Monthly Astro-Forecasts July 2017

Message for July 2017

As the great big washing machine of life continues to spin, rinse, hum, whir and jiggy across the floor, there is a great deal of bewilderment, bemusement, perplexity and disorientation as we each try to make sense of the shifts and find a moment to take a breath. Yet, the storms of life continue to roll in, one after another, and it can be hard not to feel an overwhelming and profound sense of confusion. As the thunder cracks and the skies darken, the pressure of life’s challenges can feel heavy and insurmountable as there seems little respite and no opportunity to find even a brief moment of tranquillity. It’s easy to feel trapped and hemmed in by the storms as there are no clear skies visible on the horizon and a lingering air of greyness fills the soul as though all the colour has been sucked out of the room.

It’s easy to become consumed by this as the human spirit can only deal with so much before it becomes saturated and lifeless as the shutters fall in an attempt to cope. Trying to make sense of the confusion often only brings more questions to the surface as the answers seem conspicuous only by their absence, yet the urge to push and fight to reach a point of clarity and understanding rarely seems to abate and it can take on the force and power of yet another storm battering away at the shorelines of the soul. As a result, the focus shifts towards seeking out wisdom as to why things are the way they are and away from where we are in the moment. Perhaps there is no answer to this question; storms come and storms go, it’s the way of things. Maybe it’s our need to understand and make sense of things that ultimately leads to more pain as we try to seek out answers where there aren’t any?

I know I’m not alone in feeling like this but the storms in my own life have felt increasingly gnarly and tumultuous over recent weeks and months. I have felt like a little boat in stormy seas being thrown around by the waves, yet, once the storm passes, I often feel refreshed and re-invigorated, restored and renewed before the next storms begins. So, whilst it’s undoubtedly exhausting, there is also an underlying awareness of positive shift. Yet, this can be hard to capture or hold, so we can end up feeling lost in the storms without a guide, companion or compass.

It’s then no wonder waves of isolation and desolation can surface as there’s often no breathing space or room to manoeuvre as the currents keep pulling us along and under. We can feel trapped and unable to escape but if we keep our focus on this, we sink under the pressure. However, if we begin to find ways of accepting the moment rather than trying to fix it or escape from it, we begin to shift and find a new level of equilibrium. This won’t change things but it can change how we deal with the situations we find ourselves in.

Rather than focusing on the intensity of the storms and trying to fight, resist or overcome them, maybe we need to rest in the moment on the wing of the eagle (our consciousness) hovering above and just be there? Maybe we need to experience the pain of the storms in order to grow, evolve and flourish? Perhaps it’s the storms themselves that carry the wisdom rather than our desire to outflank or outmanoeuvre them? Rather than holding our focus on where we want to be or on where we feel we need to be, maybe we can just be?

There is a powerful and profound shift occurring now deep within our hearts and souls, calling out to each and every one of us to have the courage to let go of fear, to carry on and to support one another. Storms come and go, the great big washing machine spins, rinses and shakes, but it’s our willingness to carry on which is perhaps our biggest gift. Although there are undoubtedly more storms to come, as our courage grows and our awareness expands, new waves of unity, compassion, acceptance and whole-heartedness thrive…

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

As the winds of change continue to gather force and momentum in your life, there is a growing sense of anticipation rising up from deep within you as you begin to taste the inklings of real shift. You have been standing at a crossroads for quite some time, contemplating which path to follow and why, wondering if you should wait for a sign to step forward or trusting you will be guided when the time is right. Although you have some clear goals and ambitions, you are also quite happy to go with the flow of others in your life in order not to upset the apple cart. This has undoubtedly facilitated an easier life when it comes to keeping the peace but there is a sense it has left you feeling somewhat frustrated as, in your heart and soul, you are not really a natural at balancing apples. Intuitively you would prefer to up-end the apple cart and allow the apples to tumble in all directions as you can’t see the point of neatly stacked apples when you can eat them, bake them, juice them or make cider with them.

In other words, you have reached a stage of your life when you are no longer content to sit within the four walls of your everyday life, with your focus on keeping on keeping on, you are now ready to reach into unknown terrain in order to create a more enriched and fulfilling world. Whilst there is nothing wrong with polishing a stack of rosy red apples, sometimes you know there’s more to life as it’s hard work constantly trying to maintain the status quo. Change happens whether you want it to or not, and you do seem to want it, so why not embrace it and see where it takes you…

Taurus

Deep within the core of your being resides a slightly dusty, but pristinely preserved, piece of twinkly essence. This essence is your true self, that part of you that transcends time and space, bringing your gifts to life and inspiring you to live the best life possible. It’s dusty because you don’t often let it shine brightly as it can feel a tad onerous at times as it can conflict with your everyday focus of keeping on keeping on. Dreams and aspirations do that, they keep smiling and waving at you, reminding you of their presence in the hope you will one day manifest them into reality. Of course, it’s not that you don’t want to make your dreams come true, it’s just that life has had a habit of taking away prime opportunities for you to focus on them and you end up spending most of your time on the business of getting from A to B. Undoubtedly there is little magic in keeping on keeping on but it pays the bills, keeps food in your tummy and helps you get from where you are to where you want to go.

