The month begins with the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 1st of August, and this
Full Moon illuminates your eleventh house of friendships, groups of people, team
work, communities, networking, social circles, collaborations with others, tribe of
people, and soul family, but also your desires, long-term dreams, goals, and
aspirations. This Full Moon can bring amazing breakthroughs and insights about
what you want and what you’ve planned. Expect innovative and creative
solutions about your future. Expect emotionally charged relationships and
connections with your friends and people from your community. This energy can
bring endings, culminations, closures, fruitions, and fulfillments. If you’ve been
working on something with a certain group of people, this energy can bring things
to a fruition, and you can expect manifestation of your teamwork and group
activities. You can also expect successful online connections with people and
networking, but this energy can also bring endings and closures. This can mean
that it is possible that a certain connection with someone ends for some reason,
that your membership is now ending, or that you may leave a certain community
and join a new one. Your group activities are under the spotlight, and things that
have been unknown will become known now.
Also on the 1st of August, your ruler Mars makes a supportive and friendly
aspect with the great benefic Jupiter. This is amazing for you, and you can
expect great support and expansion of good things in your life. Your ruler Mars is
in Virgo in your sixth house of work, daily routines, habits, schedules, health,
pets, diet regime, exercise regime, responsibilities, and obligations. Jupiter is in
Taurus in your second house of money, earnings, resources, finances, self-worth,
and priorities. Mars and Jupiter are in a good combination, and you can expect
expansion of your resources but also your work. You may be working more and
earning more money, as well as earning more self-esteem and self-worth. You
will be able to make your life more sustainable, sufficient, and worth living now.
You have support now to start something new, which will bring you more of an
ability to trust yourself and recognize your own capacities and possibilities.
On the 12th of August, the Sun in Leo will make a trine with Chiron in your sign.
Then, on the 13th of August, the Sun and Venus retrograde will be together in
your fellow Fire sign Leo, in your fifth house of love, children, joy, and pleasure.
On the 14th of August, Venus retrograde will also trine Chiron in your sign. This
is an amazing time for deep healing that will be rooted in love. But since Venus is
retrograde in Leo and making trine with Chiron, you will be turned more inwards,
retrospecting, looking within, and searching for your inner gold. Leo represents
the heart of gold, and the fifth house represents love, while Venus represents
love, beauty, and harmony. You will now have an amazing opportunity to deal
with your wounds with greater and deeper understanding, with pure heart, and
with trust in your soul. You will be dealing with your past wounds, identity
wounds, personal wounds, and wounds that are related to your birth, health,
physical appearance, and earliest expression of who you are. You will now be
able to nurture yourself and start a harmonious relationship with yourself. You will
be able to search for your inner gold and find it through your wounds and past
hurts.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon in Leo, and as you can see, Leo is
very active and strong this whole month. This is great for you since Leo is your
fellow Fire sign, and Leo’s energies make a supportive, friendly, and harmonious
trine aspect with your sign. This is a beautiful new beginning for you, and you will
be celebrating something new. You may start a new creative project or you may
be doing new things with your children if you have them. These are also new love
beginnings and renewals of existing love relationships. Even though Venus is
retrograde in Leo, this New Moon brings new beginnings to those things from the
past that you’re dealing with. Expect a new taste of forgiveness and a new way of
feeling and experiencing love in your life. These are new beginnings with your
children but also with the child within you. Expect new hobbies and refreshment
of life that will bring you back the fire that might have been lost for a while.
On the 22nd of August, your ruler Mars makes an opposition with Neptune in
Pisces. Mars is still in Virgo and will oppose Neptune in Pisces in your twelfth
house of spirituality, transcendence, otherworldly experiences, and dreams, but
also fantasies, deceptions, illusions, delusions, and confusion. This can result in
some kind of mental fog, exhaustion, and confusion in your everyday life, but this
is a short-term aspect so don’t worry too much about it. It will soon be gone, so
just be patient when things seem to get out of your control around the 22nd of
August. Things may seem a bit irritating and frustrating, and you may feel
prevented or obstructed in some way by mental and physical restlessness.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo, and on the same day, Mercury
stations retrograde in its own sign of Virgo. This all happens in your sixth house
of everyday work, everyday tasks, obligations, duties, schedules, service to
others, pets, health, energy level, and time management. You may have a lot of
unfinished business to finish and sort out while Mercury is retrograde here.
Mercury will be retrograde until the 14th of September, and you will have enough
time to clear your desk, clean any mess that you may have, sort things out, and
finish the unfinished business. This period invites you to reassess, review, and
re-evaluate your work, health, job, working place, service to others, pet, everyday
habits and routines, and lifestyle. You will get a second chance to do something
now. There is a possibility of past things and opportunities resurfacing,
particularly in relation to your health and work. You may be able to resolve some
health issues that you might have been dealing with, or you may make things
clear when it comes to your work and obligations. You may also have to do
something that you have forgotten to do or that you thought you were finished
with. Mercury retrograde in Virgo is also fantastic for re-evaluating or changing
your decisions from the past if you need to.
On the 25th of August, your ruler Mars makes a trine with Pluto in Capricorn.
These are beautiful trines with earth energies that are happening with your ruler
Mars this month, and you will be greatly supported by these energies now. You
will be able to do something concrete, get real, deal with things in a physical and
tangible way, make things happen, and see manifestation of certain things you’ve
been working on. Pluto is currently retrograde in Capricorn in your tenth house of
career, ambitions, profession, reputation, goals, success, and contribution. Mars
is in your house of hard work, practicality, efficiency, and service to others. You
can prosper through your work now. You can expect great power in your career,
with transformative success and recognition for the hard work that you’re doing.
You will gain great power and strength thanks to this.
On the 27th of August, your ruler Mars enters your opposite sign Libra and
activates your seventh house of relationships, marriage, unions, separations,
commitments, and one-on-one relationships and partnerships. This is very
important for you. You will be very active with people in your life, with your love
partner, business partners, or with anyone with whom you have one-on-one
relationship with. You will be taking risks in your partnerships, and you will be
very direct and straightforward. You will stand up for yourself, and you will be
bold and courageous in your relationships with others. Just be careful of possible
anger projections in your relationships, as well as impulsive and reactive
behavior. You may feel easily provoked by others and you can expect some
conflicts and disagreements, which is not a bad thing if you know how to deal
with them. Mars is here to teach you about the power of collaboration, but also
the power of listening to your own voice.
On the 29th of the month Uranus, planet of shocks, surprises, sudden shifts,
awakenings, future, innovations, technology, revolution, and authenticity, stations
retrograde in Taurus in your second house of money, finances, earnings,
resources, possessions, self-sufficiency, sustainability, self-worth, self-value, and
priorities. Uranus stations retrograde every year around the same time, and this
is not something unusual or new. However, it’s a great time for surprising insights
about your worth, priorities, earnings, and need for material safety and security.
You may be surprised by what comes up while Uranus is retrograde here, and
this energy can bring you money from the past—unexpected money from the
past, money that you have forgotten about, or money you thought you won’t see
again. Unexpected incomes and expansions can happen, especially because
you also have Jupiter here.
On the 31st of August, there’s a second Full Moon happening in one month, but
this one happens in the sign of Pisces and it shines a light on your twelfth house.
It is the last house of the Zodiac, the place of mystical and mysterious events,
and the place of unexplained, intangible, unknown, unreachable, unseen, and
invisible realms and experiences. This Full Moon illuminates your
subconsciousness and reminds you of your soul, spirit, source, true origin, true
roots, and spiritual roots. But this Full Moon also has a lot to do with your
ancestors and family lineage. You will be faced with some things that need to be
seen, acknowledged, accepted, and released, and you will be shown what you
have to let go of. This Full Moon asks you to embrace the wisdom of surrender
and to search for your inner voice and inner wisdom. This is a time to relax, to
breathe, to be, to rest, to take a break, to take some time for yourself, and to
spend quality time on your own. This is the perfect time for meditation and
contemplation, for being in nature, for diving deep within yourself, and for
learning how to breathe and how to be. You will be asked to trust your intuition
and to let go of what disturbs you deeply. You are letting go of certain addictions
and damaging patterns. These things will be revealed to you, and you will be
given a great push forward after this energy.
There is a child in the foreground playing joyfully in the card. The Sun shines
down on everything with its brilliant rays, offering warmth, fulfillment, happiness,
and joy. The Sun spreads its life energy over everything. The child represents our
innocence, purity, and joy, and the child is naked, has nothing to hide. The child
wears the sunflower crown, which represents contentment, abundance, and
happiness. The child rides a white horse, and the white horse is always a symbol
of purity, nobility, innocence, freedom, and strength. The child is the
personification of the Sun, of its emanation. The child has its arms wide open,
and this is an open heart, gratitude, innocence, and joy.
This is the card of pure joy, pure innocence, light, love, warmth, vitality, fulfillment,
and satisfaction. Darkness is revealed, and then the Sun shines brightly and
makes all shadows and darkness disappear. You can expect joy and happiness
coming your way. You can expect great clarity. You can expect light after
darkness. This is a time of rebirth, when the clouds are gone, and there is only a
bright blue sky—all is clear and pure. This is a card of abundance and strength,
and you can expect these things in your life now. This is about your own light that
you radiate toward others, and this also has to do with your relationships. You are
learning about yourself a lot through your relationships with others. The card that
precedes this one is the Moon. The Moon is about shadows, the night, hidden
things, and unanswered questions. The Sun represents answers to these
questions, clarity, and understanding, unveiling the truth and revealing that which
was hidden, and you can expect revelations during this time. You radiate love
toward others, and others are drawn to you because they feel your warmth and
confidence. This is a card of good feelings, and you can expect lucky events and
situations. If you’ve been experiencing tough times lately, you can expect sunny
times in your life now. You will see how things improve now and how reality
becomes brighter and more attractive. This card reminds you to look at the
brighter side of life, and this is also a reminder that after the dark, there is always
light; after night, always comes the day. The Sun never fails to come up every
morning. You are waking up from hibernation. You are refreshed, energized, and
ready to move on. Say yes to life and celebrate life itself. This is a card of
spiritual gratitude, spiritual freedom, spiritual journeys, and spiritual encounters
and insights. This card reminds you to see yourself as part of a whole, but also
whole itself. You are whole, but you are also a part of a greater whole. This card
reminds you to connect with simple joys and feel the pleasure of being alive,
being grateful, and just being. This card asks you to simplify your life, to focus on
what truly matter to you, and to connect to those things and people that give you
life.
Mars is a fiery planet of action, ambition, initiation, energy, drive, and passion. It
is proactive energy. It moves forward. It represents physical strength, physical
energy, vitality, and endurance. Mars is a planet that shows how you deal with
your anger. It rules your impulses and the fire in you. It rules your inner fighter
and the way you fight in the world—the way you fight for your place under the
sun. Mars is the ancient God of War; it is the archetype of a hero, a soldier on a
battlefield, and a warrior. It is very energetic and can be aggressive as well. Mars
shows how good you are in any kind of competition. It rules your energy level; it
shows how much energy you have to fight for what is right for you, to accomplish
things, to do things, or to finish things; it rules your courage, sexuality, and
reproductive system; and it represents your masculine side and your inner
warrior, but it also represents dangers, scars, accidents, and incidents. Mars
usually strengthens you in those parts that are hurt in any way, and where you
have Mars in your chart is where you have certain strength. Mars strengthens
that part of the body where you have it in your natal chart. Mars is also very
defensive and protective energy. It is very persistent, and it wants things right
here and right now. Mars is a hot and dry planet, and it shows how you fight and
conquer. It represents fearless energy, but it can also be very violent and toxic.
- Imagine your own death. Become more intimate with your own mortality. Be
aware of your own death. Choose one hour daily to feel it as if it is your last hour.
Feel it intensely, fully, and as a reality. Become closer and more intimate with
death. Ask your death any questions. Feel free to behave in any way. Don’t be
afraid in this space because there’s nothing to lose. Feel your death, embrace it,
go through it, let it pass through you, hug it, consume it, digest it, process it, and
live it. Imagine this powerful moment. Imagine yourself face to face with death,
and feel yourself here, in this space. Feel how powerful it is to be aware of this
moment and yourself when you’re left without everything near and dear to you.
What is left in those moments? Feel what is left when you’re face to face with
death. That is your essence, your core being. Feel it, awaken it, and enjoy the
ride.
- Observe your life as if you are observing it from somebody else's perspective.
Feel your life detached from your personal point of view. Watch yourself walk
through life as if you are watching a movie. See if you like what you're seeing. Do
you find this life interesting, purposeful, exciting, full of life, and spontaneous?
What is your impression of your life? Work on improving your life and making it
more alive and meaningful. Observe your life every day from the perspective of
somebody else and see how you can make it more rich and purposeful.
- Put your hands in front of you at the height of your eyes, so that your palms are
facing each other. Start separating and uniting your hands. Bring them close, but
don’t let your palms touch each other. Separate them, and do this in the rhythm
of your breathing. As you inhale, bring your hands almost together, and as you
exhale, separate them. Feel the harmony between your breathing and your
hands. Feel the pulsation and the rhythm. Do this for a couple of moments, and
when you’re done, just go with your hands through your whole body—from top to
bottom, the top of your head to your toes, and then back from your toes to the top
of your head. Feel the vibration. Feel your hands, your whole body, your
breathing, and the synchronicity with the whole of you.
- Imagine yourself as the sky. Feel yourself as the broadness, the wideness, the
largeness, and as a vast space. Imagine yourself being the sky. Feel all the
changes that you go through as the sky—the clouds coming and going, the Sun,
the Moon, the stars, the day and night, the dusk and dawn, the birds embraced
by you, the air, and the rays of the Sun. Feel as big as the sky. Feel eternal,
infinite, and abundant. Imagine this completely. Feel how it is to be the sky. Try to
feel this wideness as much as you can. Put yourself in the position of the sky and
observe everything that there is to observe. Look beneath you. You can see
every part of the world. Imagine this and bring this feeling into your body. Enjoy
and have fun.
- Whenever you’re taking a shower, imagine yourself as the water that is being
poured on you. Feel yourself as this water that is washing and showering you.
Try to imagine yourself as the water that is coming through the shower and falling
on your body. Feel yourself as this water. If you’re taking a bath in the bathtub,
feel yourself as the water that you’re lying in. Try to feel this, as it is a magical
feeling. Try to enliven it, and become completely absorbed by that feeling of the
water that is showering you.
- Write down awesome things that can be done on a daily basis. Write each of
those things on a single piece of paper. Mix these pieces of papers, pull one
each day, and make sure to do the thing that is written there. Be creative, as it
can be anything. Come up with new things every day and add them to the rest of
the papers. Mix papers every day, pull one paper each day, and do what is
written on it. Enjoy and have fun.
- Enjoy fresh early mornings. Wake up early and breathe in fresh morning air.
Spend some time just doing this and nothing else. Don’t read anything, listen to
anything, look at your phone, text anyone, or speak with anyone. Just be there in
the morning. Be the morning and bring the morning into your body, mind, and
heart. Feel the energy of the new day, feel the energy of a new beginning, merge
with the morning, feel the freshness and initiation, and feel the regenerative
power of the early morning smell, atmosphere, and energy. Do this if you can
every day. Your life will improve immensely if you can manage to do it. You will
feel how powerful mornings are and how different they are from other parts of the
day. There is something mystical, magical, healing, and empowering in mornings.
Use this power that is given to you. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity, as it is
right there every day.
- Create an enjoyable daily routine for yourself. Do something that you really love
and enjoy every day. Become aware of this daily joy and be present in what
you’re doing. It can be anything that you enjoy, like drinking coffee, drinking beer
at night, drinking tea with a friend, sibling, or someone, going on a daily walk,
dancing, working out, or going to a place you enjoy each day. Choose one daily
routine that has a really healing and relaxing effect on you.
- Lie down and feel your body. Just lie down and do nothing, and that’s all. Don’t
put any effort into anything. Just lie there effortlessly, fully relaxed. Do this as
many times during the day as you can. Just lie down if you have a mat; it would
be better to lie on the mat on the floor than to lie on your bed. Feel your whole
body and feel its heaviness, its weight, and just be there. Just lie there. That’s it.
Stay like this for as long as you want, and then slowly get up. Repeat as many
times as you want during the day, but make sure you do it every day.
- Do something that is totally unexpected from you, but that doesn’t hurt anyone.
Do something that is a good and positive surprise for you and others. Do
something unexpectedly positive and uplifting. Also, work on random acts of
kindness from time to time. Do these things for no special reason, and just do
them. Let this become your habit, and you will start gaining fulfillment and joy
through doing this. You will start feeling pure joy and pleasure through doing
these kinds of things.
- What are the things that resonate with me? What are the things that I do and
experience in my life that truly resonate with me, and what are the things that I do
and experience in my life that do not resonate with me?
- Do I have any idea of what my rhythm of life is? How would I describe my own
rhythm of life, my natural rhythm? Do I know what kind of rhythm is the one that
is the best for me?
- Do I know when is the right time to stop doing something and when is the right
time to start doing something? Do I know these things? Do I have the knowledge
and the wisdom of knowing the right amount, the right measure, and the right
rhythm of what I do or don’t do in my life?
- What are my dreams telling me about myself? What kind of dreams do I have?
Do I remember my dreams? What kind of themes prevail in my dreams? What
am I most afraid of in my dreams, and what am I mostly enchanted by in my
dreams? What does this tell me about myself?
TAURUS
Month begins with the Full Moon on the 1st of August in your fellow Fixed sign
Aquarius, in your tenth house of career, profession, success, reputation,
vocation, contribution, father figures, relationship with father, authority figures,
role in the world, and life direction. This Full Moon can bring a little bit of pressure
for you in these areas of your life. You may have to do something that takes you
out of your comfort zone, and honestly, this is something you’ve mastered lately.
You can expect culminations and changes in your external world, in your career,
in your business, or in your relationship with your father or father figures. Things
are being transformed on your life path, and things you’ve been working on can
come to a fruition now. Efforts you’ve been putting into your career, contribution,
and profession will definitely be recognized, noticed, and awarded during this
time.
Mars makes three Earth trines this month, and the first one happens on the 1st of
August with Jupiter in your sign. This is majestic for you and for an expansion of
your personal taste of happiness and abundance. Mars is in your fellow Earth
sign Virgo, in your fifth house of love, romance, creativity, self-expression,
children, pleasure, joy, entertainment, fun, and playfulness. Mars is very
proactive here. You will be willing to take some risks when it comes to what you
enjoy doing—your children if you have them, your business if you have one, and
your decisions related to children and the child within you. Mars is here until the
27th of August, and while it’s here, it’s pushing you towards achieving things that
are truly enjoyable and favorable for you. This trine with Jupiter in your sign is
very positive for you. You will be able to improve your physical appearance in
many ways and expand your personal joy, your personal creative powers, and
your sense of self.
Mars then trines Uranus, also in your sign, and this happens on the 16th of
August, on the same day when there’s New Moon in Leo. This trine with Uranus
in your sign can bring sudden and unexpected good things in your life. These are
the things that happen out of the blue and they change your way of living your
life. You may suddenly change the course of your life direction, suddenly fall in
love, or suddenly and unexpectedly start something that is very authentic and
original. By doing this, you start attracting good things in your life that have a role
to wake you up in an exciting way.
Mars makes third and last earth trine with Pluto in Capricorn, and this brings you
regeneration and transformation of your beliefs and ideals in a way that serves
and supports your spiritual development and spiritual growth, but also your
knowledge, wisdom, and journey in this life. You may travel to places, and those
places can deeply transform your perception and your beliefs for the better. This
can also bring you resolutions with legal matters and positive outcomes.
Throughout this whole month, your ruler Venus is retrograde in your fellow Fixed
sign Leo, making a square with your sign. On the 12th of August, Venus makes a
friendly and positive aspect with Chiron, the wounded healer, in Aries, in your
twelfth house of subconsciousness. Venus meets with the Sun in Leo on the 13th
of August, and the Sun makes the same positive and friendly aspect with Chiron
on the 14th. Middle of the month has a very strong healing effect on you, and it
can bring deep internal healing and opening of some old ancient wounds that
you’ve been carrying with you through many lifetimes. This is now like a balm to
your wound, and you will have a comforting and soothing healing energy present
within you. Venus and the Sun make a tense and heavy aspect with your sign,
but this trine with Chiron in your twelfth house will soften it and bring deep inner
healing that comes through your home, your mother, your relationship with the
mother within you, your home and family, your place of living, and your roots and
ancestors.
Your ruler Venus is retrograde this whole month and until the 4th of September.
This is a time to be introspective, reflective, think about your home and family,
reconnect with members of your family and with those who feel like a family,
reconnect with people from your past, work on resolving issues from the past,
and work on forgiveness that will serve you and everyone around you.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon happening in Leo. This is a very
strong and active energy in Leo this month, revolving around your home, family,
real estate, buying and selling a home, finding a new home, renovating, renewing
and refreshing your home, renewing your family relations, and regenerating and
rejuvenating your relationship with your inner child. This New Moon brings new
beginnings in these areas of your life, along with new creative solutions to the
issues you may have around your home and family.
On the 22nd of August, your ruler Venus makes a square with Jupiter in your
sign. This can be a bit of a pressure point in your life, where you may feel some
kind of struggle with your family or with things related to your home and place of
living. Your family obligations and things that have to do with home may
somehow limit your personal wants and needs, or you may feel limited in some
way when it comes to achieving harmony and beauty in your home and with your
family. This pressure point is actually very constructive if you manage to allow
yourself to loosen up those tight ends that might be holding you back and
preventing you from doing things that are good for you. This square with Jupiter
can actually bring you a great sense of abundance that comes from your past,
your sense of belonging, or your relationship with your mother or with the mother
within you.
On the 23rd of August, there are two important shifts happening. The Sun enters
Virgo and highlights your fifth house of love, romance, pleasure, joy,
self-expression, hobbies, gifts, and talents; and on the same day, Mercury starts
its retrograde journey in its own sign, also in Virgo and also in your fifth house.
You will be reassessing, reviewing, reconsidering, restructuring, and
re-evaluating your love life, business, creative projects, hobbies, ways of having
fun, relationship with children, and relationship with the child within you. You can
expect ex lovers to show up in your life, especially now when you have Mercury
and Venus retrograde. You can expect blessings from the past too—blessings
from the creative work you’ve been doing in the past. You will be able to finish the
unfinished business now, related to children, creativity, gifts, and talents. It is not
really the best time to start something brand new now, but it's an awesome time
for finishing something you’ve already started. You will be greatly focused on
doing the work that needs to be done. You can expect to experience great joy
and pleasure through being of service to others. This is how Virgo and the fifth
house collaborate, and you can really do something that is very tangible,
practical, efficient, and useful that brings you a deep satisfaction and joy.
On the 27th of August, Mars enters Libra and activates your sixth house of
health, work, routines, habits, everyday life, lifestyle, well-being, diet regime,
exercise regime, and service to others. Mars will be strong here in September,
but you will feel this energy during the last couple of days of August. You will be
very motivated for doing the work and being of use every day. You will be putting
a lot of energy and action into collaborating and compromising with people when
it comes to your work and health. You will be inspired to change your routines
and habits in order to make them more meaningful and healthier for you.
On the 29th of the month, Uranus stations retrograde in your sign. This is
something that is happening every year around the same time, so it’s not really
something rare or new. However, it is a more inward and introspective energy,
especially because Mercury and Venus are also retrograde this month. This is
the energy of internal action, inner work, introspection, and intuitive learning that
will be very strongly accentuated and brought to light.
