With a new month comes new energy and this month is one of the more potent times in the year as we sit within the Lion’s Gate portal. We remain within this portal until the 12th while the Earth aligns with Sirius and the Galactic Centre. With this alignment we experience an increase in intensity as the energies flooding the planet move to awaken and heal the collective

Spiritual Unite: WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A CROW CAWS AT YOU?
You might have heard a crow cawing at you before, but do you know what it means? The sound of the crow is often interpreted as bad luck and many people are scared when they hear one because they think that it could be an omen of death, which is not true.

If you’re feeling disoriented as we go into August, you’re not alone. In the blink of an eye, three planets changed signs at the end of July: Mercury moved into Leo, Mars barreled into health-conscious Virgo, and global Jupiter ended its brief but magical “denial tour” through the Pisces prism and snapped back into coolheaded Aquarius.

Daily Good: How to Recapture Your Imagination
High alert is the nature of the moment, and rightly so, but I do not intend to lose the reality that as a culture we are entering deeply mythic ground.
- Martin Shaw –
How to Recapture Your Imagination
“If you had the spyglass, you could see anything in the world. If you had the spyglass, there was nothing from which you couldn’t glean information. It had mesmeric power over the people. It had been created by a king who gave it to his daughter, to be used for the strangest of courtships. If you wished to marry her, you had to achieve only one thing. You had to disappear. You had to become a magician of the invisible.” In this excerpt from his new book, Martin Shaw, a celebrated storyteller, draws on myth and metaphor to direct our gaze away from the screen and toward the wonder of the world. { read more }

Apparently, if you keep seeing your birthday numbers, it is a sign to trust your intuition and develop a relationship with yourself spiritually. Today, I did just that.
My day of birth was Friday, 6/18. I’ve been noticing the numbers “618” several times a day for the past few months, starting at the mental health facility.

Inner Journey:
BRING AWARENESS TO YOUR GENEROSITY
“Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.”
— Jean De La Bruyère
While it’s important to give, it’s also essential that we not give more than we can afford. Only you can determine the appropriate amount of time or money you can give away, but it should not cause you hardship. We need to respect our own needs as well as the needs of others.
When do you give more than you can afford?
“Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving.”
— Jon Kabat Zinn

Victory
“The greatest of victories is the victory over oneself.”
-The Dhammapada: The Path of Perfection (1st Cent. B.C.)
Sometimes it seems that the mind is in constant turmoil. It’s always racing from project to problem, keeping us busy, making us stressed. To be able to still the mind, to find that calm and quiet place within, is a true victory, one that rewards us with health, happiness, and peace of mind

Daily Tarot: Justice
You have great force of will today and it could be easy to push around someone less driven than you. Try to do things right the first time so there’s less “clean-up” tomorrow, when people may be less forgiving or understanding. Do what’s important first, rather than what is easiest or the most fun. You can do that some other time but today it won’t work.