Yet, here’s the rub, how can you truly know where you want to go if you don’t allow your sparkly essence the room to dance and shimmy across the dance floor of life? Surely, getting from A to B just becomes a habit when you don’t allow your aspirations to flow freely? What does ‘B’ mean to you, is it a destination or is it the place where you live the life you were born to live? At the end of the day, only you can answer this question but it’s an important one to ponder as it seems time to dust off your twinkly essence in order to let it sparkle once again…

Gemini

‘Space: the final frontier.’ Or, so Star Trek would have you believe. Is space the cosmos, all we see in the starry skies and beyond? Or is space more far reaching than this and entering mind-bending ideas of what lies beyond the universe? It’s easy to look upwards and outwards when we think of space, but perhaps the most important space is the space within your heart and soul? You have spent a great deal of time contemplating the meaning of life and trying to make sense of why things are the way they are. You have tried to shine a light into the dark nooks and crannies of your soul in an attempt to cleanse your pain and find the truth of your existence. You have ‘boldly gone where no one has gone before’ when it comes to trying to find answers to your many questions. Yet, despite your quest for truth, there is a sense that you have sought out context and reference from your own pain and rationalised this with the actions, thoughts and beliefs of others.

Your enthusiasm to explore the final frontier of your own heart and soul has not been quite so high on your agenda as diving deeply into the unknown within leaves you feeling slightly disconcerted and discombobulated. The reason for this seems to be connected to a desire to answer life’s questions and it somehow seems easier to try to explore the far reaches of space for such answers than it does to go within yourself. This isn’t to say you are avoiding your inner space but you seem reluctant to dive in and become one with your true essence. You are vibrant, passionate and compassionate, don’t fear your depths, love them and believe in yourself to cross into the final frontier of your heart and soul…

Cancer

July looks set to be a month of creative thought and inspired ingenuity as you begin to look at your life from a fresh, new perspective. For a long time now you have held a fairly narrow focus, trying to get from where you are to, well, where you are. You haven’t really had a clear destination or goal as you have been so focused on trying to keep on keeping on. As a result, you have been treading water more than you have been moving forward and, despite using a phenomenal amount of energy to achieve this, you understandably feel frustrated that you don’t seem to be getting anywhere. However, before you berate yourself for not doing more, achieving more or being more, try to realise that, as a species, we are designed to focus on survival so your tendency to lower your head and push forwards is perfectly understandably as it’s a perfectly human thing to do.

Yet, intuitively you know there’s more to life than this, you know treading water takes up just as much, if not more, energy than striding forth into unknown terrain, and your heart and soul longs for this: an opportunity to lift up your head and take a big, deep breath of life. Surviving is one thing, but thriving and blossoming is quite another. You have worked hard and pushed ahead even when the going has been tough but you no longer seem satisfied to simply go with the flow of the tunes everyone else plays as you are ready to find your own unique musical masterpiece now. Your tune may be different, it may sound out of tune to others and it may involve you doing a bit of dad-dancing but it doesn’t matter as it’s your willingness to let you be you that’s important now…

Leo

There are things you know and there are things you don’t know. There are also things you know you don’t know as well as things you don’t know you know. Of course, there are also things you don’t know you don’t know, in fact, due to the infinite nature of the universe it seems likely that there are more things you don’t know you don’t know than anything else. Most of the time you accept this, sometimes you learn by making mistakes and other times you use your wisdom to side step a dead-end street. However, as much as you would like to have the head start, there are times when you simply have to dive in as you just don’t know what the likely outcome is going to be. This isn’t to say you shouldn’t be cautious or sensible, but when you find yourself standing on a precipice between where you are and where you think you want to be, do you hold back in case it’s not the right time or do you trust your instincts and go for it?

Your tenacity, courage and determination hold you in good stead as they enable you to think quickly and navigate unfamiliar terrain. You have the skillset to be a pioneer but it’s easy to slip into a somewhat easier (but infinitely less rewarding) life of keeping on keeping on; never really lifting your head above the parapet and not trying to expand your horizons by discovering more of what you don’t know. Sticking with the familiar is inherently human but you are not a sheep, following the flock, you are lion. It’s time to reconnect to your passion and roar as you stop thinking about what you don’t know, do know or want to know and instead start to live, breathe and thrive in each and every moment…

Virgo

However busy your life gets it’s important to find moments to pause and take a big, deep breath. Whilst this won’t fix anything, it will help you to re-centre and re-focus.  You are a very practical, determined and focused soul but you can easily get caught up in the swirling currents of life if you forget to remain grounded and centred. You know this of course but it’s easy to forget when life distracts you and grabs your attention and energy, and, despite your well-earthed nature, you can easily become disorientated if you’re not careful. There are times when getting lost is a rather wonderful thing as you discover new pathways and explore new terrain but there are also times when meandering through fields and meadows holds you up and frustrates you. It can sometimes be hard to discern when to stop meandering or when to start as you have greatly enriched your life through new spontaneous discoveries but it’s important not to over-think this and to trust your intuition to lead the way; if you start to plan a meandering then it no longer becomes meandering as you’ve plotted the course!

Why not take a big, deep breath and let your intuition guide you; you have covered a lot of new ground recently and taking some time to process and digest this could be helpful as it will give you a little bit of space to think about what you truly want from life. You don’t often ask yourself what you truly want as you’re usually so busy with the business of living but it’s important to listen to your heart and soul in order to acknowledge the need for you to thrive, blossom and evolve on every level of your being. Let go a little and enjoy the ride…

Libra

The concept of finding out ‘what you are not’ looks set to continue in earnest throughout July as you discover a great deal about your tendencies to people please and aspire to many ‘ought’s’ in your life. You have spent a lot of time trying to be the person you’ve thought you ought to be and you have also invested a lot of time and energy trying to live up to the perceived expectations of others. In fact, you have spent so much time trying to get life ‘right’ you have lost sight of your own inner light as it twinkles and sparkles from deep within. It’s easy to become constrained by ‘ought’s’ as the world is full of them, yet no two people are alike so how can we all conform to the same narrow pool of expectation? The process of discovering ‘what you are not’ may sound slightly strange as it appears to take the focus away from all that you are but it’s important to peel back the layers upon layers of expectations and ‘ought’s’ in order to get back to your twinkly, sparkly self.

