00:00:00:03 - 00:00:26:08 Amanda What is the overarching energy of July? What are the hotspots and major transits? Are there any golden opportunities for us to harness in July? We're going to find out today. I am here with two beautiful, wonderful and amazing human beings who are also very brilliant astrologers. Nora Rochelle and Cameron Allen. And before I introduce them, I'd like to first thank you for tuning into our channel. 00:00:26:11 - 00:00:43:04 Amanda I know that you have so many choices with how you spend your time. And I'm just so honored that you chose to come here, hang out with us, and spend your time exploring your connection between the stars and the planets. So thank you for that. And it's going to be a fruitful use of your time. I'm feeling very confident about that. 00:00:43:04 - 00:00:51:19 Amanda So stick around. 00:00:51:21 - 00:01:23:07 Amanda I'm going to go ahead and introduce our two guests. Nora draws from many spheres of astrology, including evolutionary, esoteric and classical Western philosophies. She integrates energy work, yogic principles, and intuitive skill building, simplicity and daily rituals into her approach. Welcome back to the show, Nora! It's so great to have you here. And Kamran is an astrologer and herbalist who began his path to understanding mind body awareness with a degree in Health and Sports Science and Psychology. 00:01:23:09 - 00:01:42:21 Amanda Seeing that there was more to understand outside of the colonized education system, he began seeking understanding through direct experience with nature, astrology, herbalism, yoga, root work, and other indigenous modalities. Cameron, welcome back to the show. So great to have both of you here. 00:01:42:23 - 00:01:44:17 Cameron Hey, Amanda. Hey, everybody. 00:01:44:19 - 00:01:59:02 Amanda Hello. All right. Okay, so let's start with you, Nora. Let's talk about the overarching energy of July. If you had to kind of sum it up. Book ended. What would you say that were are the main themes and why? 00:01:59:04 - 00:02:22:11 Nura So July is a really playful, bold month. I'm sure you've noticed there's a lot of energy that we have been witnessing in air signs and then fire signs, and when you combine them, there's, you know, a lot of fuel to the fire. So it can be very intuitive. But built into all of that. We're still in a water sun solar season. 00:02:22:11 - 00:02:47:09 Nura So there's a lot of invitation as well for restoration. So in a very grand scale, I'm really feeling restorative play, rest, nourishment. And then within that, maybe our nervous systems are feeling a little bit more settled and integrated so that we can have those intuitive, conscious conversations or connections that the air energy is offering as well. 00:02:47:11 - 00:02:55:15 Amanda And I know that you've noticed some things about the nodes and their role in July. Let's talk about that a little bit before we go into the transits. 00:02:55:17 - 00:03:18:07 Nura Awesome. Yeah. So the nodal axis is really highlighted both at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month. So right at the beginning we have the sun square the nodes. So sun and cancer around 1011 degrees of cancer square to the north and south node at ten degrees and 11 degrees at Aries, Libra and squares to the nodes. 00:03:18:08 - 00:03:40:20 Nura They tend to bring up a little bit of creative tension. They tend to be really great markers or barometer metrics of success to kind of see where we are in relation to both sides of the spectrum. And cancer is a really great space to settle into self. And from that place of feeling you're well and resting and nourishment. 00:03:41:01 - 00:04:04:08 Nura How can you actually maybe look more at the areas, like how have I initiated and taken more, appropriate aligned action for myself this year? Or how have I maybe improved or release certain relationship dynamics in relation to the Libra South Node so that cancer space, it kind of it helps us to pull back a little bit and it might feel a little bit like a square like that tension energy. 00:04:04:08 - 00:04:28:17 Nura But the South Node, Libra, those relationships are still there. They might really be pulling at us. And that North Node Aries might say, but don't you have all these things to do? Like, don't you have action to take? But the cancer sign is like, but look here. Like, look at what? Maybe your emotional intelligence and your restfulness might actually offer and contribute in the long run to both ends of that spectrum. 00:04:28:19 - 00:04:53:19 Nura And so that opens up the month. And then we close the month with a trine from the Sun in Leo to the North Node in Aries. And so things might actually start to pick up a little bit more. I think if we really give ourselves that time that restfulness in cancer season, we'll feel a lot more harmoniously supported to start taking that appropriate action come the end of the month. 00:04:53:19 - 00:05:19:09 Nura And then that sextile between Sun and South Node, maybe you will, you know, find the people. Maybe after taking that time to pause and rest and reflect, we're a little bit more, congruent with ourselves and a little bit, I feel like it's this, language of attraction, like, more magnetically aligned to our people who will really support us in taking our aligned action. 00:05:19:09 - 00:05:22:01 Nura So we have to give ourselves that rest first. 00:05:22:03 - 00:05:51:01 Cameron I want to just answer that really quickly, because that was, well, sitting there. I love that, and it was making me think about on July 10th specifically, which is really close to the midpoint of the month. We do have the sun in the exact square to where the eclipse was, you know, the last Aries eclipse. And so whenever that happens, sometimes, like Nora was saying, like it's a check in, but like really like around like the July 10th area is like giving us a subtle, really big check in because it's like squaring that exact point. 