July is another eclipse month. We begin the journey on July 2 with a solar eclipse in Cancer. This eclipse is positively aspected in a number of ways; it wants to bring friends and family together and allows for a release of negative emotions and a redefinition of what is “home.”
A lunar eclipse on the 16th makes each of us reflect over the past six months. What have you learned? What has changed in your life? What is next as you move forward into the unknown? While eclipses herald endings and beginnings, they also indicate death and rebirth. Sometimes during eclipses you feel as if you are on shaky ground. This month is going to shake your sense of security. Events can happen suddenly and out of the blue.

The Three of Feathers card welcomes in the wisdom to understand and accept your personal responsibility to your actions and choices. You are not a victim to your circumstances. You are not helpless, nor adrift in a stormy sea. You are taking a look at what has robbed you of your choices.
And the answer to that is—your past.Your past clings to you and trips you up as you attempt to move forward. You are being asked to look into the darkness (like an owl), allow your eyes to adjust and see from a clear position rather than the illusion of confusion.The Seven of Rainbows says you will face many decisions that need to be made. Many options cause confusion. But the answer is a simple one: Choose from your heart and from a place that allows for the possibility of the greatest good for all.The Justice card indicates an obvious divide between the laws of humans and sacred laws. There seems to be the rule of cruelty rather than the rule of justice. Justice (true justice) does not prey on the hopes and fears of others but attempts to restore balance. You cannot have respect in the world if you do not respect the rights of others. It becomes clear this month that the unconscious world, the everyday world, and the world of inspiration are out of sync. In such a state, the true sense of justice cannot be found. This is noticeable and can cause despair.

Awareness is growing that there’s a loss of control. Faith fails and breakdown happens. Husband your resources; do not spread yourself too thin. You can become ineffective and burdened by your commitments.
Elements previously concealed may be revealed. Self-deception collapses in the face of facts. You become concerned that you do not know what to trust. All things seem to be destabilizing. This month we look at the nature of human violence, ambition, struggle, conflict, anger and hatred. We are forced to look at where the roots of these behaviors originate from. Once these dark energies take control, it is difficult to find how to move them into constructive formats. Some will get on this dark train and choose to never get off.
