July Tarot Forecast 2025

1st: Crone Day

4th: Independence Day (USA)

10th: Full Buck Moon in Capricorn

24th: New Moon in Leo

July is a month of introspection, in which we can become better acquainted with our inner light. It is a time in which we can assess what helps us thrive and shine our brightest. We begin the month with Crone Day, a celebration that encourages us to honor the wisdom we have earned through the experience we have built over the years. On this day, we can get quiet with the self, honoring our scars and sunspots–experiences we’ve survived, lessons we've learned, and prolonged periods of basking in the sun. We might commune with nature and our ancestors, to thank them for working as our teachers, and ask if there is more wisdom they have to share. Finally, we may want to consider what old patterns we want to let go of. In endings, we find new beginnings. On the fourth, we’ll want to overthrow old regimes in favor of our liberation–and then consider what we want to do with our newfound independence, and how we want to celebrate it. After a week of reflection, the Full Buck Moon in Capricorn asks us to consider how we want to revive career, life ambitions, and long-term goals. We can bring new life to this aspect of our lives, by taking practical steps towards them. Hard work and dedication are key in this time, as well as patience and faith in future harvest in the fall. Last but not least, the end of the month brings us the New Moon in Leo. This is an opportune time to complete the shift from Crone to inner child. When we foster the inner child, we promote the self-confidence necessary for play in life.

Below is an adaptation of Lotus Tarot’s 6 Card Major Arcana Spread. Here, we use all the cards available in the tarot deck.

How you feel about yourself now: The Queen of Swords ~Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac~

This month, we feel that as the Queen of Swords, we can trust our better judgment. We feel that we have become wizened through experience, having strengthened our diplomacy and strategy skills from sovereign reign on the throne and the battleground. With a clear-headed mind, we are able to discern what negative patterns and behaviors need to be cut, and what is valuable and worth holding onto. We see ourselves as someone willing to do what it takes to protect our vision, whether that be coming up with an action plan, grounding ourselves, setting boundaries, or stepping onto the battlefield to make it happen. A fierce love for ourselves and our goals drives us to cut comfortable bonds that have held us in place for too long, and bring ourselves back into the liberating present. Per the Tarot of the Holy Light, in this state we also reach for undying ancestral truths that teach us how to navigate the future, in the pursuit of our vision. We’ll want to make the most of this time of clarity by clearing away anything that might hinder the vision we want to bring forth into the world.

What you most want at this moment: The Queen of Wands ~One Way or Another by Blondie~

In July, what we want most is to blast full steam ahead. Like the Queen of Wands, we want to be fully charged in the sun, and act from a state of flow. With the weight of the club in our hands, we could forge any new path and smash any obstacles that might get in the way of our purpose. Like the Queen of Swords, this Queen also has an action plan, though she focuses more on hands-on manifestation, as opposed to carefully plotting out every detail first. The Queen of Swords would rather get out there on the battlefield, instead of sitting on and ruling from the throne. We most would like to experience her dynamism, her life force, and her ability to alchemize and actualize. Per the Tarot of the Holy Light, This Queen is uninhibited in the expression of her will, and has the incredible discipline to keep moving things forward. We admire her fortitude and confidence in her ability to create transformation, even when the results are not immediate. 

Your fears: The Ace of Wands ~Shine by Cleo Sol~

Our fears surrounding the Ace of Wands, which hamper our ability to attract the Queen of Wands energy, have to do with the volatility of the fire element. When it is controlled, fire has an attractive quality to it –but what if we were to strike a match on our own? Sometimes, the fire on the tip of the match travels down to the fingers, and we have to quickly blow it out before we get burnt. The wood of the match gets singed. We are afraid that the wand will be too hot to the touch. Fire can also quickly grow out of control, and has a high destructive capability. When we strike a match, the fire that results becomes our responsibility, and anything that results from it becomes our responsibility. The potential can be positive, but dangerous too. In the Marseilles deck, sparks fly out everywhere from this wand, meaning others can get caught in the flames of our doing as well, for better or for worse. We hesitate, wondering if we can handle the potential impact that our wand might cause. 

