July Star-Powered Planner: How Can You Stay Ahead of the Trends?

Get ready for a wild, high-vibe July. This Star-Powered Planner helps you stay grounded, aligned, and ahead of the cosmic curve—all month long.

“Millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do.” – JP Morgan

Welcome to Your Star-Powered Monthly Planner 

Your typical monthly planner is missing a key ingredient and that’s magic – the magical powers of the stars, your energies and the earthly seasonal elements. You’re made of soil and stars, so aligning with these influences ignites your blueprint for soul-led wealth.

You’re not required to know a single thing about astrology or earthly energies, yet clearing your mind and opening your heart to this level of support helps you develop your own intuitive skills. 

Letting your mind accept the opportunities from the cosmos and the earth, while marking key dates and noting how your own calendar lines up with these events, helps you avoid pitfalls and take advantage of these positive forces.

New Era Wealth Formula is Stars + Signatures + Strategy = Soul-Led Wealth

Stars

The stars either work with you or against you and it all depends on whether you know what their up to or not. This monthly star-powered planner sets up you to take advantage of these powerful forces. Using the stars strategically helps you remove the blocks to your success and achieve your personal, professional and financial triumph. 

Signatures 

Your energetic signature known as, your Intuitive Success Signature, measures how you enter your day. You may put everything through your mind to think about your best path forward or you may want to connect with others as your first inclination. This is the ‘what you know’ versus ‘who you know’ alternatives. Or you may take action (or procrastinate against it) as your first response. 

Wise Strategists and Intuitive Visionaries push everything through their minds. Collaborative Explorers and Ruling Warriors are concerned where they lie in comparison with other people. Creative Superstars and Loving Alchemists either take action or not depending on what’s going on around them. 

Strategies 

Proven strategies involve personal and business actions that you incorporate into your daily, weekly or monthly routines to develop habits more aligned with your soul mission. Relying on the cosmos and the earthly energies supports you in saving time, money and resources.

July Astrology Summary: Vroom, Vroom – Get ready. Get set. GO!

  • Sun signs: Cancer & Leo
  • Seasonal energies: Optimize Power
  • Energetic Element: Fire

Overall meaning: The fast-paced energy begins the first week and doesn’t let up for years. The air from Gemini with Venus and Uranus, as well as Aquarius with Pluto, combines with the fiery energy from Leo or Aries with each of the stars, Sun, Mercury, Ceres, Saturn and Neptune, in these fire signs. The Firestarter ignites for an opportunity-filled disruption sandwich.

Personally: Be careful not to burnout or go crazy from all of the distractions. Your mind gets “idea influx” daily and it’s difficult to keep pace. Don’t try. Instead, carve out time to regroup or take a breather. Better yet, take mini-breaks that involve physical activity. Going out in nature is a boon too.

Professionally: The noise level reaches a cacophony and social media becomes a frenzy. It’s best when you have your own platform or stage. Reset your calendar, firm up your schedule, and take time to review your pipeline. Opportunities are so plentiful, you want to be able to act on them when the time is right.

Financially: Volatility is the name of the game for the stock market for the foreseeable future. This doesn’t mean it’s a total downward trend. Traditional and blue chip stocks aren’t going to fare well, but future technologies, scientific companies, and solutions to climate change present excellent investment opportunities. Crypto currency is still a mystery to me when I try to read its energies. It feels blacker than black for a marketplace. If this mysterious feeling is in the flow for you, go for it. If it doesn’t align, then stay away.

Seasonal Insights

The seasonal dance is one of renewal and flow that can be used to harness in order to propel your success.

The seasonal dance begins by opening your full potential which expands until it becomes unwieldy. At which time, it’s necessary to optimize your influence through purposeful actions. Once you’ve harnessed this potential-filled purpose, you generate power, expanding your ability to make impact. Curating your powerful impact creates prosperity and then you’re ready to begin the cycle again.

During each season, you can leverage the zodiac energy, elemental force and earthly rhythms to boost your chances for success.

Big Star Shift Dates

Big Star Shifts: (in chronological order)

  • 7/4 Aries Neptune retrograde (1st in our lifetimes)
  • 7/7 Uranus enters Gemini (1st since 1940’s)
  • 7/12 Aries Saturn retrograde (1st since mid-1990’s)
  • 7/18 – 8/11 Leo Mercury retrograde

Of note: Saturn and Neptune are super cuspy in their upcoming conjunction in Aries on February 20, 2026. That means they’re each close to zero degrees in Aries and they’re practically fused together. Neptune’s ability to dissolve Aries’ fiery impact is significantly lessened by Saturn’s push for responsibility and integrity. However, this push is somewhat muted as Saturn is in detriment in Aries, so isn’t as strong as usual and he’s stationing retrograde on July 12th until November 27th.