00:05:51:06 - 00:06:08:24 Cameron So just considering what happened back then and how you want to project moving forward and noticing about your body and feeling comfortable and feeling restful right now, because some of us are going to be able to move into a restorative place, and then others are going to be in a space where we potentially feel emotionally uncomfortable and a little bit riled up. 00:06:08:24 - 00:06:35:00 Cameron You know, that's always going to happen whenever we're saying restoration or things are turned up, you know, somebody is going to be on the opposite side of the spectrum. So just being mindful of what makes you feel comfortable, what makes you feel secure, and emphasis on feel secure so that you can express that in your relationships so that you can move forward, or bringing those past relationships with you to, you know, allow yourself to integrate how you want to charge forward and still keep the relationships, right. 00:06:35:00 - 00:06:41:12 Cameron Sometimes we make this dichotomy of the North Node, South node. It's like, how does this blend into that? So that's why I also love it. 00:06:41:12 - 00:06:48:17 Amanda Okay, I know that the month kicks off with a couple pretty big events. So do you want to cover those next Cameron. 00:06:48:19 - 00:07:09:18 Cameron Yeah for sure. And then just also considering with everybody with Rick said last month about, you know, Saturn going retrograde at the end of the month and how that's a continuation of what we're talking about now. Right. And making sure we keep the continuity so that our astrology can be, yeah, it can flow with the seasons rather than feel like a cut off of a date, which isn't actually happening in reality. 00:07:09:18 - 00:07:39:02 Cameron Right. So the Saturn went retrograde and then right after that on July, I mean, yeah, July 3rd, Neptune goes retrograde. And what's special about this Neptune retrograde for me is that it's at the 29th degree, which is an energetic degree. So it's like coming to the end of all the things that happened while Neptune was in Pisces. And I'm not going to take that into like the world view of it, but inviting people to consider, how has your reality been kind of like dissolving or breaking down into something that you might not like? 00:07:39:04 - 00:07:59:11 Cameron Think about five years ago, what you thought your life was going to be, or what you thought the world was going to be, and how that's all been dissolving. And Saturn's going retrograde and asking you what's actually about to become structure from all the the melting away of all these things. And Neptune is going retrograde is something that we should really emphasize, especially with, you see somewhere significant in your chart. 00:07:59:13 - 00:08:22:21 Amanda Cameron, would that indicate that things have dissolved but that we don't yet know how they're going to come together? That that if people are unclear about, yes, I can clearly see five years ago that my ideas have dissolved, but I kind of don't know what my new ones are. Would you say that it would have that sort of flavor? 00:08:22:22 - 00:08:49:02 Cameron Yeah, absolutely. In the Saturn being in Pisces is like inviting one to structure themselves from a spiritual orientation. Because if you can sink yourself into something that's more timeless, then it won't necessarily matter what happens in the world. If you root yourself in something that's eternal, then you can move forward with that and start anew. When Neptune moves into Aries, and when Saturn moves into Aries and things won't feel like so crazy, you know? 00:08:49:02 - 00:09:06:02 Cameron Because like, sometimes when things are dissolving, we're like, reaching out for it. But it's like sand. And so just being mindful root yourself in something that's more eternal. It could be a just a simple principle. It could be love or whatever it wants to be, you know, like Pisces, like, you know, love. The love thing is all nice, but like, aren't could be good. 00:09:06:02 - 00:09:19:01 Cameron They're also just, a practice of acceptance would be one that I really strongly invite for people. So, yeah, those things would be things that I would suggest people to feel and to look at based off of your chart and just kind of what's been going on in life. 00:09:19:03 - 00:09:39:15 Amanda I love how you said this structure yourself in something eternal, structure your reality the way that you're thinking about things, the way you're thinking about the future in those eternal qualities, and let the universe fill in the details of what that's going to look like. Right. Yeah. Okay. All right. And then there's something else on July 5th. 00:09:39:17 - 00:09:43:24 Amanda Right Cameron that you wanted to talk about Mars in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces. 00:09:44:01 - 00:10:07:15 Cameron Yeah exactly. That sextile is really for me right now. I'm just emphasizing that sextile because, you know, it tends to have not such a, a rough or a friction oriented, aspect, but just from a medical astrology perspective. Mars and Saturn connecting with each other is always significant, and Saturn being retrograde in Pisces sometimes can have a tendency to create stagnation in the lymphatic system, which is like very systemic in the body. 00:10:07:20 - 00:10:27:01 Cameron And then Mars and Taurus sometimes can create this issue with being able to excrete. So like being able to sweat. So that's just something I want to touch on for a moment. And, and also just acknowledging how Mars goes from hanging out with Saturn to being passed on to Uranus later on in the month. So I just want to like, kind of like give a little flavor of that. 00:10:27:04 - 00:10:30:00 Cameron So when we talk about it later, it's not just standing alone. 