What is going for you: The Reverse Four of Pentacles ~I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2~

This month, we are asked to shift perspective and consider how the reverse Four of Pentacles might be working to our advantage. We are advised that the wand is not so frightful, when we take into account our past experiences and where we’ve found ourselves. At this moment, we see that the stability offered by taking the “safe path” is an illusion. Despite the assurances promised by this path, we find ourselves feeling rudderless, on a lifeboat, uncertain of where we are going. We can take stock in that we are survivors, resourceful and capable of starting over. Any failures or traumatic experiences have informed us of what we do not want to repeat, and what has not worked for us. Thus, if we are to light a match to initiate a new dream or project, we can already rule out certain choices by a process of elimination. We are not starting over with complete inexperience, though it may initially feel this way due to uncertainty of the outcome. In pursuing purpose, the outcome is uncertain –but so it has also been in the pursuit of security. In every pursuit, we have navigated with some degree of blindness, with a lack of guarantee. The striking of a match and the usage of our wand is no different, though it feels more daring. 

What is going against you: The Hermit ~Confidently Lost by Sabrina Claudio~

Though the wisdom we have gained as a Hermit is valuable, we have also taken on layers of trauma and donned identities that go against us, on the search for our brilliant path. We have taken on a lot of preconceptions and responsibilities, of what we think we should be doing. Nevertheless, as this card appears in an upright position, the Hermit indicates that we are already in the process of shedding these layers. As the Hermit, we liberate ourselves from external influences and societal conditioning, to get to the heart of who we truly are. We have ceased our pursuit of the well-worn path, instead striking out on our own and navigating in the dark on an unknown path. We find ourselves armed with nothing but our inner light, and the observed consequences and outcomes of our own actions. We may feel worn by life experience, but we are determined to find our own way. 

The outcome according to your current situation: The Star ~Starflower by Raveena~

In July, we have a unique opportunity for rest and respite that allows us to shed these layers of the Hermit, as well as the pressures of the wand. We shed the robes of our social robes, and find the shining star–the pure, authentic us in flow, healing, safety, light and intuition. Our intuition is set free to wander, fly and flow, causing our hearts to sing and remember who we truly are. The New Moon in Leo in particular reconnects us with our inner child, our creativity, and our inner tranquility. When we gaze upon the stars, we reconnect with all that is, with our ancestors, with the vast expanse of timespace that stretches across millions of years. We become a witness beyond time, experiencing that which was born long before, continues to be, will be for a long time, and that which has long ceased to shine. In the context of the night sky, we are humbled, reminded of our temporal existence in which we can only flower and shine. We can marvel at divinity within nature, and within the self–here to heal, and step into purposeful connection and beauty. 

July Tarot Forecast 2024

1st - Crone Day

4th - Independence Day

5th - New Moon in Cancer

21st - Full Moon/Buck Moon

A Note: In June, I began my nomadic year of experience and reflection in search of a dream place to set my roots. The journey began in San Diego, California. I’d like to weave my experience of each place into my tarot writing, so I may share it with you, the reader. This month highlights the Osho Zen tarot deck, which is fitting, as it reminds me of the contemplation and tranquility I’ve experienced in the Japanese Friendship Garden and Museum near Balboa Park. In transit, I passed through the same kind of garden in San Jose, CA, and look forward to the next experience in the Portland Japanese Garden. I never knew how many could be found throughout the states, or even the world –how we are all universally in awe of the peace and beauty to be found there. 

July is an introspective summer month, in which we have the opportunity to redefine how we relate to our internal sun, as it relates to the ego. In June, we experienced the heat of the summer day – the excitement in the first week of summer break. We had endless opportunities for activity–a vacation, a day on the beach with hot sand between the toes, rushing into the waves with friends, going on roller coasters, ice cream dripping off the cone and onto the hand. July in contrast is a cool summer night–the wind making itself known, a pulled up hoodie, a dark night with water feeling so cold to the feet–a sea lion, abandoned by its playmates, resting alone on the buoy. We must return home, and learn to slow our pace. July is the lull in summer break, when we must learn to occupy ourselves – with a hobby or a book, gardening or a creative pursuit. Our friends have all gone on a cross country trip, or a foreign country, or enrolled in a summer program. We must content ourselves with our own company or the spare visit to Grandmother’s house, as she knits,or tells old stories of wisdom. This is a time to seek and listen to inner wisdom as well. This month is also good for exploring independence - how to seek more of it, discovering what we can accomplish on our own, and how to celebrate it. With the upcoming New Moon in Cancer, we are encouraged to lean into the sensual, emotional, familial, and intuitive. Intense emotions are best channeled into showing care and understanding. Finally, with the Buck Moon, we will be entering a regenerative cycle, in regards to power, security, sexuality, and personal status. 