Big Star Shift Meanings

Honesty, you’re going to thank your lucky stars there are 3 retrograde planets this month, adding to Pluto, for a total of 4. Anything slowing momentum is welcome due to the g-force movement from the fiery and airy forces from the outer planets.

Neptune retrograde Aries

Details: July 4th- Neptune retrograde in Aries 2° until December 10th Pisces 29°

On July 4th (and how ironic for the USA?), Neptune stations retrograde until December 10th and for the next 100 days faces a blast of truth serum. In Aries, cardinal rules have just begun to initiate into the New Era and now the stars are entering a period of shakeup. Is this the beginning or the end?

When Neptune is direct, there’s a shield or lens masking reality. With Neptune’s retrograde position, that lens is removed and in Aries, it’s shocking. The 2025 wakeup call reaches a crescendo that has been coming in stages – the first being on March 31st when Neptune entered Aries, the 2nd with Saturn entering Aries on May 24th and now, this retrograde for the 3rd and final stage. 

Imagine ignoring or denying reality for over a decade and having to face the truths you’ve been shielding yourself from for so long, they’ve been your truth version. With the guide of better angels, people will take this awakening with maturity to accept reality and take action to course correct if necessary. With lesser or absent angels, people will dial up the fake vortex and stick their heads in the sand for as long as possible.

On October 22nd, Neptune moves back into Pisces for more delusion and escapism. Anyone willing to be a victim, let falsehoods relieve them from responsibility, or harken back to the old traditional ways, Neptune in Pisces is their biggest enabler.  Even though, the rose-colored glasses are removed, the swim into Pisces is balm to their minds. Relieving any thoughts of responsibility or actions that may make them uncomfortable. 

In fact, Neptune doesn’t reach 2° Aries until March 31, 2026, enabling dishonesty, deception and delusion one final burst until it’s extinguished for another 165 years. The honesty shield just over the horizon makes it intoxicating to fall prey to Pisces misty reign. Be as truthful with yourself as you possibly can. The other stars, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto, are conspiring to gift you the highest possible opportunity. What’s a little discomfort when you can finally step into your soul-led creation of wealth, magic and joy?

Uranus enters Gemini

Details: Uranus enters Gemini on July 7 @ 7:44 am ET (last time 1941 – 1949 during WWII)

What an exciting mess! Uranus, with his volatile, messy and unapologetic ways, is necessitating change, motion, and momentum for your mind. In Gemini, this is the Vulcan-mind-meld, shaking your thoughts, stirring your ideas, and striving for solutions. The rapid pace may be crazy-making, in the truest sense, for too many. The stars have been setting you up to move your energies from your mind to your hearts, bodies and souls. If you’ve been listening, you have tools, habits and rituals, you can employ to ride the beautiful intelligence-wave for the next 7 years. If not, your mind is going to relentlessly push you to distraction, instability, and irrational spiraling. Uranus simply loves shock-and-awe and Gemini says a fat YES in response, with his ability to handle paradox, impossible ideas, and unprecedented solutions. You think things are moving fast now? You can’t even fathom the leaps and bounds of thought until 2032.

Let’s look at the details of Uranus’ movement for this period:

  • Uranus enters Gemini on July 7th
  • Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on November 8th
  • Uranus re-enters Gemini to stay on April 26, 2026
  • Uranus Dips into Cancer on August 3, 2032
  • Uranus stations back into Gemini on December 12, 2032
  • Uranus enters Cancer to stay on May 22, 2033

Uranus in Gemini represents new territories. This is the quest for a new frontier. The wakeup aspect of this is the shock to everything traditional, historical or structural.

The last time Uranus in Gemini was 1941 – 1949, during WWII and other times involved the American Civil War and the Revolutionary War. Other times in the world involved the Industrial Revolution, Age of Enlightenment in the 1770’s and the Scientific Revolution in the 1600’s.

Gemini Uranus sends shock waves to create new ways for communications, technology, science, energy, travel, digital connection and remote access. Boundaries will shift, philosophically, culturally and literally.

Things are going to move FAST – think the speed of light (actually G-force). You’re not going to be able to keep up with the changes. The minute something feels familiar, it’s going to be gone and replaced with the next thing that doesn’t feel familiar at all.

This is going to be absolutely maddening for earth signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and overwhelming for water signs, Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio. The fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius will handle it better and the air signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius actually like this flow. This is nirvana for Geminis, when and only when, they can stay grounded enough to leverage this energy for opportunity creation.

Aries Saturn retrograde

Details: Saturn retrograde on July 12 in 1°Aries until November 27th in 25° Pisces

Saturn retrogrades in Aries for the first time in 30 years. You have to go back to 1996 – 1999 to remember what a Saturn in Aries retrograde felt like for you personally and professionally. For Capricorns, this is particularly striking as Saturn in your Sun’s ruler.

When Saturn tugs the Earth backward, it creates an even greater traffic jam than usual, but this one is internal, not external. You will undergo a period of deep inner work whether you’re aware of it or not. In Aries, you’ll be aware of it. You’ll be shaken at the core, not in massive movements, but in slow, relentless refection.

You won’t be able to stop yourself from asking the hard questions, “What am I doing?” “Am I on the right trajectory?” “Have I made the right choices?” “Why haven’t I done, accomplished, succeeded more in my life?” For some, this will feel like an existential crisis.

Unfortunately, Saturn’s retrograde period lasts for months, but the good news is you’ll become accustomed to these ruminations. The only way you can get yourself wrapped around the axle is if you aren’t honest with yourself.

Yet, there’s reprieve. Saturn reenters Pisces on September 1st, bringing a cavalier attitude toward change. You can choose to kick the can down the road for a few months. This is positive when you’ve been working too hard. This is NOT helpful when you’ve been procrastinating.

Mercury retrograde Leo

Details: July 18 – August 11 Mercury retrograde Leo 15° – 4°

Showing up for yourself and not for the validation from others is the key of this retrograde period. How do you want to be known in the world? What is your true leadership style? Why are you desiring to connect with the world beyond your normal purview? Get creative. Have fun. Be playful. This can be an inspiring time if you don’t take yourself too seriously.

Leo loves to be loved and during these few weeks, you won’t get positive feedback. However, caring, loving, and valuing yourself is the key to this Mercury retrograde. You can have fun with this too, when you lighten up and laugh at yourself. Leo loves to be playful, so take time off, go on a family adventure, or learn a method of creative expression. You won’t be making any forward movement on work anyway, you might as well enjoy yourself.

Exact dates and degrees:

  • July 18: Mercury retrograde at Leo 15°
  • August 11: Mercury stations direct at Leo 4°
  • August 25: Mercury returns to original Leo 15°

If you’re a Leo, this will definitely affect you more directly. For Aries and Sagittarius, let the harmony of adventure and travel be your guide (just be patient with any travel snafus). All other signs, this is a typical Mercury retrograde, the 2nd one this year.

Weekly Wealth Maps

Week 1: June 30 – July 6

The week begins with good news that brings excitement and surprise. You may hear about solutions for supply chain, food stuffs, and helpful logistics as they’re wrangled over by opposing forces. Perhaps, there’s even news on the tariff front. Personally, however, you feel distracted, flirty, and fickle. Those prospects you’re sure would be clients turn away, while others you haven’t liked in the past grow closer. You yearn for easier ways to do everything, while also wanting longer commitments and more serious relationships.

The stars help you resolve inequity in partnership as well as providing good luck with fixed assets, capital expenditures, or long-term investments. Working hard during the day, keeping an eye on the future, and whispering sweet nothing to loved ones is the best way to close the week.

Quick Intuitive Success Signature weekly tip:

  • Wise Strategist (WS) – You have great ideas; present them to others.
  • Intuitive Visionary (IV) – Invest in your brilliance; it’s time to anchor the future.
  • Collaborative Explorer (CE) – People drive you a little crazy because they’re so distracted; make them pay attention.
  • Ruling Warrior (RW) – This is fun for you. You love this pace. Accept the challenge.
  • Creative Superstar (CS) – You may hear surprising news, make exciting connections, or have fun with dreamy creations.
  • Loving Alchemist (LA) – Go deep into your heart or spend time with loved ones. The surface energies are maddening for you.

Week 2: July 7 – 13

You’re weirdly introspective and it’s out of alignment with the quick paced energies. With Uranus entering Gemini and the other stars reinforcing this movement, you expect everything to come together immediately and easily. But, it’s not going to work like that. Things feel deep, slightly off, and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this isn’t something you can ride out. You must roll up your sleeves and move through it. Ask yourself difficult questions, “Am I happy?” “What do I truly want to be doing with my time?” “If I were advising a friend, what would I tell them to do right now?”

