Change and Opportunities!
Positive changes are coming. Change will offer you opportunities. It’s time to create a more fulfilling and authentic life. Now is the time to explore what it is that you really like and want. When you take the time to appreciate everything, you begin to see how many great things there are in your life. You will then realize that whatever is changing, it is only one small part of a wonderful life.
July is a Time of Tragedy and Comedy
Motivated by the need to hide true emotion, July is a time of tragedy and comedy. The sensitive Water Element feels the transition of the spring awakening that has deepened into a mid-summer experience of beauty and adventure. Guided by July’s planet, the Moon, we run through the whole gamut of emotions that come with the changing tides. It’s a time to avoid smothering others with our protective love and devotion. July is a month when we tend to hang on to money, and usually store it in savings accounts for a rainy day.
July and Your Finances
July will be great for your finances. Get your money in order now so you can enjoy the new income growth that will begin next month and continue through to October. In terms of energy levels and getting ahead, sharing what you have can lead others to do the same. You are charitable and kinder than usual for the sake of letting your expression be one of love.
July and Adventures
Your relationships, romantic and otherwise, seem to happen suddenly. Most don’t last long, but what an adventure they are. It’s all about taking the simple everyday things you do with your friends that takes the relationship from being a good relationship to a great one. Life is meant to be fun – it’s meant to be an adventure.
July Brings Clarity
July is a time for clarity. Your sleeping mind is psychically active, with colorful dreams and ideas that bubble up from the deeper levels of your psyche. These subconscious thoughts will provide you with an endless supply of answers and guidance. If you don’t understand their messages, you may create a block that could create health problems. Take some quiet time to meditate. It will bring you the clarity you seek.
Change and Challenges
July brings unexpected changes in your life. Some things are different than you expected them to be. Try to view this as a challenge and a chance to grow. Understand that change is an inevitable part of life. Enjoy the journey and appreciate that, every step of the way, you can be in a state of constant positive progress. You’re always developing into the person you’re meant to be. Embrace this change for it will turn out to be a positive one.
Boost Your Mood in July
July is the perfect time to boost your mood. You may be getting tired of hearing everyone telling you that you need more exercise. Sure. Exercising is great for you physically. But, it’s also an excellent way to become more positive in life. Exercise can change the direction of most situations in your life. You don’t need to run marathons, just get more active. The benefits of exercise and moving around more, are immeasurable. You gain purpose, drive, but most of all it teaches you a discipline. When you boost your mood, wonderful things start to happen.
July Brings Peace
You have been taking on more responsibility than you can or should handle. Too much responsibility causes stress. Stress and emotions can often feel overwhelming. It’s time to find a healthy outlet to express yourself. Take a break from your worries by doing something you enjoy. Doing things you enjoy is a natural way to relieve stress and find your happy place. Whether it’s gardening or painting, schedule time to indulge your interest.
We love flitting from one thing to another in search of the ultimate. Outside circumstances tend to toss us a curve ball, so watch out for road blocks and don’t be too intense. Life isn’t always an either/or proposition. Slow down, think before you act and speak, and try to see the issue the way the other guy does. Don’t jump to conclusions.
August brings a deep need to establish roots and make our home comfortable, warm and a reflection of our own importance. Changes in residences in the past have given us good memories and strong feelings of security. It is also a month that brings ways to make money that are unusual. Some of these methods may be so far ahead of their time that they border on genius.
You have a strong love of music and a fondness for beautiful surroundings. You usually do everything in a big way and have an inclination for travel and adventure. You know where you want to go, but lack direction. Instead of spending time in chat rooms on the internet, plan that adventure for the near future. It will work for you.
Our core beliefs determine our reality. August brings optimism, even when faced with enormous challenges. Watch out for being too trusting of smooth talkers with devious plans. Yoga, meditation or an exercise program will help you overcome these issues.
It’s time to stop wasting a lot of energy fretting about small things in your life. You’re a psychic sponge who absorbs the emotions and attitudes of the people around you. A creative outlet for your emotional energy would be most beneficial. Take a walk to your local park or a nature preserve. Nature can often help us get outside of our minds and appreciate the world around us more.
Our ideas are original and ahead of our time. When we are positive and enthusiastic about a project, we have the ability to project this and excite others. We possess depth of vision, but the dreamer side of our nature is compassionate and idealistic. We will learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow.
September is a month to bring order out of confusion. If you aren’t where you want to be in life and you want to make a change, then the first step is really knowing that it’s never too late. Today is just as great of a day to start as any other
July 16, 2019 – “Full Buck Moon”
The Full Moon is the time to stay calm, let things go, breathe deeply through difficult moments and forgive others for their mistakes. Since you have the full moon power behind you, send healing energy, forgiveness, pink light and loving-kindness to friends, family, colleagues, and strangers.
