Welcome back to another edition of our monthly newsletter!  

June has been a month of warmth and light, not just in the sun-filled days here in the UK, but in the energetic shifts rippling through our world. With some of the biggest solar flares ever recorded, and global events reminding us of life’s unpredictability, it’s natural to feel a mix of hope and challenge.

In times like these, our focus matters more than ever. The world may change fast, but we have the power to curate our own experience, choosing where to put our attention, what to nourish, and how to move forward with intention and positivity.

This month, we invite you to explore new ways of curating your own experience, whether that’s through mindfulness, laughter, or making small, positive changes in your world. Together, let’s celebrate the journey, support each other’s growth, and keep adding to the unique toolbelt that helps you move forward with clarity and joy.

Here’s to a July filled with learning, transformation, and a little more light.

In Celestial Compass, we chart the cosmic currents for the month ahead. Dive into a celestial sea of moon cycles, planetary dances, and stellar surprises that may shape your journey. Whether you're a seasoned stargazer or a curious cosmic novice, our astrological forecast illuminates the path, helping you navigate the ebb and flow of celestial energies. Let the stars guide you as you curate your month's adventures!

Why I’m Sharing, Not Writing, Your Monthly Astrology Outlook

At The Alchemy of Being, we believe in curating, not creating. I’ve realised that by writing my own monthly horoscope forecasts, I was stepping into creating content that many brilliant astrologers already do far better. Playing to our strengths means focusing on what we do best - curating the very best tools, insights, and resources for you.

So, from now on, I’ll be curating and sharing the best astrology forecasts available, rather than writing my own. If you want an astrological forecast to help you plan your month by the skies, here are two of my favourite trusted sources:

Moon Omens  

Read your personalised monthly horoscope by zodiac sign  

Moon Omens offers detailed, soulful horoscopes for every sign, helping you understand life’s patterns and find your own harmony. Their guidance is practical, supportive, and deeply nurturing.

Forever Conscious  

Explore monthly astrology forecasts

Forever Conscious provides gentle, intuitive forecasts that blend cosmic insight with emotional wellbeing. Their outlooks encourage self-reflection and personal growth in a clear, accessible way.

Both sites update regularly with fresh forecasts, so you’ll always have high-quality astrological insight at your fingertips. 

But I just couldn’t not mention these two big events in July that are set to make it a huge month, astrologically speaking. You all know how I love a retrograde, and this month we get two - Mercury and Saturn both go retrograde, bringing a real chance to pause, reflect, and reset. And on 11 July, there’s a rare and electric meeting of Venus and Uranus. Expect the unexpected: sudden insights, new connections, and a shake-up in how you see love, beauty, and freedom.

If you want all the details and guidance on how to work with these energies, check out the July forecasts from Moon Omens and Forever Conscious. 

Thank you for trusting The Alchemy of Being as your guide and curator on this beautiful path.

In Myth & Mindfulness, we shine a light on common misconceptions in the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) world, then shatter them with the hammer of science and reason. Each month, we'll tackle a well-established myth, dissecting it with neuroscience, evidence, and logical analysis. Our goal? To empower you with knowledge, challenge assumptions, and open new pathways of understanding. Get ready to have your mind expanded as we separate fact from fiction in the realm of wellness and transformation!

In Giggle Gallery, we explore the incredible benefits of laughter and share insights on how it can enhance your well-being. Each month, we’ll present a fun challenge to help you increase the joy and laughter in your life. We encourage you to embrace these moments and share your experiences with us on social media—let’s spread the joy together!

In Sustainable Steps, we highlight the importance of being mindful of our impact on the world as we embark on our personal journeys of growth. Each month, we’ll share a sustainable step you can take to live more eco-consciously and contribute to a healthier planet. Join us in making a positive difference, one step at a time!

In Witty Wonders, we share a cleverly curated meme, cartoon, or humorous video that resonates deeply with us. Each selection provokes thought through its cleverness, sarcasm, or revelatory nature, reminding us that a good laugh can spark insight and add a touch of joy to our lives. Get ready to chuckle or reflect!

In Eventful Encounters, we highlight intriguing online and in-person events—both free and paid—that deserve your attention. Each month, we’ll share our recommendations, including what makes these events unique, any personal experiences we have, and why you might want to consider attending. Whether it’s a quirky workshop or a thought-provoking seminar, we’re here to help you discover opportunities that enrich your journey!

Here are some events that we think you may want to consider signing up for:
