July 2021 | Energy Forecast
JULY — UNIVERSAL 3 MONTH
july is a universal 3 month which shares themes of self (putting yourself first; accepting parts of yourself that you deny or mask; self-awareness, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect, self-worth), self-expression (releasing blockages that prevent us from being ourselves such as fear of judgment or rejection from others; releasing adopted beliefs as well as false identities or behaviors that were built in search of approval through others), communication (learning to put our thoughts and feelings into words; speaking our truth; being honest with others), optimism (finding the positive in a negative situation; be more friendly and welcoming toward others), joy (discovering the source of our unhappiness; acknowledging different forms of happiness), creativity (feeling inspired; building something tangible with the various ideas that you’ll come across during this time), and growth (being able to learn from the pain of your past and express yourself without letting your wounds craft your identity; learning to not be hesitant of any new ideas or projects that you've been wanting to put out because you’re too focused on the outcome or fear of failing; learning to stop selling yourself short and playing it safe because you want to stick to what's convenient/comfortable).
BE AWARE OF:
— feeling scattered: 3 can heighten your creativity, so it’s very possible that you could have multiple ideas or past ideas coming back to be reignited. avoid trying to take action with every idea that sounds promising or you’ll find yourself lost and unsure of which route to take.
— self-doubt: comparing yourself to others that are in the spotlight that you may want to be in could cause bouts of self-doubt.
QUESTIONS THAT 3 ASKS:
— why are you choosing to hold onto something or someone that constantly makes you unhappy?
— what are you projecting onto others in order to be seen or stay in the spotlight?
— is the identity you externalize something that was crafted by yourself or an accumulation of other people’s validation and opinions of you?
— are you self-assured and confident in yourself enough to keep shining even when others judge you?
— are you expressing your feelings and thoughts for yourself or for the approval of others?
— what part of your childhood gave you joy? and how are you maintaining that joy?
— how are you communicating with others without projecting your trauma and painful past onto them?
PLANETARY TRANSITS FOR JULY —
0709 | new moon in cancer: when the moon is in cancer, it’s in its home sign so everything is felt in its core. you might find yourself focusing on your family (might be wanting to start a family of your own; questioning your connection to your family and who you consider family), your home life (is it stable?; do you feel “at home” in your own home? what changes do you need to make inside of your home to shift the energy in it?), your emotions (you might feel very emotional during this time; old feelings may surface; wondering how you can gain balance of your emotions; feeling introspective), and seeking nourishment (wanting to be loved and nurtured; aligning with people who offer you secure relationships). this new moon might even make some of you feel exhausted because of the heavy emotions that may come up, but allow yourself to feel through it because new moons urge you to clean slate.
0711 | mercury enters cancer: mercury in cancer brings themes of emotional outburst and biased thinking (difficulty putting your feelings into words; self-expression may feel challenging; emotional triggers are heightened), reflective thoughts (nostalgia; childhood memories; traumatic; family/home life are spotlighted), and the struggle of nurturing your nervous system (an increase of mental health issues are likely). also, because the sun is in cancer, mercury in cancer can amplify your moodiness, so try to be more mindful of your responses/reaction to others if a conflict arises as well as try not to take everything so personally (acknowledge what’s being projected).
0715 | chiron retrograde in arise: chiron retrograde in aries is here to trigger self-esteem issues (feelings of worthiness) and issues with our sense of self (wearing false identities to feel seen) due to attachment to our trauma, so you will definitely see an increase of your inner child wounds resurfacing throughout this time (especially if you haven’t been working through them) — chiron is the healer who finds salvation in accepting his wounds, therefore it will bring you the tools of self-empowerment and liberation, except packaged in the thing that hurts you the deepest. only leaning into your pain will bring you the greatest rewards for your effort.
0721 | venus enters virgo: venus in virgo wants us to focus on effort and what’s feeding you, not starving you; venus in virgo asks: how can we create healthy environments and habits for ourselves to mirror the value of our physical image, relationships and money? this is a good time to improve your digestive system, be specific about who you’re giving your time and energy to, utilize your money purposefully, and try to avoid nitpicking your partner (overanalyzing or fixating their flaws and how they may be inconveniencing you can stir up conflict)
0722 | sun enters leo: when the sun is in leo, we are being asked how can you create an identity for yourself without the input or projections of others holding you back from simply being you?¦ how can we avoid projecting onto others in order to be seen? sun in leo wants us to have a healthy self-esteem (self-confident, self-assured) and awareness of ourselves (self-worth; no longer needing approval or praise from others); to connect with our inner child (reflect on what happened in your childhood that took away your ability to be full of light and joy?); to embrace the part of ourselves that allows us to be playful, to laugh, to have fun, to be creative, to be imaginative.
