On today’s episode, Amanda dives into the energy for the second half of July and talks about the upcoming Capricorn Full Moon on July 21st!

The recurrence of the Capricorn Full Moon this month emphasizes the importance of deep reflection and learning. Capricorn is about taking responsibility, determination, strength, and reclaiming personal sovereignty and agency. Listen back to Summer Solstice, Capricorn Full Moon, and Facing Your Fears and reflect on what you have achieved the past month. What fears have you faced? Where have you grown? Where has your perspective shifted?

The 8 numerology of 2024 is starting to pick up momentum; remember that July's 6 energy, combined with the 8-year, intensifies emotions and service-oriented tendencies. Level up your emotional intelligence and resilience by challenging negative thought patterns and the "you should," "need to," and "have to" rhetoric whenever it comes up for you. Notice what kind of disease or disruption it creates in your body.

Set intentions at 6:17am ET on July 21st (at the exact moment or shortly after) the Full Moon is in Capricorn. Let go of anything that is creating a power struggle in your life. Where can you recognize and eliminate power dynamics within yourself, your relationships, or your environment? Where can you take practical action around something you’ve been putting off? Exercise your empowerment and responsibility and feel the satisfaction of a job well done.

The coming months will be energetically intense. Take time to slow down, breathe, gather facts, and trust your wisdom. The second half of 2024 is a pivotal time for reclaiming personal agency and sovereignty. Where do you feel seen? Who recognizes you? Where do you feel most comfortable being yourself?

Focus on taking action, setting intentions, and cultivating inner peace and get ready to level up in the months ahead!

Astrology Calendar:

• July 20 Mars enters Gemini: Brings assertive communication. Combined with Jupiter in Gemini, this period emphasizes thoughtful expression and fact-checking. Slow down, breathe, and trust your wisdom.
• July 21 Capricorn Full Moon: Presents an opportunity to set intentions and release power struggles.Foster mindfulness and avoid judgmental thinking.
• July 22 Sun transitions into Leo: Infuses energy with playfulness and creativity. Incorporate joy and whimsy into daily life.
• July 25 Mercury enters Virgo: Highlights the importance of practical tasks and planning
• July 26 Chiron retrograde in Aries: May trigger ego-related challenges. Reassess personal agency and authority.
