We’re half way through the year! And what a year it’s been so far! July is all about intensity, identity, and change. This month is providing us with opportunities to evolve and grow into the being we were created to be. Participation in this change is the only option presented to us. Please use this time to create the life and world you want, now and in the future. This is not an idle month; it’s a month of directed action. Join organizations and groups of like-minded people and commit– work to bring about the changes our world so dearly needs. Our lives depend on it.

For All of Us:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.” Margaret Mead and Albert Einstein

“I love you, my sister and brother, whoever you are– whether you worship in your church, kneel in your temple or pray in your mosque. You and I are all children of one faith, for the diverse paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of one Supreme Being, a hand extended to all, offering completeness of spirit to all, eager to receive all.” Khalil Gibran

THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

You will receive a body. Like it or hate it, it’s the only thing you’re sure to keep the rest of your life. * You will learn lessons. You’re enrolled full time in “Life on Planet Earth” school.  You’re responsible for all of your actions and inactions. As you know better, you’ll do better. * There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. * A lesson is repeated until learned. It’s presented in various forms until you learn it, then you can go on to the next lesson. * If you don’t learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a reflection of your internal state. Pain is how the Universe gets your attention. * You’ll know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions and results change. Wisdom is a result of learning from your experiences.* Others are only mirrors of you. You can’t love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself. * What you make of your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas, you do the painting. * You always get what you want. Your subconscious determines what and whom you attract. The only way to know what you want is to see what you have and don’t have. * Your answers lie within you. You know more than you’ve heard, read or been told. Just look within and listen, trust and obey. * You will forget all this. * You can remember any time you want.

 

THE EMPEROR (March 21 – April 20) “Every beauty and greatness in this world is created by a single thought or emotion. Everything we see today, made by past generations, was, before its appearance a thought in the mind or an impulse in the heart. The supreme teachings that changed the course of humanity were the ideas of a person whose genius separated them from their environment.” Kahlil Gibran

THE EMPRESS (April 21 – May 20) “Knowledge and understanding are life’s faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you.  For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff; and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures.” Kahlil Gibran

THE LOVERS (May 21 – June 20) In keeping with the twin aspect of your sign, you have two quotes to ponder. “He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother.  For even your own kindred may neither understand you nor know your true worth.” Kahlil Gibran

And

“Know your own true worth and you shall not perish.” Universal

THE CHARIOT (June 21 – July 20) “All things in this creation exist within you, and all things in you exist within creation; there is no border between you and the closest things, and there is no distance between you and the farthest things, and all things from the lowest to the loftiest, are within you as equal things– in one aspect of you are found all the aspects of existence.” Kahlil Gibran

THE SUN (July 21 – August 22) “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.” Henry David Thoreau

THE HERMIT (August 23 – September 22) “We struggle to find life outside ourselves, unaware that the life we are seeking is within. The true light is that which emanates from within and reveals the secrets of the heart to the soul, making it happy and contented with life.” Universal

JUSTICE (September 23 – October 22) “This is the purpose of life– to get what you want. There are deeper things, but this is fun.” Karl Lagerfeld

THE MAGICIAN (October 23 – November 21“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they don’t find them– they make them.” G. B. Shaw

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE (November 22 – December 21) “Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course. God has given you a spirit with wings with which to soar. Use it to love and honor yourself.” Khalil Gibran

THE WORLD (December 22 – January 19) “It is enough simply to pay attention and trust the process: Whoever comes are the right people. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. When it starts, is the right time. When it’s over, it’s over.” The Daily Guru

THE STAR (January 20 – February 19) “A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.  Believing is a fine thing, but placing those beliefs into action is a test of strength and courage.” Universal

THE MOON (February 20 – March 20) “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”  Henry David Thoreau
