July 14Thursday. The Capricorn Full Moon (22 Capricorn) is at 11:40 pm. This Full Moon ilumination is a great time to note if you are operating from a Doing Addiction. (Listen to Doing Addiction Audios for more) Are you doing what you do for fear of not having enough? Or do you do what do because you are afraid you are not good enough? Or do you do what you do to distract yourself from facing your fears? Or do you do what you do because you love doing it and it brings a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment?

Julie Morgenstern describes another type of doing addiction that is the addiction to being needed usually because it helps to allay our fears about not being good enough. If we are busy taking care of other people’s needs before our own the short term fix is feeling we have accomplished something worthwhile even if it has been at the expense of truly acting responsibly toward our own lives.

Most people claim they give in to sudden requests because they hate letting others down. I say it’s more about not disappointing ourselves: We’re hooked on feeling needed. If we take a hard look at ourselveswe might see that we unwittingly encourage people to come to us for every little thing. Interruptions can also be a welcome distraction. Faced with an unpleasant taskwe’re more than happy to turn our attention elsewhere. Finallywe often don’t say no because of simple disorganization. In a choppy and shapeless daywe handle disruption immediately because we figureif not nowwhen? While it’s important to be reasonably accessible to the people you live and work withyou don’t want to spend most of your waking hours in helper mode at the expense of completing your own critical tasks. Even if you’re in crisis management orfor that matterif you’re a stay-at-home momyou need to prioritize requests. Otherwise you get trapped in a whirlwind of multitasking where you start many things and finish nothing. –Julie Morgenstern

July 15Friday. The still very Full Moon moves into Aquarius at 1:30 pm illuminating a revolution in consciousness intended to bring about innovativeradical change fulfilling the Aquarian Dispensation that says everyone has the right to take responsibility for their own spiritual and evolutionary path. This means we do not need anyone to intercede on our behalf. We have the power to have our own direct connection with the divine and it is up to us to embrace the miracle and take responsibility for that connection. From Celestial Timings