In many ways, it is only by moving beyond the ‘ought’s’ and discovering ‘what you are not’ that ultimately allows you to know yourself wholeheartedly, this is because your probing, ever-questioning mind never lets up pushing the boundaries of your life. Your head is filled with aspirations and ideas to do a million things and to try an ever-increasing bucket list of experiences; this won’t ever change but what can is a willingness to let your inner light sparkle and lead the way towards living the life you were born to live. One thing is for sure: you are not an ‘ought’s’ kind of person and never will be, so just be yourself and love yourself for it…

Scorpio

As you continue to step beyond the boundaries of the four walls of your everyday life there is a growing sense you are beginning to see a powerful shift in your perspective. You have, for a long time, tried to be the version of you that glides through life with the least resistance or friction. It’s not that you want an easy life but, in truth, you want an easy life. Who wouldn’t? Resistance suggests challenge or pain, and it suggests moving against the currents. Whilst you are a fluid soul it is hard for you to submit to the concept of an ‘easy life’ as it’s really not in your nature to glide. Of course, you do not seek out challenge but you do thrive when placed in situations that see you rise up and flourish. Gliding is fine for a while but it doesn’t sustain you as you find tedium in the predictability and frustration with the lack of personal growth.

You are clearly a complex individual because you do not want ‘easy’, you want your boundaries to be constantly pushed and you thrive in unchartered terrain. The challenge comes because you feel you ought to want an easy life and feel you are somehow undermining yourself when you move against the currents yet if this is where you truly thrive and blossom then why would you deny yourself? It seems there is an archetypal perception of what you think life should be like and how you think you should act but this is contrary to your own beliefs. Intuitively you know the only way to thrive is to be true to yourself so why try to be any different? Listen to your inner wisdom and enjoy the journey however you choose to travel…

Sagittarius

What do you truly want? What do you, wholeheartedly, genuinely, truly want? There are a million things you feel you should want or ought to want but, when it boils down to it, what do you really, really want? Without wanting to trigger the Spice Girls going around your head (too late, sorry), this is an incredibly important question for you to answer over the weeks ahead. You are a great visionary in life, full of passion, and your determination to live life well is incredible. Yet, it can be hard to achieve the life of your dreams when you’re not quite sure what that actually means. You have been chasing ‘the dream’ for so long you’ve got a bit tied up in the details and you seem to have lost sight of the bigger picture. ‘What do you want?’ may sound like a simple question but it isn’t as you haven’t really considered the answer; you’ve been so focused on getting from over here to over ‘there’ (there being the Utopian land where life is perfect, happy and rosy), but you’ve never really had a clear-cut game plan of what this involves. Therefore, knowing the answer to this question is rather pivotal as until you know how can you move forward? How can you live the dream when you don’t know what it is?

So, without further ado, what do you want? What makes your heart sing? What makes you all warm and tingly within? July looks set to be a time for you to re-connect to your true essence in order to cut through the distractions of everyday life enabling you to see with more clarity than ever before. This is an exciting opportunity to step beyond the treadmill of the everyday in order to reconnect to your heart and soul…

Capricorn

As you continue to contemplate the many unanswered questions in your life there is a sense you are beginning to let go of many layers of frustration when it comes to not finding the answers. No matter how hard you can try, some questions cannot be answered; it’s a frustrating part of being human that we exist in an inherently unknowable and unpredictable world. It’s only human to want to understand and make sense of why things are the way they are but when you realise this just isn’t possible you can begin to move beyond the frustration and learn how to thrive despite this. In many ways, this is not about the unanswered questions, it’s about your willingness to live more fully in the present and to be somewhat less cautious when it comes to living your life. This isn’t about throwing caution to the wind in carefree abandon, it’s about accepting you cannot always have a ‘cost, benefit analysis’ with guaranteed returns as life doesn’t work that way.

You could sit and wait for the perfect moment, hoping for that point in time when suddenly all the planets align and everything makes sense. A moment where you know exactly what to do, when and what the outcomes will be, but this is likely to make for a very long wait. It’s understandable you are cautious though as life has come and bit you on the behind on more than one occasion but is this a reason to sit on the periphery? Surely, it’s more reason to dive right back into life in order to make the most of every single moment? It’s time to let go of the frustration and open up to living the best possible life in the here and now…

Aquarius

As you continue to open up your eyes to the rich diversity and depth of colour in the world you are beginning to sense a new level of awareness rising up from deep within you. It’s as though you are moving beyond the black and white hues of the humdrum, mundane everyday world, and opening up to a new dimension of potential, possibility and opportunity. You, more than most, appreciate the concept that opportunities are created when you create the possibility for them to be created; you understand the complex dynamic between being open to change and how this can shape and define your path ahead. Ultimately it is your own perception that gives definition to your experiences and so, when you start to see colours and textures, this is a sign that you are opening up your heart and soul towards living in a more engaged and connected way.

In many ways, this changes nothing, but, at the same time, it changes everything because you step beyond the humdrum and into a world where you no longer feel stuck within the boundaries of the black and white. Living in a vibrant spectrum of colour allows for your true nature to blossom and evolve, encouraging you to re-connect to your goals and dreams; life is for living and you seem ready now to break free from the beliefs and ideals that have structured and shaped your life for so long. July looks set to be a month for adjusting to your brand-new world; every sight, sound, smell and thought seems clearer now and this will take a while to acclimatise to. Although this has been a gradual process of change, the pace has picked up over recent months as you approach a crossroads where you have some important decisions to make about what happens next…

Pisces

There are days when you feel as though you are gliding along, resting of the helm of the mighty and majestic clipper ship of your life. There are also days when you feel as though you are a piece of driftwood being carried along by the currents. On the surface, both actually seem quite pleasing to you as you are such a fluid soul. However, it’s important not to forget the times in between these extremes when you can feel like a dingy in stormy seas or a little rubber ducky thrown into the sea and going around and around, stuck in the ocean currents. Of course, there are yet more times when you dive through the waves like a dolphin or the times when you can just float in calm waters, restoring your sense of self. All of these represent different states of your being; different moments in life.