00:10:30:06 - 00:10:39:23 Amanda Okay, great. Cameron, that is super helpful. Okay. And then let's talk about Jupiter sextile the North Node which is happening on July 9th. 00:10:39:24 - 00:11:05:02 Nura Yes, yes. And I do just want to very briefly go to that July 5th day. We have a new moon that day in cancer, and the transits are pretty lit that day. I mean, there is that sextile between Mars and Saturn, but then if we brought in the goddess asteroids, there's a perfect mystic rectangle created with Pallas. Athena's retrograde in Scorpio and Juno in Virgo. 00:11:05:02 - 00:11:28:21 Nura So there's a lot of, I think, feminine balance coming in to kind of maybe smooth out some of the harsh edges of these more masculine planets of Mars and Saturn. And they are also in these very special relationships, like the sun is applying to a train with Saturn and also to Pallas Athene. And that's happening July 9th, the same day as the Jupiter North Node sextile. 00:11:28:21 - 00:11:50:17 Nura So there's a lot of connectivity between what all of the planets are doing, and I can't recall which teacher said there's probably many of my teachers said this, but they taught me and this really made it stick for me, was that every aspect is connected, like legs on a table to the other planets. So if you pull one leg of that table, the whole table is coming with you. 00:11:50:22 - 00:12:16:01 Nura So when we see this sort of threading and this weaving and this relationship between all the planets, it very much brings to mind a holistic integration between all of these different parts. So I feel like that New moon, July 5th and all of those beautiful transits happening then if you can get that chart and look at that chart, please do, because it's a really powerful, beautiful one. 00:12:16:03 - 00:12:46:02 Nura and then leading into that North Node Jupiter sextile, I think this speaks to that question of golden opportunity for the month, because North Node is always inviting us into something that, even though it might be a little bit uncomfortable, even though it might be a little bit new, there is some sort of reward that comes from stretching yourself outside of your comfort zone and Jupiter joining with that energy, saying, let's tune into higher self aspirations. 00:12:46:07 - 00:13:14:13 Nura Let's tune into these goals. This amplification of maybe what we perceive as the highest expression. Of course, that's not all that happens with Jupiter. Jupiter will expand and amplify whatever's there. But when it's connected to the North Node, there's a little bit more of an opportunity to just take some forward movement spiritually, to take some forward movement in terms of your belief that whatever you're wanting in the future is possible. 00:13:14:15 - 00:13:48:18 Nura Because especially with so much going on in the world, it can feel very easy to kind of get lost in option overwhelm. And when we're in this place of like, I know something news coming, but I don't know what's next. I think this Jupiter North Node sextile will give us a little bit more of a glimpse into that, and it'll be from a space of trusting intuition, of trusting instincts, a little bit more, from trusting our body and staying innocent and staying curious and staying playful within all of that. 00:13:48:18 - 00:14:17:02 Nura Because let's face it, like I know this is true for me when I'm in a place of like, I need to take some new action, I feel this whole new pathway in front of me. All of my fears stories start to kick in. All of the ways that I'm like, are you sure that's a good idea? Like, I've become filled with self-doubt, filled with all this worry of all the possible things that could go wrong, because I'm like, in that sort of anxious, you know, anticipating the future, going badly, kind of place and catastrophizing or disaster baiting. 00:14:17:02 - 00:14:38:20 Nura And I feel like we get this opportunity to instead rely on that more inner child quality that says, yeah, I have no idea what's going to happen, but I kind of trust it a little bit more because that's really all that I can do. So it feels very supportive for that space of surrender or for whatever it is that we're wanting to be creating. 00:14:38:22 - 00:14:47:05 Amanda Is that Neptune at 29 degrees, also, playing into that experience that you brought in earlier? Cameron. Yeah. 00:14:47:07 - 00:15:03:18 Cameron Yeah, it sounds like it to me. I like that. I like what I said and I would definitely integrate that and like keep that in mind even when, when being with the Neptune retrograde thing in the Saturn retro grading, like moving through this month, always just with that lens and then moving forward with it. Yeah. 00:15:03:20 - 00:15:22:10 Nura And another piece of it too is to kind of keep with that theme of continuity from the months like we are in this space of the Venus cycle, where she's not yet visible as an evening star. And whenever that happens, whenever she's in an underworld or other world, part of her phase, our creative process kind of goes underground as well. 00:15:22:10 - 00:15:44:08 Nura So we know that there's a lot happening beneath the surface, but we have not yet experienced the the full on rise of that. That doesn't happen until Venus is at 29 degrees cancer. which if I just tune into that specific day, that's about July 10th. So we open up the month kind of still in that unknown place. 00:15:44:08 - 00:16:05:12 Nura But then when she becomes visible as an evening star, right after the sunsets visible from the western horizon, now we might start to see that rise a little bit more. So it does feel like there's movement, but there's it's kind of overlaid with that patient and that surrender. 00:16:05:14 - 00:16:12:18 Amanda and so you said playful and curiosity and a lightness around these things, not taking it too seriously. 