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.

Crystals serve as conduits to enhance our consciousness and our healing. They connect with us to help accelerate our growth, grounding us, and granting access to energies or talents that might otherwise elude us. It is important to recognize that we do not need crystals to recognize empowerment, clarity, or healing - the energy already resides within you.

Crystals are a mineral-rich living object that hold a certain structure and vibrate at a consistent frequency. When we attune to the frequency in which they vibrate, we are able to align our energy fields to tap into or harness those energies.

Utilize crystals as a resource, a gift that you get to choose to work with. They allow you to work with your consciousness and belief: “I believe and trust this crystal has these attributes and vibrations”. It’s not about giving your power away - it’s about the crystals enhance, attune, awaken, remember and activate cells within your DNA that you are not conscious of.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on working with crystals:

1. Set Intentions and Communicate:

When you acquire a crystal, express gratitude and intention:

- Thank you for coming home with me

- Thank you for finding me

- I’m glad to have you

Hard-wire your intention immediately:

- May we work together for the greatest good, highest light, and evolution

- As I work with you, may optimal healing unfold

1. Clear and Cleanse Your Crystal

- Use salt water or a salt bath (avoid for any salt-based crystals)

- Employ sage or palo santo to clear its energy

- Rinse the crystal and place it in the sunlight or moonlight for recharging

1. Meditate with Your Crystal

- Hold the crystal in your right hand

- Sit outdoors, play meditation music, and allow energy exchange

- Note: the left side of your body absorbs energy, while the right side emits it

1. Research and Learn

- Explore CrystalVaults.com for metaphysical and healing properties

- Write your learnings down

1. Organically Attune to Frequencies and Energies

- Follow your intuition in wearing the crystal, placing it on your body, or in your home

- Journal your experience & remember there’s no right or wrong- tune into nature’s wisdom

1. Monthly Recharge

- Choose an intentional date to cleanse and clear their energy

- Create a ritual - put them under the new or full moon, or do it on the solstice, your birthday, the first of the month

1. Embrace Breakage

- If a crystal breaks, it signifies a breakthrough, healing, or completion: the work is done

- Thank the stone and meditate to review what you’ve learned or healed through your work together

1. Respect Nature

- Always seek permission before taking a stone from its natural habitat

- Listen to your intuitive answer and honor its history and energy

Remember, crystals enhance intuition and creativity, harmonizing the brain’s hemispheres as you utilize your reasoning and logic along with it. Enjoy the magical, exciting journey of working with them!

We're hurtling towards July, the year's halfway mark. It feels like a whirlwind – so much has happened, yet time seems to stand still. It's not about dwelling on the past or rushing into the future- it's about understanding where you are now and charting your course forward. Amanda’s 2024 Numerology Guidebook can guide you in reviewing the past six months.

The number 6, associated with July in numerology, signifies nurturing and taking responsibility. It's also a reminder to let go of negativity like regret, remorse, and resentment. Be mindful of your feelings and how they manifest in your body. You might take criticism or rejection more personally this month. Combat the potential burnout of July by slowing down, being present, and prioritizing self-care. Communicate your needs openly and honestly & don't take on others' burdens without being asked. This is a month for subtraction, not addition.

Ask yourself: "Did I take care of myself today?" Schedule decompression time – relax, unwind, and focus on self-nurture. Be gentle, kind, and loving towards yourself. Use a feelings chart to identify your emotions and their physical sensations. Become hyper-aware of your mind, body,and spirit.

The Cancer New Moon on July 5th fosters intimacy. Plan a cozy night in with your loved ones – a home-cooked meal, poolside relaxation, or simply curling up with a good book. Focus on creating a safe and nurturing environment during this month. This is a great time for forgiveness, especially regarding past traumas that hindered your growth.

Pay attention to your dreams this month. Dreams help us process our subconscious. Analyze the mood, objects, and your overall feelings within the dream. Before bed, sip water with the intention of remembering your dreams. Upon waking, take another sip and record your dreams in a journal to understand their hidden messages.

This year's erratic energy is about to shift. Slow down and cultivate a nurturing dialogue with yourself. This strengthens your inner voice and builds your point of attraction. Practice small, inconsequential intuitive exercises to hone this muscle. Be clear and present in your "now." If something feels overwhelming, politely decline or delegate.

This month is a turning point. Don't let frustration fester. Use it as a springboard for positive change. Take direct action to address what's bothering you. Where can you be seen? It's time to claim your personal sovereignty. Acknowledge your worth and accomplishments.

