Welcome July
Yin/Yang – Self Reflection and Contemplation
July’s energy carries another powerful vibe, one of two halves. With several planets, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron all going retrograde and Uranus continuing to be disruptive there is a sense of stillness which invites us to turn our attention inwards for answers and direction.
As I sat with my guides, they shared with me the image of the Hanged Man, a tarot card representing inner reflection, a soul journey and time in silence to ‘contemplate’. So true with the timings of these planets as they move across our sky.
I was given the word ‘transgressing’ which I had to look up and it means an act that goes against the law or conduct – sitting in the energy of this, I believe July will be a month where situations come to a head and truth is revealed. Uranus bringing chaos but liberation and awakenings. This may seem scary but without the duality of light and dark – yin and yang, the truth can’t be exposed. This uncovering ultimately does us a favour and help us to follow the light. Once more the Hermit card in the tarot springs to mind as the Fool is guided out of darkness.
However, I said there are two halves, what I was shown was a bird of paradise, his bright feathers attracting positivity (or a female) as he conducts his magical, enticing dance. This energy symbolises that the month is not all gloomy, but we emerge powerful in our beliefs, stronger and happier. We grow our wings to find the opportunity to fly and with this liberating freedom or self-discovery, we too can manifest what our heart and soul desires. Ask yourself – ‘What will we allow into our being?’
Look at rituals, traditions or daily practices to support the rough and the smooth of July and know that whatever area is being brought to light, trust spirit have orchestrated it for our soul growth.
Align with the Moon
Luna energy is powerful, it moves tides, so seeing the human body is made up of 55-78% of water, the moon can stir us in many ways, emotionally. In a similar fashion to the rhythmic tides of the ocean, these highs and lows can mimic our moods. Just as the tides roll in, they ebb, drawing back, similar to our emotions during the moon phases. Full or new moons can be super-charged times for humans. From the brightness of the full moon which illuminates us, to the dark shadow side of the new moon where we can occasionally find ourselves either hiding or withdrawing from the world. Either way, the moon phases reflect our inner emotions, being aware of these will certain help to navigate how we feel and interact.
In a nutshell, Full Moons are a time of completion. So, during this phase, we need to be looking back with gratitude, celebrating what has already come to light and releasing fear, letting go. New Moon phases are opposite, it calls for us to manifest with clear intentions. Like a seed germinating in the dark soil, fertile with nutrition, it has the right ingredients to spark life, grow with every intention to fulfil potential. It is an exciting phase of hope.
Full Moon in Capricorn – brings a wonderful sense of rebalancing energy. Sometimes we have to surrender control and learn from the lessons life teaches us and listen intuitively to the whispers which are subtle but obvious once you have paid attention.
During this phase, dare to believe that there is more to life… patiently await for the green light to advance.

News
Whilst walking the other day I stumbled, quite literally upon a stray tortoise. The sun was blazing and because he was by a busy road, heading into the fields, I knew I needed to carry him to safety. My youngest son, an animal lover, helped me to put him in a box with some bedding, a tomato, salad leaves and some water to keep him safe. Later I took him to the vets to try to find his owner … his owners still haven’t been found, so we may have a new addition to our family – not sure what my dog and 2 cats will make of him though!
But that has got me thinking about signs .. what does a tortoise mean spiritually? I was definitely meant to find him that day, whether he becomes a pet or not, his message was clear.
Time to slow down and to put yourself first. Enjoy your surroundings, noticing the scenery, nature and take a detour if necessary. Pay attention to your energy, the shifting sensations in your body as they resonate energetically with the Earth. Eat a more vegetarian diet (I have been a vegetarian since I was 15) and move more slowly through life in general discovering the wisdom that is presented to you, that you’d miss if you race around!.
What great advice Tortoise .. hope you too can work with these encouraging words of wisdom.
Incidentally, I have had a connection for a long while now with turtles (sea cousins of the tortoise) and their message is similar, nurture yourself, observe your energy, spend time in solitude and because you are extra sensitive to the Earth’s energies, shield yourself by putting protection around you.
Both animals suggest a fertile time and we all know that we find the answers in stillness, when we hear, see or feel spirit’s whispers more clearly.
If you are looking for some spiritual direction this springtime, you can order my book on Amazon – details of both below.

Crystal of the Month
This month I want to introduce you the loving Petalite
‘The Stones of Angels’
Often confused with a rose quartz, this gentle crystal brings a tranquil energy which fills us with hope, healing and love. Holding this crystal asks us to open up for self-healing as we are often too critical of ourselves. Petalite oozes a gentle strength to encourage us to connect with our spiritual evolution. It enhances our spiritual communication to the Angel Realms and the ancient Earth energies to awaken our Kundalini energy, supporting the awakening of our senses.
If you are on your spiritual journey, this is the perfect crystal to connect with whilst opening up and stepping into you timely ‘awakening’ with love, compassion and protection.
Colour Wisdom
Apart from the wonderful scent the plant lavender gives us, the colour beholds many healing properties too.
For centuries, colour has been used to help improve mood and well-being as colour or chromotherapy as it is known as, can influence physical and emotional states in our energy. Colour naturally emits specific frequencies and wavelengths and with the optimum light quotation and hue, it will help treat mental health.
Lavender brings us a sense of serenity, calmness, grace and purity. It is a spiritual colour which boosts connectivity and oneness.
Pay attention to the shades of lavender (or indeed any colour) as this will affect the positive outcome, with darker shades being stronger and lighter shades softer. Overall, with the colour and scent, lavender is a truly beautiful and relaxing hue to invite into your life for peace.
What I am offering in July
1:1 Readings – Guidance, reassurance, love and healing - this is how I would describe my readings. During the reading I will connect you with your loved ones in the Spirit World, bringing through evidential evidence and sharing messages of love, hope, understanding and guidance.
Past Life Regression - Finding out who you have been in a Past Life is not only interesting but can help you identify repetitive emotional and behavioural patterns, it could be the reason you are attracted to certain people (positive and negative) or could be the reason you are feeling blocked in your current situation.
Past Life Regression can be an amazing revelation, helping you to understand who you are and the lessons you have learnt along the way. It can bring wisdom and the realisation to set free any Karma you no longer need to hold on to.
Bespoke Spiritual Guidance for working mediums - If you are a working medium and have hit some blocks or stumbles along the way and are possibly questioning your gifts, then maybe a session to ‘untangle’ and get re-aligned is what you need. Maybe you simply want to develop and strengthen your gifts and prefer to do this under 1:1 supervision.
Soul Healing – I offer a range of healing modalities from Reiki, Rahanni, crystal and spiritual. Each are wonderfully beneficial for the mind, body (physical) and soul.
Collective Healing – With the amazing benefits of ‘Collective Healing,’ healing together boosts the wonderful energy making it stronger and more powerful. Our weekly gathering of beautiful souls joins together in sending healing to many people in need of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual healing.
Mini Demonstrations – I am now offering mini demonstrations for up to 5 people (minimum of 3) in your own home.
If you have anyone who you wish to add to my healing list, please do send me their name and I will include them in my daily practice along with the weekly practice.
