VIII STRENGTH & XVII THE STAR
As we begin July, last month's energies of The Chariot and The Tower are still very much in effect and their energies linger into the July Full Moon on the 9th and may even be felt as far in as mid-July.
By now many of us have received the kick in the pants that we needed thanks to the energies of The Tower; and for those who still haven't taken action and somehow feel that they've escaped the Universe's restructuring, then you may be in for a rude awakening. If you know what needs to change and what you need to do - do yourself a favour and get onto it...ASAP! All you need to do is take one step - even a teeny tiny step in the right direction will help you to begin making the changes before the Universe steps things up a notch and does the whole thing for you.
We feel that we've been waiting for the missing piece of the puzzle - FYI: it isn't missing and it never was! It's been there all along, we just haven't been aware enough to sense it - maybe because of limiting beliefs, fears or illusions that had been clouding our senses, and yes, it was kept from our awareness for our own protection, but what we didn't quite manage to understand during the process was that somewhere along the way we forgot to take/make the time to look around to see whether the perceived threat was actually worse than the reality that we've been living - which as we know now hasn't had us living to our fullest potential, has it?
The Rebel archetype is at play here for many of us - in its supportive role, the Rebel has us persisting in the face of defeat, we find strength to continue on our path, knowing that there just has to be more to it than this - whatever this - challenge, obstacle, struggle - happens to be for you in your life at present.
In it's non-supportive role, the Rebel keeps us from making progress and moving on with our lives. It manifests as resistance, stubbornness, habits and behaviours that contribute to self-sabotage and it has developed such a covert way of operating that we don't even realise that it's making our life much more difficult than it needs to be. We don't realise that we're being played by our Rebel archetype, but once we become aware of its games, then everything begins to shift!
This month we will find ourselves triggered by the littlest things, we may also be visited by the Victim archetype too; we can easily rattle off how many times we've been hurt, how many times this exact thing has happened to us, and we can somehow always tell the story in a way that the other person comes off as the bad guy - and maybe they were, but we also need to be honest, open and transparent enough with ourselves to see that we have been the common denominator in these instances or events.
This isn't to say that you beat yourself up for your part in the situation, that won't achieve anything other than setting you back further than where you now find yourself; no, what you need to do is be willing to take responsibility for your part - you don't have to tell anyone, this can be done as an individual exercise - and then you need to find a way to forgive yourself.
Know that you did the best you could at the time with the knowledge, information and resources that you had at your disposal. I'm sure that if the same situation presented itself now you wouldn't take the same action, right?
Acknowledging our pain is the first step. Becoming aware of our wounds is such an integral part of our healing journey to wholeness.
When we open our heart to ourselves, when we can take responsibility for ourselves, when we can speak our Truth and be willing to find comfort in that - no matter how it looks, feels or sounds, then we initiate the next stage of healing that begins the alignment with our Soul/Higher Self.
It's time to begin to step into our Truth, to become re-acquainted with our Essence, to remember that we are sparks of the Divine and that we are connected to one and all, and that our actions and words affect not only ourselves but countless others too.
Inner Work for July
Use these questions for journalling and/or healing work - pay attention to your body’s reactions to these questions and see if you can trace your reactive thoughts back to where you may be experiencing dis-ease or stress in your life:
What challenge/struggle/obstacle do I continually find myself facing?
What am I really resisting?
Do I want to be right or do I want to be happy?
Is my stubbornness benefiting or hindering me?
Am I willing to see how I am contributing to my current situation?
Am I willing to do things differently so that I can begin to attract more positive experiences into my life?
I've no doubt that these questions have triggered some stuff for you. Perhaps you're beginning to see the common themes in and of your life? Perhaps you're tired of the stories you've uncovered? If you're ready to begin shifting these patterns so that you can begin to live a life that's more congruent with your desire for love, peace and harmony, then visit our Readings page to book a reading with me and we'll take the next step in your healing journey together.
