1 - There is a need to organize, manage, and integrate aspects of your life that call for better direction and realistic time assessment. In the process, determine where you have been expending too much energy in one arena of your life at the expense of others. Develop balance and harmony in your world, recognizing yourself as a system of energy. As you make time to dialogue with yourself, you can isolate the various internal voices that are pushing for attention. If you see them as a holy family, each is validated. Each has a perspective and point of view, and each needs to respect and appreciate the others. Once you've dealt with your internal world, do the same process with the important role players on the outside. Dysfunction is resolved through determination and concerted action. Powerful alliances can be formed now. Make sure you uphold your end of the bargain.

2 - July brings completion to issues from the past. It's time to release attachment to the form life takes and be more aware of the essence of your experiences. You may be asked to be a spokesperson, to share your wisdom, and to release limiting experiences, relationships, and attitudes that are holding you back. It's time to go to the metaphorical mountaintop and see the bigger picture. As you can reflect a higher perspective, you are a valuable guide to others. Life is a huge stage and you are called up to it…to generate the charisma and magnetic quality that attracts what you need when you need it. Gratitude is the requirement without expectation of what you will receive in return. Clearly this month calls you to Higher Mind, God, Universe… whatever you see it as. That is your Source and your supply. When you remember this, all things are possible.

3 - New beginnings, a fresh start, strong opinions, determination, courage, stamina, self-reliance, stubbornness, and willful or domineering attitudes… whew! This is a month in which to take the reigns of leadership and do it in such a way that others will be glad you are the one. Otherwise, you may become bossy and outspoken in ways that are alienating. You do have to make the final decision, but that doesn't mean you can't allow others their input. Maybe they have something valid to offer. Pay attention to how people relate to you this month. It will give you valuable information about how you come across. This is a month for developing more reasoned self-discipline, because when you push things…you can get them…but you might regret your impulsiveness after. Remember that higher mind has no defensiveness. Sometimes the ego gets a little impatient, but time is not your enemy…it can be a valuable ally.

4 - Awakenings, fortuitous encounters, necessity to display greater faith and uphold your vision…all-important this month. The caliber of your choices affects you in many ways. Start with your thoughts and weed out those things that drain and deplete you. Kiss the inner critic goodbye and welcome the part of you that believes in miracles. Faith is your ally. Fear leads to disillusionment and disbelief in your own abilities. There are things that may take more time than you anticipated. That's okay. Pay attention to those hunches and intuitive stirrings within. They have valuable information for you. You may determine that a particular person or habit is no longer working, and bid them adieu. On the other hand, someone very stimulating may suddenly pop into your life. Above all, this is a month in which to turn on the Inner Light and know it is there for you even in the midst of the dark.

5 - Oh, what a merry time you can have. Fun, adventure, laughter, delightful encounters, enjoyment of friends, popularity, expressing yourself and maybe even getting paid to do so, the spotlight, starlight…the list is endless and entertaining. The only problem might be that you feel inhibited because of someone else's issue…a child…a spouse… a family member. Life is saying to you… "Love them, but don't miss the opportunity that is there for you!" In other words, if you give up what's yours because of an emotional hook somewhere else, then you both are bound by the issue. If you give your affection and support while still taking advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you, everyone feels better. There are many good things possible this month and also the opportunity to see where a part of you gets thrown by issues that may stem from your childhood or around children. You can inspire and motivate others and sell ice cubes to Eskimos. So…don't miss the magic or the party because somebody is trying to rain on your parade. This is your month to sparkle, so shine!

6 - There are times when the structure of life undergoes alteration. This may be one of those times. It can be big or small. You have an opportunity to look at the foundation of your beliefs, your lifestyle, your relationships and career and see where the underpinnings are strong and where they are wobbly. It's a good time to deal with things that need restoring, restructuring, or refinancing. Practicality is important. Willingness to risk to something beyond your old way of doing things can bring about transformation. It is a month where you can experience rites of passage such as birth, death, marriage, and divorce. It's the kind of month where your values and reality come up against one another and you need to take stock and make decisions about how you want to proceed in the future. This can be a redefining moment upon which your future depends.

7 - Change, movement, unexpected news or visits, travel, information, excitement, activity…all things that get the motor running. In this more introspective year July may offer a boost to your energy level. It also opens possibilities of expanding horizons and exploring possibilities. Make sure you read fine print on contracts before you sign and listen the little voice within that reminds you to check your tires or get your oil changed…but other than that, it can be an active and vitalizing month with interesting people, ideas, and activities. Enjoy!

8 - During July the focus is on relationships, values, meaningful connections, ethics, and your sense of service, duty, and obligation. The key to this month is to observe your reaction to requests for help or assistance. Where do you cringe or give dutifully with an undercurrent of resentment, and where are you delighted to be able to help those you love when they need you? No judgment in this…just a point of view that allows you to see whether your resentment meter is neutral or in full operation. It's time to define what you will and won't do and when it is and isn't appropriate for you to do so. Choose your battles wisely, and remember that sometimes if you give on the little things, you gain on the bigger ones. As you extend yourself lovingly, there are a lot of goodies that may come your way. But if you do things with a sense of martyrdom, expect resentment to stare right back at you and recognize that your frame of mind also affects your health. The key to the month: Love and compassion = Love, healing, and compassion right back at you!

9- You have an opportunity to resolve something this month. By taking a deeper or second look, you may find something you've missed before. If your energy is low, take time for yourself…be by water, at the mountains, or with trees and a garden. Communion with nature is restorative and healing. If you feel cut off or isolated, it's time to go deeper within to your spiritual source of sustenance. This month is not about running to externals. It is about reunion within yourself. There may be a feeling of destiny or fated attraction. Someone from the past may resurface so that an old relationship can be resolved. There may be bizarre situations both good and not so good…but the focus of all activity is on getting to deeper truths. Who are you? Why are you here? What is the purpose of your life? When you are willing to ask those questions, the answers will be forthcoming!