Obviously, life is constantly changing for everyone; yet, despite the water theme in the above, and knowing you are a Pisces, there does seem to be a reluctance for you to accept the role of water in your life. This isn’t literal, it’s metaphorical and spiritual; water is your soul, it’s your life blood. You are most at home in the creative world of the imagination and emotions, yet you can find it hard to dive deeply into this as you frequently feel that this is a luxury not a necessity. You then end up so focused on ‘the necessary’ (the everyday world of keeping on keeping on), you forget the vast pool of potential and possibility all around, and within, you. Don’t limit yourself by believing you are anything other than who you truly are; embrace your true essence and let this lead the way as you set sail for pastures new…

 

Time To Heal – July 2017 Energy Forecast

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

Time To Heal – July 2017 Energy Forecast

Hi My Friend,

It’s such an honor for me to connect with you in this way. Thank you for choosing to consciously align with a path of love and expansion, and for allowing your heart to be open.

There are many new changes happening right now, so let’s get right to them!

Expressing Ourselves

The first few weeks of July are all about coming out of our energetic shell. There will be a strong desire to step out of our regular routine, to try something different.

If we have a naturally outgoing personally, this will only be enhanced. If we tend to be a bit more shy and introverted, these next few weeks will open up something within us, giving us the opportunity to let go of much of the armor we’ve built around ourselves.

This armor had the purpose of protecting us in the old paradigm. However, it is no longer needed, because our mind is expanding to a point where it fully understands that our Spirit is and has always been taking care of us, every step of the way.

That armor can be set aside now.

Being Seen

We came into this world to been seen.

Being seen starts with consciously choosing to “see” ourselves first.

If we are not seeing ourselves fully for the magnificence that we are, we will keep searching outside of ourselves for approval, love, and acceptance.

Doing this will keep us in “chase” mode, where we are constantly seeking something, and never feeling truly happy and fulfilled.

When I mentioned that we came into this world to be seen, did that feel true for you? Or did you feel some resistance come up?

If you felt resistance, know that that is absolutely normal. Often, the reason we are resistant to anything that helps us make ourselves a priority, or that allows us to shine brightly, is that we have conditioned ourselves to believe the opposite is preferable.

Most of us taught ourselves early on to “blend in” with the majority of society.

We made up our mind that it was not safe or OK for us to fully be ourselves. And when we were being ourselves,

we seemed to get punished for it, because the world didn’t seem ready for what we had to offer.

Of course, we know that this is not what was really happening, when we look at it from an expanded perspective. But to the mind, these experiences were very important, and shaped how we started showing up in the world.

The way to move beyond the need to identify with the old patterns of remaining “safely invisible” is to understand that it was never about anyone else seeing us.

It was us about seeing ourselves.

Every experience we have ever had brought us the gift of this awareness. The awareness of seeing, loving, and honoring ourselves fully.

During the first half of July, we may find ourselves desiring to connect and communicate with others more. This might happen face to face, over the phone, online, or in some other way.

However it shows up, it’s important to honor that moment by not holding in whatever we truly desire to say.

We may also find ourselves trying new things. It could be anything from trying a new class or hobby to getting a completely new hairstyle, and everything in between.

Whatever presents itself to us, as long as it feels positive and exciting … now is the time to try it!

Expressing our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and heart in the early parts of July will set the foundation for the second part of July, which is all about taking action, especially with the things we are most passionate about creating and experiencing.

A Time to Heal

During the past few weeks and continuing well into July, many of us will notice and experience big changes, especially when it comes to our healing journey.

The paradigm we have expanded into now is allowing for quick changes in healing to happen in our physical, emotional, mental, and financial bodies.

Healing used to be more about “doing,” which required more of an “effort” energy. Now it is more about simply “being,” where we operate from a space of allowance.

When we allow things to unfold as they are naturally meant to—when we move out of the way—the healing occurs on its own.

Those who serve as a holistic/wellness practitioner or spiritual teacher, and those who are in the creative arts, may have noticed their gifts have evolved quickly over the past few months.

It takes a certain kind of practice to reach a state of pure allowance, where we no longer exert as much energy as we may have in the past, especially when it comes to reaching a desired outcome.

One of the main reasons for this, is that the need for or attachment to reaching a particular outcome is itself actually falling away. That opens us up to even greater outcomes the mind may not have consciously thought of yet.

This is where that saying, “Let go and let God/the Universe take care of everything” finally begins to make a lot of sense.

When we operate from this space of complete nonattachment, we become witness to instantaneous physical, emotional, mental, and financial healing, within ourselves, others, and the world around us.

If you feel you have not been able to receive or notice the healings taking place within and around you, now is your opportunity to be willing to let go of your expectations for specific outcomes.

Those expectations may be holding you back from experiencing the ultimate, much higher reality available to you.

One of my favorite morning intentions is to affirm: “I choose to let go, and let love.”

This reminds me that whatever burdens and attachments I’m still carrying, I can lovingly hand them over to my Higher Self / Spirit Self so that I can make space for new blessings to enter my life.

The attachments the mind often creates to keep it operating in the “doing” energy actually serve as fillers or placeholders in our inner vision that prevent us from noticing and being open to new, unexpected blessings in our lives.

