July 8 - 14
Over here in NYC, we've been assaulted by a heat wave. With 90+ degrees days, the sun has been unrelenting. Your skin immediately becomes salty with sweat and the first thing you want to do when you get home is shower. Since July began, the weather's intensity is part and parcel to the intensity of our experience. This week will be particularly busy and it leads up to Saturday's Mercury Retrograde.
Let's talk about July's numerology - the 3 energy. This month's happenings are crafted around creativity, self-expression and innovation. We'll seek experiences that make our heart skip a beat and feel more connected to our ultimate goals. We're more than halfway through our year of break-throughs but it doesn't always result in celebration. All of the challenges that we've successfully avoided for years, along with the coping mechanisms aiding our avoidance, are no longer at a safe distance. We are confronting difficult issues that we've surpressed, ignored or even believed to be behind us. Last week, I watched friends (and myself), literally break down in order to break through. Don't worry - once we face these challenges and develop ways to actually deal with them, as opposed to pretending/believe that they're not there (facing the reality vs. the illusion), our passion will have a more open outlet. We are eliminating restrictions, which inevitably leads to powerful changes in the way we see ourselves and behave. The intensity in our lives is building as we approach Saturday's Mercury Retrograde.
This Mercury Retrograde (the second, out of three this year) has a firey energy, further connecting us to the flames that stoke our passions, our deepest callings in this lifetime. As always, the planet's reverse motion prompts reflection, revision and preparation. Once the planet turns direct on August 8th, we'll be so much further along in knowing what we want and how to get it. We will come out of it with a much stronger understanding of the changes that have taken place this year and how we can find balance in all that we hope to achieve.
Until then, ride this week's wave of intensity and then enjoy the slowing halt that Saturday brings.
love & light.
