The main themes for July are PRODUCTIVITY and MOVEMENT.
Along with the main themes we will also be playing with Creativity,
Expansion, Growth and Expression. This is a social month with a need
for community and exchange. Once Mercury breaks free (retrograde until
the 11th), things will begin to move.
If the reevaluation of June has gotten you down and you are feeling a bit low energy or greatly affected by Mercury retrograde, it will pass. Use the time until it does to tighten up your intentions, clear up your communications, and focus your priorities. If you are having trouble with Mercury retrograde, take notice of what is being affected and where it connects into your life. If it's communication, look at where your own communication isn’t clear or perhaps where you are ambivalent regarding what you wish to say. If you're affected by delays and obstacles, look at your intentions and unfinished business. Perhaps you are being forced to deal with something you have been putting off such as a car repair. Mercury retrograde activity can also teach you patience and make you aware of where you are attached to certain outcomes and procedures. Relax a little and go with the flow. Be flexible. The movement of energy during this month will result in change. Some change may be welcomed, some resisted. Movement means the movement out of bad situations, relationships, health, inappropriate projects, old paradigms, living or working locations that no longer serve, careers, jobs etc. Movement also means the movement towards and into new and better situations, relationships, health, projects, community, locations, career, jobs, growth and understanding. The image is that of a stagnant pond that finally gets a water flow and begins to move downstream. The productivity theme of the month follows movement. If you are moving away from what stagnates you and into what makes things flow in your life, you will be productive. In fact, this months things could happen very fast and you will need to be prepared to make quick decisions that may appear to be impulsive. If you know your heart and you have fine-tuned during the reevaluation of June, then the decisions will not be impulsive but rather recognized as the right move. Anything that does not feel right requires another look. Your patience with sluggish conditions and situations is likely to pay off in productivity. It is a great month for manifesting almost overnight. If you are not centered and grounded and certain about who you are and what you want, this month can be potentially stressful and overwhelming. Watch that you do not put too much on your plate and that you do not over-extend your energies. Make sure that what you say yes to is a priority in your life. However, July will also provide an opportunity to stretch a bit beyond your comfort zone and take on a bit more than you are used to. The growth and expansion of the month will inspire you to do just that. This may mean more responsibility at work, dealing with larger projects, or having the courage to make a big move or enter into a new relationship. It may also mean being willing to let go of some major attachments in your life in order to move the energy. Creativity and expression will dictate that whatever you do it is personally created by you and aligned with your personal expression. Creativity will also be behind all productivity. For example if you are in sales and your products have not been moving, they will begin to move this month with creative advertising or financing. If your health has been stagnant, things will move with creative solutions. Thinking outside the box and trying new things will stimulate movement and productivity. As for expression, you will be validated and acknowledged much more if what you are doing in the world is your own unique expression and not that of someone else. Those of you who are in work or relationship situations where you have felt your personal expression stifled may need to consider doing something about it. We are still in an emotionally centered year, so as the energy breaks loose this month, so will the emotions, the fluids, the water, the storms. We are also still in the year of the artisan, the expert at both destruction and creativity. Remember these aspects as you are navigating the movement this month. Watch for Martyrdom to creep in and try to dis-empower you when things do not go exactly as you expect them to. Be the creator of everything that happens in your life. This is the only antidote to Martyrdom and will give you your power back. Opportunities: Productivity, self-realization, improving situations in your life, completions, positive change, growth on all levels, prosperity and manifesting what you want. Challenges: Overwhelm, martyrdom, confusion, depression and anxiety, denial, attachment, anger, frustration, impatience. Relationships: Lots of movement both externally and internally. Relationship with self and relationships with others are affected by the themes. Anything you attempt that is from a place of emotional integrity will be productive. Look for movement in and out of relationships and movement within relationships that have been stagnant. Be particularly sensitive to relationships affected by mercury retrograde in terms of communication and other challenges. These are the ones that may need some work. Personal Growth and Well-Being This is a month of choices in this area. You may be faced with choices regarding what you do with your energy. It will be most important to look at your energy leaks and choose more appropriate ways to use your energy and vitality. If you do this, you will gain tremendously in personal power and satisfaction. Business, Finance, Projects, Partnerships Whatever has been sluggish in this area will begin to move. If you have had trouble getting a project or partnership off the ground, this will be the month when it will move forward provided it is in integrity with who you are. Money flows more easily, the economy may get a boost. There is more exchange and productivity. Remember to be creative in the ways that you run your business or market your products. It may even be a good month to restructure some of the ways you do business. Physical Health and Well–Being Watch for adrenals to be stressed, pulled muscles and tendons, imbalance in the kidneys. The body is responding to the surge of movement and energy and needs to adjust. Balance is important as this adjustment takes place. Monitor your output of energy and don’t put too much on your plate. If your health and energy levels have been sluggish, this is a good month for getting your vitality back. Regular exercise is key as well as commitments to good eating and sleeping habits. Climate, Weather and the Environment The force of movement later in the month could translate into storms, floods, hurricanes and earth movement. On the other hand, the productivity theme supports environmental issues and the movement of new solutions in the right direction. The climate continues to be erratic across the globe with creative and emotional expression taking a variety of forms. Government, Politics and Global Issues The burst of movement and productivity this month will influence the arena of politics in explosive movement. We may see people dropping in and out of politics unexpectedly. On the other hand there may also be momentum for the gathering of people for movements, making a statement or a stand. Those who have been sitting back and not participating will suddenly find themselves wanting to be a part of change. Specific dates June 30: Full Moon at 6:39 AM Mountain Standard Time. This is a higher centered time to experience love, joy and satisfaction. Spend it with community and be inspired. July 1-6: A window where things could get confusing, depressing or sluggish. Pay attention to details. Do what is in front of you. Continue to weed out what doesn’t serve and persevere in your spiritual practices. This time frame may not feel like movement forward, rather a sifting through the pieces already on your plate. Use this time to complete any loose ends or unfinished business. July 7-11: May be known as the calm before the storm. In the last throws of mercury retrograde think of an ocean wave receding and gathering momentum in a swell before it crashes onto the beach. You may acutely aware of congested and sluggish energy or just things at a standstill. Enjoy the peace of any quiet time you have. It is about to change. If events occur than in any way feel like a back-slide, think of the wave pulling in on itself and gathering momentum. July 12-19: Time of greatest movement in all shapes and forms. Observe and enjoy how things are moving in your life. Practice being in the driver’s seat and be proactive when it comes to your choices. That way you will not be left with the leftovers. Watch impatience and martyrdom as they try to derail you from only going straight. July 14: New Moon at 6:04AM Mountain Standard Time (one hour later Daylight time) Celebrate what is new in your life and what is old and moving out. Make a strong commitment in writing to yourself to support what needs to move out and what you wish to support moving in. July 20-31: A highly productive time where people and projects can come together easily and effortlessly. Remember to keep your plate manageable and do not agree to anything that does not serve you well. Put yourself first in matters of priority and emotional integrity. July 28: Full Moon at 6:48 PM Mountain Standard Time. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. If you have been working really hard, lighten your load for the day, go on retreat, rest, lounge, have fun! Have a great month! Jose and Lena |
