July 2022:  New Adventures, New Beginnings, and Even Bigger Changes to Support You!

We have MASSIVE energies coming our way in July!  Change is the imperative from the Cosmos at this time.

At this moment, we are all The Fool in the Tarot Deck. This doesn’t mean we are foolish!! Instead, it means that we are standing at the edge of a brand new adventure. We are setting off into lands that have never been mapped, or even possibly have never been experienced before. So we have no idea what magic, mystery, or mayhem might await us along the path. This is the archetype of The Fool card. As we traverse July 2022 and beyond, it will be of primary importance to approach life with a Beginner’s Mind – being open to all possibilities and turning off any preconceived ideas of what “needs to” or “has to” happen. When we open our hearts and minds to the unknown, we welcome true magic and alchemical transformation into our lives.

We’ve made it through the eclipse portal and Mercury Retrograde in April, May, and June 2022, and now we’re ready to take all of the lessons learned from those events and anchor them into new action and new beginnings in July. We will have the full support of the Cosmos, particularly in July but also into the month of August, in making & solidifying significant action steps. In fact, we are especially supported in making radical changes that we haven’t been able to make previously. This is because all throughout the month of July, Freedom Rebel Uranus is moving closer & closer to his exact conjunction with the North Node, which represents the future direction of humanity.

It’s important to consider now:

• What lessons did you learn between April-June this year?
• How does this inform the future trajectory you are choosing for your life?
• What changes do you know are absolutely essential, in order for you to move into a brighter, healthier future?
• How are you going to raise your game and set a higher standard for yourself?
• And, the favorite question of Uranus: What is the act of rebellion that will change everything?

Once you have pondered these questions, decide on an action that you will take between now and August 31^st. This can be an action in any category of your life (home, finances, career, relationships, etc).

Very important: Choose an action that changes you. Choose an action that is a pattern-breaker. Then draw out an action plan or map for the steps to accomplish it, and begin taking those steps. It’s ok to choose something quite radical. You will have the power of Uranus + the North Node coming together, all throughout July and August 2022, to take this action and solidify completely new patterns into your life.

Whatever you choose, make sure it feels freedom-infused and outside of your comfort zone. Uranus supports us in doing the unexpected and breaking free from everything that’s been holding us back. And the North Node supports us in building a new future that previously appeared unattainable. When you carry through on this action, you will be lavishly rewarded by the universe, with gifts that make your future feel exciting and liberating.

The Headliner Event:  Uranus-North Node conjunction in Taurus!

This will occur at 18 degrees of Taurus, and will be exact from July 31^st to August 10^th. We are building up to this energy more & more intensely throughout the entire month of July! Uranus represents the intellect, and is quick-moving, rebellious, revolutionary, and electric. Uranus is next-level, birthing the new world (a brand new future for humanity) via sudden changes, unexpected events, shock, and surprise. The North Node represents the future, the direction in which we are heading collectively, and that which we want / tend to amplify and bring into our lives.

The Zodiac sign of Taurus represents all that makes up our physical world: The Earth, our bodies, linear reality, nature & natural beauty, trees & birds, pleasure, enjoyment of the physical, finding bliss in simplicity. Taurus is practical, sensible, and stable. This includes home and feeling grounded to the Earth. It also includes finances and the economy.

To sum this all up, the Uranus-North Node conjunction in Taurus is about breakthroughs, revelations, and unexpected new occurrences that will be happening in support of creating a new world, a new reality, new ways of living & operating in the 3D physical realms, a renewed relationship with the Earth and Life Itself (including the life force within us), and a renewed connection with our bodies as physical temples of the soul. It also indicates significant changes and shake-ups around that which we believe to be solid & stable. This indicates massive changes on very fundamental levels of our world & our perception of reality.

We will gain access to new opportunities to embody & fully embrace all of the Taurus ideals listed above. But with Uranus involved, we must CHANGE significantly (and sometimes shockingly) in order to arrive at that desired future state. Humans do not tend to like change, but now it’s clear that change is imminent, so the best thing you can do is to reach inside, deep down, to find your courage and resilience & bring them to the surface. Allow these times to get you excited about the change. Welcome it! Let it expand you!

Let this massive universal impetus for freedom, rebellion, liberation, and change inspire you, because the possibilities are truly unlimited for us in July & August. The Uranus-North Node conjunction is a massive opportunity for new beginnings & bringing new energies into our lives. Change and breaking down old patterns can happen much more quickly than you’d expect, during July & August.

