July
July is a beautiful month, full of windows of opportunity to make powerful shifts and begin new chapters built on the foundation of your past efforts.Now is the time to release outdated stories, honour who you are becoming, and step consciously into a future that is truly worthy of your light.
Change is in the Air
July is a powerful month astrologically, offering practical yet profound opportunities for lasting change and growth.
There are significant energetic shifts this month, supporting the need to engage your will, establish healthy boundaries, and take positive action steps that bring you closer to your essential goals. This may require further release of outdated cultural conditioning, as well as the courage to step into a new landscape.
In many ways, July continues last month’s theme of intuitive decision-making. However, this month brings the opportunity to anchor those choices in your personal truth and your capacity to fully receive what you truly desire. It may not be an easy month, with many considerations, moments of doubt, and potential confusion around direction, self-worth, responsibility, and compromise.
As you navigate your inner questions, take time to check in with yourself about what feels right—even if it may disappoint someone else or lead you in an unexpected direction.
Weed Your Garden
July brings a period of reflection on our values and relationships. We enter a new cycle where we recalibrate relational patterns, strengthen our confidence, and clarify our direction moving forward.
This is the month to practise shifting perspective, as you begin to detach from what no longer serves you. It’s a time to re-evaluate all your relationships—and how you spend your time and money—as you ask yourself: “Is it really worth it?”
July is teaching you to value yourself. To let your light shine more brightly. To stop diminishing yourself or allowing others to take advantage of your generosity. It invites you to reflect on how you value your time and your work—and whether you’re charging appropriately for your services.
Throughout the month, pay close attention to what arises for you around themes of money, love, and relationships. The lessons you receive about self-worth and self-love will help you to elevate your life by attracting people and circumstances that make you feel seen, appreciated, and worthy.
It’s important to stay disciplined in weeding out what you no longer want and to set clear boundaries—especially when you're tempted by the comfort of the familiar, rather than the promise of something new. Embrace the lessons of the past, and trust that what you’ve learned will guide you forward on the right path.
So, stay present—especially when familiar challenges, situations or emotional reactions resurface. Meet them with the intention to change how they affect you. Practise neutrality, and avoid taking things personally.
Try not to fall into reaction or judgement—particularly if your choices are leading you away from situations you’ve been tolerating for too long.
Resist the pull of shame, blame, or victimhood. Instead, see your insights as gifts. Let them open the door to gratitude—for the clarity and freedom you’re discovering as you move forward this month.
Shifting Through Self-Love
We begin the month in the sign of Cancer, the nurturing sign of The Mother. Cancer helps us connect with our emotions and intuition. It teaches us to nourish our inner child—the part within us all that longs to feel safe and secure.
This month offers the opportunity to heal longstanding wounds—from childhood, our ancestral lineage, and even past lives. What once felt impossible to shift is now within reach. We are supported in transforming harmful patterns by meeting our deepest fears and integrating them with compassion. As we re-parent ourselves, we allow our adult selves to experience new forms of love and creativity that feel more meaningful and fulfilling.
Let emotions around safety surface this month. Take time to reflect or journal on questions such as: What is home to me? What makes me feel safe and secure?
Collectively, we are moving through a greater astrological shift, entering a new paradigm marked by Aquarian ideals: progress, equality, innovation, and humanitarian values. Whatever glitches arise now, we are being called to come together to reimagine society—starting from within. It all begins with self-love and how we relate to one another. The universe, after all, lives inside each of us. If we can love more—deepening our relationships with courage, kindness and presence—the world will begin to mirror that transformation.
Amazing Opportunity for Growth
This is a time when Mother Nature is in full bloom—and you have a special chance to bloom right alongside her. Knowing when to open your arms to receive your blessings is essential. This month, change will come through your ability to choose what is good for you and to open yourself to receiving your gifts.
Throughout this exciting month, find ways to tap into the anticipation of things moving forward. Connect with the support that is guiding you to show up differently—more aligned with your inner wisdom—regardless of what your past, or those connected to it, may have told you.
This is truly a new chapter, and you deserve to step into a landscape that reflects your deepest desires. Manifestation comes more easily now, but be mindful not to recreate old patterns. When in doubt, ask yourself: “How is this different from what I’ve experienced before?”
This is the month to turn up your wattage—shine your light and walk with pride. Celebrate yourself boldly and unapologetically.
Because you are amazing, dear one—and you deserve every good thing that is coming your way.
July blessings,

July Practices
Tend to Your Heart
This month, tend gently to your heart. You may find yourself in a more emotional state of mind, so try to take time each day to connect with your feelings—perhaps by journalling or simply sitting with what’s present. Indulge in self-care and self-love in whatever way feels natural to you. Mother your younger parts by treating yourself as tenderly as you would a beloved child.
Rekindle Your Passions
Seek out quiet moments in your daily life to touch base with your soul and reconnect with your heart. Tune in to the frequency of Love—the very frequency of the soul. Allow yourself to feel loved, and to receive love, as a path towards rediscovering what you truly love. Let the question “What do I want?” become a daily practice of contemplation and truth-telling. This month, the most meaningful way to discover your ‘why’ is by listening to the gentle whispers of your soul.
Let Yourself Play
July invites you to have more fun. Bring creativity into your daily life and try new approaches to familiar tasks—so you can enjoy them more. When you're in the vibration of joy, you naturally attract more goodness and draw in people who resonate with that same loving energy. You can read more about the Power of Play here.