There are two Equinox points each year (spring and autumn) and two Solstice points (summer and winter). During the Summer Solstice, the Sun will appear to stop and then begin declining in the slightest way each day in a southward direction. The date of the Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year because at that point the Sun stops right over the Tropic of Cancer which is the northernmost point.
At the Summer Solstice, Earth is positioned in its orbit so that our world’s North Pole is leaning most toward the Sun. As seen from Earth, the Sun is directly overhead at noon 23 1/2 degrees north of the equator, at an imaginary line encircling the globe known as the Tropic of Cancer – named after the constellation Cancer the Crab.
Since Cancer is associated with the ocean, this can be likened to our depth of creativity. The ocean waves are like the heartbeats of the earth – their motion is constant. They unconsciously remind us that we are part of something larger – part of a natural rhythm that needs no effort on our part to continue. By getting in touch with that rhythm, we are better able to get in touch with ourselves.
The Summer Solstice is a celebration of the return to light, and it so powerfully reminds us of the Light within each of us. It is about awakening, or reaching Enlightenment, as an omnipotent symbol of ascension and the ultimate triumph of Light over Darkness.
Celebrations have been held in conjunction with the Solstice in cultures around the world for hundreds of years. Among these is Sankthans, or “Midsummer,” which is celebrated on June 24 in Scandinavian countries. In 2016, the people of Ålesund, Norway, set a world record for the tallest bonfire with their 155.5-foot celebratory bonfire.
June is the month where strawberries are finally ripe enough to be picked, according to Farmer’s Almanac. Starting as light green and tasteless, they, over time, form plump, juicy, sweet, and reddened berries that are just begging to be eaten. Could there possibly be anything that gets us more excited for the month of June than the idea of eating fresh strawberries!
If the name “Strawberry Moon,” wasn’t sweet enough already, there are even more names associated with the June Full Moon. Because not all regions grow strawberries during this time of the year, it’s additionally known as the “Rose Moon” and the “Hot Moon” in certain places.
June, the month that marks the culmination of spring and the launch of summer, is when roses are finally able to bloom in their fullest glory, spreading their velvety and perfumed petals wide open for the admiring. Since this is also the month in which the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year takes place, it makes perfect sense that it would also be known as the Hot Moon.
There’s no denying that each month, the Full Moon comes crashing in with a wave of energy. But you don’t have to get swamped by it — ride it! Grounded, stable, and hard working are key words for this June Full Moon. In fact during this Full Moon, everything will be magnified, both good and bad. Therefore, this Full Moon should be viewed both as a time of crisis as well as a time of opportunity. It depends on our overall state and activity during the Full Moon day to cultivate its positive and negative effects. Many insights can come at this time! If you can’t sleep, use the time to dance, journal, or do something creative. Creative energies are heightened at the Full Moon.
This unique Full Moon brings unusual vibrations. The time is right under this Moon for change and new opportunities in your life. This Moon stage represents a wave of new possibilities and time for change, so, like a New Year’s resolution, it’s the time to jump into new experiences and take chances. Stay calm and relax the mind during this Full Moon day to avoid possible emotional and mental fluctuations.
Another way to take advantage of the strong vibrations of a Full Moon is to cleanse and relax your mind. Relaxing the mind can be done with affirmations. It is appropriate to use positive affirmations during the Full Moon. Repeat your favorite affirmation for at least three minutes, preferably outside under this Full Moon.
The energy of a Full Moon can be good for you if you use it right. It can increase the level of your positive energy and it can definitely stir your emotions. The best way to embrace this energy is to stay calm. During the Full Moon, emotions are magnified. The time of the Full Moon is a powerful energy healing opportunity, an optimum time for meditating, recharging your energy field, and clearing your Chakras.
Each of us has our own aura that reflects our personal energy and affects our ability to connect with others. Our Aura is formed from the energies around our body. This energy field not only goes around us, but throughout and into our body. Our aura interacts with other people’s auras and this is how we are affected by others. Auras are not only beautiful, but helpful in understanding what someone is thinking and feeling.
Auras vibrate to different colors, sounds, and lights. The color spectrum varies with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual state. This aura reflects much about us. It can read our mental and physical health. For best results, we should be willing to meditate to see Auras.
Aura colors represent different things, and to be able to see auras enables a person to manipulate energy fields for better health and stability. When a person maintains their bio-energy system in a flowing, open and balanced way, they will experience health and good emotional, mental and spiritual well being.
Auras appear as a shimmering, multi-colored field, radiating from the heart or the head, while surrounding the body. A person skilled in the practice of the Metaphysical can interpret a person’s state of mind and their spiritual and personal health by observing their Aura.
With practice, it is not difficult to see auras. A good way to begin is to practice sensing them. That means paying attention to how you feel in someone’s presence. Take a deep breath, exhale and then focus on the physical sensations in your body and your gut reaction. Ask yourself how being around the person makes you feel–serene? jumpy? agitated? Think about what color you would attach to this person. As your abilities are enhanced, sensing and seeing auras will become easier. The brightness of a person’s aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If they feel happy and full of life their aura is stronger, larger and brighter. Try playing your partner’s favorite music to help energize his or her aura and make it easier to see.
