Your July spirit animal + energy horoscope: it's time for antelopes and action!

A bad case of couch-itis (as in, you’re having trouble getting off of it, metaphorically or literally) can be a serious drag on your productivity—and your life. If you’re ready to break free of procrastination, this is the month to do it, says “RockStar Shaman” Alyson Charles. Here’s everything you need to know about the spirit animal Charles sees coming in for July, the antelope—and how it can help you take action and reach for your dreams. 

Wow, June took us so many different places! Internally and externally, June showed us ways to explore and started to connect us more with our dear planet again. Here in the northern hemisphere, with the warmth of the sunshine and flowers fully blooming, it helps us to remember what a miracle Great Mother Earth truly is, always.

As we head into July, there will be some very powerful and juicy feelings of stretching and expanding. When you are presented with situations that are taking you out of your comfort zone—that are requiring a version of you that’s a bit beyond what you usually do—embrace them and lean into them.

Antelope is more apt to align with you and your energies if you have a defined, clear goal—even more reason to take some meditation time right now and make some decisions you’ve put off making.

The blessed spirit animal who is with us all month to support us is the incredible antelope. Call upon the antelope to assist you in knowing that the power is you and that the time is now to take clear action. If at any point in July you feel overwhelmed, balled up in confusion or fogginess, ask for antelope to come forth to empower and support you. Plus, antelope is more apt to align with you and your energies if you have a defined, clear goal—even more reason to take some meditation time right now and make some decisions you’ve put off making, then bring antelope in to walk right alongside of you as you take the next steps needed for goal manifestation!

As we are being stretched to up-level in life, we typically move into realms that are more unknown.