Spread for this month: The Flying Bird

Like a bird taking flight, using the divine feminine and masculine as our wings, we can use the clarity gained from the reading below to lift us higher and higher, gaining greater vision of our internal and external state for the month ahead. 

Here and Now - the “lift-off” card: Nine of Water - Laziness 

~Summer Nights by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John~

This month, there is a distinction to be made between immersing ourselves in joyful abundance, and a complacent desire to stay in this space for the sake of comfort. We are encouraged to be fully present in this moment, and appreciate it all the more for its temporal nature. We are asked to get quiet and connect with the divine. Much hard work has been done on our part to get to where we are –we have finally arrived at the future we’d been longing for and manifesting. Recognize that this is it - we are living in a state of fulfillment. This fulfillment does not always necessarily come from having all the things we’d been vying for. Rather, we made space for it with a compassionate release of pressure on ourselves and became more present. This is when we can listen to the whispers of our internal knowledge: we can meet our authentic desires. We earned the fruit of our emotional labor and now we sink into the sensual. 

However, blissfulness is not the final destination. We must be willing to move through it, lest we become like the Lotus Eaters in the Odyssey. Perhaps we built ourselves a cozy nest with all the finest things and want to stay in our comfort zone. We must shatter the illusion that keeps us dormant in peaceful apathy, that keeps us from caring for our practical concerns. This is but a stopping point on our journey. We were born to take flight, for there is more adventure that awaits us.

The Resistance Card - “fear of flying”: Four of Fire - Participation

~With a Little Help from my Friends, by the Beatles~

In the last card, we see a solitary figure and bird. Here, we see four figures sitting in a circle of giving and receiving. As the solitary figure, we are not accustomed to being a part of the flock after living in the nest so long. We may feel self conscious about our imperfect form, having not taken to the air in some time.  Comparing ourselves to others more experienced than us makes us feel intimidated or shut down, and to prevent that we may be resistant to branching out from our safe and comfortable solitude.  Participation could have burnt us in the past –an all give and no take environment, getting rejected or feeling not welcomed which solidified our concerns. Aside from rejection, we may also be afraid to celebrate ourselves where we’re at and put forward imperfect shares, not realizing that the whole flock benefits from joyous experience when we do. Participation could be seen as slowing down too much, but we need rest and integration after working hard on something. 

There may be other causes at play – perhaps we want our triumph to remain our own, or to remain unchallenged so that we don’t have to leave our comfort zone. If we joined such a group, we would no longer be able to remain a spectator– we would have to become a participant in life. We would have to make the necessary changes that the group may otherwise hold us accountable for. Joining a flock would mean we really have to put forward the time, patience, and effort into a dedicated practice, instead of just dreaming about it. 

Response-ability to the fear: King of Rainbows - Abundance

~She’s a Rainbow - The Rolling Stones~

It is our response-ability to balance the energies of resting in our comfort zone and challenging ourselves via external participation. Both these practices have something to contribute to the whole, though apart they make only half the picture, half a recipe. We have the ability to navigate both realities, as a worldly person rooted deep in spirituality. We can dress ourselves in silks and root ourselves to the ground through our bare feet. We can engage fully and sensually with our surroundings and appreciate the beauty, while maintaining a connection to the emotional, intuitive, and the divine. The lotus in our hands signifies our ability to rise from the mud unblemished and bloom. Even in a city it is important we step out into the natural world, and engage with all the colors of life. This balance makes us rich in body and in spirit, for a whole and holy experience. 

Here is also where the Buck Moon can lend us a regenerative spirit. The elder king tells us to love deeply, hold onto our values, create while we can, and not let our fears keep us from taking flight. To fly means to take the necessary risks to live our lives well. We need to honor what is holy to us. The King of Rainbows teaches us that true security comes not from forever staying in the luxurious nest, nor on the Island of Lotus Eaters. We will face a different discomfort if we do –an unpleasant itch to do something, that grows into a deeper disappointment for not answering the call. Security and holiness come through participation, committing to life, to creativity. To let these sacred noble values give us the strength and courage needed to take that first step towards true abundance. Finally, the King’s Father Time energy teaches us How - we can slow down our flight, make careful considerations, protect our precious energy,and make any needed adjustments. We must learn to gain wisdom along the way, and stay disciplined in showing up consistently. 