This week doesn’t feel great, but it’s an excellent one to derive solutions, to recalibrate your work-life balance, and to spend time with people who matter to you. These people can be business associates or personal friends. The connections you foster are the ones that grow.

Quick Intuitive Success Signature weekly tip:

  • Wise Strategist (WS) – Grab your journal and a pen and write about what’s working and not working for you.
  • Intuitive Visionary (IV) – Get together with people who lift you up. It’s time to get inspiration from others.
  • Collaborative Explorer (CE) – Ask your team or group the hard questions. While they’re answering, recognize what’s true for you too.
  • Ruling Warrior (RW) – Attend a few business gatherings – virtually or in person. If business is quiet now due to the time of year, make plans to see people you haven’t in a long time.
  • Creative Superstar (CS) – Get together with a Wise Strategist and go through the hard questions.
  • Loving Alchemist (LA) – Plunge into the unknown future and picture yourself at your wealthiest. Define this wealth and write down a few things you can do to make it real.

Week 3: July 14 – July 20

Reframe, refresh, renew. You’re entering Mercury retrograde zone for the next 3 weeks, so everything (re) works better than the new. People are the subject matter this week. Make a list of clients, alumni, associates and colleagues you’d like to reach out to. Review your pipeline. Take the time to talk to clients to see what’s working and not working for them. You can do the same on the personal side too.

Quick Intuitive Success Signature weekly tip:

  • Wise Strategist (WS) – Solutions or ideas come to the fore about materials or products for your wellbeing. It’s time to update your wellness routines.
  • Intuitive Visionary (IV) – Review this last quarter and fill in any gaps you may have missed.
  • Collaborative Explorer (CE) – How are your relationships set up to fuel you? What have you let go of that you want back?
  • Ruling Warrior (RW) – Imagine yourself at the pinnacle of success and revisit on choice, priority or action that may have been out of timing, but the right motion for you. Think about ways to do that now.
  • Creative Superstar (CS) – Reach out to lost friends and infrequent connections; get together with people you haven’t seen in a while.
  • Loving Alchemist (LA) – If you have the time and inclination, this is a good time to slide into caregiving or support for others. Or you can also focus on taking care of yourself.

Week 4: July 21 – 27

Get the support you need for this month and beyond in my new book, New Era Millionaire: Uncharted Success for the Visionary Rebel, click here to find out more.

This week is two-fold; exciting and bold, filled with excellent connections and great moves. It’s also one filled with power plays, over-control and stubbornness. If you don’t take yourself too seriously, you’ll enjoy the week. If you can’t let go of expectations, you’ll be disappointed with outcomes.

The stars support your lightheartedness as the Sun moves from soft, sweet Cancer into lively playful Leo. You can lighten up, revive and renew your connections for people, situations and ideas that bring you joy. Let yourself get swept up in the fun aspects of life and business. laugh at yourself. See the humor in the ridiculous and mundane.

Quick Intuitive Success Signature weekly tip:

  • Wise Strategist (WS) – All work and no play isn’t the right formula. Take a few moments off this week or better yet, make it a day.
  • Intuitive Visionary (IV) – The media loves you. Bask in it and remember to bring people closer to you by making the right offers.
  • Collaborative Explorer (CE)
  • Ruling Warrior (RW) – Set yourself up on stages. Give presentations. Get in front of people. You’re magnetic right now.
  • Creative Superstar (CS) – Don’t take big risks or gamble without a net. This is not the week to take a big leap.
  • Loving Alchemist (LA) –People trigger you relentlessly. Try to lighten up and brush it off. This isn’t the time for confrontation as that only leads to permanent breaks.

Moon magic

The Moon is incredibly powerful as she moves the tides on earth. Think about that power for a moment. The Moon moves the ocean and since people are 70% water, the Moon moves each person whether you’re aware of it or not. The Moon is also amazingly personal as she represents your heart

If you’d like to dive more deeply into the energies of the Moon, here’s free access to a 4-part video series and related guide. Get your access here

When the Moon moves through her phases, she gives you the ability to leverage her power for that part of her cycle. The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. 

Here’s a summary of the phases and what you should do:

  1. The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
  2. From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
  3. The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
  4. From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

You can get everything Moon magic when you subscribe to Your Star Path to Success podcasts. We do Full and New Moon rituals every month.

