Is it time for that old story of who you were told you were supposed to be, to finally be gone? Is it finally Time to let go of those old stories, attitudes and emotions which have locked you For many of you the economy is making us let go of things which have weighted us down, jobs which we hated but could not let go of because of security, relationships long dead and still holding on. Now We are now in a FREE UP state, which is scary for many because, some of us felt we were not ready to be free yet. Well, ready or not the universe is delivering freedom to us and now it is our job as to what to do with it. We can sit and worry “what if” or we can use that time, and be proactive and get out and connect and Do new things, and BECOME … FIRE (LEO) and WATER (Cancer) energy this month asks us to balance intuition with Passion and action with feelings and this is what July is all about. But, This year we have a very STRONG planetary alignment of planets in AIR signs allowing us new (ideas, communication, networking, and a great many opportunities for replanning our lives) NOW it is time to use the AIR Energy properly as we are asked to have faith; Jupiter, Believe and create; Neptune, and Chiron, heal our past wounds with these major energies together for the first time in our lives in Aquarius (AIR) Going backwards until fall, reconnecting us with our old dreams in order to create them or something better. We have the Sun in Cancer until the 22nd and we are asked to look at our feelings, emotions and what motivates our actions…., the powers of this time for us all are about GROWTH AND TRUST through inner connection with feelings (water) and passion (fire). The sun in the water sign of Cancer is us to connect to ourselves. Cancers motto is “I FEEL” and it has the crab for a symbol and is ruled by the moon (our emotional energy and our past lives) Colors for this time are silver and soft pastel shades and this time truly is charged with many increases in intuition as well as other types of sensitivity. No-matter what you have read about the sign of Cancer. #1 the first mission of Cancer is to search out ways to nurture our own personal lives. Cancer brings us the hunger for the security of belonging and connection, which often takes us off into doing for others before we really begin to find our own source of emotionally nurturing ourselves. But without connection to knowing what we love, what feeds our souls and what nurtures us, we truly cannot do anything for anyone can we? Water is emotions, intuition and divine connection to your inner voice. the Sun, (the light), and Mercury (ideas) moving to Cancer on the 3rd ask us to enter this first Lunar eclipse, Full moon energy on the 7th Feeling and beginning to be willing to Create our future. HAPPY birthday to you Cancerians out there and for us all this place within our lives (astrology charts will be HOT for the next 2 years) So, we shall all be picking up lots of energy from this increased intuition and awareness. This master 11 year of spiritual connections to others now is adding the 7th month to the magic ,and this makes this month a 9 month of endings. (2009 is a 11 year) How perfect is that with the eclipses which are trying to do the same for you. The sky is trying to help you END your state of wondering and worrying and put you in a state of (WATER) intuition and knowing by how you FEEL what is the right thing to do. AND Fire (action, energy and passion to get going and do it) And Air, new contacts and ideas and people coming to you to help. So…all we have to do this month is hang on tight and be willing to eclipse our old story in order to write the new one. We can do that, right? July is always a pretty Hot and passionate Astrological month for us and this year it is truly anchored into more stability with Venus and Mars in The stable Sign of Taurus, Pluto the planet of the evolution of our soul in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo. Creating the need for some stability and maybe help turn off that perpetual 911 we are hearing from others in fear mode. We have a grand trine of earth to help us build the first of this month programmed in for us. The Full moon Lunar eclipse on the 7th has the moon in Capricorn (asking us to look to our dreams of what we wanted to create and become on this planet) and the Sun in Cancer asking us to take care of ourselves, and to recognize the need to take some Time to calm down, time to be soothed a bit, to connect into nature and into our own inner needs, to connect to our thoughts and emotions and time to listen to our dreams. Use Mother Nature, outdoors, trees, live flowers, morning glories and any green foliage to soothe and calm you . This energy of change is here to stay and unless we connect more to selves, how can we truly do what our souls came here to do this lifetime. The eclipse duty of this time is to release you from limitations of “I never could do that” “But I always have done or thought” “I wish but could never” So lets eclipse these ideas plus I am sure you have your own ideas of what you would like to rid yourself of in this 9 month of endings? On the 21st we have a NEW MOON SOLAR eclipse that day. This joining of the sun and moon is at 30 degrees of Cancer and again reinforces the theme of connection to source. Anything happening at the very last degree of a sign has great significant importance and A solar eclipse is a great time to eclipse the “I” in order to replace it with an more updated version of the “I”. Whatever you are doing this month, recognize people will be very sensitive and emotionally connected into what they are feeling maybe more than what they are hearing you say As the sun enters the FIRE sign of Leo on the 22nd (HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO Sun signs) this creative, innovative and passionate fire energy brings some much need OOPH to us all. Just remember whatever is coming up for all of us is not new, it has been going on for a long time and eclipse months tend to ECLIPSE things in order for us to see more clearly. Mercury (how we think entered Leo on July 17th bringing lots of new ideas and plans forward for us all. But by months end Mars and Venus in Gemini may have many of us a bit too puzzled to make important decisions as options and opportunities keep coming to us. Solar eclipses block the now in order for us to see the past and what got us here, old ideas and patterns. Lunar eclipses block the past in order for us to begin to let go of what is holding us back from recreating ourselves. This is an interesting month and not much suited to new businesses or really a great deal of FORWARD GO FOR IT motion. Much better to hold back a little bit if possible and wait until after the 3rd (yep, another one coming) Eclipse in August on the 5th for things to settle down a bit. By August 28th much of the flutter will have cleared and A huge aspect is happening August 22nd as the North node in the sky moves into Capricorn and the South Node to Cancer bringing this earth and water, emotions and building to us for the next 14 months on a daily basis. BRINGS much more focus and connection to us all. Fire is the element of magic and using scents like clove, frankincense, peppermint, rosemary will bring us closer to our own personal earth & Fire magic. Harness this Magic to have fire, (Passion in our lives) and use the stone Kyanite to Raise Consciousness, Peridot, which allows an easier flow of information from higher self, and Iolite, which clears negativity and they work equally well with Fire and water energy.. But mainly please remember, we came to this planet to assist each other but I believe we came for our souls growth, and without healthy self care how can we grow? Find people who encourage and nourish you, find things you love to do, songs, music, nature, animals, whatever brings you nourishment and INDULGE…eclipses reverberate for up to 6 months so these Events are going to be working in our lives for a long time. ENJOY July 2009 and have a Happy 4th of July and CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE from your old emotions, voices, and patterns which are not a part of the NEW LIBERATED you. Namaste