On the 31st of August, there’s a second Full Moon happening in the sign of
Pisces, in your eleventh house of communities, friendships, groups of people,
social circles, people you collaborate with in any way, soul family, tribe, and
like-minded people. This Full Moon brings things to light and may reveal
something about someone to you. This energy can bring certain culminations,
endings, closures, and resolutions with a friend, someone from your community,
or someone you know and interact with. You can also expect to see some of your
long-range goals and dreams coming to a fruition now, or you may say goodbye
to a certain plan or dream that is outdated and that needs to be transformed. You
are letting go of certain people or certain dreams now, and you’re supported on
this path. You are surrendering and trusting the process, especially when it
comes to your relationships with people—your group activities, your
communities, and your highest aspirations.
This is also about being methodical and having a plan. This card speaks of the
need of knowing things in advance, to know what awaits you and what you need
for this journey. This is someone who respects all the rules and all the signs. It is
very possible that you will have this kind of person around you during this time,
and this person can be of enormous help, but don’t count on spontaneity and fun
with this person. This is someone who wants to finish their tasks and to show up
on time everywhere. This Knight is not in a rush. He plans. He knows he will
succeed when the time is right. He waits for the right moment, which could also
mean that you’re waiting for the right moment for something. You are all set up
and ready. Everything is prepared, as the Knight is fully equipped and ready, just
waiting for the right moment. But don’t be fooled by his calmness—he is a Knight.
This is Fire energy, energy of action. It is just a different manifestation of what
we’re used to seeing when Knights in Tarot show up and always run into
something. This card is related to physical pleasure, sensual pleasure, and
sexual pleasure, which sometimes means that this pleasure can last a whole
night. The Knight is someone who keeps his promises, and he always checks
everything—is everything done properly? Is everything right? Is everything where
it should be? When this card is pulled for a reading, it gives you a message that if
you feel tired or exhausted with something, if you feel like giving up, don’t give up
yet. Be a bit more persistent. But if a situation is on hold for too long, if nothing
happens, and if it’s stagnant, then this card means that you are too stubborn and
you should let it go. It may be hard to discern, but this card suggests that you will
know if you’re being too stubborn with something that is actually not working or if
you’re giving up on something that is about to give results. This is a friend one
can only wish for, so look around and see if there are some Knights of Pentacles
in your close surroundings.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother, but also with Mother Nature, inner
Goddess, and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon represents
nurturing, caring, and nourishing energy, and it is also associated with the mind
and the fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us overly emotional,
reactive, easily provoked, and irritated, but it can also make us compassionate,
kind, gentle, and friendly. It is always a reminder that we have to work with our
emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon represents people as well
and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our daily life and daily habits, and
it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and our heart, our nerves and our
cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our routines and habits. The Moon
quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning to waxing phase, and it affects
the fluids and the water in our body; water symbolically always represents
emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations, too. The Moon is also related to
receptive energy, the feminine principle, instincts and intuition, and rhythms and
cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system and our eating patterns related to
our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions, the way we react, unconsciousness
and unconscious patterns, relationship with the mother, past, past lives, growing
up, and subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are
packed with those memories. The Moon has a lot to do with our soul food, what
feeds our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and
imagination, and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our
home, family, roots, and ancestors, and it also rules our space and need for
security.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon in the most valuable, meaningful,
purposeful, and liberating way, you are invited to honor your feelings and accept
things that are outside of your control. You are asked to nurture yourself, to
re-parent yourself, to work on emotional growth and emotional maturity, to work
on expressing yourself in a creative and freeing way, and to work on healthy
emotions without suppressing or denying those emotions that are considered to
be unhealthy. All emotions are there for a specific reason and you shouldn’t be
afraid of any of them. You shouldn’t run away from any of them. You are asked to
trust emotions and to work on their acceptance. Observe your emotions,
especially those emotions that are triggered within your family, and emotions that
are triggered by things related to your career, success, contribution,
achievements, reputation, authority, profession, goals, and ambitions. Pay
attention to those emotions that are related to your parents, mother and father,
other family members, home where you live in, and home where you grew up in.
How attached are you to your home and family? Do you suffer because of those
attachments? What are those attachments telling you about yourself? Do you
feel emotionally safe and secure? What do you feel is missing? What is your
greatest emotional desire? What kind of recognition are you yearning for? What
kind of independence do you need, and what kind of nurturance do you want and
demand in life? All these questions are important now. You will be asked these
questions or you will be asking yourself these questions, and they can get you
closer to some of the key emotional resolutions. Work on emotional freedom,
focus on emotional freedom, and contemplate on emotional freedom. Write it
down, and see what is emotional freedom for you and how you perceive it. Let
yourself feel all the feelings and trust the process fully without doubts in what
you’re going through. Observe, accept, forgive, let go, release, and transform.
- Choose one word in your native language where the sound makes you feel
something greater, deeper, illuminating, awakening, profound, and deeply
moving. Now, use this word to create an affirmative sentence and do this every
day throughout this month. Create new affirmation every day using this word. Let
this word be your guidance. Choose wisely.
- Whenever you feel restless, nervous, too busy, too worried, or stressed about
whether you're on time to somewhere, not being able to achieve everything you
want, something is always missing, or feel lost, ask yourself: "Where am I?" and
give yourself an answer: "Here." Ask yourself: "What time is it?" and answer:
"Now." Repeat this as your mantra throughout the day each day. Remember that
you are always here and now. This will always put you in the present moment,
and you will start empowering that inner centeredness wherever you are. Enjoy
doing this exercise and the benefits of doing it. This exercise always puts you
back on the right track and always reminds you to be present, to be in the here
and now, regardless of what you’re going through.
- Write down the most painful experience you had in your life. Write it down or tell
it to yourself. First, write or speak about your experience in first person, second
person, and third person. Express your story through the “I” angle, through the
“YOU” angle, and then through the “HE/SHE” angle. Enjoy the healing effect of
this amazing technique.
- Go over all the heavy feelings that you hold inside, that you can think of, that
you can remember, and that you still carry. Think of all the anger, injustice, and
past memories that still cause you trouble. Look at these things and dare to take
responsibility for all those things. Say: “I am fully responsible for this, and that is
my responsibility. I am the only one in charge of how I feel about that.” This will
give you the power to release these emotions and to liberate yourself from them,
and you won’t blame anyone or anything and you won’t depend on others. You
know that nobody else can make it go away because it’s nobody’s fault. It is your
responsibility for how you feel, and you are owning it now. This will give you a
great sense of authority and self-esteem, and you will be able to build great inner
muscles if you keep doing this every day.
- Breathe through your heart. Inhale harmony, balance, beauty, truth, abundance,
and love through your heart. Exhale everything that is making you disbalanced,
uncomfortable, heavy, and worried. Do this process as many times as you want.
Enjoy the process. Feel it in your heart.
- Go through old family photos and find one photo that strongly resonates with
you. Find one that makes you feel something strong within. Use it, contemplate
on it, meditate on this photo, observe it, close your eyes, feel this photo, enliven
it, go through it, feel it, and live it. See what new answers, insights, and feelings
you gain through this.
- When you wake up in the morning, don't forget to say to yourself: "Good
Morning, Beauty, my love, and my everything. Welcome to the brand new day of
your life. Welcome to brand new moments, feelings, breaths, and impressions.
This is the day you have never lived before. Welcome and enjoy this unique
moment in time." You can also come up with your own good morning sentence.
You can add things to this one or you can remove things that you don’t like.
What’s important is to use these powerful words for yourself each morning, to
use these thoughts and send this kind of energy to yourself, and to start your day
in this way—empowered, uplifted, loved, and appreciated.
- Practice five tibetans every day. See how they’re done, choose how many times
you’re going to repeat these exercises, and make sure you do at least six
repetitions for the start. You can gradually increase this number. This is a very
powerful thing to do every day. This helps you on many levels and improves the
quality of your life. Do your research about it, see how it’s done, and start
practicing it.
- Smile to your organs every day. Send smiles to your organs. Think about them
and smile at them. This is how you keep them vital, rejuvenated, taken care of,
and healthy. Practice this every day, a couple of times a day.
- What are my ways of relaxing myself? What are my ways of resting and
relaxing? What is the most enjoyable and pleasurable thing that I do for myself,
and how often do I do it?
- How do I behave and feel in those moments when things are outside of my
control? What is my reaction, and how does that affect me? How do I change due
to changes that happen in life that I cannot control?
GEMINI
Month begins with the Full Moon in your fellow Air sign Aquarius on the 1st of
August, and this is the first Full Moon this month out of two Full Moons. The
second one happens at the very end of the month, on the last day of August, in
the sign of Pisces, in your fellow Mutable sign. These two Full Moons will impact
you in a significant way, and you can expect strong breakthroughs and
revelations that can redirect your life path. The first Full Moon in Aquarius makes
a supportive and friendly aspect with your sign, shining a light on your ninth
house of higher meaning, higher purpose, higher education, higher knowledge,
higher mind, and everything that is higher and vertical. This is the house of
wisdom, philosophy, beliefs, ideals, religion, legal matters, long distance travels,
foreign countries, spiritual pursuits, spiritual practices, spiritual teachers, and
spiritual teachings. You can expect culminations in these areas of your life, and
this is a great time for traveling, learning, teaching, connecting with people from
all over the world, being on the road, and learning things that expand your
consciousness, vision, and perception in an original and authentic way. You may
be involved with a group of people who come from different parts of the world, or
you may connect with someone who can teach you something valuable. This is
an amazing time for spiritual breakthroughs, for reaching the end of a certain part
of the journey, for finishing studies, for passing exams, and for learning
something that will serve you and stretch your perspectives and mental abilities.
On the same day when this Full Moon happens, there’s another beautiful aspect
happening—a supportive trine aspect between Mars and Jupiter. Mars will be
making three positive trine aspects, and these trines are happening in Earth
signs. This is strong material energy that brings concrete and tangible results.
Even though these Earth placements are making a bit of an awkward angle with
your sign, they will be working in your favor eventually. Mars in Virgo makes its
first trine with Jupiter in Taurus, and this can bring you benefits through your
home, family, emotional patterns, and emotional well-being. Your emotions can
lead you towards your inner peace, and your sense of belonging can bring you
that sense of inner peace. You can also expect expansion of your insights
through the things that have to do with your home and family. You may be a bit
obsessed with your home and family with Mars here until the 27th of August. The
second trine happens on the 16th of the month between Mars and Uranus, also
in Taurus in your twelfth house, and this brings sudden and unexpected changes
that can turn out to be very beneficial and supportive. You will be very proactive
when it comes to your home and family, and this energy can bring unexpected
gifts, mental breakthroughs, unexpected healing of your past, and out of the blue
blessings and manifestations of some of your dreams. Third trine happens
between Mars and Pluto on the 24th of August, and this trine brings positive
transformations and changes, wanted rebirths and regenerations, and
transformations that will have a long-term positive influence on you, your home,
your place of living, your relationship with your family, and your shared resources.
Your ruler Mercury also makes a trine aspect with Jupiter in Taurus. This brings
positive communication with your family members, good exchange of energies,
exchange of words, and powerful agreements with family members. It may or
may not be a bit tense and critical from time to time this month, due to Mercury’s
retrograde motion that begins on the 23rd of August.
On the 12th of August, the Sun in Leo also makes a positive and friendly trine
aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in Aries, in your eleventh house of
friendships, communities, groups of people, older brothers and sisters, and
teamwork. On the 13th of August, the Sun and Venus retrograde make a
conjunction, which means that they will be bond together in fiery and playful Leo,
in your natural third house of communications, everyday connections, relatives,
neighbors, siblings, people you meet every day, words, conversations, learning,
teaching, sharing information, exchanging news, and messages. You can expect
empowering news and messages during this time. On the 14th of August, Venus
retrograde makes another trine aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in Aries.
These couple of days bring strong and powerful healing of your relationships with
others, healing of your communication with people, healing of your past
connections with others, and healing of anything that has to do with your place
amongst others and your connections with people. Some of those wounds will be
activated now, and they will be treated with kindness and generosity.
Venus is retrograde in your natural third house, and the Sun is also there until the
23rd. There’s a New Moon happening here in Leo on the 16th of August. This is
an amazing energy for you, dear Gemini. You can experience miraculous energy
with people from your close surroundings, your local community, your siblings
and relatives, and your neighbors. Expect new and old friends to show up in your
life, and expect reconnection with old relatives or old neighbors. Expect
harmonious and loving communications with people. You may be revisiting
places you’ve been to before. Expect short local trips that can inspire and teach
you many things, enriching your mental abilities and skills. You will be learning
something significant during this time and your words will have enormous power.
You may be aware of the power of words, but this month will show you how
powerful spell words are. You can expect blessings from the past this whole
month. You will be given amazing opportunities to improve your social status, to
improve your social connections and social skills, to put love into your words and
conversations, to put love into all your expressions, and to see how miracles
happen easily when you know how to use words in a true and harmonious way.
On the 22nd of August, there’s a bit of a tricky aspect between Mars in Virgo and
Neptune in Pisces. Mars is in your fourth house of home and family while
Neptune is in your tenth house of career and success. You may feel a bit
confused and possibly irritated when it comes to these two polarities. You may
feel a strong push and pull energy between your home and your career, as well
as between your private life and your public life. You may fall into some kind of an
illusion when it comes to your profession, ambitions, family, and emotional
stability. But this is a short-term aspect and it will quickly pass. Just be careful
around this date and rely on common sense.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mercury and Mars in your
fourth house of home, family, emotional stability, core emotions, mother, inner
child, place of living, roots, and childhood. This is a strong area of your life this
whole month and it will be strong in the next month too. On the same day when
the Sun enters Virgo, Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo and will be retrograde
until the 14th of September. Mercury is your ruler and it is in the core area of your
chart, in your fourth house of emotional maturity, emotional intelligence,
emotional health, emotional stability, relationship with your mother and family,
house situation, and residency. You will be revisited by ghosts from the past, and
you can expect past issues within your family to rise again in order to be
acknowledged, corrected, resolved, and cleared. You may experience some
misunderstandings and miscommunications with family members, but this will
lead you towards resolutions and clearer communications. You are reconnecting
with family members and you’re also reconnecting with your inner child,
childhood, roots, and past. Mercury retrograde in Virgo can be very
detail-oriented and focused on the past, but this is also the perfect time for
relaxation and holidays with your family or with those who feel like your family.
You may be visiting your family if you don’t live together, or family may visit you,
and you may have a chance to find a home you’ve been looking for. If you
wanted to relocate or sell a home, you may have a second chance to do so now.
Just be careful with brand new contracts, plans, and ideas. It is a great time for
finishing the unfinished business related to your home and family and for having
flexible schedules. Stay away from rigid and strict plans, and don’t promise too
much to others because you may not be able to deliver all your promises now.
Use this energy to go within, to have inner dialogues with your inner child and
inner family, and to go back to something in order to understand it better now.
You can expect to discover some things from your family's past and to receive
deep insights that will bring you relief. Patience is also very important now, as
well as the way you use your words and power of communication.
On the 31st of August, there’s a second Full Moon happening in your fellow
Mutable sign Pisces at the top of your chart, in your tenth house of success,
ambitions, reputation, contribution, social status, career, profession, external
achievements, father and relationship with father, relationship with authority
figures, and own authority. This Full Moon brings some things to a head when it
comes to your career and success. You can expect culminations, manifestations,
fulfillments, and fruitions in your profession and contribution. You may have
something powerful to share with the world. Your message can be heard now,
and you will use your intuitive power and intuitive knowledge in your career and
your role in the world. You may experience certain fulfillment of your career
dreams. Saturn is also here in Pisces and Neptune. The ruler of this Full Moon is
also in Pisces, so this is highly spiritual and healing energy when it comes to your
profession and life direction. Some things may come to an end, some chapters
are closing, and you may finally see some project coming to an end if there is
something you’ve been working on for quite some time. This is also a great time
for dealing with your father or dominant people in your life, for dealing with your
authority issues, and for letting go of toxic authority patterns that you may have
been unaware of but that are surfacing now so that you can see and heal them.
Gemini relationship with inner self
Dear Gemini, you are coming back to yourself in every meaning of those words,
and you will have plenty of blessings that you will pick up along the way. You will
be picking up fragmented, forgotten, and long lost parts of your being, and you
will feel how you’re being found and rediscovered again by yourself. There’s no
better feeling than this. You will have a strong will and impulse to feel yourself
through all chapters, all periods, whole past, all relationships, all ups and downs,
all failures and rises, and the power of who you are. You will like how you have
nothing to lose. Many of you will realize that you really have nothing to lose in
this realm, as what is yours is always with you. You will feel the power of owning
what is truly yours—owning your authenticity, individuality, soul’s expression, and
shadow. You are expanding your consciousness in a beautiful, harmless,
painless, and gentle way. You are removing blindfolds that have been patched
onto your heart and soul. You will have an ability to clearly see with your inner
eyes, to have a clear inner vision, and to feel the power of knowing and owning
yourself. Your ruler Mercury goes retrograde this month in your fourth house of
home, family, emotional stability, emotional needs, emotional wounds, emotional
health, and emotional maturity. Mercury retrograde will put more focus on your
inner self, private world, emotional processes, and emotional setup. You can
expect deep conversations with your inner child and your past. You will be
clearing the air between you and your past, between you and your inner child,
and between you and your relationship with your family. You are discovering the
new language within yourself, and you realize that this language has been within
you all the time. This is intuitive and universal language, a language that is not
learned but earned through personal experience, feelings, silence, acceptance,
observation, meditation, hardships, and sufferings. This kind of language will be
revealed to you now. You will be deeply grateful for what you’ve been through
and what you’re experiencing right now, even if it means that some things will
have to go now. You now have the capacity to understand some really deep
truths that explain to you your journey in a more simple way. You are learning
how to rise above the trivial everyday worries and fears, and you realize that
each journey is truly a precious gift that needs to be lived and experienced with
full awareness and responsibility. You are always on the right path wherever you
are. Remember this and don’t doubt your journey because even if you do take
some wrong turns, life will put you back on the track eventually and you will be
always redirected in the right way, again and again.
Gemini relationship with others
Dear Gemini, this month is extremely important for your relationships with people
because this area of your life is hugely accentuated and brought to light in many
shapes and forms. You will be dealing with things from the past when it comes to
your relationships and your past, including your family—your relatives, siblings,
neighbors, and local community. You have two personal planets retrograde, and
one of them is your ruler Mercury. Venus is already retrograde in Leo and
Mercury will station retrograde on the 23rd of August, but its retrograde motion
will be felt throughout the whole month. Venus is retrograde in your third house of
siblings, neighbors, relatives, everyday communications and connections, short
trips, and people from your close surroundings. Mercury is retrograde in Virgo in
your fourth house of home, family, mother, family members, and those who feel
like your family. So, you will be very busy with reviewing, reassessing,
reconsidering, restructuring, repairing, regenerating, rejuvenating, refreshing,
re-establishing, and re-evaluating your relationships with people. Everything that
begins with RE will be very active in your relationships with others. You will also
experience a gentle and comforting healing process with a friend or with a group
of people, due to the supportive and friendly aspect that will happen between
Venus and Chiron, as well as between the Sun and Chiron. Some wounds will be
brought to light and they will be treated and nurtured now. You will be supported
and helped with that process, and you will be able to heal certain chapters from
the past related to your friends, family, partners, associates, and communities.
There’s also the New Moon happening on the 16th of August in Leo, in your
natural third house, and this is also very positive and beautiful for you. Venus is
also here with the Sun, and these energies bring very beautiful and loving
connections and reconnections with people. You can expect new connections
with people—new ways of connecting with people you already know, new people
coming into your life who remind you of someone you already know, and new
people who feel familiar and that you know from different lifetimes. These
energies are connecting you with whom you are truly supposed to be, and with
whom you are meant to meet or reconnect with. Expect resolutions, solutions,
corrections, forgiveness, reconciliations, and relief with others. You can also
expect some misunderstandings with family members, and some of you may be
a bit obsessed with family stuff, family members, or things that have happened in
the past. Expect resolutions in these areas of your life. Your family relations are
very strong and very powerful now, and you will also have the power to resolve
things by using your words and gestures in the right way. Be aware of the power
of words and communication. Make sure you use words that are uplifting,
empowering, supportive, comforting, real, and valuable. Be aware of what you
create with your words and communications, especially when it comes to your
relationships with family members and parents. There will be something
important happening there. You will have an amazing opportunity to address and
make some things clear between you and a family member, should there be
something that needs to be worked on and cleared.
Use the energy of this Full Moon to learn something powerful, to read something
that expands your perception, to teach something valuable, to resolve any legal
issues that you may have, to connect with people from all over the world, to
speak different languages, to connect with people in many ways, to expand your
vision, to travel, to meditate, to learn from others, to feel the power of true
knowledge, to expand your knowledge, and to see that there’s so much more to
know and learn. Knowledge will set you free. This is something that will ring and
echo in your world. You will be reminded of this during this time, and you will be
invited to step on the path of learning and discovering the truth and meaning. You
will be invited for an adventure that you cannot reject.
How the New Moon in August will influence Gemini
Dear Gemini, this New Moon happens on the 16th of August in the sign of Leo, in
your natural third house of everyday communications, everyday connections,
conversations, learning, teaching, writing, speaking, and connecting with siblings,
younger brothers and sisters and those who feel like them, neighbors, relatives,
locals, and people from your close surroundings. This is also the house of
knowledge, intellectual skills, communicational skills, and any other skills that
there are. This is the house of social media, social connections, mental
connections, mental patterns, opinions, thoughts, and words. This is the house of
marketing, internet, networking, broadcasting, podcasting, and seminars. This is
the house of telecommunications, devices, vehicles, and transportation. And this
New Moon is in the sign of fiery Leo, which is the sign of royalty, pride,
playfulness, warmth, subjectivity, passion, and egocentric behavior, but also
generous behavior, depending on how we use this energy. Leo is also related to
drama and can be childish; it can also be bossy and domineering, so be aware of
this in your interactions and communications with others. This is New Moon
energy, and New Moon brings new beginnings, new possibilities, new
opportunities, new starts, restarts, renewals, and refreshments. This is what is
happening now in your third house matters, and this New Moon in Leo makes a
positive aspect with your sign. It makes a 60 degree angle aspect, which brings
great opportunities, but you have to act on those opportunities too. This New
Moon will open up new possibilities and you will have to act on them. Venus is
also here in Leo and she is retrograde, so this New Moon may not necessarily
bring something brand new. It will bring new situations with things from the
past—new resolutions of old problems with people from your close surroundings,
new ways of communicating about things from the past, and new ways of looking
at things from the past. You can expect new connections with people who feel
familiar or people you feel you know from different timelines. You are connecting
and communicating in new ways with your siblings, relatives, and neighbors, and
this energy can bring personal satisfaction and joyful experiences. You may go
on a short local trip, and this trip can bring great joy and pleasure. This is a great
time for writing and for learning something you’ve wanted to learn but couldn’t for
some reason. You may be relearning some skills, redoing some things, and have
the same conversations with the same people, but there will be something new in
those same conversations. Expect people from your past to show up, and
resolve things with them in a harmonious and beautiful way. You will now have an
opportunity to resolve some things that bothered you for a long time, and this can
happen through conversations and uplifting words and expressions. You may be
learning new skills that bring you joy and pleasure. You are learning something
that uplifts you, or you may be expressing your gifts and talents through social
media, podcasts, social interactions, marketing, or something similar. This is also
a great time for new mental patterns and for renewal and refreshment of your
thoughts. You will feel fresh energy that cheers you up, and you will have a lot of
inspiration and motivation to create something and share it with others. Plant new
seeds during this time, set your intentions, make a wish, start something new,
renew your communications, learn something new or learn something you’ve
always wanted to learn, share messages and news that have the power to
inspire others, and deal with those news and messages that are uncomfortable
without dismissing them right away. Feel the power of your expression, your
words, and your thoughts, and be the one who is in charge of those expressions.