Full Moon: You Matter

Details: July 10 Full Moon @ 4:38 pm ET Sun in Cancer & Moon in Capricorn 18°

You’re a bit melancholy, wondering how your life in years has surpassed the accomplishments you were hoping for by this point. This is an illusion and one you’re not going to be able to intend or wish you way through. The only way through is to be brutally honest with yourself. This isn’t the time for false modesty. You’ve done amazing things and you’re a gift to the universe, so don’t waste time on the ‘woulda-coulda-shoulda’. Give yourself permission to be exactly where you are right now.

Appreciate the ways you choose yourself or if you don’t actually choose yourself, make a commitment to do so from now on. This energy is deep and heart-focused and your mind is NOT happy. If it’s a work week for you, make strides in research or uncovering any hidden agendas to give you a boost in negotiations. If it’s a vacation week, take time to recalibrate your work-life balance. To expend energy, plan a family gathering or host friends and family and talk about the good times.

New Moon: Brave Trust

Details: July 24 New Moon in Leo @ 3:12 pm ET

If you’re brave enough, tremendous healing is available to you. It requires you to be unfailingly honest with yourself and others about who you are at the core of your soul. This is the New Era and your soul wants its audience. Pluto is pulling on both the Sun and the Moon to bring you to your knees, not to subjugate, but to reveal. The stars hold you at the deepest parts of yourself. All you have to do is trust.

Anger and fear come to the surface and that’s natural – you’re human. If you’re patient enough, the anger dissipates and the fear subsides. On the other side of both is trust.

Magical tools

Divination Tool for Your Mind

Oracle cards can help you move your mind from running amuck to slowing down, so you can begin to develop your intuition to communicate with your soul.

The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.

To discover how to use oracle cards for developing your intuition, check out my free course right here.

Earthly Tools for Your Heart

The earthly kingdoms help you shift your vibration through their power and move your energy from your mind into your heart. The animal kingdom help you get things done, the crystals help you realize your intentions by adding their energy to yours.

The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring their power into focus and ponder the animal meaning. When you’re facing issues, the animal energy can help navigate through or around them.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. The crystal can be activated through your intentional goals or your dreams or wishes. The crystal holds this intention for you for the entire month. Crystals can also support your ability to release blocks so you can clear your pathway. When you want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

Flower essences are gentle, yet incredibly powerful to help your emotional body. They smooth out thoughts and emotions as they help you align with your soul. I adore flower essences because they represent their mature growth in nature to give you their healing properties without having to leave your home or office.

To take flower essences, simply put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Monthly Oracle Card: 46 – Prosper

Card from Kim Woods' oracle card deck titled 'Prosper,' featuring a joyful woman in a yellow dress holding a bouquet of flowers, centered within an intricate mandala design. The card's message reads, 'This is your time to thrive,' symbolizing abundance and success.

This is your time to thrive. “Open your root chakra to the thriving energies. Expand your container for giving and receiving.

Stand in the reciprocity of infinite prosperity flow. There’s a give and take, a giving and receiving – a natural flow that stands beyond time and space. This month is your moment to thrive and prosper. It’s time to step into your birthright of infinite prosperity.

Read below for the feminine, etheric tool and masculine, practical tip:

Intuitive tool: Close your eyes, take a deep breath and breathe out everything you’ve been holding onto too tightly. Let yourself receive the growth you’ve been desiring for so long. Imagine your influence increasing with each breath.

Practical tip: Delegate the tasks you loathe, are sick of or make you frustrated. Then, delegate something you actually like to do, but no longer have the time or energy to complete effectively.

Spirit Animal: Bee

Close-up of a honeybee on a honeycomb, gathering nectar.

Bee represents your commitment to success while enjoying the sweetness of life. You’re thriving, industrious and capable, yet deliver succor to the world. You work well independently, but also as part of a team. Think hive mind and working together for the greater good. Realize how bee can help you if you feel scattered and untethered with all of the fast-moving changes.

Call on bee when you need cooperation from others to complete a task, desire tact and diplomacy, or want to be in service to the world. Bee was the spirit animal of 2020 and this season feeds back to your aspirations of 2020. Bee was also the monthly spirit animal in October 2022 and May 2024. If anything of significance happened for you during these time frames, reach out to bee proactively. Bee is unbelievably reliable and won’t separate from you until you’re ready.

Crystal: Selenite, Hematite & Garnet

The 2025 annual crystals wanted to come into this month’s energy. Reach for selenite, hematite or garnet when you’re falling prey to these fast and fiery energies. Each has their own remedy for you.