0723 | full moon in aquarius: an aquarius full moon occurring in a universal 3 month wants us to grow up. it brings us an opportunity to clear the way, expand our awareness, and reconstruct ourselves from the inside out in an expressive way that benefits for self and others. with the leo sun opposite the moon, we can feel ourselves fighting a battle between spirit and ego-based actions that will trigger internal struggles, for sure. the aquarius full moon calls us to allow our confusion to work as a catalyst for what changes need to be made in our lives (question what is or isnt working); be open-minded (detach from what you have been normalizing); embrace making changes without resistance (stop holding onto outdated habits that do not uplift or inspire you); release old ways and try something new (ways to communicate, new ideas, new ways of thinking, etc); give without overextending yourself (form boundaries with others and avoid people-pleasing); be at service to others without neglecting yourself.
0727 | mercury enters leo: mercury in leo is here to bring a lasting boost to our confidence as we get ready to move out of the self-expressive 3 month — keep this same energy moving forward. mercury in leo is a good time to be creative so if you’re planning to do something extremely bold or anything that takes courage, now would be the time (definitely speaking to those marketing on social media). although, with the sun in leo, you want to be careful feeling overly confident because you might be expressing yourself from a place of your ego.
0728 | jupiter retrograde enters aquarius: jupiter retrograde enters aquarius until december 28th, which brings themes of belief (what you value and worship will be tested, increase in spiritual growth). during this time we may see an increase in social activism (tolerance for injustice will not be taken lightly), great discoveries in science and technology, conscious engineering of economic order, collective healing (more energy workers and healers showing up), the collective less drawn to material matters and seeking wealth within, dissolve of distorted truths and deconstructing dogmas.
0729 | mars enters virgo: when mars enters virgo, it may feel like the playtime leo energy is over. we’ll be entering a universal 4 month (august), which also happens to have a new moon in leo, so we’ll feel more of an urge to focus on stabilizing, establishing, or grounding something that needs to be done — work, organization, habits, routines, diets, details. self-determination and making improvements will be highlighted during this time (beware of perfectionism).
COLLECTIVE READING
this month is going to be very interesting… there’s so much to cover, but i’m only going to focus on specific points.
for the first half of the month (or maybe even throughout the entire month), some of us may feel very restless as we struggle to calm our thoughts/feelings; some people are gonna feel like they’re still caught up in this shit storm of chaos, confusion, uncertainty, or simply just trying to piece their life together. the areas of your life that seem to be falling apart or that you believe you just have no luck in stabilizing are unfolding the way that it is to grab your attention to what adjustments need to be made. there’s so much energy revolving around the collective feeling fed up, so now is the time to create a space for yourself that is going to feel like home to you (how can you fulfill your own emotional needs? how can you build emotional stability within yourself? how can you find a home within yourself as opposed to finding it in another person?)
your self-awareness is becoming more heightened as the weeks go by to the point that you’re building enough confidence (through inspiration and curiosity) to finally take action and create this new foundation for yourself (a new place to call home; a new place that’s going to give you nourishment), which you may feel towards the end of the month.
and speaking of inspiration and curiosity, i do see some people coming across multiple ideas this month, which may influence you to feel the scattered energy that 3 can bring, and you might find yourself walking aimlessly into an idea that doesn’t quite fulfill you, purposely, or specifically bring you the success you’re looking for, so be very picky with the ideas you do choose to follow-through with (make sure they have value; make sure it’s something you’re passionate about and you’re not just doing it because it’s working out well for someone else).
another thing i wanted to talk about is… as we know it, the world is shifting and spirituality has become mainstream. absolutely nothing wrong with that, i knew the minute jayz put out 4:44, things were going to shift in our beliefs and they certainly did. but what i’m sensing within the collective is that there are people who are not taking responsibility for their own life or spiritual beliefs and rather choose to surrender their free will to another. i get it, some of us may be feeling lost in faith or lost in themselves and just trying to get to a place of inner peace, so you might be feeling drawn to adapting a lifestyle or belief that sounds promising.
as an intuitive reader and spiritual counselor, i can admit that i love doing readings and coaching spiritual wellness to others, but i also know to some extent that constantly listening to what other people tell you about yourself and what you should believe as your truth can ultimately take you away from accessing your personal power (connecting to your intuition; adopting knowledge that doesn’t align with your soul’s path), especially if you’re not taking steps to develop your own way of living. don’t get me wrong, there’s a difference between learning from others vs following the cult, but it’s going to take spiritual discernment to know what is or who is best for you and to not get lost in trying to live like the next spiritual guru. this month, i would highly suggest finding a spiritual teacher or team that you feel aligned with.
one example: something that i’ve been seeing lately is that connecting with a reader that empowers you versus a reader that lures you to believe they hold the secret to your life and the only way to know it is through them, will tell you a lot about who is really trying to help you evolve and who is just trying to take your money.
this month, you’re also going to see more spiritual practitioners offering classes or workshops, so if you need advice on where to begin your own spiritual journey, please take advantage of these opportunities.
