POEMS to DANCE the YEAR
MAGIC FOR THE ASKING
Beyond earth’s base notes of loss and terror,
Beyond un-trimmable fields and green hedge,
Beyond plunging rivers or rocky peak
Waits mystery
Open to soul-perception.
Now we twist and tear what is of spirit,
Desirous of new structure.
With next inhale ~pause,
Take first steps into the unseen
And gather every life you have lived
To reach out and lasso fear and failure.
Create what yet cannot be seen
COSMIC ENERGIES
OH MAMA MOON
You who turn from dark to light, Transforming Goddess of grace and might,
Your shifting landscape feeding night. Call us forth as howling dogs!
Renew our bodies with soul-insight.
Wisdom Body Notes for July 27-Aug. 8, by samantha cameron
If you are tired for no reason~read on. If you are a confused by the unexpected ~read on. If you feel shadowy confusion occults your light~read on. Are you grasping for balance in these shifting sands? Indeed, we all are. This year’s journey of ‘era-changing’ dynamics is exhausting, and for the most part we are not conscious of the why or when of it. Cosmic skies are offering opportunities of genuine gold, AND empty glitter.
My previous blog, “Magic For The Asking,”describes the planetary energies in Barbault’s Basket, an amazing configuration of powerful outer planets that shape society and history. https://dailybreathjournal.com/. This is one of several unique cosmic events shaping our world and shaking us up for renewal and regeneration. We opened this year with the big shake up of Saturn/Neptune embracing at 00 Aires~ where life on earth begins. This embrace of two oh so different planetary energies set a stage asking us for greater independence, identity, courage, authenticity, Selfhood! Part of this early spring energy asked us to question life: Just who am I? How do I align with a stronger sense of self? I seek meaning but it’s elusive, not what it was. What is important enough to pack in my soul to move through this evolutionary time? That alone could be considered an ‘evolutionary turning point,’ and now another.
From the spring kick off, we moved to ‘The Basket’ with its perfect alignment last week, but the energies remain, though softer as one by one the big planets move off their exact 4 degree point of exact connection. Continue working with ideas and opportunities offered in your Basket such as: Are you considering changing important structures? Have you had surprising ideas in doing so? Is your reality a bit wider and more inviting? Have old dreams engaged you in new forms to grow into reality? Is your spirit feeling unbound, less pinned to past pain? Have you seen your power move in to support you speaking up, or doing something that had been frightening? Has sweet abundance in odd shapes and colors offered you unsuspecting gifts? In short, old narratives are dissolving and there are offerings to those who seek and see. Barbault, the French scientist/astrologer, believed that this Basket was a profound opportunity for the earth, that through using its energies consciously we might integrate our lives in transformative ways, AND humanity could integrate its oppositional forces from greater heart.
Before we turn to the present of the Aquarian Full Moon on the 29th, let’s have a cheer for Jupiter’s move into Leo for the coming year. The joyous rolly poly-one entered the fiery signature of Leo’s joyful heart July 1 where his abundance offers more to everyone. As he is here for a year and won’t return for another 12 years, let’s make the most of his lion-hearted gifts of growth, creativity, shared joy and success. Be aware when ‘more’ becomes too much.

Like the Basket, of which Jupiter is a player, it’s helpful to understand how and when he opens us to greater opportunities, especially under this quixotic Aquarian Full Moon. What a perfect exclamation point to close down July and open August where we have several BIG energy displays shifting our reality. (How can you not be tired?)
August gates are activated by the Full Moon as well as the Basket, bringing some of its ‘energy-offerings’ to a head again, as the Sun activates them from within, revealing what may lie dormant until light reveals. Jupiter is in a tight embrace with the Sun- known as a ‘Jupiter cazimi’, offering greater wisdom, expanded awareness and clarity to purpose. Also, in service to moving forward with greater understanding is Mercury’s move into direct motion. Sing Hail Mary! But before we get going too fast, Saturn’s Retrograde on the 26th will pull us back for re-ordering, re-structuring. Before we dance off in Jupiter’s arms, or the Full Moon Prance, Saturn asks for an honest list of priorities, integrating the first six months of ’26. Now are you beginning to understand why you might be tired? And I’m not done yet.
This week’s Full Moon is also known at ‘Thor’s Hammer’ as it is a YOD. (This is a complex planetary arrangement of intensity, and this one is air and fire/hot and dry!. ) And you wondered why the devastating fires in Europe and the States. This also affects us personally, perhaps asking what we need to burn away for greater enlightenment? The complexity of the YOD’s energy reveals new territory, but only after pausing, reworking, and weaving together difficult, complex energies than don’t wish to be woven. In the struggle to make something work, we can discover hidden truths, and/or necessary alliances. Movement is accelerated. Yes, it challenges us, but in the provocation lies gold, not glitter.
Thor’s Hammer is from Norse mythology and has several meanings. One is consecration, and protection as its Norse name, Mjolnir, translates as ‘crusher’ or ‘grinder.’ Mjolnir was worn as an amulet to ward off evil and often used during sacred events. Thor, owner of the hammer, was a god who defended humanity as well as other gods, and many saw his hammer as a talisman of vitality and life force. If you are tired? Reach out for your Mjolnir, pin it to your chest and forge forward with courage and passion!
There is much more coming in August, so go take a nap. You’ve earned it.
May blessings of new vision and adventure be yours. May we join as witness for and to one another, supporting heart-intended journeys. May the world’s greed and wanton destruction open doors to your inner power of greater healing.
