Free Your Energy
The Decluttering Repatterning
September 28, 2026, at 3:30 pm Eastern

Have you ever noticed how quickly “stuff” can creep in?

A few pieces of paper arrive at the front door. They sit on the counter for a day or two. Then more things land on top of them. Before long, that small pile has become a mountain—and somehow, the room feels heavier too.

Our physical surroundings affect how we feel, think, move and focus. The things we keep can carry the resonance of memories, obligations, unfinished decisions and old versions of ourselves. Even when we’re not thinking about them, they tug on our energy and attention.

Beyond making a room look tidy, decluttering is an opportunity to ask:

What still belongs in my life?
What am I keeping out of habit, guilt or fear?
What am I ready to release?
What would become possible if I created more space?This month, we’ll explore the Decluttering Repatterning—a process for shifting the patterns that keep us holding on, accumulating, postponing decisions or delaying choices.

I will be doing this work alongside you. My personal challenge is to get a grip on my fabric stash: to let go of materials I’m not going to use and turn my studio into a space as organized and inviting as a high‑end fashion store—so I can see what I have, love what I keep and reach what supports my creativity.

Perhaps your challenge is a desk, a closet, a basement, a kitchen counter, a pile of paperwork—or simply the constant stream of new things coming into your home.

Together, we’ll look at the emotional patterns behind clutter—overwhelm, scarcity, guilt, attachment and the fear of the “wrong” choice—and cultivate clarity, discernment, spaciousness, simplicity, beauty, freedom and ease.

The aim is to choose, on purpose, what you keep and how your space supports the life you want—and let go of chasing a picture‑perfect house. From that resonance, everyday choices get simpler and more aligned.

When we release what no longer serves, we make room for what does—freeing energy for creativity, rest, connection and the life we’re choosing now.

As we cultivate the habit of decluttering, we naturally:

Sleep more deeply
Think more clearly and decide with confidence
Feel more balanced and less overwhelmed
Connect more authentically
Create space for new opportunities

This repatterning will help us to...

Create clarity about what we want
Clear patterns that block growth
Create movement toward our vision and intentions

Astrologer Julie Simmons writes about THIS Mercury Retrograde...

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio:

Flavor of Mercury retrograde October 24th – November 13th 2026

There is a ruthless edge to this retrograde period. Maybe it’s the uneasy fallout from the trade war and the ferment all over this planet. Mercury will make a lot of aspects with other planets during this retrograde indicating strong interactions of a challenging nature, causing friction as it reveals shadowy stuff. No one likes it when the shadow shows up although some of us have become a bit more realistic in acknowledging that it is real and has to be engaged at times. Hopefully you have not been hiding from yourself. Given the proximity with Venus retrograde (October 3 – November 13) in timing as well as by sign and degree this feels like an invitation for a deep dive into whatever your mystery happens to be. It’s helpful during a time such as this to practice relaxation in the face of things you might instinctively want to resist. To stand against the misuses and abuses of power we do best when we are grounded and anchored to our lower dantien, the seat of physical power in the body.

Days of strong tension to pay attention to before (in the shadow) and during the retrograde period are:

October 2nd: Square both Pluto and Mars
October 6th: conjunct Venus close to its station retrograde.
October 30th (again): Square Mars
November 4th: Conjunct the Sun
Although not exact, Mercury hovers near to a square with Jupiter around the time of the station retrograde on October 24th.

You may feel these aspects before and after the day. Each one challenges us to listen to our gut feelings, to acknowledge them no matter what they are and to refrain* from immediately taking action, to consider (be with the stars), to strategize, to measure our opponents, the situations we encounter, and to be aware of the power and strength of our reactions. Are they merited? Do they arise from the past or conditions in the present? Are we prepared to speak truth to power and abide by the consequences? Are we in for the long haul? Whatever it takes? Scorpio means business. Venus and Mercury go direct on the same day (November 13th). It’s not until November 6th or 7th that we begin to be ready to act on what we feel. You will know when the time is right. That’s how Scorpio works.

*Of course sometimes we are in situations that are dangerous or untenable in which case we have to act. Our gut level knowing can alert us to that condition if it presents itself.

Warmly,

Julie Simmons

Mercury Retrograde, made easier

Starting June 29, Mercury appears to move backward—often bringing mix‑ups with messages, schedules, and agreements. If you write, broadcast, build for the web, publish, or practice law, you may feel it more. It’s not a curse; it’s a cue to slow down, clarify, and realign.

What tends to happen
During retrograde, details get slippery. We mishear, misread, and miss appointments. That’s why people advise waiting on big commitments. But life doesn’t pause—contracts still get signed, homes bought, celebrations planned. The invitation is to work with this energy so you move through it with more ease, insight, and even humor.

How this group session helps
Astrologer Julie Simmons and Life Repatterning coach Carolyn Winter combine clear astrological timing with practical energy work. Julie frames what this specific retrograde is asking of us—where to be careful, and where to lean in. Carolyn leads a live group Life Repatterning to shift patterns of frustration and miscommunication into clarity, calm, and better outcomes.

You’ll leave with:
• a grounded understanding of the retrograde themes at play
• a reset in your personal “signal” so conversations, decisions, and details land cleanly
• simple practices to navigate contracts, launches, and life logistics without drama

About the method
Life Repatterning works well at a distance and in groups. We identify the energetic patterns that keep you stuck, then flip them so you resonate with what you want—clear communication, timely decisions, and a steadier pace. In a group field, change is amplified; you benefit personally while contributing to a collective shift.
