Resentment Is a Self-Inflicted Anchor

Surrender Card: Surrender Resentments

“Holding on to resentments only poisons you. Try to forgive others for their shortcomings and keep moving forward toward positive situations in your life.”

So that’s what the card says, but in the world of Amanda, forgiveness isn’t for others, it’s for ourselves and our soul agreements. Resentment, if you scratch the surface, might begin as anger toward others, but scratch hard and it often starts with a quiet agreement we made with ourselves, to tolerate unacceptable behavior or stay present in unhealed dynamics. When you dig deeper, resentment isn’t always about what they did, it’s about what you didn’t allow yourself to do: speak up, set a boundary, reclaim your power.

This week asks you not just to forgive the other, but to forgive your soul for remaining quiet in moments that cost you your peace.

Astrology Insight: Mercury Retrograde in Leo (July 17–August 11)

This isn't your typical tech-glitch retrograde. Mercury moving backward in Leo brings pressure on how we express ourselves, especially when enforcing boundaries. I was reading one of Elizabeth Peru’s posts the other day and she mentioned the best way to use this MRx was to slow down and reflect. Take a moment to listen to what you’re listening to, to hear deeply what you’re inner voice or inner knowing is telling you.

Right now, with all the astrology happening - and I think there’s something touching on the Wounded Healer CHIRON too - we have a wonderful opportunity to make an agreement with ourselves about pulling the pin on our old way of handling things. Our old way of handling things, for some, has created a world of hurt, and we question, we loathe, we pile on ourselves, we shake our fist at the sky - and then we find peace somewhere in there - even if you don’t exactly know or can join the dots to what the peace is.

What do I mean by that? ….

Message from Amanda

Well, there’s a point where you will reflect to the farthest reaches of reflection and you’ll stop having energy for it anymore. Sometimes, the big aha isn’t meant for now, it’ll come later.

To help explain what I mean. I went through the most horrible employment experience of my entire career from July to December 2024. What it did to my nervous system might become another book in the People Pleaser series I’m still sitting in draft with. Then I did the healing work, and followed the Universe’s lead and everything panned out into the most perfect job, in the most perfect location with the most perfect emotionally aware and evolved people. I know the Law of Attraction palaver and the going through something to find my true North - and in the same sentence, while I can’t change anything that I lived through - I never want to go through anything like that ever again. It took my nervous system five months to stop resenting what had happened. I also knew that I allowed it to happen because I’d convinced myself I could handle it.

So, surrender I did. I don’t know why I had to go through what I did, all I know is I came out the other side, and one day, I’m sure my AHA will be so massive, it will probably make me ugly snot cry. Until then though, I’m good to carry on with the joy that is my new reality today.

Give yourself the space to see, understand if you can, or surrender to the truth that the understanding will come at the right time, and do your best to relax and trust life has your back. Your back. Your life. No one else is your topic of concern at the moment - no matter how hard that is to read - you must leave others to their own lot in life because they deserve to grow through it as much as you deserve to focus and grow through yours.

Zodiac Mini-Sessions

Read your sun, rising and moon and if you know where Chiron is transiting towards the last degrees of Aries in your chart - you might want to look at that too, as well as the theme of communication with the Leo mini-reading here.

♈️ ARIES – Yearning
You want closeness but aren't saying what you need. That quiet yearning? It's a signpost, not a nuisance.

♉️ TAURUS – Pressure
You're trying to handle too much on your own. Saying “no” is not weakness; it’s self-preservation. Together with saying yes if someone offers to help.

♊️ GEMINI – Responsibility
You own more than your fair share. This week invites you to release what's not yours to carry.

♋️ CANCER – Silence
You’re holding back to avoid hurt. But silent storms eventually break, let the sunlight in.

♌️ LEO – Inadequacy
You fear coming off wrong. Remember: your right words don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be yours.

♍️ VIRGO – Despair
Trying to control outcomes is exhausting. Surrender, withou shame, brings relief.

♎️ LIBRA – Image
You’d rather stay liked than be real. But liked is fleeting. Real is lasting.

♏️ SCORPIO – Showcasing
Maybe you perform even when hurt. But sincerity doesn’t need a spotlight; it needs safety. What’s the story you’re telling yourself?

♐️ SAGITTARIUS – Avoidance
You’ve ghosted honesty before. But distance rarely resolves where only reflection can.

♑️ CAPRICORN – Compromise
You compromise to hold space. But when you lose yourself, what remains worth keeping?

♒️ AQUARIUS – Self-Sabotage
You expect too much of yourself. What if you stopped proving your worth and just were?

♓️ PISCES – Worry
You worry about how expressing feels. But not expressing may cost you even more.
