CANCER SEASON
You are returning. You are remembering. You are rising.
I wrote in depth about the sign of Cancer a couple of weeks ago. Since then, the Summer Solstice has welcomed a new Dendera—a turning of the wheel, alive with fresh energy and possibilities. The New Moon in Cancer has gently initiated our intentions around Home and Family, Safety, Growth, Intimacy, Caring, Feelings, Moods, Nurturing, and the release of old insecurities.
Astrologically, we are still experiencing a changing of the guard—transitions unlike any we’ve witnessed in our lifetimes. For SW Alumni, this season moves between the energies of Sacred Space with Nebt-Het and Sacred Healing with Sekhmet, guiding us through this profound shift.
The Full Moon on July 10th will be in Capricorn. As a Capricorn Sun, this always feels like a time when the universe holds up a mirror for me—showing where I’ve grown and what still needs tending. Let’s see what the cards have to say this time and how it is all woven together…

Seshat / Sacred Time
Now is the moment to remember that time is not your master — it is your sacred tool. Seshat, She Who Measures the Heavens, asks you: How do you mark your days? Are you filling the hours with intention, or letting them slip through uncounted?
You are invited to step into divine alignment with your inner timekeeper. Let your thoughts, words, and deeds be recorded in the great scroll of eternity. Each sunrise brings a chance to build your temple; each sunset, a call to reflect on what you’ve written in the book of your life.
Measure wisely. Create with precision. The stars await your design.
*you have the tools, you are just distracted*
The Ace of Wands
The hand of the Divine extends toward you now, offering the living wand—green, fertile, pulsing with possibility. Like Seshat with her sacred scepter, you are entrusted with the power to shape, record, and build. The sparks that fall are no accident; they are yods (or ankhs), seeds of divine inspiration scattered for you to gather.
This is a time of pure invention. But Seshat reminds you: inspiration without measure can become scattered. Align your fire with intention. Use the sacred tools of time, rhythm, and design to channel this gift into form. What will you create? What will you build in the space between sunrise and sunset?
The universe hands you the wand—now it is yours to wield.
*this is the card I pulled at the summer solstice last year :)

Seshat again… really important we get the message at this time because what we do now will affect our futures deeply…
Five years ago, I’d just released the lotus cards for inner space and was completing the atum almanac dreambook…
Trust is not a destination; it is a sacred unfolding. With each breath, you are invited to loosen the grip of fear, dissolve the fog of doubt, and step—bare, luminous—into the field of infinite possibility. Vulnerability is not weakness. It is the gateway through which the most profound beauty flows.
Call upon Al-Hafiz, The Preserver, who keeps all things in divine order, seen and unseen. Remember: nothing real can be lost. Nothing destined can be harmed. Whisper Ya-Hafiz sixteen times as the sun rises or as the stars appear, and feel the shield of divine protection encircle you.
Dare to risk the tender openness of trust. You are held. You are preserved.
Sa-Ta-Na-Ma means Infinity. Life. Death. Rebirth.
You can find it chanted in many of the songs on my Sadhana playlist.

Amen is the hidden One, the unseen and unseeable, the foundation of your being. As you breathe, remember: you are not merely the breath—you are also the stillness that breathes it. The life force moves through you, but you are the vast, unshaken space that holds it.
The breath is your first covenant with life—the silent agreement between your soul and the Divine. It is the force that carries thought from heart to body, from spirit to form.
Air is the unseen hand of creation, the messenger of your truth. In this sacred season of Akhet (inundation), as the Nile rises to flood and renew the land, so too are you called to rise and flood your life with clarity, movement, and intention.
Tehuti, the Wise Recorder, watches as you breathe your words into being. Ast, the Full Moon Mother, illuminates your path of truth and waking. The setting sun reminds you: this is a time to live the truth you have spoken, to align breath and action, thought and deed.
Pause now. Light your incense. Feel the breath move through you—mobile, sharp, subtle, clear. Let it remind you: you are the living wand, the force of boundless thought, the keeper of sacred air.
Have Patience. It will happen. Perhaps not exactly as you imagined it. Perhaps far better. But it will happen. Have patience during the in-between when you can’t see the results of your hard work and diligent investments. There are forces moving on your behalf far beyond the realms of sight. Trust them. They are bringing you precisely, with divine timing, what you need to bring your soul into the fullest expression of itself.

What are the lies that my brain is telling me right now?
Root of the Ancestors — The Call of Return
Beloved, you are being called home. The Earth Star beneath your feet hums with the memory of all who came before you—your ancestors, your lineage, your sacred agreements with this Earth. Ammonite spirals through your being, reminding you that nothing stands still. You are part of an ancient dance of evolution, a living thread woven through time, DNA, and spirit.
Black Tourmaline offers its shield, a fortress of protection around your energy. Let it anchor you. Let it clear the heaviness that no longer serves you. Trust that the Earth, in all her wisdom, knows how to hold you steady.
Al-Ali, The Most High, whispers to your soul: Faith will lift you. Destiny will open. The journey will bring you home. Repeat Ya-Ali with devotion, and feel the weight of the world grow lighter.
And now, with the Ksepana Mudra, release. Welcome your longing; let it wash through you without fear. Let go of what has clung to you too long—old stories, sorrows, and shadows. As you open your hands, you open your path. The Most High sees you. The Earth remembers you. The spiral carries you forward.
You are returning. You are remembering. You are rising.
mhmm. yes. all of this. perhaps I’ll share how these all resonate in my life on friday.
until then, much merrrr xx
Feeling very aligned with this post and thought it was written 5 days ago, me reading this, this rising was divinely timed and needed. Alhamdulillah, jazakallah khairan to you