As simple as the intention “I choose to let go and let love” may sound, to the mind it can present a real struggle.

This is because when the mind tries to let go of something it thinks it still needs, it fears that it’s losing something important.

In reality, by letting go of what no longer serves our highest good, such as attachments to specific outcomes that keep the mind in fear, worry, lack, judgment, etc., we’re not losing anything.

Instead, we are gaining everything.

How? The mind may ask.

When we let go, we are letting go of the illusion. We can also call it “the chase.”

The illusion or “the chase” is simply another way of saying “expecting a limited reality.”

So when we let go of our belief in the limitations around a reality, what happens?

We step into a reality of Infinite Possibilities. expanding into our greatest potential, and no longer keeping ourselves small.

We are then opening up to Life in the fullest sense.

Ending the Chase

Society has taught us to look outside of ourselves for anything we want to create and experience.

This conditioning has created the illusion known as “the chase.”

This occurs when the mind has decided that it has to pursue and attain something, exerting lots of energy and time and moving through challenges, in order for it to get what it thinks it really wants.

Doesn’t that sound exhausting? Yet we all know this process very well, don’t we?

Choosing to live in chase mode does at times satisfy the left brain, which is all about order, structure, and organization. It satisfies that part of the mind, because it feeds its ability to operate in linear time, which is where mental structure and survival patterns thrive.

It’s important to honor the structured aspect of ourselves.

Yet if we are always operating from this space, especially when it comes to living the life we truly desire, it creates many limitations, and exhausts us on all levels.

The key to attracting well-being, joy, abundance, and all of the fun blessings life has to offer, is to recognize that the world around us is a direct result of the internal awareness, thoughts, and actions we are choosing daily.

It’s about understanding that we are the magnet that is bringing to us all of the experiences we are having.

So with this awareness that we are the magnet, and not our actions, we can then pay attention to whether we are creating from a space of being in the illusion/the chase, or creating from a space of being fully aware.

We attract to us everything we are experiencing as a result of what we project out into the world.

So if our desire is to receive more love, we can then become love. If our desire is to become more financially wealthy, then we can share and give from a place of joy and nonattachment.

The big difference here is that one reality exerts a lot of energy through forcing things to happen, while the other allows us to simply attract and bring in the things we desire with ease and grace.

If we are ready to heal, we are being given the opportunity to do so now, in a very real and lasting way. If we are not fully willing and ready to heal, that’s OK too … there will be more opportunities to do so in the future.

Everyone is exactly where they are meant to be on their journey.

If you are being called to learn and enhance your natural healing and/or creative gifts, trust your inner guidance. You might choose to enrich your gifts by taking a class or a workshop that resonates with you, or to read a book that feels empowering.

Receiving support from a compassionate wellness or spiritual practitioner would be another way to contribute to your healing. Being a practitioner myself, I find that it can be easy for me to forget to ask for support.

In fact, asking for support used to be quite challenging for me. But once I decided to move out of my comfort zone and ask for help, many doors that were once closed opened up for me. I even became a better practitioner as a result.

Finding an opportunity to give back and to be of service to humanity is also something that will greatly support our own expansion and healing. This allows the mind to move out of the pattern of being self-involved, and redirects its awareness to the betterment of all humanity.

The Universe LOVES acts of service that come from a place of our simply wanting to experience the joy of helping others.

Taking Inspired Action

As mentioned earlier in the forecast, during the second half of July, beginning around July 17, we will experience a newfound confidence that will help us take inspired action when it comes to creating and aligning with the things we are most passionate about.

Inspired action is about taking action from a place of complete flow and awareness. It is not forced. It doesn’t require a lot of effort.

A big part of taking inspired action is about allowing ourselves to be seen. Rather than staying home most of the time, this will be the time to get out of the house and have some fun.

With this kind of “being out and about,” all that is required of us is simply to be ourselves.

Everything else will take care of itself, as long as we are present and in the moment, and noticing the opportunities as they come in.

For those of us who are ready to expand and heal, the temperature is perfect for all of that to happen now.

As always, it’s such a gift for me to get to share with you in this way. If you enjoyed or benefited from reading this forecast, please pass it on to someone you love and care about.

Remember These Things

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

Remember These Things

 

⦁ A Witch knows the nature and ways of her time.

⦁ A Witch knows what she knows, and should make no other claims.

⦁ A Witch seeks to harm none, but faced with the necessary choice between two ills, she will seek the lesser.

⦁ A Witch places wisdom first in life rather than love, for love without wisdom is hurtfull, but always temper wisdom with love.

⦁ A Witch knows to seek not more than she needs and she shall ever have enough and even abound.

⦁ A Witch seeks to know two things, and these are: what she is, and what deity is, and if she comes to know the anser to either of these, she will know the other.

⦁ A Witch turns no one away seeking the ancient knowledge.

⦁ A Witch knows that she is one with all things and all things are one with her.

⦁ A Witch strives to overcome fear, of man, death, and other entities/things.

⦁ A Witch knows that all things work best when they are positive to all concerned. She also realizes the duality, for the negarive is also part of the oneness. So seek balance – not stasis. You cannot build upon that which you refuse to recognize.

⦁ A Witch knows that there is an element of laughter in all things, no matter how negative they seem. Seek this out, for it is your protection against deviation of mind and will. It can neutralize and make clear the answer you need.

The Witches Spell for Thursday, July 6th – The Needle of Protection

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

The Royal Land ~ GP2The Needle of Protection

 

On Friday after midday, buy a sewing needle, a reel of white thread and white salt. Having made all these purchases and going home, don’t greet and don’t talk with anybody. You should keep full silence until finish all magical work! Having come back home, fill a glass on half with cold water, add to water three spoons of salt and cut off from the reel about yard of the white thread. Put this thread into the glass with salty water and make the three sign of the cross over it. When the thread has become wet, get it from water and to thread the needle. Tie together the ends of the thread with a triple knot. Take the needle in the right hand, touch a jamb of a front door with the needlepoint and move it so along all length of the jamb.