Alignment Crystal – Selenite
A serene arrangement featuring white selenite healing crystals on a wooden surface near a window. The display includes a selenite crystal sphere, clusters of raw selenite crystals, scattered small stones, and a white candle burning in the foreground.

Selenite links to your higher self, promoting communication with the spiritual realm and deepening your connection with your inner voice. Selenite is a peaceful and calming stone. This stone assists in past life work, scrying and seeing future insight.

Selenite also protects the environmental energy around you, making this crystal a great one when dealing with conflict or difficult conversations. Selenite is super feminine that has a moon energy filled with water, light and loving power. Note: You can’t clear selenite in water as it’ll lose its shape by absorbing lots of water.

Selenite is the annual stone of 2025 and was the monthly stone in November 2024 and April 2020.

Wakeup Crystal – Hematite

Hematite is a magnet, literally and figuratively. This stone soothes and calms, putting a solid foundation under your feet when you feel like you can’t find your footing. Hematite resembles the earth, absorbing negative energy transforming it into wonder and light.

Hematite is associated with Mars, creating space for you to bring peace to your root chakra. Giving a strong sense of stability, this crystal is perfect for the massive wakeup call at the end of March.

2025 is a significant energetic blast of power. This cosmic storm breeds unease and chaos, throwing you completely off your center. Being off balance makes you see yourself and your life differently. Hematite soothes you to help you recalibrate to create out of chaos.

Breakthrough Crystal – Garnet
Six polished garnet stones with a deep red hue, cut into faceted geometric shapes and arranged in a loose circular pattern on a white background.

Garnet is the divine spark, awakening magical energy in your life. You can use garnet for courage, power and anchoring into the deepest parts of you. Reach for garnet when you feel unstable or confused about your value. Garnet instills confidence and connects you to those areas of your life needing extra attention.

The deep red color contributes to its ability to fortify your foundation, roots and lineage. You can use garnet to help you remove ancestral blocks and bring you back into purity. The originality of your energetic signature sparks your brilliance. Remember how valuable you are when you get knocked off center. This is the perfect stone to help breakthrough to you.

Flower Essence: Larch

A larch tree branch with vibrant green needle-like leaves and several small, reddish-purple pine cones, displayed against a white background.

July pushes you to become more of yourself, so you can use the flower essence, larch, to help you. Larch provides self-appreciation and self-confidence with perseverance which you need if you’re going to make it to the top. Larch also helps you overcome insecurities and let the true self shine. It also clears negativity and creates healthy flow between chakras.

Great affirmations to say with larch are; “I can do be truly me. I will do things that are true to me. I am living my truth.”

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Power

Following my success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ® methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Signature for the best results this month. If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, here’s the link.

Since I’m including weekly tips here instead of the weekly podcasts, I’m revamping this section to be the best tools for you to rely on this month.

Wise Strategist

Set intentions every day for prosperity, not only profitability. Prosperity flows and you’ll want to flow too. Use the oracle card by propping it up as a reminder or by meditating with it every day. Combine it with affirmations.

Intuitive Visionary

Use garnet throughout the month to vibe with others. Your energy is still future-oriented and this month people are prickly enough to take it out on you. Garnet holds your power, anchors it and gives you the ability to stand firm when it matters.

Collaborative Explorer

Practice giving and receiving compliments without mitigating them with extraneous information. Deliver them generously and then receive those coming your way with a simple “Thank you. I fully receive that.

Ruling Warrior

The bee is your spirit animal throughout the month. Lean into the energies of community, industry and the sweetness of life to move you through the month with ease and prosperity. Create a money bowl, box or jar by filling it with prosperity crystals; pyrite, goldstone, citrine and green aventurine. Add iChing coins, real money and your fortune intentions.

Creative Superstar

Instill confidence in yourself and the value of your creations with the help of the Larch flower essence. Larch provides self-appreciation and self-confidence with perseverance which you need if you’re going to make it to the top.

Loving Alchemist

The New Moon in Leo on the 24th was made for you. Dive deeply into ritual during this lunar phase. Until then, rely on the crystals to bring you relief when people trigger you. Remember patience breeds trust.

Bottom line

July is fast-moving and deep and these energies don’t flow well together. There are times you feel like stepping off the roller coaster that the combination of speed and depth create. Instead of succumbing, be patient with yourself. Walk away from others when they’re edgy. Revisit the best parts of yourself every day as reminders of how far you’ve come. This is the time to let your heart open and your soul lead. I wish it was more comfortable, but I promise you it’s worth it. You’re worth it.
