Em-Power Days, July 2010
July brings the balm our embattled spirits are thirsting for since we are being given cosmic permission now to go ahead and shed our worries alongside our clothes. Clear and cloudless skies ahead and I mean that in every proverbial sense. We get a brief and sunshiny respite from the swelter and the swagger of that giant planetary cross forming high in the summer skies and all the attendant astro madness it’s dripping down upon us. Mayhem promises to begin anew as July bids adieu, but, for most of this month, the fireworks should only be taking place in parks and over beaches across a celebratory and freedom ringing nation! If you got ‘em, go ahead and light ‘em because July promises to be smokin’ but in mostly easy and good ways! Now that’s hot! (To find out more about this month’s SUPER STELLAR DAY, July 11, sign up for our monthly newsletter at www.ellenwhitehurst.com and be among the Empowered Elite to get that secret information!)
JULY 1 - Mercury that mercurial messenger is whispering sweet nothings to excited and inspirational Mars as they join forces to bring more enthusiastic and optimistic news to you. Forget about all the dreaming, today’s energies promise that if you can THINK it you can do it. Think your head off and then use that same cranium for this ancient exercise; imagine that you are pulling a periscope up and out through the top of your head until it’s a good foot above you. Now, from this height, look around and observe your environment and your external world. This will not only lend you an entirely different perspective it will pepper you with new ideas and inspirations as well. And THAT’S what today is ALL about. Up, up and away with the old. Full steam ahead with the new! Uh huh, I THOUGHT you’d like that!
JULY 4 - No astro energies today but I thought I’d just spill a bit about what Feng Shui has to say about fireworks. We likey! We likey lots and lots. They banish negative energies while also opening the way for opportunity and luck. Faux fireworks, when hung in the FAME area (see HYPERLINK “http://www.ellenwhitehurst.com” www.ellenwhitehurst.com to locate that same spaces) promises to bring IMMEDIATE reward and recognition for all of your efforts. Feng Shui says hanging fireworks in the FAME area can bring just the blast you need to rocket your reputation. Engines firing. Houston, we have take off.
JULY 5 - Uranus going retrograde today but we want to keep Mister Unpredictability on our side, so, let’s take a page out of Caroline Casey’s book especially and particularly if you are an Aquarian since Uranus affects your sign the most! Remove the TOWER card from any tarot deck and keep it somewhere where you can see if for the next few days. Allow the symbols on that card to permeate your conscious and your subconscious. Gaze on this image frequently throughout the day. And all the while think about how willing you are to allow the winds of change to blow through your life with ease and grace. Give those same winds permission to pick you up and carry you through hardship and challenge before gingerly putting you back down in a garden of happiness. After a few days, put the card back in the deck and be assured that the next energetic hand you’re dealt will be all aces! You’re in the chips now!
JULY 8 - Venus, the planet of love and beauty is opposing nebulous Neptune today which means it’s time to get your GLAM ON! Glamour is the order of this day! So get it on and then go ahead and take it out strutting with a big ole swagger pulling up the rear. Literally. And don’t forget to wear some ‘Come See Me’ oil as a body perfume. To a quarter cup of almond oil add five drops of patchouli oil and one of cinnamon. Additionally, smear this on a white candle that has a photo, picture or image of your ideal mate sitting somewhere next to it. Light the candle and as it burns down visualize and intend that your perfect partner will easily and effortlessly stroll into your life. Then put some on your pulse points and take your glam self out and about. Swagga! I mean, who couldn’t love you now?
JULY 9 - Mercury sextiling Saturn making everyone else want to reach out and hold hands today too! Resolutions and accords all over the place. Once Mercury smoothes things over with Saturn he enters Leo while trining Uranus..someone take the Red Bull away from Mercury will ya? What does all this mean? Go ahead and sign papers today. Or act on one of your revolutionary ideas. No better month to act on something revolutionary than July right? A bright lamp burning in the CENTER of the house has the same effect as if you’d gone ahead and fully activated your FIRE element (psssssttt…think FAME!) This lamp should be turned on daily. Then you can be sure that you will be too.
