Ah, Can you believe it is August? The New Moon of July 30th in Leo carries us into August with power, creativity and the strength to move forward with a new vision, adaptation, change and a new paradigm. Once again, it is Mercury Retrograde again (Aug 2 - 26th) the time to RE-anything - so the perfect opportunity to Reorganize, revise, revisit, reevaluate your plans -This retrograde is in the beginning of Virgo is saying to each of us that if we always articulate and pay attention to the minute details, we will be playing it safe and be avoiding much of the frustrations and upsets this period can bring with it. Time to RElive the feelings of the group with its peer pressures and pleasures. Flexibility is key - so work to go along with the flow and identify "check points" of progress. If you are paying attention and AWARE, then provide yourself some slack and wiggle room as it will allow you to flow more freely with the intention that everything that you wish to accomplish will be done within Divine timing (so if you are rigid - or adamantly persistent then you are just setting yourself up!). You may wish to ask yourself one of my favorite questions - How is that working for you? Utilize this month to REestablish a new basis to approach your dreams and desires with an action plan to create it becoming reality.
The Tarot card for August is the Star - as a glimmer of hope is here shining upon us as things become more balanced. Happiness, a feeling of well-being and the rewards of past hard work are likely. Renewal, creativity and the completion of a journey or cycle are all aspects of the Star. Stronger connection within and also with Spirit as we achieve a new balance fortified with the stability of the foundation we have been building with self from the earlier parts of the year.
Full moon Aug 13th in Aquarius suggests that we look beyond what we see, and to see things as they really are. See beyond the emotions, think and visualize the effects our thoughts and actions may create. Timing is perfect for a reality check. We need to see and imagine our thoughts and actions in a positive and constructive direction, which will continue to lead to new beginnings and explorations, instead of seeing the end of the road that goes nowhere. Our greatest advantage in being positive is that through our disappointments, defeats and experience, we learn to pick ourselves up and start all over again and move forward. Knowing these" failures" are only stepping stones to the success of our endeavors. It is our positive attitude that gives us the determination and energy to continue until we reach our goals.
As the Mercury retrograde is completed on the 26th we roll into the New moon Aug 28th in Virgo - Great time for some plan and structure as Virgo like plans, checklists accountability and some structure. Virgo is usually a bit of a perfectionist so create a plan that works for you and put action to your plan consistently -
Things that would be beneficial for this month: Take your time. Create plans, dream, and vision. Work to have compassion and pay attention close attention to what you think, hear, feel and say. Be flexible. Be open to the suggestions or those whom you respect and love - though be discerning with what you do with that information. Also BIG information and opportunity for healing, release and closure with Parent/child relationships (especially mother daughter connections). Great time to complete a cleanse, and Reinstitute behaviors that support your health on any/all level.
Physical challenges that you may experience encounter or observe: Dizziness or confusion. Feelings of weariness, tired. Viruses & infections. Challenges with immune system/digestion. Shortness of breath, heart-challenges, circulation issues or "Restrictions" (asthma, prostrate, bladder, lung, nerves, muscles). With the energy of the Tarot card Star - there is renewal, and repair. Also in combination with retrograde, (energy slows down) more people release - whether that be by leaving the planet, recovery, renewal or transformation and "enlightenment". It is ALL good.
