This week is a little different.

Recorded while walking through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in London, Laurie shares reflections from one of the world's most beautiful parks before sitting down beneath a tree to break down the upcoming Capricorn Full Moon, Mercury retrograde in Cancer, and the astrological themes shaping July 2026.

This episode is about building on solid foundations rather than chasing perfection. If something isn't working, it doesn't automatically mean you've failed. It may simply need to be restructured.

Laurie also shares her broader outlook for July, including global trends, practical preparation, and why staying grounded in your own life matters more than getting swept away by headlines.

• A walk through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park
• Why the Capricorn Full Moon highlights structure and long-term success
• Mercury retrograde as an opportunity to revise instead of panic
• Why experience builds wisdom better than shortcuts
• The symbolism of the heron and rugged self-determination
• How to respond when life feels unstable
• July's major astrological themes
• Practical preparedness without fear
• Predictions for global events and political shifts
• Why community and calm matter during uncertain times
