Thursday July 10
Full Buck Moon in Capricorn
Picture
​The Full Moon in July is traditionally called the Buck Moon because this is the time of the year when male deer grow antlers.  On July 10 at 4:37 pm ET, the Moon will reach its full phase at 18 degrees, 50 minutes of Capricorn, with the Sun at 18 degrees, 50 minutes of Cancer.
The chart for the July 10 Full Moon displays the inherent beauty and harmony of heavenly spheres. The Sun and Moon are making aspects called sextiles and trines with the Moon’s nodes, those invisible points in the sky where the Moon’s path intersects with the Earth’s path around the Sun. The geometry of these aspects forms something called a mystic rectangle, lending an unusual degree of balance to this particular July 10 Full Moon time.
On July 9, just before the Full Moon, Uranus will shift into the mutable air sign of Gemini, for about the next seven years. Uranus is a force of disruptions and breakthroughs. It will form a facilitating trine aspect with Pluto, the power player, now in early degrees of Aquarius. To say that we’re in for shocking events would be an obvious understatement.
This makes the July 10 Full Moon, with its Capricornian and Cancerian themes of responsibility and nurturance, a kind of way-station, a respite, amidst what otherwise promises to be a long spate of tension and uncertainty. More to read at:

New Moon in Cancer
​
Using the powers of the Cancer New Moon, we can turn our inner world into a place that feels safe. No matter what is going on for us in our outside world. No matter the struggles or heartaches we face, this New Moon offers us the gift of being able to feel safe and secure.
Jupiter, Our Amplifier of the New Moon
Jupiter has the power to magnify our intentions and what we are putting out into the Universe, which makes the June New Moon of 2025 a powerful time for manifestation work.
Think about what you wish to attract into your life. Think not just about the material world, but your emotional world, for that is what Cancer rules over.
How do we want to show up each day on an emotional level? What emotions do we wish to nurture and master? Continued at: https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-cancer-new-moon-june-2025

Full Moon in Sagittarius

The Full Moon in Sagittarius brings a surge of energy focused on truth, movement, and expansion. This lunation isn’t soft or subtle. Several powerful planetary influences are involved, making this Full Moon action-driven and emotionally charged.
One of the main influences is the dwarf planet, Eris – the Goddess of Discord and Strife. Her activation during this Full Moon may bring up tension or disharmony, particularly in areas where you’ve been ignoring problems or holding back from speaking your truth.
Mars is also highly active during this time, amplifying the intensity of the Full Moon. Mars is the planet of drive, motivation, and action—but also anger and impulse. This energy is best used for taking purposeful action, initiating needed change, or setting new boundaries—not for arguing or pushing people away.
The Sagittarius Full Moon and the Road to Healing
Chiron—the wounded healer—is also active under this Full Moon. His influence brings an opportunity for emotional healing, especially around old patterns, identity wounds, or feelings of inadequacy. You may notice memories, emotions, or relationship issues resurfacing. If this happens, don’t ignore it or shut it down. There’s a chance here to move through something that’s been holding you back and come out on the other side with a deeper sense of wholeness.

Thank you !!  We are asking for donations at this time during our online and hybrid church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are meeting less often in person so we have less opportunity to collect donations in person to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid: partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to  the national organization, to name a few.

​Flag Day
Picture
The “Stars and Stripes” was adopted as the official American flag by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, during the Revolutionary War.  The origins of the Stars and Stripes have become part of American folklore.  Although many people believe that Betsy Ross designed and sewed the first flag, there is no true proof of this. More flag facts, flag etiquette, and trivia here: https://www.almanac.com/content/flag-day-celebration-american-flag

Spiritual Healing Requests

​-------------------------------------
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.  Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.
