Flowing with the Winds of Change

July 2026: the E-Light Newsletter

In this month’s E-Light we explore the unusual and incredibly expansive opportunities that are available to us in the energy flow this month. We look at the far-reaching effects of the new energetics that we are now living in and discuss what this means for us both personally and collectively.

We also look at some of the energetic highlights this month, and explore how increasingly important it is for us to live from the inside out, follow our own inner guidance even when it takes us into some unexpected places and review the increasing need for discernment over what we give our attention to.

As always, we highlight some flower, gem & crystal essences that might be particularly useful to help us move through the month in harmony & balance, along with our latest special offers.

Flowing with the Winds of Change

Time to Let Go and Fly

The energy flow this month is extraordinary and likely to be very far reaching in its effects. Simply put, July is like no other month that we have had in the past or that can be seen coming in the foreseeable future. It is a focal point for a permanent change in the qualities of the energies on our planet that is both tangible and undeniable. You might have been able to feel this change filtering in around the solstice, being amplified by the full moon at the end of June and now be aware of these energetic winds of change swirling into action more fully as we move further into July.

There has been a massive uplift in the frequencies flowing onto our planet that will be further amplified and expanded by the upcoming rare planetary alignments heading our way later in July. As a result, we are in the midst of a wave of expansion, a huge uplift in consciousness that as we align with it will carry us forward and further up the spiral of awakening, and back into alignment with our soul selves.  

The energies of the full moon at the end of June effectively drew a line in the sand, marking a point of no return. A point where we were clearly invited to make an internal commitment to ourselves about moving forward into something new. This was at both a soul level as well as a human level. You might have felt this as a strengthening of resolve or a recognition that something old within you had completed its journey and that it was time to let it release. I experienced this personally as a review of old patterns of misplaced responsibility and a need to step more firmly into my authentic self.

Humanity has reached another major energetic turning point, and I am sure that you can feel the truth of this in your heart each time you connect in and listen to the messages from your inner being, your true self.

July then is likely to be a month of accelerated personal and collective transformation. It may well feel exciting and uplifting, but it may also take us into some difficult places within ourselves as we come into contact with those unconscious parts of us that are not yet in alignment with this new energetic opportunity. Whatever you experience remember that it is exactly what you need in the moment to move you forward, just stay with it and follow the flow.

Essences to help

• Inner Light; the energies this month are very clearly laying out an opportunity for us to expand our consciousness and return to a greater awareness of ourselves as spirit having a human experience. The light flowing onto the planet is extensive and contains very high frequencies that will eventually alter our carbon-based bodies to become more crystalline in nature. If you have been feeling that this process is causing your physical body to creak at the seams somewhat you are not alone! Use the Inner Light Essence to help your body absorb and integrate the inflowing light more easily and to help your consciousness expand without resistance. I use this essence with very good effect when I feel in need of some extra support physically.
• Heart Connection Spray; this is a lovely spray to use when you need some quick acting help to move you back into your heart space. We are all working on remembering that our true nature is love and many of our deepest issues relate to lack of awareness of this. Most of us still have painful defence barriers around our hearts that we are in the process of dismantling whether consciously or unconsciously. If you should find one of these painful barriers triggered off in this month’s energy flow this is the essence for you. Spray it liberally into your auric field and sit quietly within it for a moment allowing the discomfort to be present until it dissolves.

More about the Energies of July

The cosmic energy flow this month is a potent message to us to open our hearts, embrace the opportunities for creating something new and give ourselves full permission to be our true selves. It is also a reminder of how lovingly we are all supported from the realms of spirit and that all we have to do is to remember to be true to ourselves and allow our spirit to show our human selves what is possible when we trust the process of change.

Cancer New Moon

The Cancer New Moon is on July 14th and it is conjunct retrograde Mercury. This is an emotionally nourishing new moon that invites us to take a deep dive into our inner world. This is a moment to slow down, open your heart and listen carefully to your inner being for any new direction or insight that you need for the next part of your journey. This will be a powerful moment to allow a new focus to emerge in your life.

July’s Rare Planetary Alignment

July 15th sees the beginning of a rare planetary alignment between the outer planets, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune and Jupiter all at 4 degrees of their signs. Uranus, Pluto and Neptune are very slow-moving planets, and Jupiter has just entered Leo where it will remain for the next twelve months. To have all four of these planets meeting at 4 degrees of their signs is rare indeed, and a potent message about the opportunity being presented for massive change and transformation in the world for the collective good.

