The Astrological Energy of July: Cancer Meets Capricorn

July's astrological energy is a harmonious blend of Cancer's nurturing qualities and Capricorn's stabilising strength. Cancer represents the heart, emotional balance, and self-care, encouraging you to take time to nurture yourself. Meanwhile, Capricorn brings grounding, structure, and fortitude, helping you build a strong foundation for your spiritual practice. Together, these energies create the perfect opportunity to focus on your heart chakra and cultivate a sense of balance and confidence in your life.

Your practice is nurturing you. How do you strengthen and care for your heart to bring more good things into your life? By blending Cancer's emotional depth with Capricorn's steady energy, this spell can help you feel both grounded and heart-centred.

What You’ll Need for the Spell

This heart-centred spell requires just a few simple ingredients, each carrying powerful symbolic and energetic properties:

• Green candle: Represents the heart chakra and growth.

• Rosemary: Symbolises protection, clarity, and love.

• Sage: Offers cleansing, clearing, and protection.

• Cedarwood or sandalwood oil: Provides grounding and stability.

Optional additions: Add rose petals if you wish to amplify the love energy of this spell.

Step-by-Step Instructions: Performing the Spell

1. Prepare Your Candle

Apply the cedarwood or sandalwood oil to your candle, starting from the tip and working down to the base. This motion symbolises drawing energy inward. Sprinkle your sage and rosemary onto a flat surface, then roll the candle towards you, bringing these energies into your heart. Be mindful of the herbs, as they can catch fire easily, so always monitor the candle as it burns.

2. Ground Yourself

Sit comfortably and visualise roots extending from your spine deep into the earth. Feel the weight of the ground supporting you. Focus on your heart chakra, imagining a glowing green or pink light that grows larger and envelops you like a cocoon. Let this light connect with your altar and spell materials, creating a sacred space filled with nurturing energy.

3. Light the Candle

As you light the candle, take a deep breath and draw up the energy of the earth, allowing it to settle in your heart chakra. Feel the stability and strength flowing into your heart, providing you with a sense of calm confidence. Let the aroma of the cedarwood or sandalwood, combined with the rosemary and sage, further ground your energy.

4. Recite the Spell

Repeat the following incantation as many times as you need, tuning into its power:

“With this flame, I ground my heart,
Nurture strength from deep within.
Compassion guides my path,
I move forward with calm confidence.”

Feel the energy of these words as they flow through you, connecting your heart to the grounding strength of the earth.