Start this movement on a side of the top door hinge. If the hinge at the left side of the door, move from left to right, then downward, from right to left and upward to the same hinge. If the hinge at the right side of the door, move the needle downward, from right to left, then upward and from left to right. All time the needlepoint touches the hinge with light press. Having finished this action, stick the needle in the top corner of the doorjamb above the hinge, and say:

The needle as a steel lance,
Stab up all enemies and foes, Ward off all disasters.

Thus you receive “lightning conductor” for neutralization of directed on you and on your home negative energy. This protection works approximately one year, after the expiration of it, you must replace the needle and the thread. Uttering the protective incantation, cautiously remove the needle from the jamb:

Black to black, white to white,
Dead to dead, and alive to alive.

At once after that, go to a lonely place, and bury the needle with the thread in a ground. If you suspect that on you and on your family are constantly directed various nocuous influences, replace the needle more often — once a month or once a week. But in all case do it on Friday evening.

Let’s Talk Witch – The Creation Story

Let’s Talk Witch – The Creation Story

 

Long, long ago, the world slept in the arms of a dark void. From this place of nothingness, Spirit drew together and created Our Lady of Infinite Love. She danced among the heavens Her feet beating out the rhythm of all creation. Sparks of light flew from her hair, giving birth to the stars and planets. As She twirled, these heavenly bodies moved with Her in the divine symphony of the Universe. When Her dancing quickened, She formed the seas and mountains. She chanted words of love and joy, as these sounds fell to Earth the flowers and trees were born. From the pure, white light of Her breath came the colours of the universe, turning all things to vibrant beauty. From Her bubbling laughter came the sounds of the pristine running water of the streams, the gentle lapping waters of the lakes, and the roaring screams of the oceans. Her tears of joy became rains of survival.

When Her dancing slowed and She sought a companion with whom to share the wonders of the world, Spirit created The Lord as Her lifemate and companion. Because The Lady so loved the Earth, Spirit made Her companion half spirit, half animal so that together the Lord and Lady could populate the Earth. The Lord’s power moves through her and She showers the Earth and all upon it with Her blessings. Together the Lord and Lady gave birth to all the birds, animals, fishes, and people of our world. To protect and guide the humans, the Lord and Lady created the power spirits. These energies walk with us always, though we often cannot see them. Their speech creates positive energy, from which we draw strength. To each bird the Lady gave a magic song, and to each animal the Lord bestowed instincts to survive. The Lord is the master of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and therefore wears the antlers of a stag upon His great head. This half-man, half-animal aspect shows His great joy in both the human and animal creations of the Spirit.

As the humans began to grow and prosper, the Lord and Lady saw the need for healers among them. And so they drew forth energy from the realm of angels and from the realm of power animals and from the human realm to create the Witches. The Witches brought with them the wisdom of the Lord and Lady, the ability to heal, and the art of magic. The Lady taught the Witches how to cast a magic circle and talk to the Spirit, the Lord taught them how to communicate with the energies of water, fire, air and earth and commune with the animal and plant kingdoms.

At first, the humans accepted the Witches and treated them fairly; but because the Witches were different, humans began to fear the Wise Ones of the Lord and Lady, thus the Witches became the Hidden Children, conducting their rites of positive energy in secret lest they risk capture and death at the hands of uneducated humans.

As the world grew darker with ignorance and hate of human creation, the Lady took the body of the Moon to represent the gentle light of Her perfect peace, and the Lord took the vibrant rays of the Sun as His symbol of strength in perfect love. And once a month, when the Moon is full, the Witches celebrate and remember the blessings our Mother has bestowed upon us. We call forth Her energy to help us take care of ourselves, our families, our planet, and our friends. Four times a year the Witches celebrate the festivals of fire and honour the Lord and His love for us – these are called the cross-quarters. At the four quarters of the seasons, the Witches honour the cycle of life and the gifts of the Earth with festivals to both the Lord and Lady-signifying the balance they have brought us- the Equinoxes and Solstices.

The Lady has many names- Isis, Astarte, Bride, Diana, Aradia, Hecate- and the Lady walks within and beside each woman. The Lord has many faces, from the strong Cernunnos to the delightful Pan. He guards and guides us and resides within and beside each man. When thunder roars in the heavens, and lightning crack from the ground, the Lord and Lady dance the divine myth of creation so that we may remember them and know that we are never alone. When the Sun rises each morning, we bask in the joy of His love for us, and when the Moon moves through her phases, we understand the cycle of birth, growth, death and rebirth.

When it is our time, the Witches enter the Summerland, From the Spirit that moves and flows through the Lord and Lady we continue to learn the mysticism of the Universe so that we may return, life after life, to serve our brothers and sisters. In each lifetime, Spirit guides us through learning experiences, preparing us along the way for our individual missions. Sometimes we are born among our own kind, and in other instances we must seek out our spiritual family. Many of us do not remember our chosen path until we reach adulthood, but others know instinctively of their heritage from the time they form their own thoughts.

We are the Witches, the representation of the growth of wisdom on our planet. We are the Hidden Children, back from the dead. We are the people, the power, the change, and we have incarnated in every race and culture and continue to do so. We are the divine angels of Earth.