Auras expand and retract throughout the day as a reaction to what the environment or people in the environment are sending out. For example, if you are around those you are comfortable with your aura will be a bit larger because you feel more comfortable sending out your energy. However, if you are in a hostile or unfamiliar surrounding you may contract your aura as a form of protection. Similarly if you are tired your aura will contract and become muted or muddy, but if you are rested it should be relatively vibrant and expansive, provided you rested well.
A great way to cleanse your aura of negative energies is Smudging. Burning sage is an ancient tradition used to clear rooms or people of negative energy. If our aura is clear and strong, it will guide us and put us in the position to live the best life we know we deserve and desire.
The human Aura is both an energy field and a reflection of the subtle life energies within the body. These energies make us what we are, and in turn, are affected by our surroundings and life style. The Aura reflects our health, character, mental activity and emotional state. It may also show disease, often long before the onset of symptoms.
The color of the Aura is impacted by health—both physical and mental—what we are experiencing in the moment, and how we “run” our energy most of the time. Drug use, trauma, prayer, and healing work can all change the substance of the Aura for better or worse. What we spend our time thinking about, viewing, doing, and believing, all have an impact on the quality of our Aura.
When you are depressed, your psychic energy is also depressed. Negative emotions like fear and anxiety create blockages to our physical energy as well as our emotional energy and Aura. When you can clear your Aura of negativity, you have freedom from what is holding you back.
Surround yourself with sunlight. Spending as much time in the sunshine with nature is, for the Aura, like honey to a bee. Try to get as close to the Earth as you possibly can, whether that means hugging a tree, smelling flowers, walking barefoot, or meditating.
Practice Forgiveness. Not only letting go of the pain in your past but forgiving the person who caused it, can clear the negative energy from your Aura. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, and thereby giving power over you to the person who caused you pain, look for the love, beauty, and kindness around you.
Try Smudging to get rid of any bad energy. The fragrant smoke from burning herbs or resins has been used for cleansing negative energy for centuries. Most people interested in clearing energy start with sage. It is the smoke from burning the sage that purifies. Using a sage bundle or stick incense, light the end, let it burn a few moments, and blow it out. The end should be glowing red, with smoke coming out of it. Move the smoke over and around you, or the person to be cleansed.
Gratitude is an important tool to change your Aura. An ungrateful person will have a dull, gray Aura and keep attracting negativity in life. On the other hand, belief in the Law of Abundance brings positivity and the gifts life has to offer. Be grateful for all that you have and keep praying and giving your thanks for it.
Take full responsibility for your life. Your thoughts and your actions are important to creating a more positive life. Positivity is a step-by-step process when you do it solo, but a positive group of friends can be a blessing.
The Rat is the first in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. It has characteristics of an animal with spirit, wit, alertness, delicacy, flexibility and vitality. In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.
Rat is Yin Water, the last element of the Yin-Yang Five Elements. It is connected to knowledge, memory, and learning. Water Rats show great wisdom in balancing power and strategy. They are rather conservative in their actions as they prefer to swim with the tide rather than against it. This tends to bring good luck into their lives.
It’s not all smooth-sailing for Rats in 2020. However, any setbacks you experience will be buffered by new opportunities – if you remain open to them. That being said, you’d do well to avoid any speculative investment, for this is not the year for taking risks. You can expect to be prosperous and happy in the coming months, if you can avoid the bad luck trying to influence you. Use the Moon cycles to manifest. Each month you have a New Moon, which is the time to start visualizing what you want and go after it. Even as your earnings increase, try to live off a set income level and add to your investments. Don’t deny yourself, but avoid spending for an outward show or status symbol. Allowing your interest-earning accounts to grow will help you offset any downturns or emergency expenses.
June 17 – Full Moon in Sagittarius. This Moon is also called the Strawberry Moon
The Moon and Saturn will share the same right ascension and will be visible in this morning’s sky. Saturn, the planet of Karma and responsibility, will fully manifest for the first time in 29 years, being home in Capricorn, the sign which it governs! Karma is the age-old theory of getting what we deserve based on our thoughts and actions. Practice kindness and compassion. Never underestimate the power of good Karma!
June 21 – Summer Solstice and Cancer, the Season of the Crab, begins 
June 25 – The Moon is at Last Quarter
To people who live in Earth’s northern hemisphere, this astronomical event signals the arrival of spring, winter’s end, and the increasingly warm and brighter days that come with the pending arrival of summer.
Take some time to celebrate the new life that surrounds you in nature. Watch the sunrise and/or sunset, go for a walk in the park, take a bike ride, lay in the grass, or take a hike. As you do so, observe all the new life beginning around you.
It is the perfect time to bring acceptance to your life no matter the circumstances or the judgments over what is good and what is bad, and to instead honor the journey.