Inner Support (intuition) of responsibility: Page of Water - Understanding

~I Want to Break Free by Queen~

There is a bird within us –all this time we thought it was trapped in a cage. It has only just occurred to us, on an intuitive level, that the bars of this cage are illusory. It may have presented itself once as safety, but now it only keeps us from our calling. We see other birds flying free, beckoning us to do the same. Oh, how our bird longs to join them. When we start, we can approach our new and awkward flight with compassion and understanding. It takes time to get used to our wings, and progress may not always be linear. We may need to coax ourselves out at first, and break courage down into small manageable steps. Still, taking the first step is a necessary and fundamental shift to acquainting ourselves with the freedom we have all along. We may feel uncertain and self conscious at first, but soon we will taste thrill and adventure which will fuel our desire for more. Our hearts become light, and we can go to places that inspire us and bring us joy. We have to be open to finding not what we expect but what we need. The beauty of flight is not in the destination, but the journey itself–whether that be creating art or in your becoming. The wings of faith will help us navigate the intuitive and unknown. In doing so, our ideas of what is possible in our lives expands. The sky is endless. Our dreams are the compass.  

External Support (intelligent action responding to intuition): Eight of Water - Letting Go

~Let Go by Frou Frou~

To facilitate flight, in addition to understanding we were never in a cage, we can let go of the things that cage us into our former identity. We have mastered what we could within our former circumstance, and there is nowhere to grow from here. Our inner bird wants to be continually surprised and challenged, to discover and learn. To do this, we must release ourselves into the unknown, towards which we are already falling. Let go and the infinite will catch us. We will soar into the world and expose ourselves to a multitude of perspectives and wisdoms, to which we find we contribute to as well. There is no greater or lesser being – we simply find we are part of the whole. There is a message here acknowledging the hard work we’ve done leading up to the Nine of Water lift-off card, from which we’ve begun. In our hyperproductive culture, Spirit reminds us that rest and recuperation are critical after a big effort, which includes the Letting Go. While doing so, we can stop to appreciate the fruits our labor has brought us and remind ourselves what it was all for. Integration and reward is a valid and important part of the journey, as we continue to make the necessary releases.

Relaxation and Acceptance: Six of Water - The Dream

~Dreams by Fleetwood Mac~

The Six of Water teaches us to relax and accept that we are the ultimate deciders of the direction and timing in which we take flight. We are our own pilot, and are more adept in manifesting our own dreams than we realize. This results in a journey that is perfectly tailored to our needs, adaptive to where we are and where we can meet them. No one else will know us as well as we do – only we know what makes our hearts sing, how to coax ourselves forward, when to take a step back or when to take a rest. This may initially dispel a fantasy we have around someone else coming into the picture to catalyze us, to fill in the missing pieces or remove our loneliness. In this card, the figure has their hands clasped, perhaps in a loose prayer to this illusion, but we empower ourselves when we turn that faith inwards. As the masterful granter of our own wishes, we can provide ourselves with the necessary change, solutions, self love or fulfillment.. The companionship we attract will flock to support us because of what we are actively manifesting, not the other way around. Dependence is not the key to real love–this comes from developing a rich inner self. This is powerful, because no one can take that away from us. The healing needed to address the points denoted in this reading can all be addressed from within: being told that our daydreaming and creativity was laziness, that our pursuit is unworthy of supportive participation and so we must go it alone, that we must exist in a binary structure that deprives us from take the necessary risks to live a whole and holy life, that we cannot break free, that we must retain a singular identity for life which keeps us holding onto the past. To supersede these messages, we must accept the inner child and give it what it needs. We may write letters to our past selves, leave healing offerings, sing, draw, or play –whatever it is that the inner child needs.

Arrival at New Level of Awareness: Five of Water - Clinging to the Past

~Pictures of You by the Cure~

The new level of awareness that will allow flight to occur is the realization that the only thing holding us back is the past we hold onto. The past plagues and riddles, entrapping us in old experiences. Old attachments and ways of thinking, including the cage we once thought trapped us, will not allow us to see and experience the abundance of the present. Staying in the past keeps us in a scarcity mindset, feeling like our memories are all we have left and that the best is behind is. Richness awaits at our fingertips, if only we can let go and turn around to see what beautiful gifts we can access. This epiphany is something we will feel in our hearts and in our bones, such that it becomes a knowledge that lives within us. There is so much magic that lies at our fingertips should we find the courage to let it all go. Our authentic desire will strengthen us to do so. 

