July is a Month to Strive for Balance
By Natalia Alba
We are already in a new energetic month. With this new month of July, we pass now from focusing on individuality, rebuilding our personal power, working on self-love and healing, to create balanced relationships, once that we have first created this same balance with ourselves. This month invites those who are ready to move into this new phase of their path, to begin co-creating in a new level with others, not just from a romantic perspective, but at all levels, as this is a month that for many will be all about reuniting and contacting, so they can create something that will benefit All.
This new month of July comes with a strong message of balance, wherever we look, as it is a universal number 2 – 11 reduced – reminds us. Although I know a master number it is not often reduced, I always do as guided or I will not be acting with integrity. As always do as guided, and take the essence, and message, of this month, that most resonates with you, and where you are in your journey.
11 represents unity, one that can only comes when we first act as integrated beings with no polarity, and all the abundant blessings that comes from it. However, it is not until we regain inner balance between both our masculine – The Magician – and the feminine – The Highest Priestess – and the proper co-operation with others, that we can begin the process of conscious co-creation, becoming authentic masters.
July comes with a strong message of balance, wherever we look, as it is a universal number 2. A number that as you know represents duality as well as the embrace of two opposites but equal aspects of Creation. The current energies may come from different sources. However, everything in Creation gives us the same message, no matter where we decide to focus. One of self-empowerment, feminine rising and embrace of its wisdom.
Number 2 holds a frequency of synergy, co-operation and integration. The feminine and harmonious vibration of number 2 is well represented in the tarot by the High priestess, sitting between the light and the darkness – represented by the two pillars of Solomon’s temple – as a passage to other realities and Higher knowledge.
We are indeed retrieving the lost essence of the feminine, without darkening the masculine. As we regain consciousness of our true origin and essence, which is always one meant to act through the power of love, we come back to commune more with our soul, reclaiming the memories that are not lost, but hidden within ourselves, due to the constant disempowerment suffered through eons.
At a cosmic level, we begin this month by having Saturn entering retrograde in Capricorn. Within a universal year 4, and with this year being ruled by Capricornian energies, this eclipse comes to reinforce the invitation for us to create strong foundations, in our relationships and all aspects of our life, revising the structures in which our lives are built, and begin to take responsibility for all that we have created, whether we keep resonating with it or not, for we are under a frequency of deep change in which we can always begin anew.
It is important to look at our lives pillars and begin to work on what we can do to shift what we no longer desire to experience. There is no real change in blaming others or lamenting ourselves for what we think we could have done better. Saturn invites us to bring our new desires and changes in the physical, where we can master our inner creator, and enjoy the outcomes that first our soul creates in the ethereal.
On July 5, we have another eclipse at 13 degrees Capricorn. These series of eclipses will help us to bring into form our soul creations, and what is more important: to create stability in ourselves and lives. Capricorn is the perfect partner of Cancer for its masculine essence resonates well with the feminine one of Cancer, giving us the opportunity not just to heal but to remember how important is to descend from the ethereal our visions and dreams to create an abundant life experience.
This is going to be an eclipse that is going to help many to heal the distorted masculine, in a month where the balance between both energies are going to be very present, so we can finally find harmony between both and create from this unified space.
As this eclipse is influenced by Mercury and Uranus, it will invite us to put what we create into our mental plane into the earthly one. However, by first having the proper balance and connection that help us in making our soul desires tangible. For by our own we cannot truly experience this reality, as we are here to co-create, and assist each other’s .
On July 7, just a few days after the eclipse, whose energies will continue during months, we have Ceres, whose essence is feminine, as a sign of the perfect balance that the universe always has and offers us, to work on feminine integration, as we too continue working on healing our masculine essence, and use it to manifest outcomes that are aligned with our soul.
Ceres retrograde in Pisces, is an invitation for us to work on creating more self-love, as it is from this same love that our lives are built. It is when we finally see us as being love that abundance, nurturing, and all the feminine attributes emerge, for we have finally understand our limitless nature, and master our egoic tendency to sabotage our manifestations, as it feels unworthy and limited.
This is also a good period to work on our mother wounds and everything related to how we sustain and take care of ourselves. Familiar issues can also arise, and with them the opportunity to heal them. During this time, for those who have already work on these main issues, it is also a good time as it dwells in Pisces, to work on the conscious expansion of their non-physical senses.