JULY 10 - Venus enters Virgo while the Sun sextiles Mars…good times, good times. In fact, even better than that. Get ready for all your best laid plans to turn mice into men Cinderella style. Or something like that. There’s magic in the air today so let’s aid and abet with Albrecht’s magical square:
16 3 2 13
5 10 11 8
9 6 7 12
4 15 14 1
Use it or lose it. The magic that is.
JULY 11 - SUPER STELLAR DAY. You know what to do. Hit the link in the newsletter. What? You don’t get the newsletter???? Silly. Sign up here: www.ellenwhitehurst.com and never be without your Super Stellar info again!
JULY 13 - Venus trines Pluto. It’s all about being beautifully and radiantly healthy today. In fact, I think Florence Shinn said it better than I EVER could. And now you should say it too. Nine times in the morning when you wake up. And again at noon. And, finally, again before you go to sleep. For nine days straight. Because……..
“I am nourished by the Spirit within. Every cell in my body is filled with light. I give thanks for radiant health and endless happiness.”
JULY 21 - Saturn reentering Libra again. Where it will remain until October 2012. Saturn’s lessons in Libra won’t be quite so harsh. Hooray. But just in case, hang a metal windchime to the left of your front door as you look at it from the street. C’mon, I said just in case.
JULY 22 - Sun enters Leo and then sextiles Saturn. A collective and cosmic sign, um, I mean, sigh, of relief. Serenity, security, stability and comfort. If I didn’t know better I’d think THIS was the Super, duper Stellar day of this month. Bathe in these glorious energies. No, literally. Take a bath. Pour a cup of boiling water over one heaping teaspoon of dried basil and let stand until the water cools. Add this infusion to a bath and remove any existing negative emotions and/or energies while inviting luck and prosperity to come by and set a spell. No, literally. Set. A spell. Abbracadabra. And boo!
JULY 23 - Another terrific day! YAY! Sun trines Uranus at 0 degrees Aries so, of course good news is on its way. What else could that planetary pairing possibly mean? PREPARE. It’s coming. Put some birdseed up your walkway or images of red birds in the FAME area of your house! Birds bring good news. So does this day! Enjoy!
JULY 24 - Jupiter squaring off against Pluto and asking you to step back and take a closer look at a long term goal/project/plan/dream etc. Review. Revise. Polish. And don’t forget that ancient Hawaiian Huna technique of sending waves of pink and violet love from your heart to the project you hold so dear. Definitely makes a difference. And, now, everyone else will love it just as much as you do. That was easy.
JULY 26 - Sun trines Jupiter and you know when these two get together that optimism, enthusiasm, inspiration and good fortune can’t be too far behind. Although Mercury opposing Neptune nags you not to sign anything important those former energies shouldn’t stop you from dreaming about signing something important. Because a miracle is about to occur that will predicate you to sign something important. Be expectant. And grateful, grateful, grateful. In fact, think about something you’d like to sign on for and then write it as if it’s already happened with gratitude and love. I am so grateful that my house has sold at the price I asked. Or something like that. Start off with an ‘I AM’ instead of putting that affirm at the end like Will. Write this affirmative statement 49 affirmative times and sign your name. Put into safekeeping for 49 days and then burn. Burn. Notice. Miracles. I am positive.
JULY 30 - Oh crap. Mars opposes Uranus. And the rockets red glare. F-bombs bursting in air. How did Key forget about tempers flaring too? You won’t. Not today anyway. Keep in on the DL if you know what’s good for you. And keep a ceramic cup of sea salt on the kitchen counter to absorb and creeping crap heading your way. Refresh after 30 days while disposing of the negativity anywhere OUTSIDE your house. You know, the same one you’ll be holing up inside today.
JULY 31 - Mars conjoins Saturn. STILL proceeding with caution. Soon enough that Cosmic Cross is going to start shooting at all of us again. Ahhh, it was nice while it lasted. Take cover. Protect. Put a feather (that you find personally) on the perimeter of your entryway door. Protect. And serve. Give to others. Protect. And serve.