00:16:12:21 - 00:16:43:15 Nura Yeah. And and just not holding ourselves back from whatever are the stories because this is another piece of it, too. And it might not be fully obvious if you're, not paying attention to it. So whenever a planet is sextile the North Node, it's inherently trine the South Node. So trines actually are a little bit more harmonious. Doesn't mean easier or better, it just means the energy will flow really well between those two planetary bodies or points in the sky. 00:16:43:17 - 00:17:20:19 Nura And a sextile is a little bit more like an opportunity. It's like you have to grasp it a little bit more to to make it work. So all of that said, with Jupiter in Gemini trine the South Node, there could be those old voices kind of pulling you away from something. And so it it kind of brings us back to what we said earlier about taking that time during this cancer season, especially to pause and reflect, because then we'll be able to more accurately assess well, which of those voices are actually helpful, which of these relationships are actually truly supportive, so that by the time we get to this, this opportunity moment, we're actually able 00:17:20:19 - 00:17:28:14 Nura to go with that flow of that opportunity rather than hold us back because of those limiting past voices or projections. 00:17:28:16 - 00:17:35:06 Amanda So good. July 11th Venus entering Leo Cameron, tell us about this. 00:17:35:08 - 00:17:51:14 Cameron I feel like that's just literally what neuro was talking about. And then like just feeling into like, how do I want to express myself? And also emphasizing the point that Venus is going to be opposite Pluto at that time in in, if you like. I was just even feeling into it, like in my body. It felt really nice. 00:17:51:14 - 00:18:15:16 Cameron So thank you for that in there. You know, if you feel into a nursing, I think that there's going to be like a is a more useful way that we can work with the Pluto opposition with Venus and really being able to reckon with something that's like unconscious inside of me, rather, and then having to manifest in some type of dual or, power struggle or something that is like has been disempowering in relational dynamics in the past. 00:18:15:18 - 00:18:28:04 Cameron And you can just move forward with more smoothness and being able to understand what's going on with your unconscious. And specifically, I'm feeling that like if you listen to a nurse saying, I can like taste it in some type of way, it's really interesting. 00:18:28:06 - 00:18:38:22 Amanda And what about that. So Venus is going to be opposing Pluto and entering Leo. So what what is that particular combination bring up for us. 00:18:39:01 - 00:18:56:14 Cameron Yeah for me it just brings up I want to be expressive in relationships. And there's something going on on the other side that might be cold or blocking me or something that's detached from me in a way that I like, really want to sink into. But maybe there's yeah, this is like an oppositional force that could be there. 00:18:56:16 - 00:19:19:00 Cameron But also, if I know that Venus has been going through this underworld journey and then like as soon as it peaks up, it's not like the night goes away. Right? It's my opportunity to see like what has been going on with me. So I can confront something that has been going on in the darkness facing the initiation. Or we can say, like the confrontation with Pluto after Venus just peeks out. 00:19:19:02 - 00:19:23:09 Cameron So that's what I would say. Like it's that's the vibe that I'm feeling from it now, in this moment, especially. 00:19:23:11 - 00:19:51:22 Amanda When Venus comes up from the underworld, is it almost like a new plant sprouting through the soil, like, is there and is there a tenderness, or does she come out like hot and heavy and strong after she's been in the underworld? Like what? You know? And then how does that impact I love what you talked about, our creativity being sort of happening underneath the surface, but maybe we're not as aware of it while Venus is underground, and that it's going to come into our awareness. 00:19:51:24 - 00:20:01:06 Amanda But is there a little bit of that, like needing to protect that creativity because it is fresh and new and just emerging from a darker place. 00:20:01:12 - 00:20:29:10 Nura When Venus is rising as Evening Star, she tends to take on more of her lover quality compared to when she's Morning Star. She's a lot more of that warrior, kind of what you were describing, like, let's go for it. We're like, ready for this new thing. Hopefully what you've been learning over the past nine or so ish, more than that months since August of last year when Venus formed her inferior conjunction with the Sun in Leo, and then she rose as a morning star. 00:20:29:10 - 00:20:50:01 Nura Hopefully you've been learning a little bit more about what really lights up your heart, and we tend to take a little bit more action and then reflect on it in the evening star side of the equation a little bit more. And I think the way that they play off each other really nicely, it's like first we establish what is our skill set and what is our very personal creative journey looking like right now. 00:20:50:01 - 00:21:18:24 Nura So that by the time she goes through this superior conjunction, underworld part of her process then rises as Evening Star. She's a lot more able to collaborate. She's a lot more. If your creativity involves other people, which in a lot of cases it does. Whether it's a business and it's your clients or if it's in your relationships. Like by this point, the the hope is that we're a little bit more clear on what we are individually bringing to the project, and we've given ourself that break in that rest. 00:21:18:24 - 00:21:42:03 Nura No. Okay. I'm a little bit I'm more ready to actually do this creative work now. But from that space of more reflection, and I think especially because it's, you know, she began this evening star cycle in Gemini, and then she rises through that final degree of cancer. Now she's back in Leo, the same