Focus during July is on balance. You may be
dealing with high mental energy, and want to go full speed ahead
in one direction at the expense of other areas that need attention.
When you bring things into flow and harmony you can receive
recognition and acknowledgement for work well done. Otherwise,
you may feel out of control and need to grasp the reins of your
finances and time management so that you accomplish goals and
objectives. Weave the threads of past, present and future for
optimum results. In this year of new beginnings, this month
calls you to weigh and balance before making a headlong rush
ahead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHAT ARE YOUR GIFTS IN THE YEAR
2007?
|
|
1 |
The opportunities are for a renewed sense of
individuality and the need to step out of the familiar way of
going about life. Leadership, courage, stamina, and all the things
that define the sculpting process of the diamond are underway.
This is a seed planting year as you attempt things. Not all will
come to fruition, but the effort is important. Grappling with
purely selfish wants and transmuting them into a larger vision
or purpose that enhances the lives of all concerned brings about
the noble qualities that define a great leader. Calling on unique
capabilities and a fresh vantage point are part of the requirement
this year. Align your will with higher guidance, and your endeavors
will be something you can be proud of by year’s end.

This year calls upon you to overcome all that
keeps you from soul expression. Choices are very important. Choose
that which uplifts, nourishes, honors, and benefits you and life.
Release all mental constructs that pull you down. Avoid food and
stimulants that add no benefit to the wellbeing of your body.
Choose only partnerships that are mutually respectful, and know
that you have Divine partnership with inner guidance that is always
available as you reach within for assistance. An inner light illumines
your path, and can become a light to others when you attune to
your gifts and share them with the world. The time is now. The
requirement is discernment, and your contribution can bring needed
insights to a world in the dark. |

You are a child of the universe. Your sense of
wonder and self-expression are important, and throughout this
year you will have opportunities to expand your gifts and to bring
your voice forward in creative venues that appreciate what you
have to offer. While a stage is set and waiting for you, there
may also be emotional pulls that cause you to sacrifice the opportunities
because of someone else’s issues. Life asks you to be more
detached. In looking at the universal year, #9, remember that
everyone is being asked to release attachment to limitation, especially
in relation to the number of the year in which you find yourself.
Who and what contributes to joy in your life? Who or what is critical
and restrictive to your higher calling? You can love others and
have compassion for them without being devoured by their inadequacy.
What is your bigger calling in life, and where are you answering
it, or deferring because someone else is blocking the way?
|

Look at every area in life that is built on a
foundation. Where are your building blocks strong, and where are
they wobbly? Where do you have a healthy sense of self-esteem,
and where are you on shaky ground? Do you believe in yourself
and your abilities - in your capacity to take on something that
may seem beyond your present capacity, and your willingness to
risk to the unknown? Throughout the year, you have opportunities
to build or re-build. You can construct a strong and safe environment,
or you can be caught in a fear-based trap that causes feelings
of imprisonment. Gather the materials for establishing yourself
in a practical manner. Push beyond the perceptual boundaries that
limit you, and you may find yourself transforming from the caterpillar
into the butterfly. It’s your choice, and challenge. Risk
to the call of your higher possibilities, and fly beyond all roadblocks
from the past. |
|

Throughout 2007, be ready and willing to adapt
to new criteria, shifting roles, expanding horizons, and change.
Flexibility is required, as well as good management of your time
and energy. You may react to restriction like a hormone driven
teenager, so it is important to allow your higher guidance to
act as the steadying influence when you are ready to react without
thinking. Pause. Consider. Assess. Be discerning. Then take action.
Many things can be accomplished when you direct the focus of your
exuberance. Too much information can put you on systems overload,
however, and then you may become hyper critical of others or yourself.
This can be a very revitalizing year in your life, with openings
to greater good. It will require that you be aware of how much
time you actually have to spend, and how much money. Reach for
your dreams. Strategize your moves, and act with boldness. This
is your life… so enjoy! |

2007 focuses on all things related to family,
health, and service. You have opportunity after opportunity to
view your reaction to what is asked of you. Do you give with a
loving heart, or through a sense of obligation and duty? Are you
resentful for what is placed on your shoulders, or is it a joy
to give to others and see their reaction? Do you feel abused and
put upon, or loved and cared for? These are things to assess.
Expectations can create barriers to loving communication, so if
you expect too much of others, or feel their expectations of you
as a burden, create workable boundaries that define what you will
and will not do before it becomes a martyrdom issue. Loving relationships
can become more meaningful now, or go through crisis. Healing
comes through practicing love and forgiveness – not just
towards others, but towards yourself as well. |

7 |
This is an important year for you. Look at your
assumptions about life and about yourself, and be willing to really
examine what is true for you and what has been assumed based on
what you were told you are, or how to think. You have a grace
given opportunity to dissolve all elements that defeat the real
you. By strengthening your link in spirit to the Divine, you may
come to know yourself in a way you have not previously realized
was possible. Special areas of interest, deep insights into life
or relationships, willingness to let what doesn’t work drop
away – all are avenues to a fuller expression of your gifts
and abilities. This is your time to do the spiritual work that
will make your life a symphony. Follow the sound of your higher
calling, and you will always be thankful you did. |
|
8 |
This is a powerful year of contrasts. You are
able to see the light and shadow, to experience the ups and downs,
and feel the effect of past actions that lead to harmony, harvest
and blessing, or make you feel you are called upon to pay the
bills that are now past due. There is no judgment in this –
but there is a requirement to take care of each thing presented
as it comes up for action. The year calls for maturity, good management,
and organization. It shows you where you have paid too much attention
to one area of life at the expense of others that now need to
be cared for. It provides powerful assistance and responses from
others based on your efforts, so do your very best this year.
There is responsibility, but there is also help. Open your arms
to dance with life, and find the balance that makes your journey
a poised performance. |

You are completing a nine-year cycle of life.
Therefore, there is much to review. What is important to carry
with you into the future, and what needs to be released? What
have you accomplished in this past nine years? What has blocked
you, and where have you overcome limitations? Are there relationships
that need healing or releasing? Are there attitudes that no longer
serve you? As you can look upon everything presented with a sense
of gratitude and appreciation for the gift embedded in it, you
open yourself to receive the grace and provisions of Divine guidance.
When you forget to be grateful, and fall into the trap of pettiness
and small thinking, you feel the isolation of tumbling from a
mountaintop of clear vistas that includes all life. Alienation
can only be overcome through opening the heart, inviting Spirit
to be the Source of supply, and moving into compassion, forgiveness,
and love. It may sound difficult, but once you open that channel
of receptivity, all things are possible!