Letting go is a difficult but necessary process we can achieve by giving ourselves the permission, grace and understanding to fully grieve the things we've lost. Once we allow this, can hold a wake I which we can honor, thank, and celebrate. We can build a routine of care and comfort for ourselves, through a meditative, creative or physical practice. It is something we get better at the more consistently we practice. To grieve is to recognize we came with nothing, and will leave with nothing. It is a fundamental part of what it means to be alive. This truth can transform if we allow it. Even grief itself can be grieved and released. This is when we can seek the cup of renewal. When we release the past, we finally feel light enough to soar into the sky. We may find that beyond the fog is a beautiful rainbow.

July 2023 Tarot Forecast

Welcome all to the July tarot forecast for 2023! Below is an energetic reading for the Ahimsa Newsletter group. 

Full Moon: July 3rd

New Moon: July 17th

In the modern Julian and Gregorian calendar, July is the 7th month of the year and named after Julius Caesar. Prior to Caesar, this month was called Quintilis, having once been the 5th month of the year. Numerically speaking, this makes July the month of triumphs and struggles. We will be experiencing an arduous journey in areas of struggle, and a sense of flow in areas of accomplishment. Some parts of ourselves will need time to grow, and others will be ready to soar. In regards to Caesar, though he was most notorious for his dictatorship, the Energy of the Month below points to his divine masculine attributes which will rule over the month. In this aspect, he took a populist and egalitarian approach as a ruler. He was also an accomplished author and historian. Given this, we are asked to consider communal wellbeing in addition to our own, and to pursue multiple disciplines that make our hearts sing.

Energy of the Month: King of Pentacles ~Underground by The Underground Youth~

Tool: Grounding, Manifestation Akashic Reading

Through last month’s struggle–the Five of Pentacles–we suffered a crisis and learned to thrive in the darkness and the difficulty. We found there was nothing to fear in the darkness. All we need lies in the subconscious soil of the psyche. We have seen things fall apart and have lived in the darkest spaces.This awakened us, helped us find ways to survive and to radically transform our lives. We pressed our ears to the earth, and heard Our Song. 

Our wisdom has reappeared from deep within. It gestated in the darkness and is now shining forth in the manifest world, to create the new. Our strength comes from the underground–a powerful rootedness. Our encounters with the loss of loved ones made us feel as though something had died within us, as though mortality was presenting itself at our own door. This has deeply moved and informed us to pursue a meaningful life while we are here and able. We’ve learned a lot from our ancestors, the earth and death. We are alchemizing this wisdom into aligned action and creating life from it. We find we are resourceful and more than capable of making it.

Love: Judgment ~Start of Something by Voxtrot~

*Inspiration for interpretation of this card: Strange Magic episode

Tool: Speech and the written word, Cosmic Self Akashic Reading

This month, we are experiencing a collective awakening and shift in our approach to love. We are entering a new era in Relationship, in which we can answer the Call to be our authentic true selves. Now is the time to get really clear on who we really are, what our true calling is, and to align ourselves with it. This is the time to articulate our wants and needs to a prospective or current partner. For those of us already in relationships, this is the time to renew an existing love and make adjustments in the relationship. Even small adjustments made in this period have the potential to change the trajectory of our lives. Love is a union of polarities which gives rise to a metamorphosis. We are encouraged to leave a past that no longer serves us, in favor of healing and second chances. In contrast, we are asked to reflect on what within us needs to be resurrected? Is there something we loved about love that has been lying dormant or needs to be expressed? Tying back into the energy of the month, we have gained the wisdom of how we truly want to live. Clearing that which no longer serves us, we can resolve to act differently. We can act out of love and kindness and ask for help when needed. When in doubt, consider what the spirit of love and romance would do?

Money: Reverse 3 of Swords ~All Things End by Hozier~

Inspiration for this interpretation: Tarot of the Holy Light, Between the Worlds episode

Tool: Compassion meditations

In June, we learned heavy practical lessons surrounding money, in terms of scarcity mindset, potential sacrifice, feeling lost and isolated, and disentangling ourselves from fear. This month we are being asked to redefine our relationship with money in a way that sets us free from fear, and come to terms with reality. We’ve become aware of our money wound, which means we might not push against opportunities, project, act out, or try to fill a void. We must also look at the unwanted aspects of a money opportunity–what work will we have to do, or burden will we have to take on? 