This is about the power of a rational and sober mind, rather than a mind that is
solely charged with emotions and empathy. This card can mean that there is a
hard but necessary change ahead of you. There is a painful process that you’re
facing due to a decision that you have made, but you know that this is the best
option for you. There is a new joy and happiness waiting for you, so don’t be
afraid to throw out anything that keeps you stuck in the past. This card means
that you have to choose something that will bring you greater purpose and
meaning, which means that you will have to make some hard decisions. This
card suggests that you shouldn’t grieve over the things that are left in the past or
that you’re leaving behind. You are choosing something better for yourself. There
is a totally new chapter and a new story that awaits you. This card can also mean
that you’re moving, relocating, or traveling, and, because of that, you are leaving
some things behind. This is also about the process of moving on after a difficult
time. It means that you’re wiser and stronger. A shift and a transition is
happening. It is about a healing journey, so consider yourself to be on this kind of
journey right now. This card represents carrying wounds and scars from the past
and moving on from staying attached to them. You are stepping away from
traumas, wounds, vulnerabilities, and insecurities, but you’re carrying the wisdom
and experiences with you. You are asked to accept your healing journey and
move on. Experiences that have been painful are now used for healing and
transformation. This can be about recent pain and wounds or something that
happened a long time ago. This card also suggests that you don’t have to do it
alone and that you are never actually alone. There is always someone who gives
you a hand and who supports you on your journey.
In order to make the most of this energy this month and to channel the energy of
your ruler Mercury in the most satisfactory and fulfilling way, you should work
towards resolving any family issues, housing issues, or real estate issues you
might have. Deal with your emotional insecurities and instabilities. Connect and
reconnect with your inner child. Rediscover things from your past and
acknowledge them, talk about them, talk with yourself, write down your feelings
and emotions, write down your observations, write down your story, and rewrite it
if you have a need for it or if you feel like it. Be aware of the words you’re saying
and the power of your words. Write down affirmative sentences and uplifting
words and use them in your everyday conversations and communications,
especially in your conversations with your family and with those who feel like a
family. Write a letter to yourself, to your inner child, to your mother whether she’s
around or not, to your family, or to yourself, and express your vulnerabilities and
insecurities in this way. You can also record your voice and express your feelings
in this way if you don’t feel like writing. Communicate about what needs to be
communicated. Don’t avoid certain conversations now, as now is the ideal time to
have those conversations that you’ve been avoiding, escaping, delaying, and
prolonging. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Share empowering and
inspiring news and messages with people. Write down beautiful messages and
leave them in the house so that people who live with you can see them, but do
this if you live alone so that you can be reminded of some good and uplifting
thoughts. Sing to your inner child, smile to your inner child, smile to your family
members, welcome them with warmth and smiles, and create magic with your
words and expressions. Let your words become the healing tool and inspire
others to work on their improvement and development.
- Lie down or sit down in a comfortable position. Focus on your physical body.
Focus on yourself. Don’t let your thoughts go far away from you. Don’t let your
focus go further than one meter away from you. Imagine your own atmosphere
around your body. Feel it, see it, observe it. Now, when you have felt it, seen it,
observed it, inhale your own atmosphere inside of you. Feel how you inhale the
most nutritive ingredients directly from the aether and your own atmosphere.
Enjoy the ride.
- Imagine your mind and think about your mind. How do you feel when you think
about your mind. What kind of colors, shapes, and images emerge when you
imagine your mind. Illustrate your mind, make movements that describe your
mind, and move in the way that your mind moves. Think about this, try to feel
your mind, and express it in many ways. Illustrate it, color it, and write down
words, messages, shapes, and melodies to describe it. What kind of music,
shapes, words, colors, and images describe your mind the best? Create a
collage that describes your mind.
- Create a photo album of your photos from your childhood to the present day.
Choose the photos that resonate with you the most, the ones that evoke
something real when you look at them. Choose one to two photos for each period
of your life. Print these photos and put them in an album. Look at them, go
through them, feel them all, recapitulate them, contemplate them, and feel all the
emotions that come up. Let this be a purging, insightful, emotional, and liberating
experience. This should be your time traveler, emotional trigger, catalyst, and
self-healing tool.
- Imagine that you’re surfing on big waves, the biggest you can imagine. Imagine
a huge wave and yourself surfing this wave on your board. Feel yourself on top
of the world, on top of this wave, surfing and enjoying, and you feel totally safe
and relaxed. Feel this with your whole body. Feel the water beneath you, the
height of the wave and its strength, the board under your feet, the wind, the
breeze, the drops of water splashing you, the rays of the Sun, the sky above you,
and the joy and pleasure of being on this wave and moving with it. Now, feel
yourself as this big wave that you’re riding. Feel how it feels to be this wave, to
just keep rolling in the water. Feel your strength, power, speed, and the texture of
your body. Feel yourself surfing this wave again and again, then feel yourself as
the wave that’s being surfed. Shift between these two roles and enjoy the ride.
- Practice letting go. Each day, choose something that you need to let go,
whether you’re ready for it or not. Remember all the things that you really need to
let go of and dedicate your time to this process of letting go. These can be small
things in the beginning, but as the process progresses, you should include larger
things that you need to let go of. Go through this process of letting go, give
yourself time for this, and make a list of the things that you’re letting go of. Give
yourself this task consciously and practice this actively.
- Set intentions that include the well-being of others. Mention others in your
prayers. Let your prayer reach those who need it the most. Send some
encouraging energy and vibrations towards planet earth and everything that lives
on it. Be generous in your prayers and involve others in your intentions, hopes,
and dreams. Let the Universe know that you’re not alone. Feel yourself and
others as one great powerful organism. Feel the power of this organism and set
intentions for this organism.
- Take daily walks. During those walks, speak affirmations to yourself. Don't think
about them before the walk. Come up with them during your walks. Let the walk
inspire you. Come up with new affirmations each day. Don't obsess about them. If
you come up with only one affirmation, that's enough. You will see that they keep
coming, as the walk will inspire you, and there is no need for any special effort
from your side. This happens effortlessly, and you will see how powerful
affirmations just come to you. Speak them within yourself. Walking is one of the
most powerful healing exercises, and during walks, you can come up with some
really magnificent insights, ideas, and resolutions.
- Get rid of old clothes, old things, old letters, and old memories that you really
don't need anymore—anything that you keep to yourself unnecessarily or
anything that you keep collecting and accumulating for no reason. Get rid of it
and don't regret it. Just throw it away or give it away. Make room for new and
fresh things. Throw away everything that is not usable anymore, and give away
everything that you’re not using anymore. Don’t be nostalgic and melancholic. Be
in the present moment. Give away things that you don’t really need in your life
anymore.
- When you find yourself dwelling on a single thought or feeling for too long,
change the direction of your thoughts and feelings. Don’t let yourself stay too
long in one atmosphere. Change it. Shift it as soon as you feel that you’ve been
there for quite some time even if it’s something that you enjoy. Just shift it. If you
find yourself spending too much time thinking about one thing, shift it
immediately, change your focus on purpose, and move into a different direction. If
you find yourself stuck in a certain feeling, do something different on purpose to
change this state of being. Don’t let yourself stay too long in one condition.
Change it frequently, consciously, on purpose, and be aware of the shift that
you’re making.
- Slow down in everything that you’re doing. Slow down for just one subtle layer.
Slow down with everything—with your morning routines, your walks, your driving,
your talks, and your decisions. Just slow down and feel this moment of slowing
down. Allow yourself to really feel that you are slowing down. Feel that you’re
calming down. Don’t forget to do this, all the time. Whenever you feel you’re
speeding up somewhere, pushing something, forcing, or rushing, just step back
and slow down. Take your time. Give yourself enough time and space for feeling
and living life.
- What are the things that I’ve been pushing aside a lot lately? What are the main
things in my life that I have been suppressing and repressing lately? What are
the things that I have mostly denied and ignored in my life recently?
- When was the last time I felt that I was truly alive without any pressure and
intensity? How often do I feel alive without feelings of pressure, worries, and
tension? Where is this pressure coming from? Where are worries and tensions
coming from? Do I have an answer to this?
- What chapters of my life do I dismiss and deny? Are there some chapters in my
life that I am ashamed of and that I don’t want to think about at all? What are
those chapters telling me about my shadow?
CANCER
What can Cancer expect in August
Dear Cancer, you have a great inspiration for taking action this month. You will be
very entrepreneurial, you will be taking initiative, and you can count on your past
efforts. Things are paying off now in a true way, and you are gaining back your
trust in life, in yourself, and in what you’re doing. Things do pay off, sooner or
later. Everything you’ve ever done, no matter how insignificant it may seem at
first, pays off, in one way or another. You are going to see that now and
experience it directly in your life. You may also be a witness of it, and this will
increase your inspiration and your intuitive chords. This month, you can expect
tangible and concrete things, real manifestations, real results, real money, and
real connections. You are welcoming things that used to stress you out, frustrate
you, and annoy you. You are welcoming these things, and you are dealing with
what’s in front of you. You are dealing with whatever comes up, whatever that
may be, no matter how pleasant or unpleasant it may be. Things that are going
on under the surface are now becoming more visible and known, and you cannot
continue denying those things even though you may want to at first. You will soon
realize that it’s better to deal with it right away if it’s already there instead of
delaying that for some other time when you may not have as much inspiration
and intuitive support. Opportunities from the past are very powerful now, so pay
attention to things from the past. Relationships with others, especially with
siblings and relatives, need to be re-evaluated, reviewed, and recovered in some
way. This is a month of rich and abundant connections that are emotionally rich
and valuable. Money is a big theme, and you will be learning and growing
through your relationship with money and finances.
The month begins with the first Full Moon happening on the 1st of August, in the
sign of Aquarius, in your eighth house of death, rebirth, transformation, intimacy,
shared resources, taxes, inheritance, bills, debts, and loans; this also affects your
inner world, inner processes, hidden reality, suppressed feelings and emotions,
traumas, and shadow. This is a complex Full Moon. It has a task to bring hidden
things to light, to reveal some significant secrets, to show you something you
need to see, and to have you face something you have been avoiding for a long
time. You can expect culminations with your shared resources and joint finances,
and things can come to a head when it comes to your intimate world or your
business partnership. You may need to deal with something that is
uncomfortable, but you are definitely experiencing unique transformation and
regeneration during this time. This is a great time for healing, purging, and
honoring your unique path and journey, for respecting and appreciating things
that transform you deeply, and for discovering something profound about yourself
and about the psyche in general.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there is a positive trine aspect happening
between Mars and Jupiter. This has a very supportive influence on you, and you
will feel it in your social life, friendships, and relationships with people. Mars is in
Virgo in your third house of siblings, relatives, neighbors, local community, and
people from your close surroundings. Jupiter is in Taurus, in your eleventh house
of communities, friendships, groups of people, networking, and social circles.
There is expansion of your social networks, and you can expect something very
good, positive, rich, and abundant through your interactions with people, through
your connections, and through your conversations and teamwork. Mars makes
three trines this month and they all happen in Earth signs, so this has a strong
energy of materialization and manifestation. The second trine happens on the
16th of August, between Mars in Virgo and Uranus in Taurus. This can bring
sudden and unexpected positive surprises with people you know—people from
your community, with your friends, with associates, with groups of people, and
with relatives and siblings. Something awakening and shocking can happen, but
this will be a positive shock. On the 24th of August, there is another trine, and
this one happens between Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. This is a wanted
transformation, a needed change, and a regeneration that you’ve been praying
for; a rebirth you’ve been waiting to happen, and these are deep and profound
wanted transformations in your relationships and partnerships.
On the 10th of August, there is another positive and friendly trine aspect. This
time, it happens between Mercury in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. This is great
energy for benevolent agreements and conversations, as well as for positive
connections and amazing contacts with people. Expect conversations that
expand your resources, social connections, knowledge, and friendships. Expect
news and messages that bring you something practical, useful, sustainable, and
pragmatic.
On the 12th of August, there’s another trine aspect happening, and this time it
happens between the Sun in Leo and Chiron in Aries. The Sun is in its own sign
when in Leo, and this highlights your second house of finances, earnings, money,
resources, self-worth, and priorities while Chiron is in your fellow Cardinal sign
Aries. It is on top of your chart, in your tenth house of career, purpose,
profession, authority, father, and father figures. This trine here can trigger healing
of wounds related to your father, achievements, success, and life direction. You
will have great support now from the Sun and Venus in Leo to heal those wounds
and to gain the necessary self-esteem and self-worth. On the 13th of August, the
Sun and Venus join together. On the 14th of August, Venus retrograde makes
trine aspect with Chiron, also known as wounded healer, in Aries. You are
reminded of your own worth, and you will be supported during this time to gain
back self-trust, self-love, and self-appreciation in a true and healthy way. You are
healing your relationship with money and your need to prove yourself to the
world, to show your worth, and to be someone for somebody else. You are
detaching from the wants and needs of others. You are detaching yourself from
those voices within you that come from everyone else but you and you’re
listening to your own voice.
Venus is retrograde in Leo in your second house of money and finances, and you
should be a bit careful when it comes to your savings and spendings. You can
receive money from the past now. You can get back money that you gave to
someone before and you can expect to gain money from your past investments,
but you should be careful of having a need to spend it right away or to make big
purchases. Just take it easy with the money and check everything first. See if you
can afford it without losing more than you can gain. You can expect blasts from
the past when it comes to your financial situation, but just be careful with
overspending if you feel you’re going in that direction. This energy can bring you
money, and it can also bring you an increase of self-esteem and self-worth. But
you should be careful of not allowing money to dictate your value. You are
valuable and worthy regardless of your money and financial situation. This is
what brings you resources—your qualities, gifts, talents, and actions. Make sure
you don’t sell something under the price now. Check the value of everything first.
Don’t sell something valuable that you may regret later and be careful of buying
something that is overpriced too. This energy has to do with emotional values, so
see how emotionally valuable something is for you and you’ll know how to deal
with it.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon in Leo in your second house of
possessions, resources, earnings, having your own money, earning your own
money, spendings, savings, financial stability, material security, gifts and talents,
self-esteem, self-worth, sufficiency, and sustainability. This is happening in the
sign of playful Leo. There is a great chance that you may start earning money in
a new way, in a way that is more playful, fun, and entertaining. This is something
you’re passionate about, and this can be something you used to enjoy before.
You may come back to something that used to work in the past for you,
something that brought you money and made you feel good, and now you will be
given a new chance to do it and you may do it in a new way. These are new
beginnings and refreshments of your earnings, finances, money, and priorities in
life. The question is, how much do you value yourself and what are your
priorities? What are the necessary things in life that you need, and how can you
afford and provide them? This New Moon is here to bring you new opportunities
and possibilities to do things that you enjoy doing and to earn money along the
way.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mars and Mercury in your
third house of connections, communications, skills, short trips, mental patterns,
knowledge, learning, and teaching. On the same day, Mercury stations
retrograde in Virgo. Mercury will be retrograde until the 14th of September, and
this retrograde motion will bring you back people from your past for many
reasons—reconciliation, forgiveness, regeneration, recovery, re-evaluation,
reassessment, letting go, resolution, and relief. You may also receive news from
someone you haven’t seen or heard from in a while. You can expect news and
messages from the past to reach you now. You may connect with someone who
knows someone from your past or you may have a conversation about a
neighbor or friend from the past. Your past connections play a very significant
role now. You may also have to have that conversation that you’ve been avoiding
with a relative or sibling. Avoid signing brand new contracts if you can during this
time. If you feel a need to say some things to others that are not so comfortable,
think first and maybe write them down before you say them. See if you still feel
the same after expressing it in that way. Avoid making rigid and strict schedules
because it is very possible that you may have to cancel and reschedule those
plans later. Be flexible and use this retrograde energy to dive deep within
yourself, to contemplate on your thoughts and words, to have a conversation with
yourself, and to see how you can use your words as powerful tools for building
constructive connections, conversations, and relationships.
On the 27th of August, Mars enters Libra and activates your fourth house of
home, family, real estate, residency, place of living, house, family members,
mother, and emotional stability and security. This will be felt more in September,
but you will also feel the shift during the last couple of days of August. You will be
proactive when it comes to your home and family, and you will be putting a lot of
energy and effort into your home, your family relations, and your emotional
stability. You may even be a bit obsessed with things related to your home and
family. You will be able to do a lot of physical work in your home and you will be
very active with your family.
On the very last day of August, there’s a second Full Moon that happens in your
fellow Water sign Pisces, in your ninth house of beliefs, religion, ideals, legal
matters, spirituality, spiritual teachings and teachers, knowledge, wisdom,
experiences, adventures, freedom, perception, higher meaning, higher
knowledge, higher education, international connections, and international
business. This Full Moon makes a positive aspect with your sign and brings deep
revelations, deep insights, profound truths, and clairvoyance. If you’ve been
working on understanding some complex spiritual truth, this Full Moon can bring
those things to a fruition. You can expect to understand things that you’ve been
struggling with lately. You can expect resolutions of legal matters if there are any.
This energy can take you on a journey, and you may be traveling and connecting
with people from different parts of the world. You are learning something
significant or you’re finishing your studies, education, and exams. Something is
culminating when it comes to your spiritual journey, your knowledge, your search
for truth, and your travels. Some of your beliefs are falling away now, and it’s time
to say goodbye to certain beliefs that are not serving you anymore. This is a
great energy for feeling unity and oneness with the whole world, especially
through your connection with people who come from different countries,
backgrounds, religions, and beliefs. This is time for truth, and truth will set you
free. Truth has many faces, and you won’t be dealing with analytical truth, but
with the truth that is felt, intuitively recognized, and always valid and present.
This card means that there’s a mental breakthrough happening for you, and it
also means that you’re rejecting playing the victim and feeling like the victim.
Instead, you’re taking responsibility for your actions and reactions. You are
getting free from past restrictions. You still have some things that you drag from
your past, and you see them clearly now—you know you need to get rid of them.
You are leaving behind old behavioral patterns and perceptions that have been
limiting you. This is also an emotional release. Liberation and acceptance take
the place of rejection. This card suggests that obstacles are being removed and
fears and stressful situations are being reduced and minimized. You can handle
your fears now—you are ready for it. You are getting stronger, and your
self-esteem has increased beautifully. There are new possibilities in front of you,
and you can make your own choices now. You are letting go of negative patterns,
negative scenarios, and negative perspectives, and you’re moving forward. This
is a breakthrough from psychological prison, and you will feel this liberation. This
card means that there’s a great mental clarity and that you will have a sudden
clear perception of yourself and your path. This card means that the struggle is
over and that you can enjoy the results of your hard work. You are releasing fears
related to your relationships, and if you are involved in any kind of abusive
relationship, you will have the courage, awareness, and power to escape from it
and leave it behind. You are taking control of your life. You understand that you
are in charge. You are facing fears, but you are also surrendering. You trust the
process. This is about self-acceptance and maturity. You are taking full
responsibility, and you see your past mistakes now. You are making conscious
decisions, and you are confident in yourself and your choices. This card means
that you’re creating room for new experiences, new people, new things, and new
patterns, and you’re taking out all that is preventing you from achieving your
highest expression. Enjoy the process of freeing yourself, and enjoy your
authenticity.
In order to channel the energy of Venus in the most powerful and constructive
way, you are asked to pay attention to your priorities and reprioritize things in
your life. Set your priorities in the right way and observe your life. Observe your
relationship with money, your savings and spendings, your earnings, and your
resources, and see if your priorities are aligned with these things. Reprioritize
things in your life in accordance to your highest values. Recognize true values
and true qualities in your life. Recognize your own true values and qualities, and
honor them, appreciate them, and be grateful for them. Don’t devalue yourself,
don’t disempower yourself, and what’s most important, don’t allow others to affect
your self-worth and self-esteem, but also don’t allow yourself to be provoked in
this way and become arrogant, selfish, and egocentric. Be aware of the true
values in life, not only material values but also emotional values. Do things that
bring you joy and pleasure, do things that are generous, and cultivate things in
life that are in alignment with your highest expression, highest purpose, and
highest meaning. Search for true values and qualities in things and in people
around you. Work on expressing your qualities, values, gifts, and talents, and
work on pointing out virtues, qualities, and values of others too. Stay away from
talking bad about others, stay away from talking bad about yourself, stay away
from thinking that you’re better than others, and stay away from thinking that
you’re worse than others. Leave behind comparisons, unhealthy competitions,
the need to prove yourself through money and finances, and the view of material
power as the measure of qualities and values. Start valuing your abilities,
capacities, actions, intentions, character, yourself as a friend, yourself as a family
member, and yourself as a partner. Recognize those values that are permanently
worthy, leave behind the need for too many temporary pleasures, and rise above
hedonistic habits and addictions. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do things
that you enjoy doing, on the contrary, this is about doing things that you truly
enjoy, but not the things that you become a slave to nor the things that you’re
addicted to. This is about recognizing those things in life that bring a true smile
on your face and that make you feel self-sufficient in a joyful and pleasurable
way, in a way that has the power to inspire and motivate others.
- Write down your most traumatic and memory, something that really sticks with
you, something that is persistent, something that you know is troubling you, and
something that is an issue in your life. Write it down without thinking about how it
will sound. Just be honest, put it out there on the paper, and let your emotions
and feelings out through your thoughts and your words. Now, when you have
written the story, rewrite it. Write it differently and change it. Use that first paper
with the original story and burn it down, crumple it, throw it in trash, tear it down,
or throw it in the water somewhere. Choose your way of getting rid of it, and
while you’re doing this, say out loud: “I am letting you go. I am free from you. I
forgive you and I create my own story now.” Now, rewrite your story. Write it down
from a different perspective. Enjoy the ride.
- If there is anyone in your life who makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, or if
there is anyone who made you feel uncomfortable in any way in your past and
whose influence is still present in a negative way inside of your being, try to do
the following: Imagine this person living the happiest possible life. Imagine this
person being totally fulfilled and happy. Imagine this person as someone whose
wishes and desires were all fulfilled. This can sound weird to do, but this is the
most powerful tool for releasing that pressure, that burden, and that toxicity from
your being. You’re doing this in order to liberate yourself and that person from
negative karmic influences that still strongly hold you tied together and that don’t
allow you to grow.
- Imagine and describe your inner world. When you hear those words, “inner
word,” what do you imagine, what do you feel, what colors do you see, what
sounds do you hear, what do you taste, what kind of feeling do you get, and what
images come up? Describe your inner world. Imagine it, go through it, walk
through it, fly through it, swim through it, and experience it. Go deep into this
imagination and visualization. Feel your inner world, and imagine everything. Go
into this. Find yourself a comfortable place, close your eyes, invoke your inner
world, and ask your inner world to open up and show itself to you.
- Think about your memories. Ask yourself: “What is my most intense and
significant memory of myself?” Let yourself receive this answer. Let this question
guide you and open different folders and files of yourself. What do you see?
What kind of memories arise? Step into those memories, spend some time there,
and see what new answers and insights you can receive on this journey through
your memories. See if there are new things and new perspectives of your journey
that come up. Enjoy the ride.