sign where she began her cycle is really interesting to see. 00:21:42:03 - 00:21:55:05 Nura So this should be also another one of those measure moment kind of seeing, assessing, like where were we in August of last year and in terms of our specific creative projects and our relationships that feel really important right now? 00:21:55:11 - 00:22:09:09 Amanda Several different reflection points. So good. Okay. So we also have the Mars-uranus conjunction on July 15th and this is a big one. Right. So who wants to start? Cameron, let's start with you. 00:22:09:13 - 00:22:38:16 Cameron Mars Uranus. Conjunctions. Whenever those two come together like they can oftentimes brings blows of energy no matter where they're at. But you know, from a traditional astrology perspective, Mars in Taurus sometimes has a tendency to bring a little bit more trouble. So that's something that I would highlight on like the world scale. Like around that time. If you are a person who's sensitive to the data intake of like what you're watching on, on the internet, social media, things like that, you know, really inviting people into just like really taking care of your nervous system. 00:22:38:16 - 00:22:55:02 Cameron And going back to the theme that we were talking about earlier, about the restoration, like just sinking back into that and during that time, because I do think some things will happen now in the world in, in, in everyone's life, just considering throughout the month as well. Where is that in your chart and really just being able to notice? 00:22:55:03 - 00:23:10:23 Cameron Is it going to hit something significant in your chart so that you don't have to feel like, oh my gosh, that Uranus, Mars is coming and it's going to give me kind of energy. So that's what I would just suggest, like sinking back into restoration because something could happen. And I think it could be on a more global scale. 00:23:11:00 - 00:23:33:02 Nura Yeah. With Mars and Uranus together, it's one of those things that I feel like as astrologers, it behooves us to let our clients know that, hey, this is notorious for accidents and sudden changes that are not always pleasant, because just historically, those are the stats, those are the facts. But that being said, we don't need to approach it with that space of fearfulness. 00:23:33:02 - 00:24:03:08 Nura And I mean, you could take your time. That is really, I think, the highest way to navigate this specific day. You know, when you're driving somewhere, give yourself, you know, an extra 10 or 15 minutes to arrive there and find your parking spot and maybe not like running up the hill, but like, take your conscious step at a time because it's when we are rushing in, in that space of urgency and impatience that both Mars and Uranus can sometimes bring us to. 00:24:03:08 - 00:24:26:04 Nura And that's when accidents happen. That's when we slip up and make the mistake, or that's what other people do. And we want to kind of have that awareness to catch ourselves. And I do think it's nice that it's still in the sign of Taurus, because that is a sign that reminds us to honor our pace. So if we're embodied, if we're listening, if we're paying attention, I think that's the highest way that we can influence this energy. 00:24:26:04 - 00:24:48:15 Nura And then at the same time, from the more soul perspective or this higher self perspective that I think is wanted to weave itself into this conversation, it is certain things are just out of our control. And sometimes we, are reminded that we're kind of here as participants along for the ride. So that can be a helpful perspective to take as well. 00:24:48:15 - 00:25:15:05 Nura If something less than pleasant is happening and to really tune into our our bodies for the best way to process it as needed, and to not kind of get elevated into those heightened states of overstimulation, like you were saying, Cameron, and practice ING our tools, basically. But this is the beginning of a cycle that comes back around every two years as Mars kind of goes through all the signs. 00:25:15:05 - 00:25:36:22 Nura And so not everything that's going to happen in relation to this conjunction happens on that one day. It it unfolds and it blossoms and blooms. And so especially where you have that in your chart, I think you were bringing in the conversation of our goal camera. And it's that like there's something unfolding. Maybe it's connected to the reclamation of power. 00:25:36:24 - 00:26:04:09 Nura I've done quite a few studies around our goal just out of curiosity, because it's come up a lot in different clients charts, and there's often a journey of whether it involves substance is like alcohol in the word alcohol are often very connected. it can be known as the spirit star, which is it has so many meanings, depending on the consciousness of the person or where somebody is in their process. 00:26:04:09 - 00:26:22:06 Nura It's like you can be kind of lost in a spirit that overtook you, or you could be transcending something and kind of be in this beautiful spiritual path. And so I really view that as the reclamation of alcohol. Like if you have a planet near that, I do have a planet near that. So that's why I'm so passionate about that. 00:26:22:11 - 00:26:46:06 Nura But it's like, if you do have a planet near that fixed star, it's like you're not like boxed in by some fate. It's like more how you, actively choose to engage with that energy. So there is that opportunity to look for this next two years, maybe this is a time where you break a habit that is in some way, you know, dampening your spirit so that you can actually elevate your spirit. 00:26:46:10 - 00:27:02:20 Cameron Yeah, I love that. And I was just going to add like just a little touch more to that because, you know, sometimes when we do see transits in, I'm guilty of it myself, it's like, oh, this could be explosive. It's like, actually, maybe it should be explosive as well for people who are trying to break through something. 