Tarot Card of the Month - July 2025:
As I shuffled through my trusty Tarot deck, I held the following intention in my heart:
What card would most serve the readers in the 7th month of 2025?
Our result?...
The Star!
What a pleasure and gift to receive our 2nd Major Arcana card since starting this series, and one so layered with the potential for positivity! God knows we need it!
Note, however, that I used the word potential. Meaning, all Tarot cards carry two kinds of potential energy –light and dark, empowered and wounded, positive and negative, etc. Your experience of the card’s energy all depends on how you interact with it, especially in how you exercise your free will choice.
So, let’s dive deeper into The Star to see what it wants to teach us for the month of July!
From a high-level perspective, The Star expresses the archetypal energy of Universal guidance. When you choose to align with its empowered energy, you are supported in any quest to develop your own unique, personal vision and understanding of your destiny as a member of a divine Universe.
On the other hand, when you choose to align with the wounded or shadow energy of The Star, then you may often find yourself denying your talents and abilities, living in victim consciousness, or avoiding both inner and outer truths.
A big piece to realize is that many of your choices are made on an unconscious level. Meaning, you (and all people) have programs, stories, filters, beliefs, biases, etc. that were installed into your unconscious mind from family, friends, society, religion, etc. often at such a young age that you were not able to question what you were programmed to believe as truth.
However, this doesn’t get us off the hook for taking responsibility of our life experience.
Once we reach the level of awareness that allows us to question those deeply seeded programs, it becomes our right and responsibility to do so. A big part of the awakening process is going through what feels like infinite cycles of introspection. This allows us to see what’s deep inside, to bring it up to the light to be seen, to question its purpose, to determine whether it is helpful or harmful, and to choose to release what does not serve and to replace it with something new that does serve.
And that is where the resistance to the energy of The Star can show up – that’s the potential shadow side of avoiding both inner and outer truths. Let’s be honest, the process of diving deep within to see what’s there, why it’s there, and replacing it with something else is not a walk in the park.
True inner work is not all love, light, sunshine, and rainbows. Much of it is messy, disconnected, painful, and complicated. Some moments can even feel like a metaphorical “death,” where you might question – Is this really all worth it? Can I just go back to how I used to be, when things were easy and familiar? Would I have ever gotten myself into this if I had known what was involved in the process?
If you’ve ever had such questions, please know – it is normal. A beautiful thing about reconnecting with Truth as it comes from the Divine Source is that the Creator of all that is has no problem with us questioning anything. And you may have noticed, it’s a strong human tendency to question things, especially when running the gauntlet of life and growing through spiritual awakening full of moments that feel super tough.
So, for July, I invite and encourage you to embrace the empowered energy of The Star.
As the world around us spirals into the unknown, as fear arises, and as the old energy of the collective tries to hold on a bit longer, we’re each faced with a choice, not to ignore what’s happening, but to decide how we respond to it. Choosing where to place our focus isn’t about bypassing pain, injustice, or struggle. It’s about tending to our inner flame so we have the strength and clarity to engage with the world in meaningful ways.
For me, that means consciously returning to clarity, light, and peace by surrendering to my intuitive guidance each day. It doesn’t mean I don’t feel the weight of the world; it means I’ve learned, through years of inner study and personal evolution, that the healing I do within ripples outward. Because I care for my inner world, I’m better equipped to stay informed, to show up for my community, and to contribute to collective healing in a grounded and sustainable way. What I’ve endured, survived, and alchemized becomes part of the greater frequency shift we’re all being called to support... and the same goes for you! 🙏
And that’s what The Star wants us to realize: Meaning, direction, and destiny are all found within, buried deep inside as pearls of wisdom in the depts of the wounds we have experienced. You can invite your Higher Self to help you resource the empowered energy of The Star as it derives from the one Source.
This archetype wants to provide you with a continuous supply of intuitive, Universal guidance as you continue to expand your service to the collective. And believe me, what you do to help yourself serves the collective as well!
The very act of embracing a connection with the empowered energy of The Star and the guidance that it provides is a gift you can give to your soul, for the energy of The Star partners with your soul as an ally on the path of self-healing and personal sovereignty.
Some questions to ask yourself when you see The Star are:
🌀 Where do you feel like you are still struggling?
🌀 If you embraced the energy of hope, what might change in your life?
🌀 How good are you willing to let things get in your life, even amidst the pain and suffering of others around you?
🌀 In the aftermath of dramatic change and divine intervention, how can you use your more clear and accurate perspective to tap into your dreams and desires?
These questions are an invitation to dive deep into your psyche to explore what is there that you want to keep, what you might want to adjust, or what you might want to get rid of completely. Much of the process of growth, development, and ascension involves exploring the inner depths of our own minds so that we can excavate the gold that is deep within, and to wash away the sediment that doesn’t belong there anymore.
Think of inner inquiry like sifting for gold, for that is how I like to see it. 😉