- Every night, before sleep, try to walk through your whole day in reverse. Do
recapitulation of your day, starting from that very moment until you get to the
moment of waking up. Do a reverse recapitulation. You may lose track of your
day during this exercise many times, but don’t worry, it is normal. Just keep
going. If you lose track, come back to where you lost it and start again until you
make it. This is a very powerful exercise and it helps you be more aware, more
present, and more conscious of yourself—your words, actions, choices,
decisions, and the reality in which you live in.
- Do something fun that you haven’t done in a while. Think about something you
enjoyed doing, something you forgot about, and something you really haven’t
experienced in quite some time. Go and do it. Experiment, do something you
used to enjoy, and implement new elements and moments into it.
- Think about the things that make you feel purposeful in life. What are the top
three things in your life that make you feel useful, purposeful, fulfilled, satisfied,
and happy? Think about what makes you feel this way. Can you come up with
more than three things? Write down a whole list of these things. Each day, write
down three new things that make you feel purposeful in life. This will give you a
new perspective and a new sense of purpose, and you will also remind yourself
of many things that make you feel purposeful.
- Every day, search for empowering thoughts from many different sources. Wake
up with empowering thoughts. Be aware of your thoughts in the morning and
make sure that they are empowering. Search for these powerful thoughts. Find
sources of powerful thoughts. Dig deep to find more and more empowering
thoughts. Search in many different places and write down those empowering
thoughts that strongly resonate with you. Search for these empowering thoughts
and sentences in books of wise ancient teachers and masters. Do your research
and enjoy the process.
- Think about the real values in life and start creating a list of true values. What
are true values for you? Write them down. Each day, write down five true values.
Then, imagine yourself expressing each of these true values, and do your best to
express these values in your real life. Do this every day, inhale these true values
into yourself, and start manifesting and expressing them.
- Start each day with beautiful wishes. Wish yourself and the whole world a
beautiful and wonderful day. Wish the whole world, the whole nature, and the
whole existence a memorable, beautiful, unique, amazing, fulfilled, and quality
day. Don’t forget to do this every morning. It doesn't matter if you forget. Do it any
time you remember, but do your best to remember every morning when you
wake up.
- Do I believe that everything pays off in life, sooner or later? What are the most
significant things that paid off in my life so far? Do I believe that every effort,
every action, and every intention counts? What does this tell me about myself?
- What are my first associations, images, thoughts, feelings, and emotions that
come up when I hear the word “money”? How would I define money? How would
I explain what money is to someone who has no idea what money is? What does
this tell me about myself?
LEO
The month begins with the first Full Moon that happens on the 1st of August, in
your opposite sign of Aquarius, which is shining a light on your relationships,
partnerships, marriage, union, commitments, and collaborations. This Full Moon
asks you to pay more attention to your one-on-one relationships and see what
needs to be changed, transformed, adjusted, and released. How do you do
relationships, how do you interact with people, what are your themes with others,
who are those closest to you, do you value them in your heart, do you nurture
those relationships, or do you take them for granted? Where have you been too
tolerant, and where have you been too demanding? These things will be
important to go through, and you will be experiencing things that will make you
question yourself in this way.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there is a positive and beneficial aspect
called trine and it happens between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Mars will
make three trines this month and they are happening in Earth signs, which are
very concrete, material, dense, and substantial. For you, they happen in Earth
houses, so this Earth element will be very positive for you this month. Mars first
makes trine with Jupiter, and this affects your second and tenth houses. This
energy can bring you money, incomes, new opportunities for improvements in
your career, expansion of your role in the world, expansion of your profession,
and expansion of your gifts and talents. The second trine happens on the 16th of
August, between Mars in Virgo and Uranus in Taurus, and this can bring positive
surprises when it comes to your finances, earnings, reputation, and recognition.
This can bring you things that happen out of nowhere and things you couldn’t see
coming. On the 24th of August, there’s another trine that happens between Mars
in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. This affects your work, habits, routines, health,
and lifestyle. This energy will bring you wanted and needed transformations and
changes of your health, work, duties, responsibilities, and well-being.
On the 12th of August, the Sun makes a beautiful and friendly trine aspect with
Chiron, the wounded healer. The Sun is in your sign and Chiron is in your fellow
Fire sign Aries, and these energies have a very calming and healing influence on
you. This is a highly spiritual influence and it has a very awakening impact on
you. On the 13th of August, your ruler Sun and Venus retrograde come together
in your sign and this can be very healing and comforting for you. This is a lovely
energy that brings you more awareness of your wants and needs, your past, your
relationships, your past relationships, your love life, your values and priorities,
your wounds from the past, and your emotional and material attachments. On the
14th of August, Venus retrograde makes another positive aspect with Chiron in
Aries. This brings more healing and more understanding of your journey, of your
experiences, and of your identity wounds and wounds related to knowledge and
education.
On the 16th of August, there’s a beautiful and gorgeous New Moon in your sign.
This is a lovely and positive energy for you. This is your New Year, renewal,
rebirth, refreshment, recovery, rejuvenation, and regeneration. This is a time to
celebrate yourself, to celebrate being who you are, to celebrate your individuality,
identity, and authenticity, to celebrate life, and to celebrate love. Venus is also
here and she’s retrograde. This energy can bring you back people from your
past, thoughts from the past, and experiences from the past, and you are now
able to see in a new light, with new eyes, and different perspectives. You are
renewing your physical appearance, and this New Moon brings you new
beginnings when it comes to your self-care, your physical body, your behavior,
and your relationships. This is a very powerful time for setting new intentions and
asking yourself if you are happy. What makes you happy? What brings you joy?
Do you know how to create joy and happiness? Do you know how to create that
state of being?
On the 23rd of August, your ruler the Sun shifts into Virgo and joins Mars and
Mercury in your second house of money, finances, earnings, possessions,
resources, savings, spendings, values, qualities, self-worth, self-esteem,
priorities, and gifts and talents. Mercury is here, and Mercury goes retrograde on
the same day when the Sun enters Virgo. Mercury will be retrograde until the
14th of September and its retrograde motion will be felt throughout the whole
month, and not just from the 23rd onwards. You have a lot of activities in your
second house. You will be busy when it comes to making money, dealing with
your finances and resources and how you use them, but also how you create
them. Mercury retrograde puts more focus on the inner values and qualities, and
you may also be more busy with dealing with your inner comfort, your own
values, and your self-worth. This will also influence your actual money and actual
finances, and money from the past can come back to you now. This is Virgo
energy and second house; they’re both Earth related. Mercury rules Virgo and
feels good being here, so you will be able to finish the unfinished business
related to money and finances. You will be able to make good deals and resolve
things from the past when it comes to your purchases, savings, and spendings.
You may start earning money, thanks to something from the past or people from
the past. You can expect business deals from the past to come back now, and
you will have new chances to act upon these opportunities. Past issues related to
money may also resurface now so that they can be resolved and acknowledged.
But this really has to do with your sense of self, self-worth, self-value, self-trust,
and how you see yourself. You will have enough time to work on improving these
things, and you will start valuing your time and energy in a healthy and efficient
way.
On the 27th of August, Mars moves into Libra and activates your third house of
everyday connections and communications, relationships with siblings, relatives,
and neighbors, conversations, writing, speech, knowledge, social activities, and
skills. You will be very proactive in these areas of your life and this will be felt
more in September, but you will also start feeling this strong social activation in
the last couple of days of the month. You will be very protective towards those
people who are in your close surroundings and you may have a very sharp
tongue during this time, so you will have to be very careful with the words that
you use with others. You can inspire others with your words, you can be a leader
and guide to others, you can motivate people with your speech, or you can use
words in an aggressive, violent, combative, and conflicting way.
On the last day of August, there’s a second Full Moon happening in the sign of
Pisces, in your eighth house of transformation, depths of feelings and thoughts,
psychological processes, psychology, metaphysical, esoteric and occult
teachings, secrets, things that are hidden, unconscious desires, intimacy,
intimate relationships, business partnerships, shared resources, taxes,
inheritances, investments, credits, loans, and debts. This Full Moon brings things
to light, revealing secrets and things that have been hidden. It brings things to the
surface that have been buried and swept under the rug. You will have to deal with
something that may be a bit uncomfortable, but also very healing and
therapeutic. You may be able to cash in your pain, traumas, and transformation in
some way. But, this is mostly about your inner world, your shadow, your
confrontation with your inner demons, and your purification and detoxification.
You are detoxing yourself now. This Full Moon is perfect for self-healing and for
any kind of therapy; it is perfect for deep meditation, for deep silence, for
profound conversation with yourself, and for dealing with the things that you’ve
been avoiding or hiding.
The Death card asks you to let go, release, allow change to happen, allow your
old self to die, and allow things that are no longer serving you to leave your life.
Some long-term situation is ending, something that might have been exhausting,
heavy, troubling, and something that needs to go and die. This is a metaphorical
death—the death of an old identity, the death of an old way of being, or the death
of old beliefs and old behavior. Ending is necessary, as it is a sacred tool for
growth, evolution, and renewal. There is no renewal without ending; there is no
rebirth without death. Cycles of rebirth are extremely important and necessary,
and endings and transformations are an essential part of human life.
This card sometimes means that there is a kind of loss that is happening in your
life, but this loss is something that pushes you toward great change and a
brighter and greater you. It’s time for you to wear your new skin and to allow the
new day to come instead of holding onto yesterdays. This card reminds you that
you cannot be the same person you were yesterday—you have to step into a
new role and a new self. This transition and transformation from one version of
you into another can be challenging and uncomfortable, but it is inevitable. Once
you make the transition, you will be very happy that you did. Cycles are turning,
and you’re in the middle of that process where you’re moving from one chapter,
one cycle, and one version of you into another. This card shows up in life when
there is something that you’re resisting and when there is something that you
want to keep badly, no matter what, by any means. This card is encouraging you
to let go and move on. This card asks you to say goodbye to something or
someone so that you can embrace something new. This is a card of personal
transformation, of letting go of an old identity, and of accepting major new
beginnings and a major ending. One door closes, and a new one opens. One
stage of life is finished, and you’re stepping into a new stage.
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother, but also with Mother Nature, inner
Goddess, and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon represents
nurturing, caring, and nourishing energy, and it is also associated with the mind
and the fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us overly emotional,
reactive, easily provoked, and irritated, but it can also make us compassionate,
kind, gentle, and friendly. It is always a reminder that we have to work with our
emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon represents people as well
and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our daily life and daily habits, and
it connects our brain and belly, mind and heart, nerves and cells. It governs the
rhythm of the body and our routines and habits. The Moon quickly changes its
phases. It moves from waning to waxing, and it affects the fluids and the water in
our body; water symbolically always represents emotions, so these are emotional
fluctuations, too. The Moon is also related to receptive energy, the feminine
principle, instincts and intuition, rhythms and cycles. The Moon rules our
digestive system and our eating patterns related to our emotions. The Moon rules
our reactions, the way we react, our unconsciousness and unconscious patterns,
our relationship with the mother, our past, our past lives, our growing up, and our
subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are packed with
those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds
our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination,
and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our home, our
family, our roots, and our ancestors, and it also rules our own space and our
need for security.
In order to make the most of this energy and channel the energy of the Moon in
the most outstanding, magical, constructive, and beneficial way, you are asked to
celebrate yourself, celebrate life, be proud of yourself, be proud of how far you’ve
come, and choose happiness as a state of being and not as an external source
of power. This is the time to remember your values, qualities, identity, and
individuality, to honor yourself, and to honor your past regardless of what was in
the past. You are asked to connect with people, reach out to them, see how you
can be of help to others, and see what you can do for others and for yourself.
Every day, ask yourself what you can do for yourself, what you can do for others,
what you can do to serve you and others, and what you can do that is of benefit
for everyone. Do something new with your image, your style, and your physical
appearance. Renew yourself in some way—renew your way of being, your
clothes, your outlook, and your behavior, and make a little ritual where you allow
energies to rebirth you. Allow the rebirth to happen in your life. Allow yourself to
be happy without feeling guilty, to celebrate life without complaining, and to
celebrate your relationships without a need to praise or devalue others and
yourself. Just celebrate without giving labels, giving names, or having a need to
explain or justify it. Do things that are enjoyable and playful. Make someone
smile and make yourself smile. Smile to yourself when you see yourself in the
mirror, smile to yourself when you wake up, smile to yourself when you need
someone to smile back at you, smile to yourself when you’re crying, smile to
yourself when you’re laughing, and smile to yourself whenever you can. Smiles
are free. When you smile, you expand your energy, you expand the space within
yourself for greater things, and you expand possibilities without losing anything.
- Strengthen your will by doing the following exercise: Sit down in a chair, close
your eyes, and try not to move for five minutes. Make sure it is a whole five
minutes, and try not to move at all. If you move during these five minutes, like
your hand, leg, or head, do it again and restart the exercise. Do this every day,
and while you’re doing this exercise, imagine in your mind that you’re running
towards the sun during the sunset. Imagine the sunset in front of you and
yourself running towards the sun. Imagine your whole surroundings. It can be
any place that you want, but you’re running towards the sun during the sunset.
Do this mentally and keep your body still in that chair for five whole minutes.
Enjoy the ride.
- Imagine that you’re swimming and diving through an ocean, and that ocean is a
whole city. Imagine a whole underwater city in the ocean—a whole world in the
ocean, full of people living there. The place is full of streets, houses, restaurants,
shops, schools, galleries, bars, hotels, and motels. Imagine a whole underwater
city and yourself living there. Of course, you can breathe underwater, you can
swim, and you can move with your intention through the water. You can speak
normally under the water and you can do everything you can normally do outside
of the water, with just one difference, as you move through the water and not
through the air. Imagine these feelings. Travel through this underwater city, this
oceanic city.
- Imagine yourself as a battery that is discharging and recharging itself. You can
do this whenever and wherever. You can do it while you’re standing, walking, or
sitting down. Just imagine yourself as a transparent battery or as a reservoir of
energy, and first, go through the process of discharge. Each time you exhale, feel
this reservoir discharging. Imagine a tank of water and imagine this water
decreasing. Imagine a battery with a green light similar to a video game, and
each time you exhale, imagine this level of green color in battery decreasing.
When it is near the end, imagine a red color and discharge it completely. Feel the
emptiness inside of you. Feel totally and fully discharged. Now, when you get that
feeling of being totally discharged, stay there for some time and enjoy the stay.
Then, start recharging yourself with every inhale. Each time you inhale, imagine
this reservoir filling up or an increase of a green light in battery until it is full.
When you reach fullness, stay there for some time. Feel how you’re recharged.
Feel yourself regenerated, full of energy, and reloaded. Do this every day. You
can actually feel recharged due to this exercise. Practice it daily, and you will feel
the results immediately.
- If you could create your own dream that you’re going to dream at night, what
kind of dream would you create? Imagine this dream, create your own dream,
and spend time in your dream. See what kind of feelings you get in this dream.
What are the main symbols in this dream? Try to see why you created this
dream. Try to illustrate it, write it down, or record an audio of this dream.
Remember it and come back to it for answers. You can create as many dreams
as you want. You can create a new dream every day and see what kind of
dreams you come up with. Enjoy and have fun.
- Imagine your inner sanctuary space. Create this space mentally. Imagine
yourself in the most beautiful place in nature. You can choose whatever you want
and you can add whatever you want. Use your creativity and imagination.
Imagine places that make you feel the most beautiful feelings—feelings you’ve
never felt before. Use all your creativity and imagination to visualize your own
inner sanctuary. This will be a place where you can come back to every time, so
make sure you build something extraordinary, but you can actually update it,
renovate it, innovate it, and modify it any time you want. These places can be
castles, meadows, tops of mountains, parks, rivers, lakes, places from fairy tales,
and fantasy places. You can search for fantasy places and epic tale places in
order to get inspiration and motivation for creating your inner sanctuary. Get
yourself comfortable there once you have it. Explore the place, bring your special
things, and create your special altair there. Do your ritual in that place to officially
make it your sanctuary space. Spend time there, enjoy, and do whatever you feel
like doing in that place. Reshape it in any way you want. You can illustrate this
place or describe it to someone who can draw it, and then you can also print this
image and hang it on the wall in your room as a reminder of this inner sanctuary
space. Enjoy and visit your inner sanctuary every day.
- Go outside and search for things that remind you of your state of being. Look at
your surroundings, whatever that is. Observe, notice things, notice details, find
things that resonate with you, and see why that thing caught your eye and your
heart. Try to find answers through the things that you connect with in your
environment. It can be anything. It can be a tree in a park, cloud, a certain ray of
the sun that pierces through branches, a door of a shop, stairs, a couple walking
by, a child, an animal, a man, or a woman who pass you by; it can be a certain
moment that you catch, an object, a building, a window, light in somebody’s
house or apartment, sound of cars, sound of somebody’s steps… Anything. Write
down these small moments that resonate with you. Write them down in short
form, in one line, and keep that journal with you. Try to see if these things give
you certain answers about something important to you. Your surroundings always
communicate with you in unusual ways. Learn to read the symbols.
- Do something proactive and active with your body. Work on improving your
physical well-being according to your own capacities, and do what you can with
your body. If you’ve never done any kind of exercises, start slowly. Start with
what you can. See if you can find someone to teach you how to start, and start
doing anything. Do daily walks, stretches, exercises, or whatever, but keep your
physical body active and healthy. Make sure you don’t allow yourself to become
lazy with your body because this directly affects your mental activities and
capacities. Make a decision about your physical well-being and stick to it.
- Observe your thoughts and emotions each day, and discern constructive from
destructive thought and emotional patterns. This is not an easy job, but it is not
impossible either. You will be able to easily discern constructive thoughts and
emotions from destructive ones once you start practicing this. You can journal
your thoughts and emotions through short notes. You can write down how you
feel at a certain point and what you're thinking of, and try to discern between the
constructive and destructive ones. Create in your mind a space, a folder, for
storing destructive patterns. Collect them in one specific place so that they don't
interfere with other patterns. Isolate them, and see how you can use them in a
constructive way and how you can transform them into something constructive.
- Think about all the people who wronged you in any way. Imagine them in front
of you and talk to them. Let them know how you feel about them, about what they
did, and about how they made you feel, and let them go. Tell them that you
release them, that you forgive them. Write down names of these people on a
piece of paper, and next to each name, write down the first association you have
about that person and first feeling that comes to you. Then, write down
sentences in which you forgive all these people, one by one. Feel relief,
liberation, healing, and freedom. Repeat this as many times as you need. Really
feel this process, these words, and speak to these people mentally. Practice this
and feel this.
- Do something new with your face, behavior, outfit, and appearance. Wear a
new piece of clothes. Renew yourself in some way. Put in some new details,
renew your style, and renew your physical appearance in some way. Wear
something new, do something new, go somewhere new, eat something new, say
something new, listen to something new, and experience something new. Make
sure you bring newness into your life.
- How often do I feel grounded? How often do I feel the benefits of calmness?
How do I calm myself down? How do I ground myself?
- What are the things that I am ignoring in my life right now that I should pay
more attention to? What are the things that I am ignoring in my life telling me
about myself now?
- Who or what is my greatest teacher? What kind of meaning does the word
“teacher” have for me? What are my first associations, images, thoughts,
emotions, and feelings that come up when I hear the word “teacher”? What does
this tell me about myself?
VIRGO
The month begins with the first Full Moon in this month, which happens on the
1st of August in the sign of Aquarius, in your natural sixth house of daily routines,
daily habits, daily tasks and obligations, schedules, work, job, health, healing,
well-being, day to day life, lifestyle, service to others, as well as pets if you have
them. This Full Moon shines a light on your work and health and shows you
something that you need to become more aware of. You will be paying more
attention to how you live your life, how you eat, what you eat, how you sleep,
how you exercise, how you take care of your health, and how you do your
everyday life. You will be able to bring more uniqueness and authenticity in your
everyday life. You are looking at the repetitive work that you’re doing in your life,
and you will be changing some of your unhealthy or unnecessary habits and
routines. It’s time to quit doing things that are exhausting you on a daily level, to
see what truly inspires you, to raise your consciousness, and to learn more
things about life. You will be doing things that are nurturing and nourishing your
body, mind, and soul.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there’s a positive trine aspect that happens
between Mars in your sign and Jupiter in your fellow Earth sign Taurus, in your
ninth house of long distance travels, foreigners, international business, learning,
teaching, educating, getting a master’s degree, graduating, being on a spiritual
path, connecting with people who think differently and live differently, expanding
your consciousness, expanding your life, and experiencing life as an adventure.
These are direct blessings for you, and you will be able to truly expand your life
in amazing ways during this time. This whole month, you will receive blessings
through Earth signs. You will have amazing opportunities for living life that is full
of meaning and that has the true power to bring you more of life’s essentials.
These are Earth blessings and you are an Earth sign, so you can really expect
some things that you could only dream of before. Something beautiful is
happening for you, and you can expand your wisdom and knowledge in a way
that improves your health, behavior, mood, personal life, and personal
relationships. Mars makes another positive aspect with Uranus on the 16th of
August, and Uranus is also in Taurus. This brings sudden and unexpected
positive things for you in areas of your knowledge, travels, spiritual journey, and
education. You may suddenly be invited by someone to come and visit them in a
different country, or you may unexpectedly be visited by someone from another
country. This can be an unexpectedly positive surprise when it comes to your
financial opportunities as well as spiritual embodiments. On the 24th of August,
Mars makes another positive trine aspect, this time with Pluto, the lord of
transformation, in your fellow Earth sign Capricorn. This is in your fifth house of
love, romance, children, pleasure, joy, creativity, self-employment,
self-expression, hobbies, gifts, and talents. This brings you powerful wanted
transformations, regenerations, and changes related to your behavior, pleasures,
identity, joys in life, love life, and personal wants and needs. Expect deep and
powerful changes in your love life, with your children if you have them, and with
your creative processes and business.
On the 10th of August, Mercury makes a positive and supportive trine aspect with
Jupiter, the planet of abundance, prosperity, fortune, and wisdom. Jupiter is in its
own ninth house of higher meaning, higher purpose, higher mind, and higher self,
as well as traveling, learning, teaching, and expanding. Mercury is in its sign, and
Mercury is your ruler, so these are double and triple blessings for you. You will
experience something truly beautiful during this time. These are amazing things
that will remove the shackles from your soul and that will make you feel very
grateful for all that you are and that you’re not.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, you can expect powerful inner healing and
insights that can take you out of your usual self and put you in a very special
place within yourself. You can expect profound insights, prophetic dreams,
self-healing, and epiphanies that set you free; intimate connection and bond with
your partner; sharing secrets, letting go of past attachments, and letting go of
painful experiences from the past. Venus is retrograde in Leo in your twelfth
house, and the Sun is also there next to Venus around this time. They will both
make a friendly and supportive aspect with Chiron in Aries, in your eighth house
of death, rebirth, transformation, intimacy, secrets, deep processes, inner work,
and dealing with your shadow. Past wounds will be brought to light in a gentle
and beautiful way, and you will be discovering hidden values and hidden qualities
within you. Venus is retrograde in your twelfth house, and she brings back things
from the past that are now able to be harmoniously processed and healed.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon happening in your twelfth house of
otherworldly experiences, hidden realms, spiritual dimensions, mysterious and
mystical experiences, altered states, hypnosis, therapies, meditation,
contemplation, relaxation, retreat, grounding, calming, spending time in nature,
spending time on your own, and being peaceful and quiet but also letting it all out
and go. This is the house of endings and beginnings, and this New Moon brings
you new beginnings, new spiritual insights, new dreams, new mental patterns,
and renewal and refreshment of your mental abilities, mental capacities, and
mental processes. Expect new joy and pleasure that comes to you through
dealing with your past. You are able to experience great healing of your ancestral
karma and debts, and you will be cleansing and cleaning those accumulated
destructive patterns that are still very present in your life. You are dealing with the
past in a new and harmonious way, and some of you may be doing regression,
hypnotherapist, alternative ways of healing, sound healing, or healing through
being playful, awakening the child within you, recapitulation, meditation, and
contemplation.