So mote it be

Try a small prayer to Jupiter before commencing any ritual on Thursday as a sign of respect. This is the proper day of the week to perform spells and rituals involving luck, happiness, health, legal matters, male fertility, treasure, wealth, honour, riches, clothing, money, desires, business, group pursuits, joy, laughter, and expansion

Blessed Be

Thursday’s Witchery

 

Today is the day for prosperity work of all kinds. It can also be used for healing work, whether that is a physical healing of an illness or an emotional healing. Also remember that you have to follow up your healing work and prosperity magick and physical action.

I can’t tell you the number of times I have met new witches who complain to me that their prosperity spell or “I need a better job” spell did not work as they expected. They’ll ramble on and on about how much time and money they spent working their magick….but, alas, they had no glorious manifestation of wealth or fabulous job that suddenly dropped out of the sky and landed in their laps.

Then, when I gently ask them, “Did you enchant your resume or application when you filled it out? Did you do a little confidence-boosting spellwork when you went to apply for the job or went to the interview?” typically they give me a blank, confused stare.

Nine times out of ten, their response is, “You mean I have to go out and actually look for the job too?” Um, yes, my dear, you certainly do. Magick follows the path of least resistance, which means it’s going to manifest along the simplest, quickest route. Get out there and hit the pavement. See what you can find. Times are tough and competition for good jobs is fierce, so you need whatever edge you can get. For folks like us, we’re going to get the edge by using our magick and our spellcraft.

Thursdays have such a rich source of magick for us to draw upon that, honestly, the sky is the limit. This is the day associated with the gods of the sky and heavens, after all. Get to know these deities and add their wisdom and magick into your days

The Witches Guide to Thursday, July 6th

Posted by Mistress of the Myst

Trapped for the CraftThe Witches Guide to Thursday, July 6th

Thursday
Jupiter’s (Thor’s) day

⦁ Middle English – thursday or thuresday
⦁ Old Norse– thorsdagr – Thor’s day
⦁ Old English– thunresdæg – Thunder’s day
⦁ Latin – dies Jovis – “Day of Jupiter”
⦁ Ancient Greek – hemera Dios – “day of Zeus”

The name is derived from Old English and Middle English Thuresday (with loss of -n-, first in northern dialects, from influence of Old Norse Þorsdagr) meaning “Thor’s Day”. Thunor, Donar (German, Donnerstag) and Thor are derived from the name of the Germanic god of thunder, Thunraz, equivalent to Jupiter in the interpretation romance.

In most Romance languages, the day is named after the Roman god Jupiter, who was the god of sky and thunder. In Latin, the day was known as Iovis Dies, “Jupiter’s Day”. In Latin, the genitive or possessive case of Jupiter was Iovis/Jovis and thus in most Romance languages it became the word for Thursday: Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi, Sardinian jòvia, Catalan dijous, and Romanian joi.

This is also reflected in the p-Celtic Welsh dydd Iau.

The astrological and astronomical sign of the planet Jupiter is sometimes used to represent Thursday.
Since the Roman god Jupiter was identified with Thunor (Norse Thor in northern Europe), most Germanic languages name the day after this god: Torsdag in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, Hósdagur/Tórsdagur in Faroese, Donnerstag in German or Donderdag in Dutch. Finnish and Northern Sami, both non-Germanic (Uralic) languages, uses the borrowing “Torstai” and “Duorastat”. In the extinct Polabian Slavic language, it was perundan, Perun being the Slavic equivalent of Thor.

There are a number of modern names imitating the naming of Thursday after an equivalent of “Jupiter” in local tradition. In most of the languages of India, the word for Thursday is Guruvar- var meaning day and guru being the style for Bṛhaspati, guru to the gods and regent of the planet Jupiter. In Thai, the word is Wan Pharuehatsabodi—referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. En was an old Illyrian deity and in his honor in the Albanian language Thursday is called “Enjte”. In the Nahuatl language, Thursday is Tezcatlipotōnal meaning “day of Tezcatlipoca”.

The Magickal Day of Thursday

Thursday is a day of royal blues and greens, associated with the planet Jupiter and metals like tin. When it comes to deities, look at leader type gods like Thor, Zeus, and Jupiter. Gemstone correspondences for Thursday include turquoise, amethyst and lapis lazuli, and plant associations can be found in honeysuckle, cinquefoil, and even oak trees.

This is a day for honor, fealty and family loyalty, as well as harvesting, success, and prosperity.

Take advantage of Thursday’s different aspects and do spellwork that brings abundance to you, declares your allegiance, and embraces prosperity.

On Thursday, July 6th, We Celebrate the Goddess Haumea

SpellCaster

On Thursday, July 6th, We Celebrate the Goddess Haumea

 

HAUMEA, A POLYNESIAN GODDESS, was credited with teaching women how to give birth by pushing their babies out from between their legs. Before this, folklore claims that children were cut from their wombs, extracted by knife like a pit from ripe fruit. Thanks to Haumea, women were able to forego this dangerous life passage.

Haumea mated with the god Kane Milohai. Their numerous children included Hi’iaka, who taught the hula dance to the Hawaiians, and Pele, the tempestuous fire goddess associated with volcanoes. One myth claims that Pele was born from the goddess’s armpit, suggesting the overwhelming fertility of Haumea—life was created from all of her body, not just her womb. In some ways, Pele reflected the mirror aspect of Haumea. Just as Haumea creates life, Pele destroys with fire. Haumea was also credited with giving birth to many fantastic creatures who populated the earth.

Also a goddess of vegetation, Haumea is honored as the mother of Hawaii. It is appropriate that a goddess so closely associated with fertility would be tied to this verdant island paradise.

Thursday, July 6th

 

Thursday is the day of the planet Jupiter, dedicated to Thunor(Thor), God of thunder and agricultural work. His parallels in various European traditions are Zeus, Taranis, Perun, Perkunas and St. Olaf. The faith of the Northern Tradition holds Thursday sacred, just as Islam reveres Friday, Judaism the Sabbath(calculated from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday), and Christianity, Sunday. This is why almost all adages about Thursday are positve, such as “Thursday’s child has far to go,” “Sneeze on Thursday, something better,” or “Cut nails on Thursday for wealth.” Thursday rules controlled optimism, energetic growth, physical well-being and material success.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius

When the Moon is in Sagittarius

By Tarot.com Staff
Videos, Sagittarius, New-moon, Moon, Full-moon, Astrology

No matter what your Moon sign is, we are all honorary Sagittarians when the Moon moves through that sign. The energy of Sagittarius is very expansive, free, and visionary. If you’re normally very pragmatic or cynical, you might find that you’re a little more optimistic than usual. Your mind will start considering all the possibilities of a situation rather than just focusing on the potential roadblocks. Your thoughts could end up in uncharted territory!

A Sagittarius Moon will renew your sense of adventure, and you could have the desire to pick something (no matter how big or small) and just go for it. Sagittarius loves the idea of traveling and expanding their horizon. This can be something physical like traveling to a faraway place, or taking their mind on a trip with an education pursuit. Don’t be surprised if you have the urge to register for that class you’ve been thinking about taking, or if you decide to book a last-minute vacation during this transit.
New Moon in Sagittarius

New Moons are a time of new beginnings and new emotional cycles. The Sagittarius New Moon asks us to plant the seeds of optimism. This is when we allow ourselves to leave the painful parts of our pasts behind so we can visualize a bigger and brighter future. This idealistic outlook doesn’t match the realities of everyone’s life. Many people are suffering in economic, emotional, physical, and spiritual ways. It’s not difficult to find areas of frustration and fear inside us and in the environment around us. The Sagittarius New Moon offers you hope, and all the wonderful things that hope brings. Instead of seeing a situation as it is, you will be able to imagine what your situation could be.
Full Moon in Sagittarius

Unlike the New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted six months ago, and how it’s coming to fruition. It urges us to consider what’s next. This is an interesting time because the Moon in far-seeing Sagittarius opposes the Sun in nearsighted Gemini. Gemini is concerned with things that are nearby while Sagittarius wants us to contemplate what’s on the distant horizon. We might be overwhelmed with ideas and information, but the Sagittarius Full Moon helps us focus our attention on long-term goals and higher principles rather than getting lost in a flood of small details.
If you were born with the Moon in Sagittarius

Lunar Sagittarians are the free spirits of the zodiac, and are most fulfilled when they have the freedom to live life on their own terms. They feel their best when they can maintain their independence and come and go as they please. People with this bold Moon sign are always game to try something new, and their nomadic nature often has them daydreaming about their next adventure! This sign doesn’t ask, “Why?” It asks, “Why not?”

Someone with a Sagittarius Moon has a passion for learning. This Moon sign is all about expansion, and that includes broadening their minds. Sagittarius chases after wisdom, and they do this by seeking out the truth about the people and world around them. This Moon sign likes to dabble in philosophy, psychology, religion, or whatever subject might help them in their pursuit of knowledge.

Optimism is at the heart of people born with a Sagittarius Moon. Their happy-go-lucky demeanor and positive outlook on life give them an adaptability that makes it easy to roll with all of life’s punches. Some mistake their idealism for having an unrealistic outlook on life, but it’s really that Lunar Sagittarians believe in their heart that everything will work out for the best in the end.
Sagittarius Moon Sign Traits:

Easygoing
Humorous
Intuitive

Honest
Independent
Generous

Intelligent
Open-minded
Creative

The Sky This Week for July 6 to July 9

Pluto’s peak appearance, a globular cluster in Ophiuchus, and other amazing things to look for in the sky this week.
By Richard Talcott

Thursday, July 6

The waxing gibbous Moon passes just 3° north of Saturn this evening, helping point the way to the magnificent ringed planet. The two are on display nearly all night among the background stars of southern Ophiuchus, hanging in the southeastern sky as darkness falls and climbing high in the south by midnight local daylight time. The pair will look nice with the naked eye or binoculars, but telescope users will want to choose another night this week when the Moon isn’t so close to target the magnitude 0.1 planet. Saturn reached its peak just three weeks ago, when it appeared opposite the Sun in the sky, and our view of the ringed planet remains spectacular. A telescope reveals the world’s 18″-diameter disk surrounded by a dramatic ring system that spans 41″ and tilts 27° to our line of sight.

The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, at 12:28 a.m. EDT. It then lies 252,236 miles (405,934 kilometers) from Earth’s center.

Friday, July 7

This week offers observers their first peek of Mercury during its current evening apparition. The innermost planet stands 6° high in the west-northwest a half-hour after sunset tonight. Although Mercury glows brightly, at magnitude –0.6, you might need binoculars to spot it initially against the twilight glow. A telescope reveals the planet’s disk, which spans 5.6″ and appears 80 percent lit.

Saturday, July 8

Full Moon officially arrives at 12:07 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning, but it looks completely illuminated all night. It appears low in the southeast as the Sun sets and climbs highest in the south around 1 a.m. local daylight time. The Full Moon resides among the background stars of Sagittarius the Archer throughout the night.

Sunday, July 9

Tonight marks the peak of Pluto’s 2017 appearance. The distant world reaches opposition, which means it lies opposite the Sun in our sky and remains visible all night. It glows dimly at 14th magnitude, however, so you’ll need an 8-inch or larger telescope with good optics to spot it visually. Pluto currently lies in northeastern Sagittarius, some 1.8° east-southeast of 3rd-magnitude Pi (p) Sagittarii. See “In pursuit of Pluto” in the July Astronomy for complete details on finding this world.
