AFFIRMATION
Being true to yourself is what really counts, and this year I am putting that first.
CELEBRATE JULY 4TH AS WE HONOR THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA!
MEDITATION
A LIVING PRESENCE
I remain locked within the wings
Of my Beloved Master.
Held in the arms of Spirit’s
everywhereness,
Listening to His symphony of creation
Beholding the hidden wondrous vision.
Yet not oblivious to all of you
I watch your movements with a single eye.
I behold you with mothering tenderness,
As you walk with life through the tall grass
Smelling the crimson rose with delight.
When the blush of love brings you pleasure
I feel you caressed with an enfolding breeze.
To relieve your worries and fears
You will be enwrapped in the sun’s warmth
When the chill of lonliness strays into your heart.
When you gaze at the ocean wave
You look into the eyes of God.
Unite with your Beloved on the altar
of the Horizon
Canopied with the silver rays of azure
Come into the warm, hazy sanctuary.
He shall not speak except through your reason,
Not scold except through your conscience.
Be persuaded through the power of your Love
And your heart’s longing to seek the Spirit only
With the song of your Soul,
enjoy His Love alone.
Forget me watching if you will
But not my Beloved.
For in remembering Him – you cannot forget me!
—Elizabeth Joyce 3.21.94
May God grant me Health, Protection, and Guidance.
The Sun has entered CANCER
Cancer, the first water sign, is the phase for personality integration and building an inspired home base in the world. Take the fiery independence of Aries, the fierce dedication of Taurus, the effervescent thinking of Gemini and weave them into a firm foundation for individual fulfillment. Represented by the armored Crab and the agile Cat, this sign reminds you to be shrewd and tenacious and to keep clawing your way to success. Old memories, a sense of history, and family heritage provide a solid background for you to face the future with confidence. As you dispel the clouds of moodiness and emotional vulnerability, trust your feelings and your decision-making process and watch your psychic sensitivity grow in the process. A maternal, nurturing manner can be a comforting gift to relatives and colleagues over the Independence Holiday weekend.
July’s key aspects bring the time for you to enjoy your life and express your inner child. Mars visits Leo from June 11th through July 29th. These two months traditionally are associated with happy times such as vacations, weddings, graduations, and reunions. You can expect exciting things to occur in the areas in your life highlighted by transiting Mars. When this planet is in a Fire Sign (Leo), you often feel the urge to take the initiative to move forward and get things done in that area of your birth chart.

ANIMAL: THE SPIDER — Weaving
Spider…weaving waves of delight,
Weave me a peaceful world.
Carrying creation in your web,
Waiting to be unfurled!
Spider wove the web that brought humans the first picture of the alphabet. The letters were part of the angles in her web.
Deer asked Spider what she was weaving and why all the lines looked like symbols. Spider replied, “Why Deer, it is time for the Earth’s children to learn to make records of their progress in their Earth Walk.” Deer answered Spider, “But they already have pictures that show through symbols the stories of their experiences.” “Yes,” Spider said, “But the Earth’s children are growing more complex, and their future generations will need to know more. The ones to come will not remember how to read the petro glyphs.”
So it was that Spider wove the first primordial alphabet, as she had woven the dream of the world that had become manifest. Spider’s dream of the physical world had come to fruition millions of years before.
Spider’s body is made like the number eight, consisting of two lobe parts connected at the waist, and eight legs. Spider is the symbol for the infinite possibilities of creation. Her eight legs represent the four winds of change and the four directions on the medicine wheel.
Spider weaves the webs of fate for those who get caught in her web and become her dinner. This is similar to humans who get caught in the web of illusion in the physical world, and never see beyond the horizon into the other dimensions.
The web of fate also represents a wheel of life, which does not include any alternatives or solutions. It is typically human to get caught in the polarity of good or bad fortune without realizing that we can change it at any time. If we are not decisive enough about changing our lots in life, we may end up being consumed by our fears and limitations.
Spider is the female energy of the creative force that weaves the beautiful designs of life. Her web had hundreds of intricate patterns which catch the morning dew.
Spider has dropped in during the month of July and the Cancer energies of 2021. She may be telling you to create, create, create! Look for new alternatives for your present impasse. She can also be warning you that you are coming into an entangling situation. Spider could be asking you to use a journal to write out and review your progress. If you do this, you will not forget how you are creating a new or different phase in your life.
Spider brings a message of a different kind when she sees you becoming a bit too involved in the weaving of your life plans to notice opportunities at the outskirts of your web. If this is the case, Spider gets your attention so that you notice something you have woven or created has borne fruit. Congratulations! Spider caught you just in time, before you missed the opportunity at the edge of your web or reality.
The most important message from Spider is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave patterns of life and living throughout time. When enduring hard times, do not fail to see the expansiveness of the eternal plan!

RUNE of the Month – URUZ
Man — Womanhood — A Wild Ox
STRENGTH
This is the Rune of termination and new beginnings. Strength indicates that this will be a time when you realize the life you have been living has been outgrown in its form, and so must die out to allow a new energy, bringing in a new birth, with a new form. Uruz is a Rune of passage and, as such, is a part of the cycle of Self-Transformation.
Positive growth and change, however, may involve passage into darkness as a part of the cycle of perpetual renewal. As in Nature, the progression consists of five parts: death, decay, gestation, germination, rebirth. Events occurring now may well prompt you to undergo a death within yourself. Since self-change is never coerced – as we are always free to resist – remain mindful that the new form, the new life is always greater than the old.
Prepare then, for opportunity disguised as a loss. It could involve the loss of someone or something to which there is an intense emotional bond, and through which you are living a part of your life, a part that must now be retrieved so you can live it out for yourself. Now, in some way, that bond is being severed, a relationship radically changed, a death experienced. Seek among the ashes and discover a new perspective and a new birth.
The original meaning for this rune was the wild ox. When the wild ox was domesticated, a nearly impossible task, it could transport heavy loads. Learn to adapt yourself to the demands of such a creative time. Firm principles attach to this Rune, and at the same time humility is called for, since in order to rule, you must learn how to serve. Write down some important changes that need to be made, and make them your summer resolutions, then stick by them. For July 2021, will put you on notice that your Soul and the Universe will support the new growth.
This has always been the section for Healing Requests. Through the power of group prayers, healing take place spontaneously.

CANCER
The July 9th New Moon in Cancer brings a kind of cosmic quarantine, where people may just isolate themselves at home to prevent possible spread of unhealthy emotional upsets. Attempts at rational reasoning are sure to fail, leading only to greater quarrels. Chill! Take a “time out.”
The July 23rd Full Moon in Aquarius brings a time when you offer to lend a hand and people bite off your entire arm. There’s a sharp edge to this energy, and people with innovative ideas and sheer hoot-spa can bring down the powers-that-be.
CANCER: Polarity: Feminine Sign: Cardinal Element: Water
Planetary Rule: Moon/4th House Body: Head, face, throat
FOCUS: I Am!
