Overview: The first couple of weeks of July offer a bit of break in the action until later in the month. The eclipse on 7/11 will bring up some strong emotions, and the necessary support is there for us to look at how we really feel about what’s been transpiring since mid June. Pay attention to what home really means to you, as most likely it’s undergoing some transformations and changes at this time.
7/1-7/2…Inspiration and ideas abound. Soften your approach and practical solutions appear.

7/3-7/4…This holiday weekend see where you can honor true interdependence in your web of community. It takes a village to pretty much anything of lasting significance; who is your tribe? This is also a good time to review your intentions around what you set in motion late November/early December 2009. How have things transformed? Take some time to reflect and set a new intention for the coming months. If you find yourself feeling cranked up/ irritated, channel it into productive action and exercise. Ask yourself what authentic actions you can take at this time.

Cancer Solar Eclipse 7/10-7/11…After a tumultuous and busy couple of weeks, it’s time for our feelings and emotions to catch up with us. Be tender. Sow seeds of compassion and understanding as you weed out judgement and false pretenses. Atone and forgive yourself and others to make room for more love in your life. As this eclipse is in Cancer, take time to reflect on your roots and how they are impacting you today. What is home? What is family? What is security to you?
