You Are In a Window Of Opportunity - Are You Seizing It?
FOMO.6: Hey friends. Grab a sip of whatever (iced matcha for me) and settle in. This letter is half-read, half-workshop—so keep a notebook or phone notes open. Ready? LFG🚀
Why I’m Writing This Now
Astrologically we’re standing on a moving train - and I know we can alllll feeeeelll ittttt:
Venus squares Saturn and Neptune today (Aug 1). Reality tests fantasies; lines get blurry, then snap into focus.
We’re in Leo season with Mercury still retrograde until Aug 11—revise, refine, rehearse.
Mars slides into Libra on Aug 6, demanding partnership-level action—not lone-wolf sprints.
Translation? The sky is screaming: Do the prep, then pounce. Windows like this don’t stay open; they slam. Oh and Lion’s Portal is coming up, like the Portal DAY on 8/8… that’s a whole other story.
Psychology backs it up. In behaviour-change research (Prochaska & DiClemente), the gap between Preparation and Action is fragile af - miss it and you loop back to contemplation hell. Tony Robbins calls the same gap “the moment of decision—cutting off any other possibility.” Miss that and you drift. You know it’s like… when you’re so tired, too tired, that you can’t fall asleep? Kinda the same thing, got to seize the opportunity when it’s present. Get out of the elevator when it’s your stop.
So let’s not drift. The next ten minutes are your launch pad.
Micro-Diagnostic: Where Are You on the Change Curve?

B. I’ve decided, but I keep hesitating.
C. I’m in motion, just need fuel + feedback.
[actually do it]
If you picked A → You’re in Awareness/Contemplation. Your job is to narrow focus (stop doom-scroll researching) and pick one arena.
