JULY IS FOR COURTING THE WILD WITHIN
Courting the wild within asks us to explore the raw, untamed, unfiltered aspects of ourselves. It's about delving into primal instincts, intuitive nature, untapped creativity, and the authentic emotions that often lie beneath the surface. It's a call to reconnect with our truest essence — to remember who the fuck we are.
July is about spaciousness. Spaciousness allows us to court the wild within, much like how nature doesn't force or rush. It's where curiosity thrives and our authentic selves can slowly, safely emerge.
Spaciousness in July invites us to create mental and emotional landscapes akin to the untamed wilderness.
By clearing away the mental clutter and doubts, we make room for our instincts and intuition to guide us, akin to wolves navigating dense forests. Letting go of outdated expectations and routines that no longer serve us is like shedding old skin, making way for new growth.
Just as a forest fire clears space for fresh shoots, practice energetic hygiene by discarding what no longer resonates since the Solstice + Full Moon in Capricorn portal.
Allow your thoughts and emotions to flow freely, without judgment or restriction, knowing that as you do, you create more space for joy, clarity, & creativity this month.
Here are some helpful reflection prompts:
- What intuitive nudges have I been neglecting?
- What new habits, routines, and rituals must I implement to support this new timeline I'm weaving?
- When was the last time I challenged my beliefs and how do my beliefs need to shift to support the life I'm creating?
- What is yearning to be created through me?

July kicks off with Mercury entering fiery Leo, shifting energy from intuitive and sentimental to bold, raw authenticity. July 5 brings a New Moon in Cancer intensifying our desire for partnership and revealing secrets kept, as Mercury opposes Pluto. Remember to ask yourself: “Is this news upsetting or simply revealing?” Venus enters Leo on July 11, bringing dramatic flair and uninhibited passion to relationships. Later in July, Mars moves into Gemini, heating up mental processes and the nervous system — implement nervous system supports beforehand. Gemini rules the lungs, so think calming herbal smoke and/or breath work. Cancer season concludes with its second full moon in Capricorn, marking a culmination since June's Capricorn full moon 🌕.

July 'scopes Sneak Peek:
(Feel free to read for Sun, Moon, Rising)
WATER SIGNS — Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
You're meeting yourself more deeply this month, dear water signs (or even a special someone!) This meeting yourself more deeply will translate into your most intimate relationships (yes, relationships include friendships).
If you don't know where to start on meeting yourself more deeply, consider practicing some mirror work as you start each day. As you apply your moisturizer or sunscreen on your face, say loving words to yourself out loud so they can be absorbed on a cellular level. Take yourself on a solo date, make yourself a nice meal, challenge your long held beliefs to see what needs to go, and wear what makes you FEEL GOOD.

EARTH SIGNS — Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo
If you're seeking a sign to move forward with what you've been feeling called to do, this is it.
However, consider this: How can you be more intentional throughout the process? How can you be more patient (especially with yourself) throughout the process? How can you really enjoy + SAVOUR the process?
Let me give you a couple clues; it starts by being really present for the experience you're having without labelling or judgments. Taking your time to appreciate the small steps and acknowledging your progress along the way….

AIR SIGNS — Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
July is asking you to get grounded, connected, declutter, & move your body in new + fun ways.
Let's back track for a second — if you've been feeling spacey, confused, or unable to focus — it's due to your energy being scattered and not being fully connected to your body. Take time to reconnect with your physical body and nature. Spend more time outdoors. Listen to the sound of trees rustling in the wind or sit with your back up against a tree to absorb its grounding energy and feel the support of the earth beneath you. Take a dip in the lake and ask the water to cleanse you. Eat root veggies or sit in a meditation. Declutter your space (your home is an extension of your energy field).

FIRE SIGNS — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
July is inviting you to release; this goes hand in hand with this month being about spaciousness. Whether that release looks like a good cry, breath work, writing your feelings on a piece of paper, screaming into a pillow, or hitting a punching bag — this is a necessity to create room for emotional healing, creativity, new insights, and joy.