On the 22nd of August, there’s a bit of a tricky aspect between Mars in your sign
and Neptune in your opposite sign of Pisces. This can bring confusing
projections and illusions in your one-on-one relationships with people. Be aware
of possible deceptions and unclear messages with people. Having Mars and
Mercury in your sign is very powerful and encouraging. You will be able to
achieve things you wouldn’t normally be able to achieve, but just be careful
around this date because you may experience some kind of illusionary moment
or confusing experience with people. You may be confused and you may project
that onto others, but this is a short lived aspect so don’t worry too much about it.
Just be aware if it happens and let it pass.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters your sign. This is the beginning of your
season; this is a time to celebrate life and yourself. It is time to remind yourself of
what you truly want and need, to become more aware of who you are, to shine
your light brightly in the world, to do things that make you feel good about
yourself, and to improve yourself in many ways and on many levels. On the same
day when the Sun enters your sign, Mercury stations retrograde in your sign.
This is very significant for you since Mercury, your ruler, is in your sign too.
Mercury will be retrograde until the 14th of September, and instead of being
afraid of Mercury retrograde, you should actually celebrate it this time because it
can bring beautiful opportunities and second chances in life. It can make things
available for you again and bring blessings from the past. You will be able to
resolve things from the past and resolve things with people from the past. Expect
people from your past and opportunities from the past to show up. Be careful in
your communication with others because not everything may be communicated
in a clear way, so just make sure you express yourself as clearly as possible and
know that your interpretation of somebody’s message may not be true and
authentic. If you are confused about something, ask someone to explain to you
again so that there is no misunderstanding. This is a great time for scheduling
yourself lightly and having flexible plans. Mercury retrograde is a powerful time
for honoring the present moment and for being less obsessed with schedules,
obligations, tasks, and duties. This is a time for thinking differently and for having
inner conversations with yourself.
On the 27th of August, Mars enters Libra and activates your second house of
money, finances, resources, possessions, earnings, material stability, self-worth,
self-esteem, self-trust, and self-sufficiency. You will be inspired to earn money
and gain financial stability, and you may be taking financial risks that will pay off.
This will be felt more in September, but it will also be felt in these last couple of
days of the month.
On the 31st of August, there’s the second Full Moon that happens this month. It
happens in your opposite sign of Pisces, illuminating your seventh house of
marriage, relationships, commitments, unions, collaborations, one-on-one
relationships, projections, dynamics in relationships, fairness, justice, and
equality. This is a significant lunation for you, and you will have to pay attention to
your relationships. Something comes to light and something is being revealed in
your close personal relationships. Something may come to an end, but
something may come to a fruition. There is something that needs to change in
your relationships with people, and this Full Moon can bring deep and profound
healing in a certain relationship as well as great therapeutic relationship with
someone. You may finally find your perfect counselor, lawyer, doctor, assistant, or
anyone with whom you can develop one-on-one relationship with. Some of you
may get engaged during this time or you may start a love relationship. It’s a
beautiful energy that will enlighten your behavior and your role in relationships.
This card can also mean that you may be traveling across the sea—this is
long-distance travel in some cases. This card represents first steps towards
success, the first tangible results of plans and efforts from the past. It’s time to
set sail, to launch something, and to move on in the wanted direction. This card
is also about action. On this card, we see a man standing on a cliff and looking at
hills far in the distance. He sees everything that is in front of him. There are three
ships sailing away in front of him. Three wands are beside him, and they stand
firmly in the ground. His hand rests on one of three wands, which suggests that
he’s right there, sticking to his plan, stable and determined. He is grounded. He is
committed to plans in the future, and he is prepared for what’s to come. This is
also a card of long-term vision and anticipation. Opportunities await you, but you
have to do something, too. You have to leave the safety and comfort and get out
there—be in the open as the man on the card. He is looking into what’s coming,
and he’s prepared. This card means that your plans are going smoothly, and
there’s no reason to be afraid. Things look very good; the future looks good. You
are widening your horizons, and opportunities are coming your way. You are
thinking about long-term things, and you’re embracing the change.
In order to channel the energy of Mercury this month in the most empowering,
encouraging, and constructive ways, you are advised to be fully and totally
honest with yourself, to have conversations with yourself every day, to use
powerful affirmations in your everyday life, and to use uplifting words in your
everyday conversations and communications. Write down powerful words that
inspire you, and make sure you use them in your vocabulary. Say inspirational
and supportive things to yourself. Talk to yourself in the most motivating and
uplifting way. Pay attention to your words and your inner conversations. Pay
special attention to your thoughts, thought processes, and mental patterns.
Observe your thoughts and expressions, and see how much you’re limited by
your past, how much you’re living in the past, and how much you’re imprisoned
by your past. Learn something new about yourself through your past. Let your
past guide and teach you. Let your past show where you are and who you are,
and don’t be afraid or ashamed of your past. This is a time to break free from
those identifications with your past and to use your past as a powerful tool for
self-cognition and self-knowledge. Write down a letter to yourself, write down a
letter to your past self, and write down a letter to your present self from the
position of your past self. See where you are, who you are, how well you know
yourself, and how well you know to express yourself. Do you know your
thoughts? Do you know how to think in a way that is constructive and that helps
you grow? Do you know how to think in certain situations that can help you find
the best possible solutions? Allow these energies to teach you how to think and
how to let go of thoughts that are destructive and unnecessary. Don’t be afraid of
thoughts, and take the driver’s seat when it comes to your thoughts and words.
Invest in your knowledge, image, learning, communication, and expression of
who you are. Activate your inner messenger and spread the message that is
expansive, abundant, and enriching with yourself and the world.
- Focus on your personal guide. Imagine your guide. Close your eyes, ask your
guide to appear to you, and focus on your guide. Describe your guide. It doesn’t
matter if you don’t have a clear image of your guide. Just describe what you see.
Is it a familiar face, someone you know, or just a shape, color, or feeling? It
doesn’t matter. What matters is that you create a connection with it. As you do
this exercise each day, your guide will become clearer and clearer, and your
guide may change. You may not have a fully clear image of your guide at all, and
it doesn’t matter. Just describe how you feel it and see it. Now, start a
conversation with your guide. What would you ask your guide, what would you
tell your guide, and what would you share with your guide? Do this, and have a
conversation with your guide. Tell everything you want to your guide. It is safe,
and you don’t have to be afraid of anything. You won’t be judged or criticized for
anything. Your guide knows and understands you fully. Your guide knows your
soul, so you don’t have to worry about being misunderstood. After this exercise,
think about this meeting. Contemplate it, see how you feel after it, and what new
feelings and insights you get. Describe and think about this. Come back to your
guide whenever you want, and keep this relationship alive.
- Find yourself a comfortable space where you can feel totally relaxed. Sit down
or lie down, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, concentrate on your
exhales and inhales, and imagine a sphere around your body. Imagine white
golden sphere around your whole body, and as you inhale, feel this sphere
absorbed into your body. Feel yourself filled with this sphere, and as you exhale,
feel this sphere glowing around your body and protecting you. Inhale—you inhale
the sphere inside of you. Exhale—you exhale the sphere and it shines around
you. Repeat this at least seven times and do this as long as you find it
comfortable. When you finish, stay with your eyes closed for some time and just
feel your body and your breathing. Enjoy.
- Write down your most powerful affirmations you can think of right now. Think
about them and make your own affirmations, ones that are unique for you. Write
them down on a piece of paper. Read them out loud every morning when you
wake up and every night before bed. This is when they have the greatest power,
and this is when they stay strongly inside of your subconsciousness. This is how
you program yourself consciously, and this is how you reprogram old programs
too. Do this every morning, every night, and every day. Feel the power of your
own affirmations, of your own being, and of your own consciousness and
subconsciousness.
- Look at yourself in the mirror, and while you’re looking at yourself, say beautiful
things to yourself. Speak to yourself in the most soothing, nurturing, loving,
compassionate, and gentle way. Say to yourself: “You are the most beautiful
person that I know. You are a powerful being. You are a genius. I love you
because you are who you are. I love you just the way you are, and I love all your
changes, emotions, expressions, struggles, and transformations. I love all that
you are—all that you keep to yourself, all that you’re silent about, all that you’re
loud about, all that you’re doing, and all that you’re saying. You are perfect to me,
always and forever. You are the greatest light that I know. I trust you, I believe
you, I honor you. You are my best friend, my best companion, my love, my guide,
my child, my parent, my source.” Of course, you can change these words and
come up with your own sentences. Enjoy and feel empowered.
- Think about all the things you’re successful at. Write down everything that
you’re good at and everything you have or had success in. This can be anything.
It could be the way you talk to someone, the way you look at people while having
conversations, or the way you wash your hands. Literally anything you’re good
at. Add more and more things to this list every day. Just think about more and
more things that you’re good at, and this will help you immensely to increase
self-trust, self-confidence, and self-love. Plus, you will become more aware of the
many things that you’re good at.
- Experiment with using your voice. Use it in many different ways. Try to make all
kinds of different sounds and see how it sounds to you. Sing different types of
songs and sing these songs in many different ways. Experiment in various ways.
Pronounce words differently, play with words, play with languages, invent new
words, use words from different languages, learn new words from your native
language, and use those words in your everyday communication.
- Think about the most inspiring topics for conversations and write them down.
See how much you know about these topics and start doing your research about
these topics. Research each of these topics, dig deep, and try to find as much
valuable information as you can. Search for answers that you want to find. Don’t
just do superficial or trivial research, rather, be devoted to this and really think
about these topics. What are the most intriguing topics for you that you would
enjoy discussing and that you would love to know more about?
- Start doing any kind of mental exercises or mental activities. Observe your
thoughts, observe yourself, be your own spy, and spy your own behavior, actions,
and mind. Be your own mental spy, as well as physical and emotional. Observe
yourself, be observant, be the witness of yourself, be detached as a witness,
observe your identifications and attachments, and observe your own life from the
perspective of a witness.
- How do I deal with my inner self? What are my ways of dealing with my inner
self? What does it look like? What do I need to handle the most while I am
dealing with my inner self? What is the toughest and the easiest thing while I am
dealing with my inner self?
- What are the most stubborn and persistent patterns that keep repeating in my
life over and over again? What are my most obvious and evident patterns that I
notice in my life, whether they are mental, emotional, social, or physical?
LIBRA
The month begins on the 1st of August, with the Full Moon happening in your
fellow Air sign Aquarius, in your fifth house of love, romance, pleasures, joy,
entertainment, children, playfulness, spontaneity, creativity, and self-expression.
This is a very positive and uplifting Full Moon for you. You can expect to be
invited for some kind of celebration, or you may be gathering with people and
having fun. This is a perfect time for parties, for gatherings, for ceremonies of all
kinds, for going out, for enjoying time with people you love, for being in love, and
for experiencing joy and pleasure. Expect culminations in your love life and an
enhancement of your creativity. You can come up with something truly unique
during this time, and this can bring benefits to your business if you have one. You
are expressing your gifts and talents in an original way. This Full Moon will bring
memorable moments and loving energies with people—with your children if you
have them, with somebody else’s children, with the child within you, with your
lover, and generally with people you love.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there is a supportive aspect that happens
between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Mars will make three of these
supportive and friendly aspects. These are all Earth trines, which means that this
support comes through concrete material things and brings you groundedness,
inner strength, inner power, and inner freedom. Mars is in Virgo in your twelfth
house of solitude, silence, meditation, relaxation, contemplation, spiritual
insights, unity, and oneness. Jupiter is in Taurus in your eighth house of death,
rebirth, transformation, intimacy, inner world, unconscious desires, and deep
mental and emotional processes. This brings positive energy in these two areas
of your life, and you will be able to enjoy solitude, find inner peace, enjoy being
quiet, and enjoy having some time for yourself. You will be able to experience
beautiful healing energy, especially healing of your past traumas. On the 16th of
August, Mars makes a trine aspect with Uranus in Taurus, also in your eighth
house. This brings sudden and unexpected events that may at first seem a bit
uncomfortable but that will turn out to be very good and positive for you. Expect
sudden awakening and shocking revelations that will bring you clarity and
understanding. And on the 24th of August, Mars makes third trine with Pluto in
Capricorn in your fourth house of home, family, mother, inner child, emotional
well-being, real estate, place of living, roots, past, and childhood. Expect
transformations within your home and family world that can also bring some
pressure and tension at first but that will turn out to be very supportive and
harmonious. You are experiencing some changes with your home and family that
will bring you a sense of contentment.
On the 10th of August, Mercury in Virgo makes a trine aspect with Jupiter in
Taurus. This can bring you deep conversations about your past—profound
conversations with someone where you can open up about yourself or others can
open up to you. This can happen with your intimate partner or with someone
close to you. This energy can bring prosperity and money that comes to you
through other sources, such as your partner’s money, inheritances, taxes,
credits, banks, insurance companies, passive incomes, royalties, or any other
resource that is not coming directly from your earnings. This is great energy for
meditation, for learning things about the invisible, for learning about the spiritual
realm, for deepening your knowledge, and for gaining wisdom of knowing how to
live a life and how to dance with it instead of just surviving it and having
temporary pleasures here and there.
On the 12th of the month, the Sun in Leo makes a supportive and positive trine
aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in your opposite sign Aries, in your
seventh house of one-on-one relationships, unions, commitments, marriage,
collaborations, partnerships, and legal matters. The Sun is in Leo in your
eleventh house of communities, groups of people, friendships, social circles,
networking, like-minded people, tribe, and team of people. This has everything to
do with your social life and relationships, and there is a very positive energy here
that brings a lot of light, understanding, healing, and compassion between you
and others. On the 13th of August, the Sun and Venus retrograde come together.
This is very powerful for your group activities, for social connections, for friends,
and for having a great time with your soul family. And on the 14th of August,
Venus makes another friendly trine aspect with Chiron in Aries. This can bring
loving and harmonious friendships and relationships, beautiful support and help
that you give to others and that you receive from others, and mutual
understanding and actions that are for the common good. This is truly a very
beautiful and unique energy that will be experienced in a profound way through
your relationships with someone. Wound is triggered, but it is triggered so that
healing can take place.
On the 16th of August, there's a New Moon happening in Leo. This eleventh
house is very strong this whole month; it is very powerful and has a lot to teach
you, especially because your ruler Venus is retrograde here all month. This New
Moon brings new beginnings, new people, new friends, and new connections. It
also brings a lot of focus on the past and a lot of reconnections, renewals, and
refreshments with people from your past, with friends from the past, with
communities from the past, and with lovers from the past. This can also bring
soul connections with people with whom you’re connected through many different
lifetimes. Expect significant new energy with people from your past, new friends,
and new connections that bring you something enjoyable and pleasurable and
that inspire and encourage you greatly.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mars and Mercury here in
your twelfth house of hidden realms, spirituality, otherworldly experiences,
dreams, altered states, transcendence, self-healing, and a sense of
connectedness with all that there is. Mars is here until the 27th, and it
encourages you to go deeper into your inner world and to explore more of the
invisible and unknown realms. The Sun here brings light into your subconscious
dimension. It shows you your way and enlightens your inner journey. On the
same day when the Sun enters Virgo, Mercury stations retrograde and will be
retrograde here until the 14th of September. But Mercury’s retrograde energy will
be felt throughout the whole month, not only starting from the 23rd. Mercury
retrograde in twelfth house is actually very deep and profound and brings so
much intuitive knowledge and deep inner conversations that clear out the mental
fog. This energy will help you deal with any kind of addiction you may have a
problem with; it will help you find your inner sanctuary and find time for yourself,
for recovery, for healing, for learning things that feed your soul, and for investing
more in your spiritual quest.
On the 27th of August, Mars enters your sign and activates your first house of
individuality, identity, personality, behavior, physicality, physical appearance,
image, style, the way others perceive you, unique expression, and character.
Mars here revitalizes you and boosts your energy. You will be greatly motivated
to move forward, to do things, to initiate things, to improve yourself, to strengthen
yourself, to strengthen your physical body, to take action, to stand up for yourself,
and to fight for justice.
On the last day of August, there is the second Full Moon happening this month. It
happens in the sign of Pisces in your sixth house of health, well-being, healing,
time, energy, work, daily tasks, habits, routines, service to others, schedules,
obligations, efficiency, sense of usefulness, and relationship with your pets if you
have them. This Full Moon will surely bring a lot of attention to your health and
your well-being, and it is primarily about taking good care of yourself, having
healthy routines and habits, using your time and energy in the most efficient and
productive way, and being of service in a pure and constructive way and not in a
way of pleasing others and being a slave to others. This energy can bring certain
things to a head when it comes to your health and your work, and you will have
to pay more attention to your lifestyle and your everyday life. Expect
culminations, endings, and transformations in your everyday life. Expect changes
at your work and expect to see changes in what you do with your free time. You
will be learning how to live a life that has more purpose, meaning, healthy habits
and routines, and quality.
This card teaches us about true selfless giving that is possible only when we love
ourselves. This is when we want to share our wealth and be generous toward
others without expectations because we are free from this—we are already
fulfilled from within, and we give freely. This card reminds us of the importance of
charity, and it indicates that you are in a safe position, materially and spiritually.
There is something that protects you and provides safety to you. This is a sign of
positive income, increased income, and safe income. This card shows that you
won’t have worries about expenses, that your give and take is balanced, and that
you have enough of what you need. This card also suggests that you may help
somebody, support somebody, do something generous for someone, help
someone finish work, help someone in need on the street, help someone whose
car has stopped, help a neighbor carry things to their home, help a friend
financially, or be an emotional and moral support to somebody. These kinds of
gestures are supported. This can also work in other ways. You may be the one
who receives some kind of wealth, fortune, support, and help from others. So,
don’t reject receiving during this time, and don’t reject giving and helping. No
matter which situation you find yourself in, follow the signs and give and receive
equally. This charity doesn’t have to be financial, of course. This can be any kind
of support and kind gesture. This card reminds us of the importance of little
generous actions that are accumulated day by day that build great wealth. This is
a card of triumph, balance, progress, income, kindness, tolerance, solutions,
overcoming crisis, financial support, and successful purchases. This card
reminds you of good fortune. It makes you aware of good fortune, and it returns
hope to you.
In order to channel the energy of your ruler Venus retrograde in the most
amazing, beautiful, harmonious, charming, constructive, and beneficial way, you
are invited to cultivate and nurture the energy of Venus in your life in every
possible way. You are invited to invoke Venusian things in your life and to do
things that will beautify your life in many ways. Give presents and gifts to other
people in your life. These don’t have to be big and expensive things. This can be
just a flower, for example, or something very small. You can also create a gift of
your own. It is important to have an emotional and spiritual value, and to have
pure intentions packed with it. Give compliments to people, make people smile,
make people laugh, and tell others how beautiful they are. Recognize values and
virtues in others, recognize qualities in others and point them out, talk about
other people’s qualities, virtues, and values, and focus on those beautiful and
valuable things that other people possess. Always carry some small gifts or
presents with you to give and offer to others. You can carry small chocolates and
give them to people when you meet them. Invite people for something beautiful,
cheerful, and pleasurable. Invite people for dinner, drink, cake, dance, movie, or
just hanging out. Prepare a meal and invite people over to your place. Say Yes to
invitations you receive during this time. Go out with people, be social, and get
together. If you receive an invitation from someone from your past, don’t reject it,
rather, accept it and resolve things that might have been heavy or intense. Reach
out to others and be gentle, kind, generous, loving, and understanding. Visit
theaters, cinemas, concerts, shops, cafes, restaurants, dancing floors, and all the
things that can invoke and trigger the awakening of Venus within you. Be like
Venus. Work on beautifying yourself and your relationships with others, work on
expressing beauty in every possible way, and be the love, beauty, and harmony
that you already are, but bring it even more through your conscious decision to
do so.
- Think about something that you really want to be, to do, to have, to become,
and to achieve. It can be anything—any goal, vision, or dream you have. Imagine
this as if it has already manifested. See this picture alive in your mind, frame it in
a bubble, put this live picture of your manifested dream into a bubble, and watch
it like that. This bubble is floating around with your manifested dream inside of it.
Now, exhale into this bubble and see this bubble going up into space, high
above, and see how it disappears into the vast Universe. You send this
manifested dream into the Universe and you feel it manifested, but you are not
attached to it.
- Record your voice and record yourself saying powerful things to yourself. You
can speak in first, second, or third person, and you choose how it makes you feel
comfortable and uplifting. Record yourself talking to yourself, just a couple of
sentences, and make these sentences empowering, uplifting, encouraging, and
motivating. Come up with your own motivations for yourself and listen to your
own voice. Play this to yourself every now and then throughout the day. You can
listen to this while you’re walking, driving, watching the sunset, exercising, or
doing anything. Enjoy and have fun.
- Describe your ideal and perfect day. Start from the very beginning, from the
moment you wake up, and go through the whole day. What does your perfect day
look like? Do you have those kinds of days in your life? Describe your perfect
day. Imagine it, and then try your best to live that kind of day, manifest that kind
of day, and make it as similar to your perfect day as you can, but also be
spontaneous and allow things to happen naturally. Don’t try to plan things or
follow your plans strictly. Just start your day and see where it takes you.
Experiment, feel it as an adventure, and see if your perfect day turns out to be
better than your imagined one.
- Create your own mood board. Get yourself a board, a big piece of hammer, or a
place on the wall in your space, and start making your mood board. Choose
images, photographs, texts, lyrics, colors, symbols, and anything you want, and
just add details to it. Create a collage of your life, your emotional state of being,
and your inner state. Express your inner state of being through a mood board,
find images that resonate with you, print them, and put them on the board, on the
paper, or on the wall. Find quotes and texts that resonate with you. Find symbols,
signs, and other things that you want to add to your mood board. Enjoy, have fun,
and learn more about yourself while doing this. You can update, upgrade, modify,
and transform your mood board as many times as you want. Enjoy the process
and see what more you can learn about yourself through this creative process.
- Imagine that you’re a leaf being carried or blown by the wind. Imagine yourself
as a fluttering, rumbling leaf. Now, imagine yourself as leaves fluttering, as a
plural. You’re not only one leaf, rather, you’re more of them. You feel yourself as
many leaves fluttering and rumbling, as many leaves on one branch of the tree
fluttering. You feel the wind moving you, and you feel one with the wind. Now,
feel yourself as the wind that blows into these leaves. Feel yourself as this wind
that goes through leaves and branches. Feel the whole feeling. Really be there,
and feel it. You can watch fluttering leaves online if you need help in imagining
this more vividly. And of course, whenever there’s a chance to see this outside in
nature, when weather is like this, stay there, observe, feel it, connect with it, and
breathe it. Enjoy.
- Don’t impose your will onto others and don’t try to make others do things in the
same way as you do them. Don’t expect others to feel the same about certain
things. No matter what situation you find yourself in, try to give your best to
observe others as divine beings, who have their own projections, movies,
perceptions, and angles of looking at things; imagine yourself in their position,
imagine that you have their mind, and try to understand that everyone has their
own unique point of view. You can sometimes meet somebody else’s point of
view, but you cannot expect them to be at the same angle as yours all the time.