00:27:02:22 - 00:27:20:21 Cameron Maybe sometimes it does take like losing your shit for a second. Honestly, to make yourself be able to move forward with that process. And since it's a new conjunct, it's a start of a new cycle, then maybe it should be explosive. And we want to invite people to do that with consciousness if they are going to do that, if you're going to have that experience, why not do it consciously? 00:27:20:21 - 00:27:42:09 Amanda I love that I think all of us can attest that there's been certain things in our lives that needed to blow up, and it was the explosion that made the change happen that we probably wouldn't have made on our own, that it required that level of sometimes I think of it as that level of drama or that level of like force for something to break away. 00:27:42:11 - 00:28:17:22 Amanda I wanted to ask and you sort of answered this a little bit. Cameron, when you see challenging transits coming up in your chart and or in a client's chart, how do you avoid, I guess, that bracing yourself, that sort of anticipation where we brace ourselves like, oh no, there's something really bad coming. Do you have any tools or like specific things do you do to help yourself not go into that mode and instead see the opportunity, see the potential, use it for your your evolution and your growth? 00:28:17:22 - 00:28:30:17 Amanda Like how do you do that? I'd love to know just personally, because I know it comes up for people a lot. You know, they see something in the chart, they see something in the transits, and it's like, oh God, you know that that doesn't look good. 00:28:30:19 - 00:28:53:22 Cameron When I'm working with other people. I specifically like try to route them in these different layers of the astrology that's happening so that they can see like this one moment is not going to change everything necessarily. But for myself, I like to just do embodiment work. If I feel anxious about something, I'm going to look at where the moon is first, always and forever, and then I'm going to look at what planets I'm feeling kind of anxious about. 00:28:53:22 - 00:29:15:13 Cameron And maybe the, you know, the furthest out I've done is like three weeks in preparation. I would just literally change my movement, play, exercise, work out whatever word someone wants to use routine, and I would work on those specific areas of my body and just basically ask, like, show me what I'm supposed to know and allow. And I'm going to actually create this space here for this to become conscious. 00:29:15:15 - 00:29:32:23 Cameron That's the way that I've been really, really liking to approach it lately. but also there's like remediation things that, you know, I have like talismans and burning of candles and, you know, all the, the woo stuff in the, in the hoodoo woowoo stuff that I do. So I mean, that's what I yeah, that's how I get down with it. 00:29:33:00 - 00:29:34:17 Amanda love it. How about you know. 00:29:34:19 - 00:29:58:02 Nura So I think actually this question is so perfect, Amanda, because of the Jupiter and Gemini transit that we have going on for this whole year. So, like even just reflecting on what kind of brain you have and how you typically process and how you dialog with self and other is so important. And then we have Mars entering Gemini, so that's going to be even further activated near the end of this month. 00:29:58:02 - 00:30:23:22 Nura So for me, the thing that works best for my brain is to know it. You know, I learn about it and then I completely forget about it. And that works for me. I have a mutable Mercury, so maybe that's easier said than done for those who have mutable mercury, for those who maybe have a fixed mercury, or maybe other strong fixed planets where that's easier. 00:30:23:22 - 00:30:45:08 Nura Like once you have something in there, it's kind of like sitting with you for a long time until it's dealt with. I think. Absolutely. The embodiment practices and finding ways to regulate nervous system. And then for the cardinal, people with strong cardinal, I feel like confronting it. And really asking like, how can I go into this a little bit deeper? 00:30:45:08 - 00:31:03:12 Nura And that might actually be beneficial for everybody, because when you instead of feeling like, oh, I have to avoid this thing, if you go into it more head on, then it feels a little bit more like you're an active participant rather than like waiting for something to happen to you, which nobody really likes doing. Like it's pretty universal. 00:31:03:12 - 00:31:25:23 Nura Nobody likes to wait and dread. It's like going to the dentist. It's like the dread, the anticipation of going to the dentist is worse than going to the dentist itself, oftentimes. So, you know, just turning into like, what can I do now? So for me, it's like what I can do now is I can write it in my planner, I can I can have awareness of it, I can maybe do some preemptive journaling about it and then it's kind of that question. 00:31:25:23 - 00:31:46:20 Nura I don't remember who asked it, but it was somebody very brilliant in a psychology coaching realm, where it's like, if I kind of run through the set of questions in myself, it's like, is this thought affecting something that is happening in the present moment? And if it is, then what can I do to address it right now? 00:31:46:20 - 00:32:12:16 Nura And if it's not happening in this present moment, same thing. Like what can I do to address it now and then as soon as I get to that place of like I've done all that I can, I really have to practice my surrender and, you know, embracing the unknown and embracing the mystery. So it's kind of that, the serenity prayer, you know, have the courage to confront the things that you can't control and the serenity to release the things you can't control, and the wisdom to know the difference. 