Happy July!! We are at the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2025. That is so crazy and exciting for me. Here is your check in. How’s is your year going so far? It came fast, so let’s take a moment and check in.

I want to speak about the spiritual meaning of this hot month. July is the 7th month of the year and it brings in transformation and empowerment. The spotlight is on you to shine as bright as the sun.

This is the month that is said to bring in strength, persistence and resilience. It is a connection or reconnection to nature with an emphasis on grounding yourself. July brings in change, travel, relationships and spontaneity.

We think of independence, freedom, a time to celebrate our transformation. Did you know that July is named after Julius Caesar? Some would say a powerful leader. The message of Caesar is to be aware of the outer person as well as our inner persona. To keep harmony with all people until “spiritual enough”, to have a deep love of self but a deeper love of those around you. Understanding the spiritual consciousness of the mind and body. To be in search of spiritual love, mercy and justice.

July’s full moon — the buck moon is also a symbol of strength to overcome challenges. It is a time to embrace new beginnings by releasing old patterns, the ability to recognize and manifest personal growth. Much like the buck sheds the velvet and antlers to grow its new antler.

We think of being outside in July to reconnect with family and friends. We have planted seeds that need nurturing to have a plush garden. It is a time to be one with nature. Absorbing the healing energies of longer, warmer days. Weather hiking in the mountains or swimming in a lake, we are drawn to the sun and the earth this time of year.
