Core (48 – The Well): The month centers on flexibility. Yin Wood bends, it doesn’t break. Nature is the guide to this concept, as well as the mentor for when life becomes stressful. We have a deep well of knowledge to tap into. This requires flexibility of mind, because uncertainty is uncomfortable. Expect this wisdom to shift something fundamental in your psyche. Once you drink from the clear waters of consciousness, you will want more from yourself and others. Even if you have a teacher or mentor to guide you along the path of discovery, the final steps are always solo efforts. Go deep, and be unafraid. 24.3 (The Turning Point, line 3): As summer reaches the peak season, it’s a good time to pause and reflect where you are holding onto “what could have been”, and let that go. Know that we are where we are in time to experience it all, to be part of the shift. If you are feeling stuck in mental fretting, do something to get back into your body. Go dancing, take a run, or play in the pool! Then you will recognize where the next turning point will take you. 57.3 (The Gentle, line 3): Gentleness and softness are approaches that yield long-lasting results. Nonviolence may seem like it won’t be as effective as more direct approaches, but the results are longer lasting, as they are built on a foundation of understanding, not force. However, this month you may find that some people are projecting a false front, masking their true intentions of extraction and harm. Stay in alignment and they won’t even try to make conversation with you. 55.1 (Abundance, line 1): When one is aligned with abundance, they radiate a glow about them. Notice when you see someone like that, and just enjoy being with them. And if that is you, then share that light generously! Focus on taking advantage of the time when you can maximize your efforts. Notice when you are inclined to stay small, which leads to complaining and staying in the same old situations. Shift back into the expansive nature of abundance by imagining the world as one big gift to unwrap. Mercury Retrograde June 29-July 23.
