July - moving into the second half of 2024, the card for July is from the Soul Coaching® Oracle Cards. It has a little bird, a blue bird, and it is actually the same blue bird that is on the back of all the cards in this deck. It is the Enthusiasm card.
In the northern hemisphere with July we come into Summer, towards the peak of summer. For those in the Winter you would be coming into more of a higher Winter right now. You would have gone through Winter Solstice, light is returning, but you are heading into a deeper part of the winter months.
Here we have Enthusiasm! Whoa! We have done some serious sorts of awareness, understanding, and noticing. We have serious versions of connection with our self and what we are working on, what we need to make choices about, what are we seeing, what are we thinking, and what are we choosing. Now we get some Enthusiasm. Whew! Thank goodness!
It is a happy little bluebird with the happy cartoon eye. It is working with the light, working with the Sun and the brightness. Whether it is Winter or Summer wherever you are, embrace the brightness of whatever is around you. Enthusiasm for life. Enthusiasm for what the world shows you, and what you experience with it. Enthusiasm.
The affirmation on this card is "I celebrate everything in my life, and I live in limitless joy!"… “I celebrate everything in my life, and I live in limitless joy!” So… you are going to take a pause in July and you are going to look back over the year so far. You can go back through the other cards if you want to. You can go back into the sword energy, the air, the Iceberg of January, the Hearing Messages from Spirit, the wisdom of The Owl and the shadow and light, and also that Surrendering of Defensiveness - bringing in those tools of communication, of understanding, centering, listening, and responding in wise ways.
What do you celebrate? What are you celebrating from the first half of the year? Skills, accomplishments, things you have surrendered, things you have released, things you have welcomed in and manifested. Good moments, learning moments, challenge moments that brought you something unexpected, and so much more. What are you celebrating?
Then, where is the Enthusiasm for life? Where is the joy for living? “I live in limitless joy!” If these do not exist for you, this is an opportunity to find little moments and let them sprout, let them grow, and let them blossom so you can then harvest them.
Moments of celebration of anything! At the point that I am writing this, the end of 2023, I even celebrate when I take a shower! Woohoo right? Because it takes effort, it takes time, it takes awareness, it is a choice, so I celebrate! “I did this, I did this for me, and I feel better, excellent!” And many, many, other things. What are you celebrating? Realize that it is learned, it is a practice. It is “learn and practice” until it becomes a valuable habit. Maybe there is something about July that is wanting to remind you of that or that you need to get back into that if you have not done it for a while. If you are already doing it, celebrate the fact you are doing it! Bring the joy into that. If you are not doing it, then how could it come? Baby steps. Planting the seeds, so that you can feel it and it can grow Enthusiasm.
Have a look at the card again. Enthusiasm. The beautiful blue bird. Maybe it is a symbol or a sign for you - a bird flying in the light of the Sun, in the brightness of the Sun, and it says “I celebrate everything in my life, and I live in limitless joy!”
This card, as we move into the next energy, also brings in a reminder that yes there is a possibility to celebrate even the things that you find the most difficult, the most challenging, and the most gut-wrenching. Those things you may have seen through other months so far in 2024. Giving you a reminder to get to a point where you can celebrate even those things. It is a high wisdom level so do not beat yourself up if you can not do it or if you are not there yet or you do not understand how. It is okay. Plant the seed that there is something to celebrate in everything, even the stuff that feels really yucky. And there is joy, always. Somewhere for you to let yourself find it. Find that Enthusiasm, that celebration, and that joy. That's the messaging for July.
Peace & Love, Light Blessings,
Sheila
