"Journeys" Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday, July 24 at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with the idea of journeys. What journeys have our loved ones in spirit taken and what journeys have we’ve taken? Journeys can be physical journeys, going to a physical place, or a mental or spiritual journey, going to a place that enriches us, an adventure. • Please email our church in advance for the Zoom link: [email protected] If you are less than 18 years of age, you must send written permission from a parent before the class. Please let Frank know you are coming by 2 pm on Thursday: [email protected] • The cost for this class is $12.00. Please pay on our website at this link: https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#MedDevGroup If this amount is not within your budget, please email Frank at the address above. This mediumship group is open to both SCOL members and non-members. These classes are to help you build your intuitive and mediumistic abilities.

The Leo New Moon on July 24 is our invitation to stop over-complicating things. With the Lion as our spirit guide, we’re being called back to simplicity. This is a time to bring ease into our lives. It’s a time to remember who you are when you stop trying so hard to be everything to everyone. It’s a time to embrace your inner Lion and the strength, confidence, and presence it commands. Both Pluto and Eris will be stirring tension under this New Moon, inviting challenges around power and control, but there is a breakthrough on offer if we are willing to let go and invite simplicity.

-------------------------------------- Second Mercury retrograde phase of 2025 July 18 to August 11 in the sign of Leo
Mercury retrograde often causes problems with thinking and communication, and negatively impacts relationships and travel. The astrology of this July 2025 Mercury retrograde phase is more harmonious and less problematic than usual, as it makes the harmonious sextile aspect to Venus. It promotes love, cooperation, intuition and creative inspiration. Mercury sextile Venus is a friendly influence that helps you relax and socialize. It significantly reduces the risk of challenging retrograde symptoms, such as anxiety, confusion, bad news, and disagreements. Enhanced communication skills, social tact, diplomacy, and charm enable you to negotiate, cooperate, and compromise to resolve conflicts, bring people together, and break down barriers to progress.