Observe others as unique beings. Honor their level of being, their level of
consciousness, and their point of view even if you don’t agree with them. Don’t
try to convince them that they’re wrong or right, and don’t try to convince them
about your own point of view.
- Do something new with your family or those who feel like your family. Invite
those close to you for something adventurous, fun, entertaining, and beautiful.
Do something that will refresh your relationship with these people, something that
will renew your interactions and ways of spending time with people. Go for a hike
with others, have fun outside, practice outdoor activities, go somewhere together
on a short trip, visit a new place, go to a new restaurant, try new food, and
experience something new with people close to you in any way that you want.
- Write down top five negative beliefs that you have about yourself, as well as
your future, your life, your love life, your health, your looks, your past, your
knowledge, and your journey. Then, look at these five negative beliefs and
transform them into positive ones. Transform each of these beliefs into
affirmative, positive beliefs and make the first negative version totally
unrecognizable.
- Write down your dreams, keep your dreams journal active, and write down
anything you can remember from your dreams. You don’t have to remember the
whole dream. One symbol is enough. Just keep records of your dreams each
day. Even if it’s just a feeling that you remember, write it down. This will help you
remember more and more details of your dreams. By keeping a dream journal,
you actually improve your conscious presence in dreams and remember more
and more things from your dreams. Think about these dreams during the day, try
to find answers in your wake reality, connect your dreams and your wake reality,
and see what connects them and what brings them together.
- Whenever you’re in touch with water, speak with this water. Say thank you to
water, show your gratitude to water, be thankful to water, and show water that
you’re aware of its energy, existence, and importance. Each time you take a
shower, wash your hands, drink water, or do anything with water. Let water know
that you’re grateful, thankful, and happy for having water. Let water know this.
- Am I fighting against life, or am I getting in the flow with life? Do I perceive life
as something heavy and competitive, or do I perceive life as a teacher and a
shaman?
- What am I afraid of when I think of reconnecting with people from the past?
How do I react within myself when I think of reconnecting with people from my
past? What does this tell me about myself?
- What are my most destructive patterns in life? What are my most constructive
patterns in life? Are they connected in any way? What are my constructive and
destructive patterns telling me about my journey?
SCORPIO
What can Scorpio expect in August
Dear Scorpio, you are able to manifest changes that you want to manifest in a
very productive, efficient, pleasurable, enjoyable, and cheerful way. You are also
going to feel something very familiar, something like a deja-vu, or you may
experience continuous deja-vus during this month. It will be like something that
will ring the bell, like you’ve seen it before, heard it before, experienced it before,
or lived it before. This can happen in many different areas of your life, including
love, friendships, career, health, spirituality, knowledge, and adventures of all
kinds. You will have a lot of hunches; it may seem a bit like a dream and you may
actually wonder if it is a dream. Expect amazing synchronicities with people and
with your higher self. You are going to feel good about yourself, especially if
you’ve felt some kind of guilt or regret lately, if you’ve felt bad about yourself, if
you’ve felt like you’ve made a mistake, or if you’ve felt like you’re not doing
something right. This month, you will make this right and you will improve your
well-being and your life in a way that you like and that is enjoyable. You are
bringing a lot of magic and inspiration in your relationships with people, and you
have the power to bring needed and wanted changes in your home and family.
The month begins on the 1st of August with the Full Moon in your fellow Fixed
sign Aquarius, and this shines a light in your core placement, in your fourth
house of core emotions, home, family, place of living, house, residency,
relationship with your mother, relationship with your inner child, real estate,
emotional well-being, and emotional health. This Full Moon can bring eccentricity
in your family relationships. It can bring tension and challenges because this Full
Moon makes a square aspect, an aspect that can bring a bit of pressure and
crises. But this Full Moon has a task to bring resolution and completion of
something that’s been going on in your home and family world. This Full Moon
can bring culminations in your home, family, feelings, emotions, emotional
reactions, and triggers. Something is brought to light in your home and
something is illuminated within your family. Some of you may be moving,
changing location, renovating your home in a unique and original way, and
experiencing something that can be called an emotional revolution.
On the same day when this Full Moon happens, there is a very positive and
supportive energy unfolding, and that is a friendly and helpful trine aspect
between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Mars will make three positive trine
aspects this month, and the first one is with Jupiter, planet of abundance,
prosperity, fortune, wisdom, meaning, and expansion. Earth energies are
concrete, material, solid, and stable, and can bring you stability and
groundedness. Mars is in Virgo in your eleventh house of friends, communities,
associates, groups of people, social circles, teamwork, goals, and dreams, while
Jupiter is in your opposite sign Taurus in your seventh house of one-on-one
relationships, commitments, partnerships, unions, collaborations, and
interactions with others. This energy feels very good for your relationships with
people; it can bring you solid friendships, a sense of stability and security with
your social, intimate, or business partner, groundedness, as well as patience and
calmness with people you’re working with, collaborating with, and communicating
with. On the 16th of August, Mars makes another trine aspect with Uranus, also
in Taurus, in your house of marriage, legal matters, official things, desires, and
cooperations. This can bring you positive surprises with people from your
community and unexpected manifestations that are beneficial for you through
your friendships, sudden love relationships, or sudden marriages for some of
you—these are out of the blue manifestation of things you’ve been praying for in
your relationships. On the 24th of August, Mars makes its third trine aspect with
Pluto in Capricorn in your third house. This brings you wanted transformations
and regenerations in your relationships with siblings, relatives, neighbors, and
people from your local community. All these positive Earth trines happen in your
social houses and bring you concrete and stable connections with
people—reliable connections, loyal people, and people you can trust. You can
also expect positive changes in your communications with others.
On the 10th of August, Mercury in Virgo makes a positive aspect with Jupiter in
Taurus. You can experience positive communication, supportive conversations,
and trips with your friends, your partner, or with anyone else, and these
connections, conversations, and trips can make you feel very stable, secure,
grounded, and peaceful. Mercury is in Virgo, together with Mars. Mercury will go
retrograde on the 23rd of the month, but this retrograde energy will be felt
throughout the whole month. Mercury retrograde in your eleventh house of
friends, communities, and groups of people can definitely bring back people from
your past. You may be reconnecting with people you haven’t seen or heard from
in a while, with people you used to be on the same team with, or with friends
from the past. You may finishing the unfinished within your groups, communities,
or friendships. You are making something right with others. You may also have
an opportunity to manifest something you’ve been dreaming of for a very long
time. Some of your highest aspirations may have an opportunity now to come to
a fruition, and you will be working proactively on it. You are doing something
significant with people, and you may be of great service to others now in many
ways.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, there are more supportive energies going
on. On the 12th of August, the Sun in your tenth house of career and profession
makes a positive trine aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in Aries, in your
sixth house of health, well-being, work, service to others, daily routines, and
habits. You can expect great healing that has to do with your career, work, job,
daily routines and habits, and lifestyle. You are able to digest that process of
healing now. On the 13th of August, the Sun and Venus retrograde come
together in playful and fiery Leo at the top of your chart, and this can bring you
success and recognition. You may be noticed for the things that you do or for the
things that you’ve done in the past. This energy can bring you blessings from the
past in areas of your career, contribution, profession, reputation, success, social
status, relationship with authority figures, and father figures. On the 14th of
August, Venus retrograde makes a supportive trine aspect with the wounded
healer Chiron in your sixth house of health, work, schedules, and everyday life.
You can experience very supportive energy in these areas of your life, and you
can change your life for the better. Your career and profession can have a very
positive effect on your health, routines, and habits, or you may change and
improve your habits and routines, which can have a very beneficial and healing
influence on your life direction, contribution, employment, and career.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon happening in your fellow Fixed sign
Leo. This highlights your highest position in the chart, your tenth house, the
Zenith of the Zodiac, in your house of career, success, recognition, profession,
contribution, vocation, life direction, life path, relationship with father and father
figures, relationship with authority figures, and own authority. This New Moon is
strong because it is in the same place with Venus retrograde this month, and this
brings you new beginnings in your career, as well as new possibilities and
opportunities. These new beginnings could very well be related to the things you
did in the past, like your goals and ambitions. You will be able to renew and
refresh your profession and your reputation in a loving way, thanks to Venus
being here, but this energy may push you out of your comfort zone. This is very
much needed, and it can only bring you betterment and improvement with your
career and your reputation, as well as with your relationship with your father or
with dominant figures in your life. Expect new life directions, new business
opportunities, and new creative expressions.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mars and Mercury in your
eleventh house of communities, networking, friendships, clients, desires,
aspirations, long-range goals, and dreams. Mercury goes retrograde on the same
day, and you can expect a lot of activities with people—social activities,
conversations, agreements, and deals with people that resonate with your goals
and dreams. You will be reviewing, reassessing, rethinking, and re-evaluating
your relationships with people—your friends, associates, place amongst others,
role in a community, and role in your friendships.
On the 27th of August, your ancient ruler Mars moves into Libra and activates
your twelfth house of spiritual dimensions, meditation, relaxation, retreat,
withdrawal, isolation, solitude, silence, and inner peace, but also addictions,
escapisms, damaging habits, denial of reality, spiritual bypassing, blindspots, and
weaknesses. Mars is tricky in the twelfth house and it can bring sleep issues; it
can bring insomnia and nightmares in some cases, but this is all happening for a
reason. Mars here wants you to find your rhythm, and it encourages you to go
within and face your subconscious fears. This energy will be felt more in
September, but you will start feeling it these last couple of days of August. You
will be putting more energy and action into your invisible world and inner journey.
On the 31st of August, there’s the second Full Moon that happens this month.
This one happens in your fellow Water sign Pisces and it shines a light on your
love, romance, creativity, children if you have them, relationship with children in
general, child within you, hobbies, gifts and talents, and creative self-expression.
You can expect beautiful romantic encounters during this time. This Full Moon
brings culmination in your love life and with your children, and it can bring things
to light. It can bring things to surface when it comes to your love, romance,
creative projects, business, and self-employment. This is healing energy, and it is
highly creative, intuitive, and artistic too. If you’re doing anything creative or
artistic, this Full Moon will be very beautiful and fulfilling for you. Love is shining
during this time, and you can truly enjoy something that brings peace to your
heart. Some of you could experience the feeling of unconditional love now, at
least for one moment, and this can happen through your love relationship,
through your children if you have them, through your creative processes, through
having fun and enjoying life, or through just being present in the moment and
being in the now.
There is carefree joy here. We see this on the card, as the young man looks like
he’s being carried away by his dreams. He carries his things on his shoulder and
he doesn’t worry about the journey ahead of him. There’s a small dog next to
him, and the dog is barking and trying to warn him. He carries a white rose in his
hand, and this represents purity, naivety, and innocence. This is a card of
uncertainty and unpredictability. This is a card of freedom and spontaneity. This is
a card of infinite potential. It suggests that anything is possible. This card is about
that first step toward the unknown, about making that leap of faith and stepping
into the unknown. It is about taking a risk. This is about doing something in the
moment, in the now, and not really thinking too much or being calculating, rather,
being present and making that step forward. This is about trusting the Universe,
trusting the unknown and unseen, and allowing yourself to move beyond limited
perception and beyond what’s safe, tried, and known. This is something crazy,
daring, bold, brave, wild, uncertain, unpredictable, and youthful.
There is a bit of foolishness here as well; the card is called The Fool after all, and
it can also mean that there is someone in your life now who resembles The Fool.
The world may see you as foolish in certain actions that you’re committing, but
The Fool has support and guidance. The Fool is connected to the mystical and
the mysterious side of life, and is protected. This card says “Do it.” Don’t second
guess it. Go for it. Do something despite the fear of the unknown. This is about
beginnings of all kinds—career beginnings, relationship beginnings, spiritual
beginnings, personal journeys, family beginnings, financial beginnings, and any
kind of beginnings. You are moving away from something you’re finished with,
and you’re starting something over. You move forward and do it, you take a risk,
you don’t care what the whole world thinks, you trust the Universe, you embrace
the unknown, you start the adventure, you live in the present moment, you do the
unexpected, you surprise yourself and others, you trust, and you take on crazy
opportunities. This is about idealistic hopes and dreams, and you are dreaming
big now. There’s a carefree attitude, and there is a free spirit present with you.
This card could mean that you’re dealing with someone young and naive, too.
There is an exciting adventure ahead of you. There is a rewarding experience
that helps you grow, evolve, and mature. This is about taking that first step even
when you have no idea what awaits you. Risk is needed, and you’re going to be
rewarded for it. These are welcome changes, exciting moments, and new
adventures. Good luck!
The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to—it is
our nest and our relationship with our mother, but also with Mother Nature, inner
Goddess, and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon represents
nurturing, caring, and nourishing energy, and it is also associated with the mind
and the fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us overly emotional,
reactive, easily provoked, and irritated, but it can also make us compassionate,
kind, gentle, and friendly. It is always a reminder that we have to work with our
emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon represents people as well
and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our daily life and daily habits, and
it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and our heart, our nerves and our
cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our routines and habits. The Moon
quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning to waxing phase, and it affects
the fluids and the water in our body; water symbolically always represents
emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations, too. The Moon is also related to
receptive energy, the feminine principle, instincts and intuition, rhythms and
cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system and our eating patterns related to
our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions, the way we react, unconsciousness
and unconscious patterns, relationship with the mother, past, past lives, growing
up, and subconscious habits. It rules our memories and our feelings that are
packed with those memories. The Moon also has a lot to do with our soul food,
what feeds our soul. The Moon has always been related to dreams, beauty, and
imagination, and it also rules fertility and pregnancy. The Moon represents our
home and our family, our roots and our ancestors, our own space and our need
for security.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon this month in the most inspiring,
enthusiastic, origins, authentic, and unique way, you are asked to work on
releasing negative emotions, negative emotional patterns, and negative
emotional attachments through observing, conscious witnessing, non-identifying
with those states of being, facing those things face to face, and letting them pass
through you. Do something original and authentic with your family. Go through
the process of forgiveness related to your home, family, parents, past, and
childhood. Write down your forgiveness letter to your family, ancestors, past self,
mother, and father. Write a gratitude letter to all of them. You don’t have to
literally write down all these things if you don’t feel like doing that, but you can go
through these forgivenesses within yourself—mentally, emotionally, physically,
and spiritually. Work with your emotions. Don’t suppress them, deny them,
neglect them, or reject them. Be open towards emotions. Speak to your inner
child and write a letter to your inner child. Look at your own authority, and
recognize issues and unhealthy patterns that come up related to your authority
issues. Notice authority issues, mother issues, and father issues, then release
them, cleanse them, purge them, and let them go. This is not a one time process;
this is an ongoing continuous process, and you need to do these cleansings,
purgings, and healings from time to time. Now is an ideal time for releasing a
huge amount of those emotional wounds and pains that you have accumulated
over the years, centuries, and many lifetimes. Do something new with your role in
the world and think about new and enjoyable ways of contributing, being of
service, and influencing others around you. Think about the things you want to
accomplish and the things you want to share with the world. Think about your
gifts and talents, and how you want to put them out there in the world. Do your
best to do them with a smile on your face.
- Think about your goals in life. Choose one that you really want to see
manifested, and choose one that you really have strong feelings for. Now, find
some comfortable place to sit down and close your eyes. Take your time, listen to
your breathing, and just feel the present moment. Then, imagine yourself as if
you already live in this manifested goal reality. Feel grateful for being there, and
feel gratitude for this manifested goal. Then, return to the present moment with
that same feeling of gratitude. Do this every day. You need only a couple of
minutes for this powerful exercise that takes you closer to your goal. This is the
power of manifestation, to feel gratitude for the goal that you have in front of you
as if it has already manifested. Good luck!
- Describe your source to yourself. When you think of your source, what do you
imagine first? What are your first associations? How do you feel your source, and
where do you feel it? Find yourself a comfortable space, place, and position, then
sit down, close your eyes, and visit your source. Ask your source to show itself to
yourself. Let your imagination, visualization, and creativity take you there. What
are your first images, thoughts, associations, and emotions when you imagine
your source? Describe it, illustrate it, write it down, and turn it into poetry, song,
sentence, color, feeling, and taste. Describe it in as many ways as you want.
Spend some time there in your source visualization, and see how it makes you
feel. What details do you notice? What catches your eye, mind, and heart? Enjoy
the ride.
- Imagine yourself on a beach. Imagine that you’re totally alone on this beach,
and there’s nobody else but you. It is you, the Sun, the sky, the sea, the sand, the
beauty, the colors, the calmness, the air, the smell of the sea, and the summer
breeze. Feel the whole atmosphere. Imagine any part of the day that you want,
and feel free to choose which part of the day you want it to be. Imagine that
you’re running on this beach and feeling the air, the breeze, the smell, and the
beauty of the movement. Run and feel the joy of running. Feel your body. When
you’re ready, imagine that you’re running across the water. Feel the surface of
the water under your feet, and just keep running. See your reflection in the water
and the Sun in front of you, and run towards the Sun. Feel your body, feel the
water, feel the Sun, and then jump as high as you can. Jump very, very high and
enter the water. Sink underneath the water, and feel the joy, the pleasure, and the
surrender. Enjoy your ride.
- Try to communicate with people without using the word “I.” Try to say everything
that you need to say without using “I.” See how difficult or easy it is. See what
this means to you, and see how “I” is significant. Experiment, find new ways to
express yourself, be creative, and see what this exercise does to you.
- Throw out everything that you don’t need anymore. Give away those things or
throw them away. This can be anything that is outdated and that doesn’t serve
you anymore—clothes, stuff, letters, and things you have saved for no reason.
Give away and throw away everything you don’t use or need. By doing this, you
send a clear message to the Universe that you’re ready to receive new energy,
new people, new things, and new self, and that you’re done with things that have
no value anymore in your life. You are symbolically getting rid of emotional and
mental patterns and programs that don’t serve you anymore.
- Write down your top five goals in life that you have right now. Write them down
on a piece of paper, and then bury that piece of paper somewhere where you
want and find a good place for it. Do it with strong intention. You’re planting
seeds now, and when you plant these seeds, let them be there and let them
grow. You set your intention, and now, you let the seeds grow naturally. Come
back to them from time to time, think about them, and send them love, kindness,
care, and joy. Imagine them growing, see them blossoming, and feel them
manifested.
- Create the soundtrack of your own life. Imagine your life as a movie. Go
through it, feel it objectively, and observe yourself—your days, your state of
being, your feelings, your emotions, your actions, and your reactions. Start
creating a soundtrack of your own movie that is your life. There are no limitations.
You can choose as many and all kinds of different songs as you want, as well as
the many different genres, but feel free to choose anything. There are no limits,
mistakes, or wrong choices. Enjoy the process of creating this soundtrack to see
how it makes you feel. See what new answers and insights you gain by doing
this.
- Hunt those moments with yourself where you don’t feel any kind of disturbance
at all—where you don’t feel any kind of stress, anxiety, worry, fear, or uncertainty.
Observe yourself, and catch these moments. See them, acknowledge them, be
aware of them, and be present in them. Write down these moments in your
notes. Keep your little “Feel Free” notes and write down each time you feel these
moments of bliss. There are many of them during the day; it’s just that you don’t
notice them because it’s a habit to stay busy with something all the time. You
don’t notice those precious moments of nothing disturbing you. Just write down
the date, the time, and a short note about it. Keep it in record that you noticed it.
Be aware of these moments. As you keep recording them, you will become more
and more aware of these moments, and soon, you will feel that there’s a lot of
those moments in your daily life, much more than those where you’re occupied
with distracting thoughts, unnecessary worries, and exhausting plans and ideas.
Practice to be in this state and just observe yourself. Each time you notice this
moment at least for just one second, write it down.
- Do something with your friends. Invite them for dinner, a movie, a drink, a walk,
a ride, or whatever you want that is good and constructive. Go out with your
friends, spend time with them, get together, socialize, do something interactive,
have fun, and feel the joy of sharing your time with others. Be alive with others,
make someone smile, allow others to make you smile, and accept offers and
invitations from your friends or family.
- Do I experience deja-vu moments in life? How often have I felt those moments
in my life? What are they usually about? What are my deja-vus telling me about
myself?
- Do I ever wonder if this life is a dream? Do I ever question this reality that I live
in? What kind of feeling do I get when I start questioning this life? What kind of
feeling do I get when I ask life if this is a dream?
- How often do I feel great about myself? How often do I feel amazed about
myself? How often do I give myself compliments? How often am I grateful for
having me?
- What are my family relations telling me about myself? Do I have a family that I
fully accept, or do I have a family that I want to change in some way? What is this
telling me about myself?

On the same day when this Full Moon shines a light on your relationships and

to ground yourself, to calm yourself, to be present, to cool down, and to find your

Jupiter in Taurus, and this activates your sixth house of daily work, daily routines
and habits, job, schedules, responsibilities, duties, tasks, health, well-being,

very supportive energy now in these areas of your life, and there is definitely
something concrete and stable happening with your work, your employment, your
way of being of help and of service, your reputation, and your health. This is
expansion of your work and health in some way, and this energy brings

unexpected good news and surprises. These are beneficial energies for you, and
you may suddenly feel much better physically if you’ve felt ill or unhealthy lately.
You may suddenly make a decision to remove some of your unhealthy routines

resources, savings, spendings, gifts, talents, self-worth, self-value,
self-sufficiency, and priorities. You can expect wanted and needed

conversation and connection with someone related to your work and career,
health and well-being, and profession and future. You can expect conversations
with authority figures, father figures, or superiors that can affect your health and
work in a very pleasant and expansive way.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, there’s a very good energy for you that
awakens your sense of joy and pleasure, that triggers the child within you, and
that makes you more aware of the things that are worth living, seeing, and
knowing. On the 12th of August, the Sun in your fellow fiery sign Leo makes a
beneficial aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in your fellow fiery sign Aries.
This is a Fire trine that has a huge motivating and encouraging influence, as well
as an impressive inspirational impact on your soul and your heart. On the 13th of
August, the Sun and Venus retrograde come together in Leo ninth house of
higher meaning, higher education, higher knowledge, higher purpose, higher self,
higher mind, and everything that puts you in that higher place of being. This is
your natural house, and you know very well how to work with these energies. You
can expect something beautiful on your travels if you are traveling; you can
expect love to flourish and blossom during this time; you can expect success in
your education and knowledge, as well as success when it comes to learning,
teaching, and with legal matters if you are dealing with any. This is an amazing
time for expanding your knowledge and for bringing more love, understanding,
and beauty in your perception of life and your connections with people. On the
14th of August, Venus retrograde makes a trine aspect with the wounded healer
Chiron in your fifth house of love, romance, children, pleasure, entertainment, joy,
fun, creativity, self-employment, self-expression, gifts, and talents. You can
expect a very healing energy now when it comes to your love life, your children if
you have them, or your relationship with children in general. You are healing the
child within you, and you’re discovering identity wounds that prevent you from
experiencing joy and pleasure of life. You are discovering things that prevent you
from living a fulfilled life, and this is an amazing energy for spiritual encounters
and for spiritual insights that have the power to release you and free you from
limited point of view and restricted perception.