Remember, breakthroughs often happen when you least expect them. Embrace the journey, prioritize self-care, and trust the power of your intuition. July may be elusive, but it's also a month brimming with potential for growth and transformation.

The combination of the Summer Solstice on June 20th, a full moon in Capricorn, and Saturn and Neptune both standing still in Pisces, is creating a potent mix of energies for the next few weeks. We might feel disoriented, off-kilter, unsettled, delusional or divisive. Our emotions could cloud our judgment, making it hard to see things clearly.

There is something being activated within us that is unresolved - deep, karmic challenges, fears, wounding, suffering, or disease that are bubbling up to the surface. It’s time to courageously face these fears: What is not resolved within you that if you were to face, would give you the release, freedom, clarity and courage to do the healing work that’s needed? How are you limiting your destiny?

This is a turning point in the year. Change is inevitable, and the energy for the next 30 days provides an invitation to adapt and evolve. We might feel a strong urge to escape, but the key is to lean into our intuition and trust ourselves.

The unusual planetary alignments might make us feel like we've lost our usual intuitive nudges. Don't give up! Instead, see it as an opportunity to fine-tune our inner compass and learn to listen to the subtler signals from the universe. The key to navigating this intense period is to find stillness within ourselves. By quieting our minds and bodies, we can better understand the messages being sent our way.

The Summer Solstice, on June 20th under the sign of Cancer, is a powerful time to listen to yourself and your soul. Create sacred space to honor the moment: take a bath, light a candle, do an epsom salt clearing, meditate or journal. Spend quality time in communion with yourself to reconnect with your true nature and rediscover the small moments that truly bring you happiness.

The full moon in Capricorn, following the solstice, is a time to take action on the insights we've gained. It's about mastering our energy and expressing ourselves authentically in the world: What are you getting clear around internally, and how are you taking action to express it externally?

The period between June 20th and July 21st is potent for growth and transformation. We may be reevaluating limitations and making big decisions to level up. Take healthy action, show up, be accountable - but surrender the results to the universe.

Remember, you are not alone in this. There are tools and resources available to help you navigate this intense, but ultimately transformative, period. Find your stillness, listen to your inner voice, and embrace the changes coming your way.

During your personal growth journey, you’ll encounter moments of disconnection—times when you feel detached or out of body. These are akin to spiritual growth spurts, as your entire being realigns and recalibrates. Know that everything is interconnected, so when you feel a physical ailment, search for the meaning in it (a great resource to check out is The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases by Jacques Martel).

Consider that disease might be your higher self’s way of getting your attention. When faced with suffering or pain, ask yourself:

- How can I extend grace to myself?

- What lessons lie within the experience?

- What deeper meaning can I extract?

Translate your pain into profound understanding; your higher self reaches down to lift you up, and reinvigorate your spirit. You are resilient, strong, and capable.

When you have a big decision in life; a karmic juncture presenting itself to you and it feels like a call to action in your soul, there is no “right” or “wrong” decision to be made. Take notice:

- Does it feel aligned?

- Do you feel resistance?

- Does it feel like you will be denying a part of your soul if you choose one option or the other?

Sometimes you aren’t ready to change your behavior or take the leap, and we find ourselves taking karmic turns that drain our life force. These repetitions serve as important lessons, to help reinforce alignment with our heart’s desires.

When you’re in a heightened emotional state, it can be difficult for your higher self to get through, so your higher self communicates through other people’s sound, clear judgment - people who can get your attention when your higher self can’t connect with you directly. When you hear the message that needs to be delivered to you (no matter where it comes from) your whole body registers it and you’ll feel the wisdom, clarity, and truth, from your higher self coming through.

Recognize the signatures of your higher self. Create code words, symbols, or signals to establish a playful connection. Turn skepticism into curiosity, allowing unseen truths to emerge. Working with your higher self expands your soul and enriches your life. Follow its call—it leads to a more blissful existence.

As you prioritize your happiness, your love and joy ripple outward, impacting the world around you. Your well-being matters, not just to you but to others as well. Your higher self is always there to pull you up higher and brighter but your job is to reach, ask, and pull it down into your reality.

Ready to connect deeper with your higher self? Join The Conscious Collective by Soul Pathology, a 6-month program designed to help you put your innate gifts into action! Learn more about this mentorship experience led by Amanda as your spiritual guide - kicking off July 1st - at SoulPathology.com.
