Here we are ready to begin the 7th month of the year! I have to say that I am loving the warm weather and that the gardens are finally getting going here in New England. We had a bit of a slow start this year because the cold hung out a bit longer than usual and we had a ton of rain. We are still waiting for all the local veggies to come available like we usually have this time of year. All of our stands are still selling flowers where we would usually be onto peppers and tomatoes by now. It makes me wonder if the growing season will run later for us this year in the fall. It will be interesting to watch!
We have some important events this month. Tomorrow we celebrate our New Moon in July. This New Moon is going to have a huge influence from the Solar Eclipse that day. We are going to experience a total solar eclipse so none of the sun will be visible. Energy from a New Moon will last about a month, while you may find that energy from a Solar Eclipse can last up to 6 months. This solar eclipse is going to be us strong energy of possibility. It’s time to question old habits and look for new ways to make progress in your life. You are going to find it’s a very strong energy of anything being possible so if you’ve been waiting for that perfect time to start something new this is definitely the time.
This energy is going to begin a cycle that is going to last until about December this year. This energy will merge with the energy of our Partial Lunar eclipse and Full Moon on July 16th carrying similar energy. This is a night of powerful energy not to be missed! Set the pace for the next Lunar cycle!
If you haven’t ordered your New Moon Eclipse Reading yet tomorrow is the last day! When you order this reading you will receive a special coupon via email for the Full Moon eclipse reading.
Let’s take a look at what else is going on this month.
July 1: Crone Day – A day to honor Father Time and Old Mother Nature
July 2 – New Moon and Solar Eclipse
July 8 – Celtic Month of Holly begins.
July 16 – Full Blessings Moon and Lunar Eclipse
July 19 – Rebecca Nurse is hung in Salem in 1692.
July 21 – Witch’s Day – A day to celebrate your craft.
July 29 – Festival of Thor
July 31 – New Moon
August 1 – Lammas or Lughnasadh – Celebration of the Grain Harvest.
I wanted to include Lammas even though it’s on August 1st as that is going to come up super quick as it’s on August 1st.
I pulled the 5 of swords for July. This month work on minimizing conflict in your life. This may be conflict with others but it can also be conflict that’s in your environment. Work to establish a calming environment in your home where you can recharge your soul and get the rest that you need. Drinking water and spending extra time in nature are both perfect activities for this month with the warm summer sun. They will also help you to ground and center yourself removing any energy that isn’t in your best interest.
Choose your battles wisely. As a Mom this is one of the lessons I learned early on. I choose what’s worth fighting for. Follow this in your every day life. Sometimes you are just going to have to let things go for your own sanity. Recognize that everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to make their own decisions in life. You may want to offer advice but don’t be upset if they choose to take their own path. It is their lesson to learn.
The energy is going to be strong and up and down a lot of the month because of the Solar and Lunar eclipse energy. It’s important energy to work with though and it will not be ignored so be sure to work with whatever is coming your way. This is not a month of rest but a month to work hard on your personal life and get those things that you need. If you have changes that have been needed to be made this year and you haven’t found the time quite yet you may find that energy this month forces you to stop and make those changes. Try to stay on top of what needs to be done. If you do that you will find this month has a lot of great potential!
Surround yourself with love, do what makes you happy and most of all have patience with yourself. Your are going to feel emotional at times, you are going to feel pressured to make changes, you are going to feel baffled at times at what in the world you are meant to do next. You’re human. 🙂 It’s going to happen. Especially when we have some strong energy of change and personal growth around us. Just make every effort to enjoy each day and share love with others and you will enjoy this month.
Have an amazingly magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