On the 16th of August, there’s a gorgeous New Moon happening in your fellow
Fire sign Leo, highlighting your natural ninth house and resonating with Venus
retrograde and the Sun there. This New Moon brings you blessings and amazing
opportunities for expanding your knowledge, perception, and life, as well as
bringing in more adventures, creativity, joy, pleasure, travels, and spiritual
understanding that goes beyond the intellectual and rational comprehension. You
can expect a higher understanding of things in life, and some of you may start a
new enjoyable spiritual practice during this time. You may be amazed by how life
can change in a wonderful way if you make only one small positive change in
your life. This New Moon could take you to a new place, to new countries, or to
new lands, either physically or spiritually. Venus is retrograde here, so this could
mean that things from the past can come again now in a totally new and different
way. You may revisit some places you’ve visited before, but they will have a
completely new taste and new appearance for you. You may be reconsidering
some of the beliefs and perspectives from the past, and you may now have a
totally new and different approach that can actually inspire you and bring you a
benevolent journey and connections with people. Expect good international
connections and support through foreigners.
On the 22nd of August, there’s one tricky aspect between Mars in Virgo and
Saturn in Pisces; this affects your key areas of life, your fourth and tenth houses,
your private and public life, your parents, your home and your career, your inner
and your outer world, as well as your emotional and your material security. You
may feel a bit confused by what you want and need during this time. You may be
projecting your inner child needs onto your career, profession, and role in the
world, and you may be projecting your mother and father issues onto your family,
family relations, and success in life. This aspect could slow you down in those
places where you want to speed up things, or vice versa. Don’t get frustrated
because this is a temporary energy and it will pass quickly. Just be patient with
your family, boss, superiors, parents, work, and home, and things will be resolved
sooner than you had expected them to.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mars and Mercury on top
of your chart in your tenth house of success, goals, ambitions, life direction, and
career. The Sun will be here one whole month, while Mercury is retrograde here
until the 14th of September. Mercury begins its retrograde motion on the same
day when the Sun enters Virgo, and you will be mainly focused on your
profession, contribution, place in the world, as well as how the world perceives
you, your employment, your relationship with your father, and your own authority.
You will be reviewing, reassessing, reconsidering, rethinking, and restructuring
your role in the world and your career. Things from the past can come to you
now, and career opportunities from the past can resurface again. You will be able
to finish the unfinished work in these areas of your life, to have that conversation
with your boss, your father, your superior, or anyone who has that authority figure
in your life regardless of gender. You will have an opportunity to make things
right, even though there will be some pressure and tension since Mercury and
the Sun in Virgo make a tense square aspect with your sign. You will have to do
something you wouldn’t normally do, and this will actually bring you more
self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-trust. Mercury retrograde can also bring
misunderstandings and miscommunications, so make sure you are as clear as
you can be with people during this time. Don’t hesitate to repeat things if the
other person didn’t hear you well or didn’t quite understand you the first time.
Also, don’t hesitate to ask others to say something again if you think you have
misinterpreted their words in any way. Pay attention to your words. Pay attention
to the things you write, especially if it’s related to your work and career. Pay
attention to what you’re signing, and pay attention to emails, messages, news,
and reports that you’re sending and receiving. This Mercury retrograde is perfect
for questioning your life direction and your life purpose, and it can bring you inner
vision and revelation of where you want to be and what you want to do.
On the 31st of August, there’s the second Full Moon in August. This one happens
in your fellow Mutable sign Pisces, in your fourth house of home, family, real
estate, place of living, house, residency, environment, family members,
roommates, people you live with, people you share your space with, people you
consider your family, emotional stability and security, mother, inner child,
emotional health, and emotional intelligence. This energy has a task to bring you
emotional healing and surrender. This Full Moon shines a light on your emotional
insecurities and instabilities, so that you can release what needs to be released,
learn to surrender and let go, learn to accept and release, and learn to heal and
integrate. This Full Moon brings healing in your home and your family, and for
some of you, this energy can bring possibility for relocation, for changing your
home, for moving, and for finally seeing things come to a fruition when it comes
to your home and family matters. You are dealing with your emotional body now,
and this Full Moon is here to teach you about the unconditional love towards your
inner child, past, childhood, and memories. You are diving deep into your inner
self, and you’re resolving your victimhood patterns and destructive emotional
programs that run your life.
Sunflowers and lions are very present in the card, and they represent the Fire
element, royalty, strength, and power. These are symbols of fertility, happiness,
satisfaction, and fulfillment. She’s also holding a sunflower in her left hand. In her
right hand, she holds a blossoming wand symbolizing life, passion, strength, and
power. There’s also a black cat at the bottom of her feet. She represents the
mysterious side of life. It’s associated with magic. The base of the Queen’s wand
is directly next to the cat. So, there is mystical power here as well. There is
magic, and there is deep intuitive strength. The Queen of Wands has a very great
lust for life, and this card also means abundance and the manifestation of
abundance. Queens are very much related to witches, and black cats are also
strongly related to witches, so this card shows that there are mystical powers that
work for you now helping you manifest your desires. This card means that there
is a woman in your life who will play a very meaningful and significant role in
things you want to accomplish. This card means that there’s success for you.
This card either represents you or an important woman in your life. She is
energetic, independent, ambitious, and determined. She is capable of many
things, she is very mature, grounded, and directed toward her desires, and she’s
making them come true. This card asks and reminds you to be courageous and
bold, to be self-aware and self-confident, and to go after your goals and
ambitions. Believe in yourself, and don’t be afraid to express yourself. The
Queen of Wands also encourages you to face those hidden parts of yourself, to
face your shadow self, to face the darker side of yourself, and to be ready to step
into your power.
In order to channel the energy of Mercury retrograde this month in the most
constructive, productive way, empowering, and encouraging way, you are asked
to deeply look within yourself and to see the things that you truly want to be
known for—what kind of influence you want to have on others, how you want the
world to perceive you, how you want to be seen and perceived by the world, what
kind of impression you want to leave onto others, and what kind of contribution
you want to make. What are you good at, what is your role in the world, and are
you truly satisfied and fulfilled by it? Write down your goals and ambitions, and
see if they truly resonate with your being and your purpose. Don’t avoid
conversations with authority figures. Don’t delay or avoid a conversation with
your father if one needs to happen. Be open about it, and speak openly. Think
about all the things that make you feel useful, purposeful, and practical. Think
about all the ways that you can be of use and of service. Start doing those things,
step by step. Do small things, and anything that is practical, useful, and
service-oriented. Think about all your goals and ambitions from the past and see
how they are aligned with you now. See if they still valid and if they still meant for
you. Are they still igniting the fire in you? And if the answer is yes, go after those
things now. Do something that will bring those things into your life because you
are supported to do so now, as well as to benefit from things from the past. If
there is a chance to connect with people from your past, don’t hesitate and don’t
avoid these connections. See what these connections can bring you and why
they showed up in your life. This Mercury retrograde is perfect for inner dialogues
and for deep introspection—reviewing, reassessing, rethinking, and re-evaluating
your goals, ambitions, career, purpose in life, contribution, and the ability to
deliver the message from your inner being to the world.
- Find a photo, an image, or a painting that you like for some reason; it can be
literally anything. Observe this image, take a good look at it, look at all the
details, and look at the whole image. Observe it very well. Observe it for some
time, remember it, absorb it, and then close your eyes and reproduce it in your
mind. See this image now with your eyes closed. See it in the way you
remembered it. See how much you managed to remember—how many details
you remembered. Stay with this mental reproduction of an image for some time,
and then open your eyes and see what you missed or what you added that
wasn’t there. This is an excellent exercise for practicing consciousness and
awareness, for improving your memory, and for becoming more aware of the
things that are happening in your reality. Enjoy the ride.
- Imagine that you’re walking down the highway without any cars on the road,
without anyone or anything. Imagine yourself walking down the abandoned
highway. It is early evening. The sun is still shining beautifully. There is an
endless road in front of you and behind you. There are mountains all around you,
and the temperature is perfect for walking. You’re walking, you’re listening to the
wind, you’re feeling the breeze on your skin, and you’re feeling super
comfortable. You are with someone very close to you, someone whose company
you really enjoy, and you’re having a conversation. What are you talking about?
Describe your experience, your journey, the whole atmosphere of the
conversation, the topic, and the feeling of the environment. Go through this
journey. Feel it, live it, and enjoy it. See what themes come up during this
conversation. Who would you choose to be there with, and what would you talk
about with that person?
- When you say “I am hurt” or “It hurts me,” where do you actually feel that hurt?
Where does it come from, and can you locate it somewhere in your body? Where
do you put your hands when you say it hurts you, and where do you feel this?
Put your hand there where you feel this and say “It hurts me here,” then release it
and feel how saying these words actually release the hurt and the pain. Repeat
this as many times as you need until you feel it.
- Close your eyes and practice being in a totally different reality where there is
nothing that is familiar to you. There is nobody that you know, and you are not
you. You are somebody completely different, and there is nothing similar to who
you are now. There is not one familiar face or place, and nothing that you know.
Totally unknown territory and people, but you have life there—a completely
different life than this one. This won't be so easy to imagine because you will see
how familiar things pop up here and there all the time. Keep eliminating them. Do
this daily for at least six minutes, feeling this totally so that when you open your
eyes you need some time to come back to yourself and your life.
- Imagine that you are walking down the hall full of doors, holding the keys to
each door. You are unlocking them one by one. Each door keeps something
precious, priceless, and valuable for you. What are you finding there? Go through
this journey. See what you’re discovering and what you’re seeing when you
unlock those doors. See yourself unlocking those doors, see the keys and the
lock, and feel the moment of unlocking them. You know exactly which key is for
which door. Feel the moment of unlocking and opening, and feel the moment of
unlocking very vividly. Do this thing in your home in order to feel how good it
feels. Try opening the doors while they’re locked, and then use the key and
unlock it to enter through the doors. Feel this moment of having an access.
- Look up into the sky, and stay like that for at least 10 minutes. Observe the sky
during the day and night for at least 10 minutes each day if you can. Be there,
get lost in it, let it speak to you, and be open to listen and receive. Let it take you
into a trance state. Be there, be the sky, watch it without distractions, and don’t
look away from it during your observation. Be really there, absorb the sky, and let
the sky absorb you.
- Each day, when you wake up, wish yourself a good morning. Give yourself a
smile, wish the whole world a good morning, say out loud your affirmations, and
start your day with singing. Sing your affirmations in any melody you want, in any
way you want, but sing them. Start your day in this way. Enjoy your mornings,
enjoy your waking up, and enjoy the moment you’re awake and alive.
- Pick one profound book that you are going to read this month. Research about
profound books—books that change your beliefs and opinions, give you
something very meaningful, priceless, and valuable, transform your perception,
help you understand the reality you live in, and share deep knowledge.
- Write down a list of things that you want to release, let go of, discharge from,
and eliminate from your system. These are your emotions, patterns, beliefs,
ideals, fears, and old dreams and hopes that you don’t resonate with anymore.
This can also be your way of looking at certain things, your way of doing certain
things, your addictions, the type of relationships you don’t need anymore, and
anything and everything. Make a list of all these things that you want to remove
from your field, and then burn this paper or rip it off and throw it away. Do this as
many times as you want, every couple of days, in order to remember and feel all
the things that need to be released. Each time you do this, you will feel that
certain things have already fallen away from your energetic field and that there’s
no need to list them anymore. Enjoy the process.
- How do I feel about purpose? What do I think purpose is? How would I define
purpose? What are my first associations, images, thoughts, feelings, and
emotions that come up when I hear the word “purpose”? What does this tell me
about myself?
- How often do I think about the meaning of life? When do I usually think about
the meaning of life? What kind of things trigger these kinds of thoughts and
questions in me?
- How often do I face my fears? What are some of my most stubborn fears that I
keep facing, that I keep dealing with, and that I keep seeing, resurfacing time and
time again? What are these fears about? How old are these fears? What do they
tell me about myself?
- What are my highest goals? What are my highest aspirations? What are my
highest deepest desires?
- If my higher self stood in front of me and asked me what I really want in my life,
what would be my answer? What would I say to my higher self?
CAPRICORN
On the 1st of August, there’s the first Full Moon in the month happening in the
sign of Aquarius, in your second house of finances, money, resources,
possessions, earnings, values, gifts and talents, self-worth, and priorities. This
Full Moon shines a light on these areas of your life and makes you more aware
of the things that need to be seen, acknowledged, changed, improved, or let go
of. Expect financial culminations. Something may come to a fruition financially,
especially if you’ve been working hard, putting a lot of effort, and devoting to
something. This Full Moon reveals your unique gifts and talents, and it can bring
resources and money through something that is unconventional, unusual, and
technologically advanced. This is also about understanding and realizing that you
are the most advanced resource that there is. This Full Moon is here to remind
you to value yourself in order to gain the material stability that you may be asking
for and yearning for. You may be giving away things you don’t need, and it's a
great time for releasing unnecessary material things from your life—things that
don’t serve you anymore, so that you can make space for things that are truly
valuable and worthy.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there’s a friendly and harmonious aspect
happening between Mars in your fellow Earth sign Virgo and Jupiter in your
fellow Earth sign Taurus. There are three Earth trines this month, and this
impacts you in a very beautiful, supportive, and beneficial way. You can expect
manifestations you’ve been wanting, desiring, and asking for. On the 1st of
August, Mars makes a trine with Jupiter, and this brings good and positive
opportunities related to your business and self-employment. You can expect
expansion of your business, expansion of creativity, and more meaning, joy, and
pleasure in your life. You are asked to lighten up this month, and these energies
will bring a smile to your face for sure; however, it’s also your job to recognize
these opportunities, to recognize good things in your life, and to put more focus
on those things instead of being focused on things that are missing. You will have
enormous support to build something that is really sustainable, sufficient, stable,
and valuable. Your love life is also expanding, and if you have children, you can
expect something very beautiful with your children, with somebody else’s
children, or work with children. You may also be traveling and expanding your
vision, talents, joy, and pleasure through, not only physical travels, but also
spiritual journeys. Something will turn out to be very good for you, so expect
lucky opportunities that uplift you and cheer you up. On the 16th of August, Mars
makes another trine aspect, this time with Uranus in Taurus, in your fifth house of
love, romance, children, joy, pleasure, gifts, and talents. Mars is in your ninth
house of long distance travels, international connections, international business,
spiritual pursuits, spiritual teachings, spiritual teachers, higher learning, higher
knowledge, higher education, wisdom, expansion of perception, and seeing the
bigger picture. You will be putting a lot of action and energy into expanding your
consciousness and upgrading your knowledge, spiritual path, education, and the
ability to live fully. This trine with Uranus brings unexpected things that are good
for you and that happen out of the blue. For some of you, this can be pregnancy
news if this is what you’re looking for. For others, this could be about success in
your business. It could be about sudden and unexpected expansion of your
business, sudden and unexpected love, or unexpected joy and pleasure. On the
24th of August, Mars makes its third trine with Pluto in your sign. This is amazing
for your personal development, personal transformation, physical health, and
well-being. Expect positive and wanted transformation of your life. Expect
something that will have a very harmonious and supportive effect on you and that
will change your life for the better. Change your behavior, attitude, and physical
appearance.
On the 10th of August, Mercury in Virgo makes a positive and beneficial trine
aspect with Jupiter in Taurus. This energy can bring beautiful encounters and
conversations that can be very harmonious and uplifting for you. You can expect
connections with people who bring back a smile on your face, or you may be the
one who saves the day in some way during this time with your words, gestures,
and expressions. Mercury is a lot about learning, teaching, knowledge, news,
messages, and transport. This is in your ninth house, so this can bring amazing
knowledge and improvement of your skills that you can share with the world, and
through which you can prosper either in your business or love life. You can also
transfer your knowledge to others in a powerful way, and others may be children
or young people.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, you can expect deep healing energy in
your life—healing of your suppressed emotions, healing of your hidden world,
and healing of those things that you’re ashamed and afraid of. The Sun and
Venus retrograde are together in Leo, in your eighth house of death, rebirth,
transformation, secrets, traumas, depth of being, unconscious desires and
attachments, sexuality, hidden things, taboo themes, intimacy, intimate
relationships, shared resources, joint finances, inheritances, taxes, bills, credits,
and loans. There’s a lot of healing and purging happening here for you—a lot of
detoxing, cleansing, and deep and profound revelations that bring gentle
confrontations with your shadow. On the 12th, the Sun makes a harmonious trine
aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in your fellow Cardinal sign Aries, in your
fourth house of home and family; on the 13th, the Sun and Venus come together
in exact conjunction; on the 14th, Venus retrograde makes a supportive trine
aspect with Chiron. These aspects and transits are here to bring deeper
understanding of your past, your family issues, your mother and father issues,
your childhood, your past traumas, your untreated wounds, and your suppressed
feelings. This healing energy happens on an emotional level, through your
emotional body, and therefore it immediately affects your mental and physical
body too. You may discover some things that bring comfort and relief. You may
find out some things, either about your family, your past, your emotional stability,
and your inner child, that sets you free in some way. It may be uncomfortable at
first. You may struggle, you may fight with it, and you may feel like you want to
suppress it again, but it will come out and it will bring a gentle and harmonious
healing. Some of you may do this intentionally, and you may dive very deep with
yourself to discover things that have a strong healing effect on you. You are
becoming more aware of how the inner world works, and you may become very
interested in discovering and learning more about the hidden realms of reality,
esoteric, occult, and metaphysical teachings, psychology, parapsychology, and
hypnosis—about getting to the root of things.
On the 16th of August, there's a New Moon happening in Leo, resonating with
Venus retrograde and the Sun in your eighth house of the depths of the soul and
the depths of the psyche. This New Moon has the power to enlighten your inner
world, to bring new light and new beginning in the chambers of your being, to
show you the way, and to bring joy and pleasure through facing and confronting
your darkness and your suppressed feelings and memories. You are invited to
look at yourself with new eyes and deal with your fears in a new way. You are
given this opportunity for a new beginning, as well as for seeing your past and
your traumas in a whole new way—in a liberating and transformative way. Expect
new transformations that are there to show you how to live your life in a more
fulfilling, satisfying, and pleasurable way. Not everything that is suppressed
needs to be heavy and scary. Those things that you’re afraid of can turn out to be
pure gold for you.
On the 22nd of August, there’s a tricky aspect called opposition between your
ruler Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Virgo. This shines a light on your third and
ninth houses—houses of knowledge, learning, teaching, sharing information,
traveling, networking, connecting with people, exchanging ideas and thoughts,
communicating, and publishing. Something may not be so clear now, and you
may get confused about something. You may share a message in an unclear
way, or you may misinterpret somebody’s words easily. Be aware that this is
active during this time, and know that it will pass soon. You may learn something
in a wrong way, or you may have difficulty understanding something that’s been
taught or shared. Don’t worry too much about it, and don’t try to impose your will
onto others because some of you may have a tendency to do so now. You may
be projecting your insecurities onto people from your close surroundings, and
you may project your beliefs and ideals onto your brothers and sisters,
neighbors, relatives, and people from your local community. Just be more
open-minded and put a smile on your face when you’re interacting with people
during this time, and all will be super fine. See these things in a funny way.
Choose to see the funny side of misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun enters Virgo and joins Mars and Mercury in your
ninth house of higher learning, higher mind, higher self, higher purpose, higher
meaning, spiritual endeavors, spiritual encounters, spiritual teachings, long
distance travels, expansion of your mind, expansion of your vision, legal matters,
international connections, and international business. Mercury goes retrograde
on the same day when the Sun enters Virgo, and Mercury will be retrograde until
the 14th of September. This is a time for reconnecting with people from your
past, for revisiting places you’ve visited before, for revisiting countries you’ve
been to before, for reconnecting with people who live overseas, for finishing the
unfinished business, for leaving room for flexible schedules, and for easy and
light plans. Avoid rigid and strict schedules and plans because it is very possible
that you will have to change and reschedule them a lot. You may find things
you’ve lost during Mercury retrograde, and this can be lost faith, lost spiritual
connection with your higher self, lost meaning, and lost purpose. You are coming
back to something meaningful and valuable now. Mercury is here in its own sign,
and you can really learn something now that will stick with you for a long
time—something long lasting, valuable, purposeful, and efficient. You can learn
things you’ve always wanted to learn but couldn’t for some reason, or you may
go to a place you’ve always wanted to visit but couldn’t. Mercury retrograde here
is very powerful for spiritual journey and for understanding something that was
tricky and impossible to understand before.
On the 27th of August, Mars moves into Libra and activates your highest position
in the chart—your tenth house of career, profession, reputation, vocation,
contribution, success, public image, public standing, role in the world, and own
authority. Mars here can bring you some leader roles, and you may experience a
role of a leadership now in some way. Others will look up to you now for
something. Beware of conflicts with authority figures, as these are possible now.
You may get in some kind of fight with your father, and Mars here can bring up
anger and rage related to your father, authority figures, superiors, or other father
figures in your life, regardless of their gender. This energy will be felt more in
September, but these last couple of days of the month can also bring up some of
these things. This is perfect transit for putting more energy and action into your
career, for being proactive when it comes to your success and reputation, for
pushing things forward, for being successful, for standing up for yourself in the
external world, and for gaining recognition that you know you deserve.
On the last day of August, there’s the second Full Moon that happens this month.
This one happens in the sign of Pisces, resonating with your ruler Saturn and
shining a light in your third house of siblings, relatives, neighbors, local
communities, people from your close surroundings, knowledge, skills,
communications, thought patterns, ideas, opinions, and connections. This is a
house of driving, moving, going on short trips, and being socially active. This Full
Moon brings deeper insights into your everyday connections and
communications, and it has something profound to teach you. This energy brings
strong imagination and intuition, and you will be able to create magic with your
spoken or written words. If you’re a writer, this energy can bring tremendous
success through writing. This is also a very creative and powerful time for
marketing, broadcasting, teaching, learning, sharing your knowledge and skills,
transferring your knowledge, spreading your word with the world, and connecting
with people in a very healing and intuitive way. You can experience healing
conversations, healing words, healing intuitive connections, and a sense of unity
and oneness through your everyday connections with people and through your
intuitive cognitions, intuitive learnings, and intuitive knowledge.
In this card, there is a young person holding a golden cup, wearing a pink and
blue tunic with water lilies. These symbols and colors represent spirituality and
purity. This person has a pure heart, pure intentions, and pure emotions. There is
a fish that is coming out of a golden cup, and they’re looking at each other. This
represents unexpected news, unexpected messages, unexpected situations, and
unexpected emotions, but most of all, the fish represents spirituality, and it
indicates that this will be a spiritual journey for you; this will be something that
enriches your inner world. The element of Water is very strong in this card.
Behind this young person, there are oceanic waves, and the fish is in the cup.
The young person wears a blue beret on their head, and this blue color
resonates with blue waves in the background. Water represents emotions,
intuition, creativity, hidden knowledge, the female principle, spirituality, and the
inner world. This card represents a messenger who brings good news. Since this
card represents the child within you, it also means that there’s a greater need to
be more playful, to have fun, to be entertained, and to enjoy, and this card tells
you to bring more fun into your life. This is a card of great creativity, so you can
expect enhanced creative possibilities. Your gifts and talents may become more
visible and notable.
This card represents new adventures, and it asks you to embrace new things in
life even though they may come in unexpected ways and you may not know all
about them. This is about exploring your soul and experiencing magic and
spirituality. Don’t take things too seriously during this time—explore things in a
lighthearted way. You need lightness of spirit and heart on this journey. Curiosity
is welcomed, as well as readiness for an adventure. Of course, there are
challenging times, as in every journey, but this card says that you should keep
your heart and your spirit light. This card also represents the inner child, so this
card could also mean that you may face some of your inner child issues and
childhood wounds, which is good because this means that you’re ready for it. You
now have a different approach to those things, and you don’t feel the same about
your childhood wounds. You have a different perspective, and you can resolve
these things now with a fresh perspective and with lightness in your heart. This
card can also bring you a message from far away. This card represents a
person—a funny, creative, and artistic person, as well as unpredictable. This is a
positive card, one that reminds you to be open-minded and open-hearted, to
follow your intuition and your heart, and to expect new solutions and new
beginnings.
