Black Pepper is an aromatic, pungent, warming herb that improves digestion.  It stimulates both the digestive and circulatory system and is known to improve coordination between different functions of the mind.

Ginger Root is a wonderful herb for digestion as it helps break down proteins to rid the stomach and intestines of gas and aids in the digestion of fatty foods.  Ginger’s warming quality improves and stimulates circulation and relaxes the muscles surrounding blood vessels, facilitating the flow of blood throughout the body and thus can alleviate High Blood Pressure.  Furthermore, studies have shown that ginger can lower cholesterol levels by reducing cholesterol absorption in the blood and liver. 

Coriander seeds promote a feeling of coolness.  The essential oil of coriander stimulates the secretion of gastric juices bringing about a calmative effect and has qualified as a good source of dietary fibre and of iron, magnesium and manganese.

Cumin seeds are very useful in digestive disorders. It is a stimulant and strengthens the functions of stomach.  Cumin seeds are also known to sharpen the mind and improve memory.

July 1 begins with the planet Mars entering the sign of Virgo suggesting that we might all be driven (Mars) by a greater sense of  attention to details, added concerns about health, safety, small pets and “cleaning up the mess.” (Virgo).

July 2 ushers in Super New Moon in Cancer (the Nurturer, Protector, Counselor, Healer, Hearth Guardian).  It takes place at 12 degrees Cancer.  New Moons are a time of New Beginnings and a great time to write down some intentions or plant new seeds of growth in some area of your life (if you know where Cancer falls in your chart, that is an excellent place to focus new intent).  Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and when Luna is transiting through Cancer, we all might tend to feel a little moody, irritable and racing for the frig to stuff our feelings or searching for a cave to hide in to protect our feelings.   The New Moon is the darkest day of the month, meaning that Luna cannot be seen in the midnight sky.  It’s not uncommon to feel kind of low, “heavy” and even a little depressed.  Some people may tend toward feeling a little melancholy and inward.

July 4-5 the Moon enters Leo suggesting that it’s time to let the Sun shine in!  Enjoy the day,  as on July 5,  Mercury is squabbling with Uranus and are embroiled in a squabble for the rest of the week, which means that things can ignite very quickly and surprising events may catch us off guard, suggesting that a Plan B might be in order.  Be careful not to over-react or over-think or say something you can’t take back.  Expect the unexpected.

July 6-7 the Moon enters Virgo.  Virgo Moons are great for putting things in order and tending to those beloved small pets.  There is also a nice Uranus- Venus (our urge to Love & Experience Pleasure) connections, suggesting some possible sudden surprises in the romance department.