This alignment has been described as the ‘most beautiful configuration of the 21st century’ and is a harmonious but powerful invitation to begin to build a type of life that feeds who we really are at a Soul level. It will encourage societal change and hasten the demise of old structures that are no longer in alignment with a more expanded way of experiencing life. The fabric of our reality is changing at great speed and in ways that we have not experienced before. 

Keep in mind that change of this magnitude is an inside out job because our outer world is always reflective of our inner world. Spend time in your heart each day and connect with the pulse of change that is happening within you. Follow the flow as best you can and avoid getting caught up in the drama and chaos of the old world that is now dismantling before our eyes, creating a fertile space for something new to emerge.

Make no mistake this is a potent time of personal and collective awakening. It is why we are here and it is happening now. Remember to celebrate and have fun!

Moons Nodes Change Focus

The Moons nodes move signs on July 26th taking the focus onto the Aquarius/Leo axis until March 2028. With the north node in Aquarius and the south node in Leo this will shift the evolutionary focus onto a new path, this time on to the creation of new things for the collective common good.

July Full Moon

The Full Moon this month is on July 29th when the sun will be in Leo and the Moon in the opposite sign of Aquarius. It will be conjunct Pluto, in opposition to Jupiter and trine Uranus. This will be a particularly potent full moon for transformation and the release of anything that no longer serves us. This could feel quite intense for a while as we connect with what needs to release in order to reach that point of liberation and new direction. Just do your best to stay present with whatever might present itself for you around this time. Sometimes it is hard to open our hearts to those parts of ourselves that we do not want to own, but this is exactly what they need to be able to release.

Essences to help

• Being Present; The best way that we can negotiate the energies this month is to ensure that we stay present and connected as best we can in each moment. If this is something that you find difficult due to old patterning, then the Being Present Essence is the one for you. Use it to help you stay present grounded and connected so that you can more easily manage what is needing your attention.
• Brow Chakra; This month we are particularly being called to move back inside ourselves and to trust our own intuition and inner guidance to show us the direction that is in alignment with our own soul’s path. This takes some practice and many of us still have old issues around this that may well surface more clearly in the new energies. If this is the case for you, I suggest having a large bottle of Brow Chakra to help you open up the inner pathways that you need to be able to accomplish this more easily.

Adapting to the New Energies

Stay in Touch with Yourself

Have you noticed just how much the energetic framework that we live in has changed recently? Perhaps you have found yourself being impulsed to try new ways of living and working, recognised that your perspective on something has radically expanded or you just feel like a very different person than you did a short time ago. Maybe you have also found yourself trying to do something in an old way, from an old perspective and then found that it just does not work anymore in the new energies. We certainly have and as exciting as this is we have also found that it is taking us some time to adapt to and learn how to interact with the energies in new ways.

One of the keys to this that we have found important, is the need to stay very much in touch with ourselves at all levels, from the human right back to the soul. This new energetic framework that we are now living in and that is likely to become increasingly amplified in the cosmic energy flow this month is asking us to expand our perspective and make a conscious choice to integrate the human and spirit parts of ourselves so that they can work together in greater unity and wholeness. To do this we need to stay deeply in touch with ourselves in ways that may not have been our focus and orientation before.

This energy responds to the heart frequency and to the vibrations of the soul and our authentic self. You have probably noticed that it will no longer support you to play out old patterns of thought or behaviour whether consciously or unconsciously. If you stay in touch with yourself, you will quickly notice when a patch of resistance has been triggered off as, at a human level you try to resist the energetic request for transformation and/or change. This is perfectly normal and something that happens to all of us in this kind of energy flow, but it can be very uncomfortable and disconcerting especially when you can’t immediately see what you are actually resisting.

Essences to help

• Self Acceptance; one of the old patterns that is definitely not going to be supported in the new energy flow is any lack of self-acceptance or self-love that we might unconsciously be holding on to. I don’t know about you, but this is something that I often come across when I am working within myself. Instead of giving myself the same loving understanding that I try to do for others I make things more difficult for myself by refusing to forgive or accept certain aspects of myself. The Self Acceptance Essence is the one I turn to for a reminder of how to love and accept myself more fully. I find that it very quickly helps me to open my heart and give myself the unconditional love that I need to be able to see a new perspective on something within myself!
• Energetic Alignment Spray; use this powerful spray to help you stay in alignment with the energy flow this month. It will very quickly align all the chakras, subtle bodies and subtle energy points and help you to connect to your inner guidance for more clarity on any old issues you might encounter along the way.

