Message from Julie… Honor Thyself, trust thyself, be true to thyself and from there all good will come to pass. Sometimes it is hard to love ourselves enough to do what is good for us even when it feels bad. We have crossed the midpoint of our year in The Eternal Now (Ten 2008 or 2+8=10 which when you remove the naught (zero) reduces to ONE). Honoring, trusting and being true to ourselves, is the highest way to keep ourselves in the moment. To do this we have to be conscious. We have to be brutally honest with ourselves, gentle and understanding. Most of all, knowing that it is summertime, we are reminded by nature that we need to be living in a way which is Vital, Alive and connected to our joy. Happiness comes from following our bliss, our joy and prosperity follows. Take advantage of this summer to be a more authentic you. Another way to look at the coming month is to examine what the planets have in store for us. July is the 7th month of a number 1 year, making this a very special month add 7 + 1 and we get the number 8. Many of us decide during 8 years or months to get out of situations where we are not getting the respect or the rewards we know we are due. I always think of the number 8 as Reward, Respect and Recognition time. This month, personally for all of us is asking, no, demanding that we open to all that energy of seeing ourselves as worthy and to recognize that if we are not receiving this then maybe it is time move on. Water (feelings) and Air (ideas) are the early month themes as we have many planets in the signs of Cancer and Uranus in Pisces is moving backwards getting a great deal of attention. Planets in Air are still giving us more ideas and options perhaps than we can process. Use the 10th, 11th and 12th as the moon entering Scorpio brings us a Grand Trine of water energy and further increases the dreams, visions and upgrades the intuition that we are all being gifted with during these 3 very powerful days. June 20th until September 20th, we are in the time of the South, the Time of summer and abundance in all things. This time in American Indian traditions is sacred to the summer signs of Cancer, Leo and Virgo. Coyote the trickster is here for us all now to use to make life more joyful. The powers of this time for us all are about GROWTH AND TRUST: For this first part of July use soft colors of silvers, blues and keep in mind that others will be feeling more sensitive than normal. Saturn is moving direct in the sign of Virgo and details and the knowledge of what we need to do will be arriving after the 12th. Expect to get some information that may surprise you as Mars the planet of action Enters Virgo the sign of facts and details on July 1st. July 12th Venus (the planet of what we want) Enters Fiery Leo we are gifted with a huge shift of Passion and action. On the 22nd the Sun Enters Leo and on the 26th Mercury (ideas and communication) enters Leo and HEART centered energy and passion rule supreme. We also have Pluto Moving Backwards and it entered (re Entered) the fire sign of Sagittarius June 13th so many of the questions which plagued us in May and June will be answered by the end of July and we will be feeling the Push to DO SOMETHING. And we have free choice, I always believe that astrology is the doors opening, the bells ringing, whistles blowing and 99 9/10th % of life is Free will. And others will for sure be exercising their free will this month and I know you will also to make the choices which are correct for you personally.. Fire is creation and Magic. So, Magic time for us all in all forms of nature is here, use potted plants, live flowers, morning glories and any green foliage to soothe and calm us as we move more and more into the time of FIRE and we are finally ready to make some huge shifts. Celestial tension release time is here so make sure when you use this fire energy to make LOVE with life and others, not war. Passion needs to be directed and we are going to have a very passionate July 2008. · Fire colors are Orange, Red, Yellow, Gold and brilliant tones · Fire is the element of magic and using scents like clove, frankincense, peppermint, rosemary will bring us closer to our own personal earth magic. · New Age stones are Kyanite to Raise Consciousness, Peridot, which allows an easier flow of information from higher self, and Iolite, which clears negativity. July 22, to August 22nd we are in the American Indian time of the Ripe Berries Moon and the elemental energy of this time (LEO) is The Thunderbird. This is the time to garner the inner strength and to have the ability to see through things. This time gives us the ability to know what is true for ourselves by our heart energy. Use this time wisely and get ready to make that shift you have known for so long is coming in your life. July 2nd brings us a New moon with the sun and moon joining at 12 Degrees of Cancer at 7:19pm PDT. These next 2 weeks connect us more strongly to feelings, intuition and are a time when connections to those we love feels mandatory. Take time for family, or friends, and fun things which help you to feel secure and happy this month. Nature is a huge part of this time, so make sure to get outside and reconnect to the earth and perhaps in doing this simple thing you will reconnect to your own sense of self also. On the 18th that Full moon with the sun at 26 degrees of Cancer and the moon at 26 Capricorn brings us to the knowledge that the old ways of doing what we were told was right for many of us are going to be changing. What ideas, or things in your life do you need to allow to gently and easily flow away from you over this next 2 weeks as the sky allows a gentle releasing energy for us all? Sunday the 20th as the moon touches Neptune we are reminded that at this time There are 4 planets retrograde Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune and 2 Asteroids: Chiron and Juno are retrograde now also, assisting us to reconnect to source and reenvision our futures. Strong inner spiritual connection is here for us all and now we have the FIRE and the Passion to finally begin the changes within self. Use the Balsamic moon (dark of the moon wish time) on the 29, 30th and 31st to set intentions by instinct, and feelings. August 1st delivers us a NEW MOON solar eclipse and we shall be feeling this by the middle of July, if not now? Remember, You deserve more than you think you do and this is the month to begin to recognize our own strengths and abilities and have the courage to use them for the betterment of ourselves and the world. We have the answers and all we need within us and this month is trying to assist us in understanding this basic truth: I shall give you one of my favorite quotes "The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people. These gifts can only be given to you by yourself. They are at home in the hearth of your soul."– John O'Donohue Health Tip from the children….
Stop, look and listen. We give this advice to our children so frequently that it makes me wonder if we ever hear what we are saying. This is one of our earlier lessons in how to reduce stress in our lives. It is so simple that I almost passed it by myself. We need to occasionally stop, that's right come to a full stop. How often do we really do that. We need to look, not just to check things out, but to really see what is. and perhaps, most important we need to listen. To really hear what is being said, what is around us. We condition ourselves to move, to glance and to tune out sounds. Well, my friends, time to PAY ATTENTION. Remember this the next time you go to auto-pilot. It will help. July’s Quick easy cheese ball
