July 2024 Mantra: Feels and Looks Like You Are in Fact That B*tch
Miracles & Mischief July 2024
Hello and Welcome Back Infinitely Curious Beings!
Thank you to the new faces that have recently subscribed.
I am pleased that there wasn’t a mass exodus of “unsubscribes.”
It honestly makes me feel valued, loved, and appreciated.
Hello and welcome to July. I cannot believe we are past the halfway point of 2024. We have braved through most of Cancer season during a Strength year, an accomplishment everyone should be proud of. I am grateful for this watery realm of the unknown as the temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere. I thought I was prepared for Cancer season. However, even with my belief and plan, I, like everyone else, have been blindly trying to ride the waves of my feelings.
I struggle with this element because I have little water in my chart, but my water placements are in powerful houses. When exploring my feelings, I either want to skip ahead or be stubborn in my perception of my known experiences.
That is not how the nature of water works. Specifically, Cancerian water because it is our first encounter with the element of Water herself. During this cycle, we encounter the subconscious easily and, if we are brave enough, can witness our feelings pull the levers of our deepest desires and fears.
You are not alone if you are curious about the feelings lurking underneath all those thoughts. The key is figuring out how to integrate and align feelings to express who we are in time for Leo season.
I'm excited for Leo's season. It is a time of full self-expression and for unapologetically showing up as who you are. The sun rules the season; it's malefic, it's hot, and sunlight is the best disinfectant. Right now, the Bay Area feels like a desert. Today, it reached 110 degrees. The desire to escape the heat with a cool bath got me thinking.
Water is a powerful force that can shape mountains and snuff out flames. However, a steady fire boils water slowly, releasing steam. Indeed, we will change the form one way or another and surrender to the transformation.
We need that fire to push us into taking action and hold the passion of our truest selves, whether we feel like it or not. I've been working on many things, including empathizing with my inner critic. I took some things off my plate and added new, more aligned projects. My biggest takeaway so far is that this Cancer season proves that no one can go back and change what was, and emotionally, that can be a hard truth. The eight cups come to mind.
I felt like I was recycling a lot of feelings, and it was time to create new, fun memories.
I, too, need to be like water. It's one of my favorite quotes by Bruce Lee. And it's essentially saying the water is always water. It doesn't matter what vessel you put it in or what form it takes. I need to remember that I am water, I am malleable, and I am ever-changing. And just because the outside changes and the circumstances I find myself in change around me, it doesn't change the essence of who I am. It doesn't change that I could choose to embody whatever I desire. I have so much rediscovered power and self-respect.
It has kicked me back into my center, explaining why I have this deep desire to show up as my authentic self and share myself with the world.
As you prepare to show the world this new, emboldened version of yourself, remember the power of your emotions.
We'll chat next week for Moonday Medicine.
Best,
Shauna

Collective Corner
Woo Shit: New Moon in Cancer on Jun 6. Cancer energy teaches us to be curious about how our feelings and the feelings of others. We are more open to the true nature of love when we understand the nature of other emotions.
On Jun 21, we will have a full moon in Capricorn…again. This transit focuses on the temptations that distract us from our commitments to the world. Owning our responsibilities with maturity has served us, and we should refrain from abandoning them and instead install them into our character.
