At the end of the day Faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its Happy Right Now. See once in a while, once in a Blue Moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people/life may even take your breath away. ~ Meredith Gray
This month began on a high note with the influence of beneficent Venus and Jupiter dancing in the light of the first full moon of the month. Their influence and others will make July an interesting if not unpredictable month. Currently, there are 6 planets in retrograde. Do not assume that this is bad news. Each of these retrogrades support our unlearning and learning anew. Much is going on in our lives and in the world. Deeper still, is the spiritual transformation that is taking place below the surface of our external circumstances. We are urged to witness ourselves so that we may better understand where we have been. I share the wisdom St Germaine: "Honor the path you have walked until now, and remember that it has served you well. Your Soul is encouraging you to allow the changes within you to reach a point of integration. Once this is done, then your Inner Knowing will show you the new direction you will take up." This does not imply that we should sit and do nothing. Rather, we are faced with three important questions: Do we truly Love and Accept ourselves as we are now? Are we allowing ourselves to live in all of the ways that we are capable of? Are we ready to step into our full potential? Each of us is presented with the opportunity to redirect our focus and energy. Now, more than ever before, it is imperative that we reclaim our time and energy from the patterns that don't empower our personal evolution. One cycle is nearing its end and another is beginning. July is a bridge to personal transformation. We are being prepared for the upcoming cycle of manifestation. Each of us have the opportunity to build a new and more stable foundation. It would serve us well to be open to new concepts, to release what is rigid within ourselves, and to be open to seeing the world through a new lens. What we cling too is an indicator of what we fear to know. Knowing this will help us navigate past self-imposed blocks and move forward. Creativity is high this month but so is the tendency to over-think. Relationship and partnerships are in focus this month. Be mindful of who you are, your worth, and honor others as well. The 2-3 days leading to the New Moon in Cancer on the 15th may be both creative and emotionally charged so be aware in your interactions with others. This moon helps us to get in touch with our dreams and to dive deep into our subconscious to root out what no longer works for us so that we can recreate our lives. We close the month with the second full moon of July - an auspicious Blue Full Moon in Aquarius. Its themes are freedom, breakthrough, and emotional and spiritual maturation. The Blue Moon illuminates our path into the upcoming cycle of manifestation and reminds us of our Inner Magic. It only asks that we open to the Truth of ourselves. Dance Life, my friends! Diana |