The healing work that we may have to do at this time, will be assisted by Chiron also retrograde on July 11. And while Ceres has a more feminine essence, Chiron, especially in Aries, has a more masculine one. Again, we are seeing how this month brings infinite opportunities for us to set a balance between both, as well as the many imbalances that we may have accumulated for years regarding both essences.
With Chiron we look deeper at the wounds/aspects of ourselves that we try so hard to hide but are still dwelling, in pain, within us. When we consciously desire to align with the frequency of a certain Planet, star or asteroid, if well directed we can connect with the consciousness of this certain stellar body and integrate its healing frequency to assist us in dissolving what is still fragmented and that is not allowing us to experience our true soul path and potential.
Chiron in Aries is about working with the aspect of us that is empowered. So, it is a good moment to work on self-acceptance and worth, traumatic wounds referring to that, as well as any other ones that may come into the surface. What is important is that we recognize, without fears, the pain that continues to be hidden, and waiting to be embraced.
The next day, for those who resonate with retrogrades, as I always say, for as you know I do not really focus or foment this illusion, Mercury will turn direct, again. As this month is an important one for inner work and communing with our soul, for those who choose to focus on this, will be a good energy to help them quieten their minds and working on dissolving old programs and issues of communication.
As you all probably know, to me whether retrograde or direct, these periods have no impact on my personal human experience, as I have shared many times, so to me the Essence of Mercury, whether retrograde or not, makes no difference. As always, take what best resonates for you.
On July 20, we have another Moon at 28 degrees Cancer. This New Moon is again increasing the feminine healing energies that this new month brings for all who need to work on feminine healing. As you know, nothing ever happens without a purpose, this is why I emphasize so much on feminine healing, for this double, and rare, New Moon, will not often happen, and it is a supportive essence for those who need to expand on this type of healing.
This Moon offers us strength and the opportunity to take some time to nurture and love ourselves in the midst of all the eclipse turmoil, so we can move into the next energetic month, which will soothe ourselves after these intense energies, and that will continue to be there for us to work with them for a while, helping us comprehend all that has occurred while we were between worlds, shaping our new lives and letting all go, so we can begin, again.
On July 22, the Sun will enter into Leo. With the Sun in Leo we can embody this fervent essence to empower ourselves and to express our hearts by standing firm in who we are and by expressing our unique Divine Spark, at a time when freedom and the right to express ourselves is essential. As always, Leo’s essence simply Is, this energy by itself is not positive or negative – it is what we decide to do with it.
If we direct this frequency properly, we could be courageous and bold in following our own path. On the contrary, an excess of this fiery frequency could lead us into arrogance, which is why balance, as always, is the key, to be able to discern for ourselves if we are using these energies for self-empowerment or just for our egoic desires to feel superior.
We end the month by having Jupiter sextile Neptune on July 27. Now that we are immersed in a profound transformation, this combination gives us the opportunity to shift our perception, to have a higher understanding on our world as well as ourselves and to begin seeing things from a more compassionate level.
Change our belief systems, programs and expand into healing and a higher way of loving is what this essence is going to invite us to do, at a time when we precisely are searching peace, and above all to evolve as an unified specie. Jupiter helps us to expand on our compassionate and intuitive nature, while Neptune helps us to dissolve old ones, so we can embrace a new and more illumined, stay of being.
July is a month to strive for balance, in ourselves, relationships and in all the new creations that we are building in our earthly plane. To do so, first the harmony between all the aspects of us that co-create together to manifest, shall be perfectly unified, for it is precisely when they merge that the creations that we so desire to experience and enjoy, can occur.
We have the constant opportunity to tap into the wisdom of our soul, retrieve its infinite experience and guidance and use it to expand ourselves towards our new destination and towards of being in service in new ways. The opportunity to step into a new reality is always there for those who do not fear what could possibly happen, if we finally choose to have the courage to move on from what limited us.
As always, the choice is yours to make. There will be always a door opened for you to cross it and experience new ways of living, a way to conquer your fears and embrace your true potential. Yes, there will be always a way, if of course first there is a will.
Have a blessed month, Beloveds 
In love and light
