July’s Elemental Medicine

What is this Elemental Medicine business?

Thank you for asking me that question! Elemental Medicine is a revamped offering of mine, it is an oracle card forecast that seeks to answer the question, “What medicine do I need to navigate the month ahead?” The Elemental part of the medicine speaks to the various zodiac signs (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air). Each month, I’ll be pulling a card for each of the four elements and channeling a message for them. If you’re subscribed to my mailing list, you already have this in your inbox right now! I do offer a more detailed Monthly Medicine for all 12 (tropical) zodiac signs for $5. You can get your pdf of that here. All members of my private group, The Lavender Field, get the Monthly Medicine as part of their membership. You can join the Lavender Field here.

Deck Used: The Citadel Oracle

Water Signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio)

The Runaway

              Welcome to July, Dear Water Signs! This month your medicine comes in the form of the Runaway, in the upright position. The energy of the Runaway is that of secrets and running from problems. If you have been feeling stressed and overwhelmed (honestly same), it is totally normal to want to run and hide from your problems. The problem with that plan is that whatever you are fleeing from will overtake you to meet you or be waiting for you at home when you return. Now that we understand that fleeing is not a viable option, what now? Have a sincere talk with yourself and be honest about you’re avoiding. Once you have named it, you can address it. Now is not the time to lean into delusion, Dear Water Signs. Eyes open, shoulders squared, and problem solving on this month.

Fire Signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo)

The Guide

              Welcome to July, Dear Fire Signs! This month your medicine comes in the form of the Guide, in the upright position. In this position the Guide speaks to inheritance and correction. Right now, you may find yourself in a situation that isn’t ideal but you’re being called to make the most of it. You may be rightfully frustrated by what brought you to this moment but holding a grudge won’t fix anything; it is time to accept the cards you’ve been dealt. Now the question is what you plan to do with the hand. You will not be in this situation forever and once you’re on the other side, you’ll be able to better reflect on what all you learned from the experience. At this moment though, you simple have to persevere so you can get to the other side, pals.

Earth Signs (Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus)

The Founder

              Welcome to July, Dear Earth Signs! This month your medicine comes in the form of the Founder, in the upright position. You are being asked to consider your place in the community your occupy and what do you need to do to support your community appropriately. Two things came up for you, Earth signs. Number one, are you caring for yourself in a way that allows you to care for others? I am not talking about hashtag self-care, I am talking about drinking water, taking your meds, getting adequate rest, and eating nourishing foods. Are you neglecting the maintenance of self and calling it doing it for the plot? Your community needs you well, so consider the ways in which you can switch lanes. Number two, if you are taking care of yourself as you should and someone needs you help, you may realize you aren’t equipped to help them still. That is perfectly okay! Pointing someone in the right direction is help too. This month please lay off the self-sabotage, and if you haven’t been indulging, keep your eyes open for ways you can be a connector to those around you.

Air Signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini)

The Mascareri

              Welcome to July, Dear Air Signs! This month your medicine comes in the form of the Mascareri, in the upright position. Simply put, you are being called to unmask. Often, we wear different masks, not to be deceptive but to make our lives easier. However, you are being tasked with unburdening yourself of the weight of other’s opinions of you. Instead of contorting yourself into a version you think others can accept, try showing up as yourself and letting them deal or get fucked. You are not a piece of paper meant to be folded into a paper swan, you are a full person who should be allowed to show up as such. Do not let your desire to be digestible to others cause you to be unrecognizable to self, Dear Air Signs. Embrace the horrifying ordeal of being vulnerable in order to be known. You got this.

with much love and in the Spirit of further, faster, stronger, and sillier:
