Spiritual guidance July/August 2025: A call to clarity

Posted on Jul 23, 2025 in Spiritual living, Tarot, Uncategorized

Here’s my spiritual guidance July/August 2025, covering the lunar month beginning with the Leo new moon on July 24th at 8.11pm (UK) through to August 23rd. Every new lunar month I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to spark intuitive insight about the key energy to navigate by during the coming four weeks. I then take a quick look at the astrology.

After the high-octane swirl of June and July, chaotic on the surface but flowing with deep currents of divine guidance, we arrive here. At the threshold of profound change.

Soulful activism: The courage to feel it all

Stillness can feel unbearable. Facing what we’re actually feeling or hearing in the moment feels like too much. But when we avoid it, we miss the truth waiting just beneath the surface – the pain, the sorrow, the fear of uncertainty. And yet, that’s exactly where healing, and soulful activism, begins.

So much of today’s human suffering stems from our resistance to sitting with discomfort. You can see it everywhere in the constant push toward the next high, the next achievement, the next distraction. It shows up in the rage and vicious backlash when someone’s beliefs are questioned or contradicted.

In 2016, these same questions were stirring in me and I gave them voice in a poem inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Following on from The Magus of last month, I’ve drawn another major arcana card – The Tower. It’s a potent sign of transformation and rebirth, and what I speak of here may well continue to pulse through the next six months, thanks to the recent potent Summer Solstice on June 21st.

One step at a time; spiritual walking practice

A couple of weeks ago, my partner, our collie companion, and I set off on a ten-day walking holiday, each day unfolding spontaneously from the base of our camper van. The deep restoration we felt – body, heart, and spirit – moved me to write this reflection on a spiritual walking practice.

————-

I walk, and my body sings. There’s a rhythm in my hips, a primal pulse rising up from my feet. Step by step, I fall into the ancient poetry of motion – one foot, then the other, again and again. It soothes. It centres. It returns me to myself.
