Skull of Light – Illumination – July Oracle Intuitive Reading - Year Wheel 2025
Skull of Light – Illumination
We move into July and we are now in the next season. We have passed the Solstice and are moving into the second half of the year. This month’s card is from the Halloween Oracle. The back of the cards is very Halloweeny. The card for July is Skull of Light – Illumination. Oooh, how beautiful.
In this card we see the Skull and like all the skulls in this deck, it has the upper part without the lower jaw, the mandible. They are showing their power, as a Skull, as the bones. In this one we have the light radiating all around, little beautiful sparkles almost like stars off in the distance. The light is radiating. You can kind-of feel the energy coming out of the eye holes, the socket areas, and it is Illumination.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, July is definitely a big light month. It is a Summer energy. It is coming in and we have that stability of sunlight for a little while before we get into the late Summer and onwards towards Autumn energies. For those in the southern hemisphere you might want to bring in more light as you are in your Winter. It is welcoming back your daylight and is going to start to increase, but you want to bring light into your energy. Bring candles, bring brightness, step outside when it is sunny, or really feel light in a way that you need to, wherever you are in the world.
The Skull of Light also feels very spiritual. It feels very, I guess etheric is the right word, or metaphysical. This is a point in your year, in July, where it would love for you to check in – there is a lot of “checking in” in this year – to check in with your spiritual practices. To check in with your personal awareness of energy, light, illumination, love, and sacredness. What are your practices on this? What are your beliefs around this? It can vary and it can be all different, but there is something that wants to push through and open into the light.
Have you been resisting a certain belief? Is there a practice that you have been pondering and thinking about up to this point in July? And maybe you just have not, or you have not had a chance, or you are not sure yet. This is really saying Let's Illuminate that… Let's put the light on it… Let's get that Skull of Light opening and radiating on whatever that practice is or that belief that wants you to hold it, to shift it, and to work with it.
It feels a very spiritual month for you which I find very interesting. It really wants you to check in with your practices and how they may be changing. Do they need to change because of who you are and what you are living, what you are experiencing, or what is happening in the world around you? Do you need to connect in a different way? Welcoming in light, working with light and shadow, because if you have light, you have shadow. Really, it is the idea of Illuminating things for yourself, so sparking brightness and light, and the connection that comes with it.
Let me see if there is anything else from this card. It is almost as if it is bringing up another one of the Skull cards from this deck, one that has a candle on top of it. It is making me think of that, a bit like how at our Halloween you would put a candle in a Jack-O-Lantern. It wants to put a candle in the center of whatever it is you are working on and checking in with it in terms of your connectedness with universe, energy, and Spirit, if that works for you, or divine, whatever the terminology is for you. And really light that up… It is beautiful. I love it.
This card reading energy also has a lot of Love. With the pink colour it is bringing in that Love energy and that heart centeredness. This can also be a beautiful guide for you, especially if the rest of it just does not quite make sense - go with that, Heart Centered. Lift it up, illuminate it, allow it to express and feel and show you the way.
Peace and Love, Light & Skull of Light Illumination blessings,