00:32:12:18 - 00:32:39:15 Amanda Oh my gosh, amazing. If you are finding this helpful, make sure you like and subscribe to the channel so that this insight and this wisdom can get out to more people. So thank you both for those insights. That's really, really helpful. And I just think for astrology students, it's it's important to hear how other people manage these things so that we can it, like you said, in our dread. 00:32:39:15 - 00:32:59:05 Amanda It's just it's a horrible place to live. And then often we can bring about the things that we're so fearful of because of the way that we're thinking about it and the way that we're going through life. So thank you both for for those insights. It's really helpful. Okay. You alluded to this before. We have Mars entering into Gemini on July 20th. 00:32:59:07 - 00:33:02:23 Amanda So tell us about this. What what what's this transit going to bring. 00:33:03:00 - 00:33:22:18 Cameron So for me, Mars in Gemini is always just a callback to the nervous system, which is something that I'm almost always going to be talking about with the astrology, because I can be looking at the timeline and see, like, what my soul's essence might be desiring, and if my nervous system is dysregulated, then my soul's not even going to be knocking at the door fully and completely, right? 00:33:22:18 - 00:33:49:23 Cameron So just like thinking about Mars in Gemini and just thinking about where do you where is the information in your body that overstimulate you and learning how to move that energy in? You know, when I say that that might sound vague, but literally if you feel like you have, let's say, palpitations in the chest region, then how can you just move your chest back and forth to see if you can actually get that energy to kind of move out of the way or disperse a little bit? 00:33:49:23 - 00:34:12:14 Cameron Sometimes it's just too intense in one place, is too stimulated in one place. So opening up this space and really moving your body can allow it to dissipate in a way that can be really, really helpful. yeah. So that's my main aim there. And also back off of reading too much information. I mean, we're kind of always in that time at this point in reality for myself. 00:34:12:16 - 00:34:47:02 Cameron But I really invite people to really slow down and or dissect it very strongly. So like after you're watching something, after you're digesting content, sit down and like, write about it. And literally my invitation will be to cross out the things that don't feel true for you so that this can also, be cohesive with that Jupiter and Gemini energy, where you can take in information and still allow yourself to sit down and let your intuition comes through about what it is the highest truth in this information that I'm receiving for myself, and severing the ties with the rest of the information. 00:34:47:04 - 00:35:11:04 Nura Yeah, that's a really golden I love that and I would want to bring attention to that. There's a mars sun sextile July 25th. So right when Mars is freshly into Gemini, it's three degrees Gemini, and then the sun is freshly into Leo at three degrees and then the sun also, by this point would have just formed an opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, another air sign. 00:35:11:09 - 00:35:40:08 Nura And then therefore Mars is now trine Pluto. So we're working with this really interesting, very activating energy, but it is also pretty soulful with that Plutonian piece. It's asking us to kind of align soul level desires with ego level desires, or what we think we want versus what our soul really needs. And sun is connected in general to the heart and especially in Leo. 00:35:40:08 - 00:36:08:21 Nura So that is true on a metaphoric and figurative level, but also quite literally medical astrology. So there's a lot of, I think, opportunity for blending and combining any sort of practice that combines mind body fusion. I'm a fan of yoga. I'm biased because that's what I practice, that's what I teach. But anything that's also just incorporating that connection and even just cardiovascular health in general and doing cardio like going for walks, seems like a really nice way to do this. 00:36:08:21 - 00:36:39:01 Nura So something I've always loved to do because I love to read. I'm an avid reader. I'm a student for life, so one of my favorite things to do, to really come back to present and to myself, but it's like, take something that you're going to learn. I love what you said, camera. It's a cross out. Those things that you don't agree with, but also just like go for a walk afterwards and that seems like a nice place to get into the more subconscious flow of things that Pluto invites us into so that we're actually integrating. 00:36:39:01 - 00:37:14:19 Nura Because I don't remember the exact numbers here. but it's a maybe it's like 1 to 7 or 1 to 10 or something like that, but it's like for every hour that you spend consciously learning something, your subconscious needs about 7 or 8 hours of integration and processing time. So that can be even helpful. maybe you want to do some more research on that, or even just tuning in to what those numbers and amount of time looks like for you, because then you're also, you know, you're hitting, you're ticking so many boxes, you know, you're doing the Mars thing, getting moving, you're doing the learning thing, but you're also giving yourself time to process. 00:37:14:19 - 00:37:33:16 Nura So again, we're coming back to that theme of it being very holistic and integrative. And one of my favorite Gemini words is cross-pollinate. So it's like if you are getting obsessed because sometimes a Pluto influence can bring obsession. It's like if you're feeling like I have to just tunnel vision and like, just do this one thing or just learn about this one thing or focus over here. 00:37:33:18 - 00:37:39:20 Nura Actually broadening the vision out a little bit more can be helpful for integration. 