JULY
2006 by Bob Mulligan
July is relatively slow but its sundering pace provides
us an opportunity to calm down.Even though there is
much planetary activity, the general tone is one of
peace and regrouping.This is a spiritually charged
time but the pace is lazier than the last six months
has been. But this slow down is essential to allow
deep, meaningful integration.Regardless of our circumstances,
some important aspect of our primary relationships
will change.The more conscious we are, the more obvious
this will be for us as a profound transformation is
within our grasp.
Mercury
turns Retrograde on the 4th. This is the second of
three retrograde periods this year.The energy of this
three week period of re-evaluation is one of grounding
ideals into our everyday life.Make principles practical.
The
Full Moon on the 10th is at 18th degrees Cancer/Capricorn.This
is an important time to meditate on creating harmony
between our private and our public lives.From a spiritual
perspective it is the time of feeling connected to
the country and to the cosmos.
The
Sun moves into Leo on the 22nd.Our concentration and
attention moves toward outer self-expression; if we
are in tune with the rhythm of life, we will be able
to demonstrate the same feelings to the world that
we have been exploring with our own close ones. This
can be an experience of a different type of bonding.
We
really start off with a lift on the 25th as the New
Moon at 12:32 am EDT at 2 degrees Leo moves us toward
thinking in much bigger terms.
Our
thought processes settle down as Mercury turns direct
on the 28th. July ends with romance in the air but
a peaceful feeling nonetheless.We experience a deeper
satisfaction in our everyday lives in direct proportion
to our inner changes which have laid the foundation
for a new pattern of interaction.
From
the 1st to the 9th we move into a reflective mood
with many decisions from the last few months being
re-evaluated. It is possible to make things much worse
by trying to rectify an uncomfortable circumstance.
Some things can't be corrected now. Keep focused on
your highest vision of the truth.
From
the 10th to the 16th our general instinct is to seek
security and comfort now. There is plenty of romance
but it is possible that other people don't catch your
attention if you are busy being practical and task
oriented. Take time to appreciate people.
From
the 17th to the 23th we complete tasks or just abandon
them. We are determined to change basic aspects of
our lives. Circumstances change as we aim to respond
more intelligently to our own sensitivity. Get centered
in your own life and feel the gravity; don't be afraid,
soon life will get easier.
From
the 24th to the 31st we get a chance to bring our
personal creations to others with some dramatic flair.
We tend to feel larger now and generosity abounds.
This can be a good time to ask for something that
you really want.