So be sure to say YES to adventure and new possibilities, every chance you get, throughout July & August! Are you ready???

Mars Conjunct Uranus and the North Node

But wait… That’s not all! Mars is also involved in the headliner event. Mars will be exactly conjunct Uranus and the North Node at 18 degrees of Taurus for 2 days, on August 1^st and 2^nd. This adds a whole new level to the center point of the Uranus-North Node transit.

Mars represents masculine energy, our inner pioneer & adventurous spirit, forging a new path, fiery nature, charging ahead, war, aggression, conflict, outbursts, acting or speaking too soon, courage, strength, resilience in the face of change, bold, reckless, not worried about what others will think or say. So, Mars is going to take things up a notch! Mars will help us to feel true excitement, boldness, and courage as the changes roll through.

Hold on once again … There’s more! The Uranus – North Node – Mars conjunction is coinciding with the Lion’s Gate. The Lion’s Gate is our modern terminology for an event which has been recognized and celebrated for at least the last 5,000 years – And probably the last 10,000 years or more. This is the Heliacal Rising of the star Sirius, which was an extremely important annual event for the ancient Egyptians. In fact, they chose the Heliacal Rising of Sirius as the beginning of their calendar, so it is the ancient Egyptian New Year.

This date was critically important for them, because after months of drought and seeing the waters of the Nile sink lower and lower, Sirius would reappear on the dawn horizon (in ancient times this occurred in mid to late July) and the waters of the Nile would flood once again, bringing life and nourishment back to the land. The star Sirius (called Sopdet in ancient Egyptian language, and Sothis by the ancient Greeks) was recognized as the Netert Isis, and when she returned to the skies each year at this time, she sent the inundation of the flood waters, so that life could return to the people, plants, animals, and land of Egypt.

What does that mean – Heliacal Rising of Sirius?

Sirius is a fixed star located at 13 degrees of Cancer. It is most highly visible in the Northern Hemisphere throughout the winter nighttime skies (it can be seen slightly below and east of the constellation Orion). In May, Sirius sets on the Western horizon, and does not reappear for about 2 to 3 months. When Sirius reappears, she rises just before the sun at dawn (Heliacal Rising), and this coincides with the time that the snow melts in mountains & rivers in Africa that feed into the Nile River, so at the same time as Sirius returns, the Nile floods.

In ancient times, the Heliacal Rising of Sirius occurred around mid to late July. Now, it occurs generally between August 5^th-12^th, depending on your latitude. The Helical Rising of Sirius is an affirmation of the sacredness of Life Itself, and a confirmation of the strength and resiliency of life in the great cycles and turning of ages. This is a Star Portal opening time, when we can connect with the energy of the star Sirius and the Netert Isis to receive vaster possibilities, visions, breakthroughs in understanding, new states of living / being. Entirely new perceptions of reality can enter into our awareness through this interdimensional gateway. Which is absolutely AMAZING, because that is also the energy of the Uranus-North Node conjunction in Taurus! All of these cosmic forces are working together, guiding us to change, release old patterns, and welcome in new ways of living and being that will be more supportive of life, health, and wholeness.

The South Node in Scorpio

Here’s one more piece which is quite important for us in July, as Uranus and the North Node join together in Taurus. Opposite the Uranus + North Node conjunction, we have the South Node in Scorpio. So while Taurus is being quite activated this month, Scorpio is as well, by nature of being in the opposite Zodiac sign from all the activity. Remember that the North Node represents our future, the direction we are moving toward (for our highest evolution), and that which we need to bring into our lives.

On the other hand, the South Node represents the past, that which we need to move away from (for our highest evolution), and that which we need to release from our lives. And all of these Taurus transits (with Uranus, the North Node, and Mars) are opposing the sign of Scorpio. The Scorpio South Node is absolutely stripping us of all that is no longer aligned. This has been happening most strongly since November 2021, when we had the first eclipse on the Taurus-Scorpio axis, and will continue through June 2023.

Have a LOT of things fallen away from your life since November 2021? Take stock and really honor all that you have released. It would be wonderful to journal on what has fallen away, and to hold gratitude for how this has lightened you and helped you to become more aligned with your soul, even if the letting go was difficult. This falling away process is forcing us to release everything that holds the energy of the PAST, clearing out space, so we can welcome in all of the new things that are going to hold the energy of the FUTURE.

All of this is extremely deep. You will be changed & shifted so deeply by all of this in 2022, that when you look back a year from now (in mid to late 2023), you are going to recognize just how different & more highly evolved you have become.

Blessings for your potent evolutionary journey!