We are advised that this is not something that can be resolved through the intellect alone. In this space, we want clear cut answers surrounding money that we can resolve readily through a simple yes or no binary, or a “right” way to handle and approach money. This is perhaps because we now have a more realistic understanding of finance that has been tempered by emotional suffering. We feel a burden on our hearts in terms of getting it “right.” We may torment ourselves about not having made all the right choices in investments and expenditures. 

To go beyond a limited mental resolution, we must first check in with ourselves. We must ask ourselves the hard questions about our money values, rather than expecting someone else to tell us what those values are. Remember to practice compassion and not perfectionism. Be patient while learning; wisdom cannot be rushed. This is something that is gained through mistakes, suffering, and doing. It’s okay to do our best and begin again.

Work: 8 of Swords ~Ascend and Try Again by Okay Kaya~

Tool: Breathing exercises, Past Lives/Gifts Akashic Readings

In Work, we may feel stuck in a situation that we do not like, due to a psychological block rather than external circumstances. Not only are we struggling in a feedback loop of self doubt and new information we haven’t processed yet, but we feel the pressure to never show pain in this situation. That we must fake it until we make it. If we feel ourselves unable to breathe, it is important to remember we have the ability to step away from our anxiety, take deep breaths, and try again. We are being tested right now in this area of life, but we have multiple opportunities to get this right. Like a repeated mantra, we must remind ourselves that we have the power, wit, grit, and determination to achieve our desired results. Once we overcome this challenge, we emerge with the ability to intuit what we must do per the deeper mysteries and the call of our subconscious psyches. 

Health: Reverse Queen of Pentacles ~Black Lagoon by Still Corners~

Inspiration for this interpretation: Between the Worlds episode

Tool: Somatic techniques

The Reverse Queen of Pentacles is showing up in our health to remind us of the notion brought forth by John Donne that “No man is an island.” We are interdependent beings, and the people we surround ourselves with matter. Are the people around us supporting the healthiest versions of ourselves, or are they encouraging disordered behaviors? We want to look at our community  and we are able to thrive physically in it. The Queen of Pentacles also advises us not to be overly concerned with what others think of us, with external validation, or how we fit into societal norms. The shadow of this card plays on our insecurities and gets us to go against our better judgments, but we ought to be looking at our actions from all angles and considering the long term consequences. We do not have to prove anything to anyone else in order to gain a sense of belonging. 

What matters most is tuning in with ourselves and honoring our body when it speaks to us. Are we feeding ourselves when we are hungry, resting when we are exhausted, moving when we feel excited, or relaxing when our bodies call for it? When we respond to our bodies’ needs, we find a sustainable path to bodily security, abundance, and rootedness. We must work with the body and health that we have rather than what we wish it could be, and go from there. To achieve this, it is recommended to build a routine and a discipline, though not an overly rigid one. Health is a marathon, not a race. 

Spirit: Reverse Two of Cups ~Unknown/Nth by Hozier~

Tool: Boveda, Cosmic Self Akashic Reading

This month the Reverse Two of Cups calls attention to the places where we feel disconnected from spirit. Where do we feel immense distance, in contrast to our intense desire for closeness with the divine? What wounds in our attachment styles are we projecting onto Spirit? Where do we feel let down, betrayed, punished, or misunderstood by Spirit? How is that leading us to subconsciously pull back? If we do not reflect on and resolve this, we may be tempted to pull away from Spirit in order to protect ourselves. But as fallible human beings, there are many things about the highest good for our futures that we cannot know. Regardless, the higher realm does not take our withdrawal personally and is always there for us, with tender divine loving goodness. We may feel that if all of us were truly understood, we would not be able to be loved–but we are in fact known and loved. Keep in mind as well that we can only love and connect with Spirit as much as we do with ourselves. So if we want to cultivate a deeper relationship at this level, we must first look at our relationship within. Can we show up for ourselves in earnest each day? Can we listen to what that little voice of intuition tells us on a daily basis? What can we offer ourselves each day and how can we commune with ourselves? This is what we need to feel more in tune and in connection with the divine.

July Monthly Forecast 2022

Greetings from Sedona! This spiritual hub and "new age mecca" has become my home very recently and it was exciting to see how living a ten minute walk from an energy vortex really opened up (and sped up) my channeling ability for this monthly forecast. I hope to have more experiences to share with you in the future. In the meantime, I hope the upcoming full moon and month overall prove to be fruitful for you all. Read below for a general reading for what energies to expect in July 2022.

