Hello Everyone,
I hope you took some time and enjoyed the 4th of July last
week. In NH we have had some phenomenal summer weather while much of the rest
of the country has seen extremes with heat, fires, and storms. The contrast
across the country has been amazing.
July is an excellent month to lighten up and play ... indoors
or outdoors, with friends and family, doing whatever makes you happy. Next
week's new moon corresponds to the Children & Joy sector of your space. See
below for more information.
Mercury goes retrograde July 15 - August 7. This is a
favorable period for vacations. Not so favorable for serious work, contracts or
important decision-making.
Wait:
The Art and Science of Delay, a new book by Frank
Partnoy, reinforces the value of taking a breath and slowing down before responding
and reacting to people and events in our instantaneous and fast-paced world.
Give it a try and see what happens.
Also, check out upcoming events for September on the
Sidebar. I'll be co-teaching a new teleclass program with Madeline Gerwick beginning
Wednesday, September 12: Taking an Energy Inventory for Prosperity and I'll be giving
a keynote with Karen Kallie and teaching a workshop Feng Shui and Health at the
4th Annual Elements of Enlightenment Retreat on Sandy Island, Lake
Winnipesaukee, NH from September 28-30.
This newsletter is short on purpose. Enjoy the remainder of July!

July: Create Time for Play
The Thursday, July 19th new moon in Leo correlates with the
Children & Joy gua. This is the center right of your space. The energy of
this area is associated with children, having fun, creativity, creative problem
solving, creative self-expression and overall joy. It is also relates to the
future. Creating time for play is essential for overall well-being. When you
relax, situations open up and solutions take shape. Allowing time to play this
month is even more important since Mercury will also be retrograde for the next
three weeks. Let more serious things to take a back seat for a few weeks.
The next week is an excellent time to refresh the Children
& Joy sectors of your land, house, every room in your house, and your
office or workspace. Lighten these spaces up. You know how by now ... remove
clutter and move along other items that are ready for repair or recycling. Dust
and vacuum thoroughly - particularly the corners, low and high. Energy tends to
gather and get stuck here. If your windows are not sparkling, wash them to help
create a bright outlook on life. Keep your doors free and clear and pathways
open.
 From a feng shui perspective the Children & Joy gua is
energized by Metal. In addition to materials or colors such as gold, silver,
brass, aluminum, the metal element is also represented by circular or oval
shapes and the colors white and gray. The feng shui color for the Children's
gua is white. If you have an all white room or area, bring some additional
color in for balance. Metal wind chimes, a bell, yellow or earthy items, books
about creativity, stuffed animals, whimsical items or toys are also excellent
enhancements.
After you re-energize this area, sit quietly and set an
intention for yourself. Any time July 18-20 is ideal. Visualize what you would
like to change or create. Write down the end result using present tense,
positive words, just as if it is happening now. Also remember to express
gratitude that you already have it. Although this may feel counter-intuitive,
it works.
Have fun re-energizing your Children & Joy gua. Tune
into the shifts and results beginning with the August 1 full moon.

A Bit About Our Times ...
Mercury is Retrograde July 15th - August 7th
Mercury retrograde periods are excellent for vacation. Good
for you if you have one planned! Go with the flow for a most enjoyable time.  Mercury retrograde periods are excellent times to re-do, re-consider, repair, review
and re-work many things. They are not ideal periods to purchase electronics or
sign contracts. Communications easily get confused and mixed up during these
cycles, so take extra care and also allow more room in your schedule. As you do
so, you can easily take advantage of the positive aspects of this cycle.
A very active and important astrological period continues
through the summer. A significant part of it is about personal transformation.
If you are moving through personal change, you may feel a need to adjust your
outer surroundings. Likewise, as you make changes to your space, you may feel
drawn to make fundamental personal shifts. Your space mirrors your inner self
and the two are intimately connected.
Many people are experiencing significant challenges and
obstacles at this time. Although we can't change or fix other people, we can have
compassion and express empathy.
As I often say, the "work" is always on ourselves. |

Zen Habits
I'm teaching an online class, "Human Relations in
Administration" at SNHU this summer and one of my students brought the website Zen Habits to my attention.
It's a "Top 25" blog and wonderful site to peruse. Read Leo's story . His message is
about living simply to live well. The September teleclass program I am
co-teaching with Madeline Gerwick would be an excellent way to identify the
patterns you'd like to change to put yourself on a Zen Habits path. |
