 Pain can be the source of your destruction or your liberation. 

What barriers are you putting in front of you? What limiting beliefs are you holding on to? Regardless of where you came from, what you've been through, or who have hurt you in the past, you have the power to choose yourself. The power to choose to grow and evolve. The power to release yourself from the past and move forward. The power to step into your magick, realize your potential, and live your life on purpose.

As devastating as pain can be, the idea is not to reject it completely. Because trying to reject it only brings our attention more to it. Understanding that each pain is actually a gateway to our liberation is the first step in recognizing our personal power. The power we have in the present moment. The power we have in choosing what step to take next.

"As devastating as pain can be, the idea
is not to reject it completely."

We can choose to wallow in our pain, or we can use it to fuel our spirit so that we can be our best selves. This is not about avoiding a painful truth, this is about recognizing that growth and transformation is an ongoing process. It is actually healthy to check in with ourselves once in a while. To see how our body is feeling and how our soul is growing.

The truth is we are still here. What got us to this point, whether we recognize it or not, is that fire within. And whether it's flickering or burning bright, the point is to nurture it. Do one lovely thing for ourselves every day. Start collecting personal energy boosters — AKA things or activities that make us feel better. The power of choice is in our hands. Whether big or small, every step we take to enhance our lives will keep us fueled and thriving.

"What got us to this point, whether we recognize
it or not, is that fire within."

We will have a New Moon Solar Eclipse on July 2nd, 2019. The Moon will be joining the Sun in Cancer, marking an emotional and sentimental New Moon in the sign of the Crab. There is a lot to be gained now from listening to what our emotions have to say. How we feel not only guides how we interact with others, but also our capacity to learn. It can also inspire us to pursue change and overcome obstacles along our path.

The Moon in Cancer will be forming a sextile to Uranus in Taurus and a trine to Neptune Rx in Pisces, and we find an alternate pathway to overcome new hurdles on our track when we listen to our intuition. A realization or an 'aha!' moment helps us see the wisdom and beauty in an old situation and we develop a new level of empathy. This will, in turn, help us forge new connections or overcome weak ones.

The Cancer Moon will also form an opposition to Saturn Rx and Pluto Rx in Capricorn and restructuring our outer lives begins with reinventing our inner lives. Without recognizing the true reality behind our current struggles or delving into the shadows it will be impossible to grow. It is time to make space for metamorphosis and to reaffirm our faith in our own capacity to transform our lives from within.

"There is a lot to be gained now from listening
to what our emotions have to say."

On July 16th, 2019, we will have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. The Moon will be joining Saturn Rx and Pluto Rx in Capricorn and forming an opposition to Venus and the Sun in Cancer, marking a sobering yet passionate Full Moon in the sign of the Sea Goat. Recognizing the reality of our situation can sometimes be jarring, but it can also provide an impetus for change. The Full Moon shines a light on our openness to not let fear get in the way and to see reality as an inspiration for radical change.

With the Moon in Capricorn forming a trine to Uranus in Taurus and a sextile to Neptune Rx in Pisces, we are reminded that deep within us all there is a well of infinite creativity. We can tap into this creative potential when we let our mind wander to explore different possibilities. Allow ourselves to play as we did when we were children, and take the time to think and reflect to make space for new, creative sparks.

"Recognizing the reality of our situation can sometimes be jarring,
but it can also provide an impetus for change."

July is our time to connect with the emotional body. Our time to accept reality as it is. Our time to focus on what makes us happy at work, because it will help us to stay grounded and creative — even when things are tough. Remember that our emotions are not something to be feared, but something that can help us settle into the embrace of our own company and our own power.