Energy of the Month:Reverse 4 of cups ~More Than This (Roxy Music)~

The pursuit of new chapters gives rise to some destabilization, unsteadiness, and a need to find footing again. With every new endeavor we leave that which was familiar and well understood, and we tread to a place that was beyond our comfort zone. Without which, how could we ever explore new horizons?

            Nevertheless, what was once an abstract ideal from afar has now become a reality to contend with. This can put us in a place of doubt, uncertainty, and a feeling of lack of emotional grounding. It is especially important now more than ever to reach out to your support network, who will remind you of all your past accomplishments and the trials you’ve overcome, so that you can put this sense of destabilization into a higher perspective. This is the first stage of integrating your new reality, and there will be some unsteady footing before you regain confidence through immersion and gaining deeper understanding of what you manifested and put intentions towards in June. 

Love: 8 of cups ~Love is all you need (Beatles)~

Though there may be emotional and intuitive uncertainty within, remember that you have an infinite wealth of love to tap into in the form of your support network. Our mind can often trick us into thinking that we are having an isolated experience, that we alone are not measuring up somehow. In reality, we are part of a multiplicity and we are all in this together. Cosmically, the network around you is keeping you well balanced as you dive into this new cycle. When you are stuck in a loop of your own thoughts, go out and interact, dance, and rejoice with your community when you seek rejuvenation and need to fill your cup. You have nourished this “garden” network and can feel joy, pride, and accomplishment here. 

Money: Reverse 4 of Pentacles ~You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Rolling Stones)~

            Tight finances as a result of new pursuits are likely a part of the emotional instability felt in our overall energy for the month. We find ourselves wondering - Was the price worth it? Did I unsettle and unground my sense of financial well being too much in favor of the new influx? If we get sucked into this spiral of thinking we can find ourselves feeling a depletion of hope, faith and courage. We may feel that we didn’t appreciate our previous state of being (even if it was imperfect), and that we shouldn’t have left that safe point of existence. 

At least from an emotional/validation standpoint, you will be able to “get by with a little help from your friends.” You will need to be replenished financially, fortunately work will help replenish this area of life and take care of your basic necessities. “You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you find, you get what you need.” 

Work: Temperance ~Stay High (Brittany Howard)~

            For those of us who feel a calling to pursue spiritual work or works of service towards others, this month is the opportune month to put that into action. Where we find imbalance in areas of life, we can find it in work- the Universe is working to bring balance in your career in both the practical, material and active needs with emotional, spiritual, and inner journey needs. Alchemy and integration can be found in work this month, and we find grounding in the pursuit of enlightenment (flowing from head to foot) and honoring our soul. These energies that we normally think of as dualistic and in opposition flow between each other and inform and strengthen the other. Be open to a higher calling.

Health: Reverse Magician ~Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (Kate Bush)~

            The energy of this month can lead to us feeling overwhelmed–like we are dividing ourselves between trying to succeed in all the elements of life at once. When we try to do it all we end up dropping the ball. When this happens we can judge ourselves too harshly and feel like we are not measuring up. It is better to slow down and focus on one thing at a time, keeping in mind our passions and what we are fighting for at the forefront. We tend to feel alone, unsupported and ungrounded when we get buried under the “to do list.” If we take it too far we can even physically manifest this as a fever, headaches, recurring nightmares, dissociation, and a sense that everything has been turned on its head. We will need to take a step back and reach out to others to support you (listening to your favorite music will also help). Rather than comparing where we are to the end result, we must be kind to ourselves when taking the steps to get there. 

            We may feel constrained, isolated, and removed for others. We may be seeking a psychic connection to others. We may get stuck in past failures that keep us from drawing on the present and on our more newly learned resources. If we can face our past and come to terms with ourselves and our past mistakes, we can regain our power.

Spirit: Priestess ~Claire de Lune (Debussy)~

            This is a good month to channel your inner priestess- whether this is through intuitive, Akashic, and/or academic learning, as directed by your inner curiosity. Your spirit this month finds nourishment and validation through gaining a deeper understanding of your choices and your surroundings. You’ll be able to determine your actions wisely once this understanding is gained and you’ll have a clear vision (locking into the higher, deeper, inner truth). You will gain the most this month from reading, learning, studying spiritually, and recording  and analyzing dreams. This will help balance out any unease or feeling like a struggling apprentice that we experience in other areas of life. Learning leads to success.

Thanks!
