Embrace all events with an attitude of gratitude. It’s as though you are being scooped up in the arms of Love as you observe life through eyes of appreciation. No matter what occurs at this time, its purpose in your life is complete. As you look for the good, you will find it. If you allow momentary disappointments or even major life events to cause doubt, you deflect the potential that is here now waiting on welcome. Look to God first – then all else shall be added. See the bigger picture, reflect that possibility to others, and receive the blessings of your faith in action.

You are being asked to stand up for something you believe in or to take more initiative regarding work or projects that are meaningful to you. This is the time to move forward, plants seeds for the future, and express yourself with courage, stamina, and a sense of fullness regarding who you are and how you want to proceed. As you open new doors with conviction, excellent connections can be made. Not everything will come to fruition yet, but the importance is in stepping forward and making your presence known. Be aware that everyone wants to be special, so as you initiate connections, recognize the value of each person’s input, maintaining integrity to your vision, but acknowledging the contributions that others make. This one act goes a long way towards insuring success!

What do you want, and what does everyone else want? Personality issues may arise to give you an opportunity to use intuitive capabilities to bring peace to warring factions. As you look beneath the surface of words spoken in haste, you have the capacity of being the peacemaker and guiding light to those caught in illusion or disrupted energy. Recognize the need for boundaries so you don’t allow intrusion into your sacred space, but keep your “soft” eyes open so that compassion and forgiveness become companions, rather than a legalistic view. Merging in love is possible now, as is the need to release others or attitudes that deny you wellbeing. Discernment in choices is all-important during July. Your guideline is – does this nourish and support me, or drain and deplete me?

Oh what a merry time this can be as you express more freely, bask in the limelight, and choose friends and companions that are joyous, fun loving, and uplifting. You can be the life of the party, or a great inspiration to others in need of more light. You have the gift of creativity this month, and are advised to use it with gusto. Leave the crabby ones alone during this time. Choose those who uphold childlike qualities of wonder, delight, and encouragement. Humor is a great antidote to anything, so adopt it liberally, and let the music of your soul express in whatever way is most conducive to the wellbeing of you and everyone whose life you touch!

If you have wanted to make changes, or felt restricted by circumstances, the opportunity now is for reconstructing your life in some way. If you’ve avoided taking care of health issues, this is a time of rebuilding your body. If there have been issues at work, break through the barriers that constitute illusion of limitation, and strike a note of optimism and willingness to risk to the unknown.. Observe where you feel stuck, and your reaction to that state. As you push a little harder or take a stand, you may be surprised to see how easily you break through blocks that have held you in bondage. Death of the old and birth of the new is part of this energetic package, so prepare to be reborn through willingness – liberated from that which no longer fits.

This is an excellent time for travel or taking a more active role in life. Expand horizons, let your curiosity lead you into new avenues of exploration, and connect with people and ideas that are stimulating and refreshing. Within the context of activity, it is a good idea to have meaningful focus – for the tendency now is to jump from one thing to the next without a plan, or to depart from reasoned self-discipline. You may feel critical of others when you are not doing what you need to do for yourself, so see that you have achievable goals along the way, and make sure you read fine print when you sign agreements.  Be the adventurer – but also remember to fulfill the promises you make to others so you are not perceived as a wandering flake!

It’s a lovely time for family gatherings, loving get-togethers, and extending yourself in service to others. The opportunity for appreciation and rewards based on what you give from an open heart is marked, but you can also reap the results of resentment should you do things with a sense of obligation and duty that is based on following the letter of the law, rather than the spirit. Engage your heart in everything you undertake. If you cannot do that, ask others to find help elsewhere. Be real with yourself as to what feels good, and where you feel burdened. There is no blame in the decisions you make, save for your own inner feelings and missed opportunity should you not enjoy what you do. Find the space of compassion within, and you will be blessed as well as a blessing to everyone you touch.

Focus on your purpose. Why are you here? What is life all about? This month calls for you to go deeper, and investigate areas that bring greater truth to the surface. You may be called upon to bring your gifts of knowledge forward. This can be a time when you want to retreat from over-activity and research something that is specifically interesting to you. It’s also a wonderful month for spending time in nature – finding a sacred space that offers quiet and time for reflection. During this month you may also make connection with a soul friend, or someone from the past with whom you have unfinished business. There is a quality of “fate” to this time, and you are asked to look upon everything as an opportunity to either release misconceptions, or to accept gifts of spirit as they are delivered.