Check for Old Stories

Resistance usually just means that an old story from the past is coming to the surface for our attention, something that is happening at an increasingly fast rate these days. The good news is that the new energy flow will support us to let go of these old stories much quicker than seemed possible in the past. All we have to do is to identify what the story is and what emotions are still holding it in place and then be willing to let go and release.

I know this sounds easier than it sometimes feels in the moment but eventually this is what we all have to choose to do. Flower and Gem/Crystal Essences are like a good friend when it comes to help with this process. An essence or combination of essences that targets the emotional thread in the story that feels the most prominent to you will soon start a process of dissolving the intensity of the emotion that you are experiencing.

From there more threads will likely become visible allowing you to choose new essences to help. Before you know it the fragment of you that is struggling becomes more obvious and you can invite it into your heart space for transformation rather than being consumed by it.  

Essences to help

• Pink Rose; sometimes we can find ourselves facing a patch of resistance from within and not be able to clearly identify what the underlying thread of energy is that needs releasing. In this situation taking some of our Karmic Pink Rose Essence for a few days could be very helpful. This essence works on deeply held fears, and it is often these that hold a pattern in place without us even realising that they are there. Pink Rose Essence will quickly pop these into awareness and make it easier for you to see what is going on. I find this such an invaluable help when I am working on deep stuff that is reluctant to come into the light.
• Fuchsia; this is another really helpful essence from the Karmic Essence set that I use often when I am working on deep patterns. When we have a difficult emotion holding the heart chakra temporarily closed it can be difficult to see the whole picture of an old issue. Fuchsia is a particularly good essence to help ping the emotion into awareness so that you can more easily connect with it and release it.
• Spontaneity; many of our old patterns have roots in this life in difficult situations that we have experienced in childhood. Sometimes these have caused fragments of us to separate off for protection, and these can be very wary of coming back into wholeness again. In the energies that we have at the moment you might find yourself temporarily feeling like a very much younger version of yourself. Pay attention here because something is trying to come into your awareness. Let that child part of you know that it is loved and welcome. Notice the emotions that are stuck and needing acknowledgement. The fragmented part of you may well then be willing to come back into your heart space for reintegration. Taking the Spontaneity Essence will greatly help this process to unfold for you. It will also help you to connect to child parts of you that you know are there but cannot quite reach.   

Discernment is Important

We are currently being shaken out of our comfort zones to become a new more authentic version of ourselves. The speed of change is increasing in every department of life, and as a result we are likely to find ourselves bombarded with more new ideas, information and revelations of all kinds this month, so it will be particularly important to be discerning about what we give our attention and focus to.  

There are some wonderful new ideas and alternative ways of doing things coming to the fore at the moment, that are very much in alignment with the new energies. However, alongside this the amount of irrelevant information, deliberate disinformation, untruths, manipulation and distortion that is flowing through all available outlets in our world is also increasing. Everything has a vibrational frequency attached to it and if we simply remember to feel into this frequency from a heart space, we will know whether we feel in alignment with what is being offered or not.

There are many agendas playing out in the world at the moment, and it is particularly important that we ensure that our attention is not drawn off in directions that do not align with what feels right for us. Make sure that you have a clear intention for yourself as you move through this month and on through the rest of 2026. If your focus is on awakening to your true self or expanding your connection with the Earth, with the cosmos and with Source the new energies will support you 100% in this endeavour.

The new energies are asking you to free yourself up to become more of your authentic self and to flow this unique vibrational frequency out into the world. This month, keep your frequency as high as you can, put your attention on what feels alive to you and allow anything else to flow on past in the river of life. All is well!

Essences to help

• Inner Wisdom; this is a powerful essence to take when you need some support to connect more fully with the wisdom of your soul. It will help to open the connection between the heart and higher mind bringing greater clarity and inspiration when you need to know what is right for you, something we might all find helpful this month.
• Positive Vibrations Spray; this is the spray to use any time you need to lift your vibrational frequency a few notches, cleanse your field or clear your environment. You can use this any time anywhere to bring yourself into greater vibrational alignment with your true self.

Well, that's it from us, it just remains for us to wish you a wonderful month of flow & inspiration and to send you all our love with the reminder to contact us if you need further help or support on your journey.

With Peace & Love,

Catherine & All at Crystal Herbs