00:37:39:22 - 00:38:04:03 Amanda Wow I've never heard that stat before. And that's fascinating. It also explains why we feel so much information overload now because most people are consuming information and data and all day long on some level. And then we sleep. But but there's that's not enough time to really integrate or process or make sense of anything. So. Wow. Interesting. 00:38:04:03 - 00:38:16:02 Amanda All right. Couple more. We have Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st, and we have Mercury entering Virgo on July 25th. And Cameron, you're going to talk to us about both of those things July. 00:38:16:02 - 00:38:39:21 Cameron The first to me is just a continuation of July 20th because it's like it's just right there, you know, and so like that integration that you would have done, maybe you like by tuning into the like the words that I said and the practice that I was giving or what I was saying, and also thinking about what both of us said and integrating in your own creative way, you know that Full Moon is at the 29th degree, if I'm not mistaken, at the 20 or 20 ninth degree. 00:38:39:21 - 00:38:57:08 Cameron So then again, we have another like 29 degree thing happening here. And so just considering one, what happened last month when the full moon happened and is that coming to a conclusion. You know, and then also just integrating what happened the day before is really what I would emphasize here, more so than even talking about the full moon. 00:38:57:08 - 00:39:03:14 Cameron It's like, what's going on as Mars, enter Gemini and all the things that I just talked about. 00:39:03:16 - 00:39:10:18 Amanda Okay. All right. In that 29 degrees of Capricorn obviously has been very sensitive for the last several years to sensitive. 00:39:10:20 - 00:39:21:22 Cameron And it also means that the moon is conjunct Pluto during this time too. So all the things we said about Pluto and the soulfulness that Nara was bringing in as well is still again, the continuity. And that applies here as well. 00:39:21:24 - 00:39:25:19 Amanda okay. And then Mercury entering Virgo on July 25th. 00:39:25:21 - 00:39:54:17 Cameron Yeah. I love when Mercury goes into Virgo because to me it just allows me to really find out how to organize myself. Like, how have I been digesting information in life from inside to outside or really outside to inside because Virgo is more internal. So how have I been digesting things and how can I actually make it apply to how I'm existing in the world in a way that makes sense? 00:39:54:19 - 00:40:14:00 Cameron So even like, you know, the way I would think of it as just an example, even though for me, like I have this like a Libra thing going on with, when it comes in, but I would say just sit down and just notice. How do you like to digest food? Desert music on? Is there an essential oil you rub on your belly or you smell, is it loud? 00:40:14:02 - 00:40:36:22 Cameron Is it social? Is it off in a corner in silence? Is it outside? Is it inside? Is it hard? Is it cold? It's like, how are you internally organizing yourself to be in relationship with all the things that are going on that we've said? It's like, how is that really actually working on like a very detailed level in a way that you're actually absorbing it so that it can become nutrients for you? 00:40:36:24 - 00:40:46:01 Cameron And if it does become nutrients for you, then you'll have the accuracy of having discernment and discrimination with everything we said this month and everything in your life moving forward. 00:40:46:07 - 00:41:11:21 Amanda Wow. You too. So any final closing thoughts? I mean, one of the things I love about both of you is how how much you emphasize embodiment and bringing these transits into our body, moving them through our body, working with them in the body. And so I just love to know any any final thoughts on July and any other final tips that you want to share with our audience? 00:41:12:01 - 00:41:38:04 Nura I love this conversation so much. There's so much beautiful Gemini Confluence happening here, and I guess because we were just talking about Mercury, I do think it's good to just mention we are entering the pre retrograde shadow phase at the end of July, so Mercury will be retrograde between 21 Leo through two 3 or 4 Virgo. So right as soon as Mercury enters Virgo he's already been in the pre retrograde zone for nine degrees. 00:41:38:08 - 00:42:02:19 Nura So that final week or two of July, that second half really just paying extra attention to the things that are coming up because they're going to be coming up again. And I think it just helps us circle back and loop back into that theme of restorative play. But how we can really take this really integrative mind, body, soul, all coming together approach to really navigate this month really as gracefully as possible. 00:42:02:22 - 00:42:09:12 Amanda And we'll be starting a new Mercury cycle two right in the beginning of August. Is that true? Yeah. Okay. Cameron, how about you? 00:42:09:12 - 00:42:30:06 Cameron I don't really have anything but one thing I am feeling right now that I do want to share. is that, like, I'm just feeling like the synergy between all of us and. And you were talking about how we like embodiment, and I'm feeling like I would really love if we all, like, got together in person and, like, we all, like, created something like that would feel really, really yummy. 00:42:30:08 - 00:42:38:18 Cameron That's like what was coming alive for me. So I just had to share it. I didn't want to hold it back. So that was feeling alive and I'm just feeling appreciative for everybody being here. 00:42:38:20 - 00:43:07:08 Amanda I love that seed you just planted. Cameron. I know we've had this this feeling and thoughts so many times. And yes, getting together and being together in the astrology and in the movement you took and bring yoga. I'd love to bring dance.