In order to channel the energy of Venus retrograde this month in the most
majestic, constructive, empowering, and enlightening way, you are asked to get
to the bottom of something that’s been eating you for quite some time, to not be
afraid of deep cleansing and healing, to not be afraid of facing your shadow, and
to do your best to beautify and harmonize your inner state of being. Bring more
beauty into your inner world, nurture your inner self, nurture the child within you,
sing to your inner world, and let your inner self know that you’re aware of it. Do
things that make you feel good about yourself. Do things that feed your heart and
your soul. Dance with yourself, dance with your shadows, and observe your
physical shadow—play with it and speak to it. Dance away your traumas and
pains, and dance away toxic patterns and programs that run your show. Do
things that make you feel alive in a healthy and uplifting way, and also do things
that take you into the inner world where you can get to know yourself a bit closer.
Become more intimate with yourself. Spend more time with yourself, investigate
yourself, ask yourself deep questions, have an interview with your inner self, and
prepare yourself for this interview. Observe yourself in this interview, and observe
your inner self. See how you feel. Are you uncomfortable with yourself? Are you
ashamed of certain things? What makes you ashamed of certain things? What is
creating an emotional disbalance in you? What are you missing? Ask your inner
self questions, and make that interview be as long as you want it to be. Make an
interview with your inner self every day. You can do this while you’re taking a
walk, or while you’re at home with yourself. But make it official. Give some credit
to that interview, really prepare for it, and see where this takes you. Feel your
feelings, and discern all emotions that are present within you at the certain
moment. Then, try to consciously feel each emotion that is present—each
emotion that you notice that is active in you. Select an emotion, one by one, and
make a conscious decision to feel each emotion. Don’t suppress, neglect, ignore,
shut down yourself, shut down your emotions, shut down your feelings, or shut
down your abilities and creativity. When you shut down your emotions and
feelings, you actually shut down your creative processes and potential. Smile and
do things from the heart. Every day, do something that uplifts you and brings joy
in your heart. Do small acts of kindness that cultivate humility and forgiveness,
and don’t be afraid of what comes up in the process of detoxification.
- Think about significant experiences and events from your life. Choose one
important event from your life. It doesn’t matter if it’s negative or positive for you,
just pick the one that you feel the most right now. Write it down as a story. Tell the
whole experience, write it down, and then go through this story and see which
words and phrases really stick out to you. Pick up the most meaningful words
that catch your eye from this whole story. You can have as many words as you
want, and write down these words as a list. Now, next to it, write down how each
of these words make you feel. Don’t think about the event anymore. Just see
these words that you chose from your story, and just write down what you feel
about these words, when you see them, hear them, and read them. These
feelings of words will tell you more about this situation, this event, and this
experience. They will reveal to you a lot about what this really means to you and
how it makes you feel. Expect to receive new insights and answers.
- Sit down in a comfortable position, relax your whole body, and feel each part of
your body relaxed. Count slowly from 10 to 1, and as you are closer to number 1,
feel your body as a shiny white dot in dark space. You are shrinking your whole
body to just one dot while you’re counting backwards from 10 to 1, and when you
say ONE, you are a dot. Now, imagine that you’re drawing the shape of a star.
You’re moving as a dot, and your movement draws a star. Feel your movement.
As you move, you create a line—a shiny glittering thick white line in the dark. You
stretch yourself, you stretch the dot, and you create a line. Then, you create
another line and another line until you draw a star. Create this star and feel
yourself in this shape now. Stay like that for some time, and feel your stretched
body as it transforms from a dot to a star. Then, do the reverse process. Come
back into a dot, and when you feel that you’re a dot, start counting from 1 to 10.
While you’re counting to 10, you’re becoming yourself again. By the time you
reach number 10, you feel yourself totally back into your body, in the same
position and shape as when you started this exercise. Stay with your eyes closed
for another two to three minutes, and then slowly open your eyes. This is a
fantastic exercise for subconscious healing and clearing, for releasing stress and
anxiety, for connecting with lost parts of you, and for connecting with your
essential self. Enjoy the ride.
- Imagine that you’re walking through hills and mountains on a very beautiful day.
The weather is perfect, not too cold nor warm, rather, it is just as it should be.
You feel super easy, extremely comfortable, and very relaxed; your body is totally
light, and you feel like flying. You hear all kinds of different sounds of birds,
animals, and the wind. You feel all kinds of smells—grass, soil, and air. You enjoy
the scenery, you enjoy your body, and you enjoy your surroundings. You’re just
walking, and suddenly, you hear the sound of water, you walk towards that
sound, you hear the sound of a waterfall, and you feel drawn to it. You walk
through some kind of passage, through some bush, trees, and leaves, and you
enter this beautiful place with several waterfalls and water underneath those
waterfalls that are crystal clear. You walk towards that water and waterfalls. You
take off your clothes and jump into that water, which has the perfect temperature.
You feel reborn. You feel like everything that ever worried you, angered you, and
broke you, is washed away and gone. It is only you, crystal clear water,
waterfalls, sky, trees, grass, and birds. You are reborn. You are well. You are
calm. You are at peace. You enjoy, and you are.
- Sit down in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and hear your breathing.
Make sure that you’re doing this in a quiet space. You can do it in your room, turn
off all sounds, make sure you feel comfortable, and just listen to your breathing.
Hear your heartbeat, feel your breathing, and feel your lungs and your belly
moving as you inhale and exhale. Now, as you inhale, imagine bright yellowish
light entering through your nostrils. Feel this light as two streams of water, thick
and dense water waves, then see and feel them being inhaled through your
nostrils. Feel your body filled with this empowering light, and as you exhale, feel
this light filling up your body with it. First, fill your feet with this light, and each
time you inhale and exhale, you fill it up a little bit more. Do this until you fill up
your whole body with this light, until you reach the top of your head, and then
stay like that for some time. Feel your whole body being filled with this light. Feel
it, absorb it, embrace it, integrate it, and keep it inside. Whenever you feel ready,
open your eyes and continue doing your regular things with this light enlightening
your whole body.
- Go somewhere where you haven’t been before. Visit a totally new place, a
brand new place, which can be right next to your place; it doesn’t have to be
anywhere far and wide, although it can be, but just make sure it’s a new place for
you. Feel new experiences, and receive new impressions. Give your eyes, your
soul, and yourself new experiences and new sensations. Do something new, do
something you’ve never done before, try something new, learn something new,
say something new, and feel something new. Feed your mind, body, and soul
with new impressions and enjoy.
- Find a place where you feel calm, where you feel at peace, where you feel like
you belong, and where you feel taken care of. This can be in your home,
somewhere outside, some special place you already have, or a totally brand new
place for you. You choose it, but make sure it makes you feel safe, secure,
relaxed, and comfortable. Make sure you spend just half an hour in this place,
every day. Make sure you have half an hour daily for this kind of relaxation. Don’t
do anything while you’re in that place. Don’t use your phone, don’t look at your
phone, don’t look at any device, and don’t do any kind of activity. Just be there,
just breathe there, and just relax yourself there. Forget about everything and
everyone. Forget about the whole world and life during those thirty minutes.
Forget about yourself too. Forget about every possible obligation that you have,
about everything that you have to do, and about all that you have—home, family,
friends, partners, pets, or whatever. Forget it all, and just be there. Just be.
- Each morning, when you wake up, make sure that you smile at yourself. Give
yourself a nice big smile and get up, and don’t stay in bed for too long. Stay for a
couple of moments with your eyes closed in order to try to remember any dream.
and when you open your eyes, get up, open your windows, and let the light come
in even if it’s raining. Let the light and the air come in. Look out the window, wish
everyone a good morning, smile at the whole world in front of you, and feel the
newness of the day. This is a day that you never lived before, so make sure you
make it count, make it special, do something beautiful with yourself, make
yourself feel good, make someone else feel good, and enjoy your day.
- Dare to challenge yourself everyday in something. Write down things that are
challenging for you, and every day, pick one thing to accept the challenge. These
don’t have to be any big challenges, rather, these can be just simple things that
you find challenging for yourself. Write down these challenging things. As soon
as you start, you will notice how many of them there are. Start doing them, one
by one, and cross each challenge off the list when you dare to challenge yourself.
Enjoy and have fun.
- How do I feel about the Universe, and myself as a part of it? Do I feel myself as
a part of the Universe, and do I feel the Universe as a part of myself?
- Do I feel life as a battle, a blessing, or do I feel life just the way it is? But what
does this "just the way it is" mean to me if that is the answer? How do I perceive
life? What is my perception of life telling me about myself?
- Do I compete and fight with life, or do I know when to surrender and have trust
in life? How would I name my relationship with life?
- How often do I do things that my ego doesn't want to do, that I am perhaps too
lazy to do, or that I lack the will to do? When was the last time I did something,
despite the fact that I didn't want to do it, recognizing that it was something good
for me?
- Do I know how to make myself feel good? Do I have the power to shift my focus
and to change my perception in a way that is uplifting and empowering, instead
of drowning myself in negative beliefs and worst case scenarios?
AQUARIUS
The month begins on the 1st of August with the first Full Moon of the month, and
this first Full Moon is opening the curtains of August by shining a light and putting
more focus on you—your wants and needs, your path, your behavior, your
identity and individuality, your character, your physical appearance, your image,
and your style. This is the Full Moon in your sign, and this is halfway to your
Birthday season. It’s the perfect time to see where you are right now, where
you’ve been, where you’re going next, what you’ve been through in the last six
months, what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve done, where you want to be,
and how you want to improve in the next six months. You will be reflecting and
reviewing your life a lot. This Full Moon will show you something that needs to be
changed in your personal life and that needs to be improved in the way you
behave, in the way you look, and in the way you are. You may have to take a
look at something that you would rather avoid about yourself, but you have to
confront some things about yourself so that you can shine fully and freely.
On the same day of this Full Moon in your sign, there’s a supportive and friendly
trine aspect happening between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Mars is in
Virgo in your eighth house of transformation, rebirth, secrets, hidden things,
shared resources, joint finances, taxes, inheritances, shared life, intimacy,
healing, and detoxing. Mars is here until the 27th of August, and it will make
three supportive aspects with planets in Earth signs. This can bring you concrete
manifestations and things that are solid, stable, grounding, reliable, practical, and
efficient. Mars makes its first trine with Jupiter in your fellow Fixed sign Taurus, in
your fourth house of home and family. This can bring you some good news and
expansion related to your home, family, shared values, shared money, and
emotional stability. You can expect positive changes and good energy with your
home situation and your family members. You can also expect a great sense of
abundance through your inner work, deep investigation, and confrontation with
your own toxic emotional patterns. On the 16th of August, Mars makes a second
trine, and this time, it is with your ruler Uranus in Taurus. This can bring
unexpected positive changes in your home and family. You can expect beneficial
surprises and things that happen out of nowhere that are actually very positive
and supportive when it comes to your money, your family money, your family
situation, and your relationship with your mother. These are sudden and
unexpected things that may at first be uncomfortable, but that will turn out to be
very positive and friendly. On the 24th of August, Mars makes third and final
Earth trine. This time it happens with Pluto, the lord of the underworld, the lord of
transformation, and this happens in the sign of Capricorn, in your twelfth house of
spiritual insights, transcendence, relaxation, retreat, meditation, contemplation,
withdrawal, and having time on your own. You can expect transformations that
are very good for you and for your mental and emotional health. Expect deep
subconscious transformations that can bring you healing and a positive shift of
your mental and emotional focus. You may feel blessed in some way, and this
energy can bring you a sense of inner peace through inner work and
confrontation with subconscious fears.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of the month, there are more positive and friendly
aspects going on, and this will bring you positive social connections and healing
of your relationships. On the 12th of the month, the Sun in your opposite sign Leo
makes a trine aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in Aries, in your third house
of social connections, relatives, siblings, neighbors, and people from your local
community. This can trigger beautiful healing between you and others. You will
be able to learn something you thought you would never be able to learn, and
you will be able to say something you thought you would never be able to say.
On the 13th of August, the Sun and Venus retrograde come together in your
opposite fiery sign Leo and bring beautiful and loving energy in your one-on-one
relationships—in your social, intimate, and business partnerships, and you can
expect reconnections, reconciliations, completions, and resolutions with people
from your past. You may experience something beautiful with others that will
remind you of the true values and qualities of your relationships with certain
people. On the 14th of August, Venus retrograde makes a supportive and friendly
aspect with the wounded healer Chiron, and this can bring more kindness, love,
understanding, beauty, gentleness, and harmony in your relationships with
people, in your communications, and in your everyday connections.
On the 10th of August, Mercury makes a beneficial and positive trine aspect with
Jupiter in Taurus, and this can bring you deep healing conversations with family
members or with those who feel like a family. You may also talk about your family
in a way that is comfortable and easy, or you may learn and discover some things
that will bring more meaning and value to your home and family world.
On the 16th of August, there’s a New Moon in your opposite sign of Leo,
resonating with Venus retrograde and with the Sun in your seventh house of
relationships dynamics, of you and I kind of energy, of your one-on-one
relationships, and of marriage, union, commitments, collaborations, and
cooperations. Expect new beginnings in these areas of your life—new chapters,
new cycles, and new opportunities and possibilities within your relationships with
others. But, these new beginnings and new cycles may be related to your past
since Venus retrograde is also here. This can mean that you will be able to renew
and refresh your old relationships in some way; you will be able to see old issues
in relationships in a new way; and you will receive new insights about your past
relationships. You will also be able to reconnect with someone you already know
in a new and uplifting way. This is something joyful, cheerful, and enjoyable, even
though it may be a bit dramatic because of Leo energy. This New Moon,
however, is very positive and energizing for you, and you can expect new
relationships, new meetings, new love relationships, and new friendships. These
relationships will have the power to trigger the child within you and to unlock your
creative potential.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun joins Mars and Mercury in Virgo in your eighth
house of death, rebirth, transformation, unconscious desires, unconscious
attachments, secrets, things that are hidden and invisible, taboo themes, things
that are perhaps a bit scary, inner world, shadow, but also shared finances,
resources, taxes, passive incomes, inheritances, loans, and credits. Mercury
goes retrograde on the same day when the Sun enters Virgo, and Mercury will be
retrograde until the 14th of September. You will be re-evaluating, reassessing,
reconsidering, reviewing, and rethinking your intimate relationships, your inner
world, your secrets, your finances, your psyche, your emotional processes, and
your hidden and suppressed feelings and emotions. You may have a deep and
strong need to investigate your inner processes, to learn more about the things
that can help you understand the hidden nature of reality, and to learn and study
psychology, parapsychology, astrology, esoteric, metaphysical teachings, occult
teachings, secret teachings, and teachings that can truly help you understand
yourself and others better—things that can unlock some mysteries and that can
give you an access to your interior realms. This is also a time for you to resolve
some financial issues, especially if you have some debts, loans, or credits. You
will be able to finish the unfinished business in these areas of your life and to see
how you can make things work this time.
On the 27th of August, Mars moves into your fellow Air sign Libra, activating your
ninth house of long distance travels, international connections, international
business, foreigners, studying, learning, teaching, exploring the world, going on
an adventure, expanding your experiences, stretching your perception, being on
a spiritual journey, seeing the bigger picture, upgrading your knowledge, and
changing your beliefs for the better. Mars is very proactive here, and you will be
putting a lot of energy and action into your knowledge, into your travels, into your
international connections, into your spiritual pursuits and practices, and into
expanding your world and your life. You will be fighting for justice, perhaps while
Mars is here in Libra, and you will be able to stand up for something—for your
beliefs, spiritual insights, ideals, and opinions. Just don’t be too fanatic about it,
and don’t rush into conflicts with others because they think differently. This will be
felt more in the next month, but you will still feel this energy during the last couple
of days of August.
The month ends with the second Full Moon in the month that happens on the
31st of August, in the last sign of the Zodiac. This Full Moon in Pisces brings
potential healing of your financial situation, healing of your relationship with
money, and culmination of things related to your gifts, talents, abilities, capacities,
and livelihood. This Full Moon is here to reveal to you more possibilities and
opportunities for earning money, for expressing your creative and artistic
potential, and for making your dreams come true. Pisces are dreams while the
second house is an Earth house that can bring concrete and tangible things. So,
you can expect manifestations of things you’ve been dreaming of, and you can
also expect more focus on your self-worth and self-love that will be triggered
through subconscious images, thoughts, fears, and anxieties. Your relationship
with money may be transcended in some way, and you will be able to see where
you have trouble with low self-esteem and how you can empower yourself. There
are infinite possibilities, and you will become more aware of them and their
potential now. You are starting to recognize those infinite potentials within
yourself. Some of you may truly understand and feel that the source is also within
you, and that it’s up to you how you are going to use that source and resource.

security. Don’t forget to be grateful for what you already have and to strive for the

The Moon is one of the most influential planets in Astrology. Together with the
Sun, it forms unity. The Sun and the Moon are two eyes, two lights, silver and
gold, honey and milk, feminine and masculine, plus and minus. They are two
energies that keep things in balance. They rule the night and the day. The Moon
is all about maternal instincts; it is about emotions and different phases. It rules
our moods and the shifts of our mind and heart. The Moon represents our need
for security and stability. It rules our comfort zone, the things we’re used to. It is
our nest and our relationship with our mother, but also with Mother Nature, inner
Goddess, and inner Mother regardless of our gender. The Moon represents
nurturing, caring, and nourishing energy, and it is also associated with the mind
and the fluctuations of the mind. The Moon can make us overly emotional,
reactive, easily provoked, and irritated; it can also make us compassionate, kind,
gentle, and friendly. It is always a reminder that we have to work with our
emotions and channel them in the right way. The Moon represents people as well
and their influence on us as individuals. It rules our daily life and daily habits, and
it connects our brain and our belly, our mind and our heart, our nerves and our
cells. It governs the rhythm of the body and our routines and habits. The Moon
quickly changes its phases. It moves from waning to waxing phase, and it affects
the fluids and the water in our body; water symbolically always represents
emotions, so these are emotional fluctuations, too. The Moon is also related to
receptive energy, the feminine principle, instincts and intuition, rhythms and
cycles. The Moon rules our digestive system and our eating patterns related to
our emotions. The Moon rules our reactions, the way we react, our
unconsciousness and unconscious patterns, our relationship with the mother, our
past, our past lives, our growing up, and our subconscious habits. It rules our
memories and our feelings that are packed with those memories. The Moon also
has a lot to do with our soul food, what feeds our soul. The Moon has always
been related to dreams, beauty, and imagination, and it also rules fertility and
pregnancy. The Moon represents our home, our family, our roots, and our
ancestors, and it also rules our own space and our need for security.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon in the most uplifting, constructive,
empowering, illuminating, and enlightening way, you are invited to pay close
attention to yourself and your one-on-one relationships with people. You are
asked to pay attention to what you’re doing, how you’re doing, how you’re
behaving towards others, how you’re behaving towards yourself, what your
motivations, inspirations, and intentions are, how you’re walking through life, and
how you’re expressing yourself. What is unique about you? What is original and
authentic about you? How well do you know yourself? Do you know what you
want? What are your dreams and wishes? What are you dreaming of, what are
you aspiring for, and what are these things telling you about yourself? How do
you look, and what is your image and your style telling you about yourself? Is
your physical appearance aligned with who you are? Express yourself during this
time in an authentic and unique way, and avoid doing things just for the sake of
being different and eccentric. Do things from the heart. Question yourself.
Question your wants, needs, deeds, intentions, dreams, and relationships, and
see how this makes you feel. Feel yourself. How do you feel about yourself? Feel
others. How do you feel about others? What kind of feelings do you get in your
body when you tap into your feelings? Feel yourself and others, and let these
feelings teach you about yourself and your relationships. Do something uplifting
and cheerful in your relationships, celebrate your relationships, make sure you
bring warmth, kindness, and generosity in your relationships, and make sure you
emanate that energy from the inside. Imagine your heart as sunshine, and feel
the warm and gentle rays touching each soul you interact with. Feel that center
within you, and feel the sunshine in the center of your being. Don’t forget that you
have this sunshine in your heart. Feel your heart as the sunshine, and walk
through life with this feeling and knowing. Shine your light and emanate the
energy of the Sun through all your actions, gestures, words, and expressions.
When you have the sunshine in your heart, your Moon is also aligned with it,
bringing these two principles in balance within yourself. Connect with the Moon,
and do your research about the Moon’s archetype in astrology. Dig deeper, and
see what the Moon represents and how it affects us as human beings. Do your
research about the Full Moon in the first house in your sign and about the New
Moon in the seventh house in Leo, and see what you can learn from it, how you
can connect it with yourself, and how you can use that knowledge in a wise way
and in a way that serves you, your higher self, and others.
Healing tips for Aquarius in August
- Imagine yourself at the top of the highest mountain. Imagine it so high that the
whole world beneath you seems so far away that you can barely see it. Feel the
atmosphere of this place. Feel the wind, the air, the ground under your feet, the
height, and the sky above you. The clouds seem so close from there. Come
close to the edge of this mountaintop, reach the very edge of it, and lean forward.
Don’t worry, you won’t fall. This is your imagination, and you can imagine
anything you want. Feel your body totally in alignment with the edge. You are
now hanging from the edge, but you cannot fall. You are facing the view
underneath you. Now turn around, turn your back to the view underneath you,
and face the view above you. Now, detach from the edge of the mountain, start
floating through the space, and feel pulled above by the clouds. Jump on one
cloud and start flying. Use this cloud as your vessel through the atmosphere. You
can go in any direction you want. You can go down and see what’s under the
mountain, you can move above the mountain, you can slide, you can jump from
one cloud to the next, and you can do whatever you want. Enjoy your ride. Feel
the whole journey, and feel your body doing all these things. Practice this
whenever you want, as many times during the day.
- Feel yourself as water in a bottle. Fill your bottle with water, and while you’re
doing this, imagine yourself as this water that is being poured into the bottle.
Don’t fill it fully. Let it be half full, and then observe this water in the bottle and feel
yourself as this water in the bottle. Take the bottle and start turning it slowly. See
how this water starts moving inside the bottle, and see how it changes its shape
and how it aligns with the movement. Slowly move the bottle from vertical to
horizontal position, and feel the whole movement just as if you are this very water
in the bottle. Feel the whole procedure—really step into this feeling, and try to
bring it to life. This exercise gives you great ability to feel your subtle body, to
awaken your subtle senses, to connect with your inner self on a deeper level, to
improve your connection with your body and senses, and to become more
conscious of all the feelings that you’re going through.
- If you’re going through some uncomfortable feelings during the day, don’t try to
avoid them, push them away, mask them, ignore them, suppress them, or distract
yourself away from them in any way. Also, don’t go to the opposite extreme
where you become obsessed by it. Don’t let it occupy your mind too much, but let
it be there, let it express itself, and let it pass through the whole of you—your
body, your mind, and your emotions. Let it be filtered naturally. Don’t fight it in any
way or try anything; just let it be there, and welcome it. Behave towards these
feelings as if they’re your guests. Not too much attached nor detached. You know
how to behave towards guests. You cannot ignore them and let them be there on
their own. You have to be polite and spend some time with them. You cannot
throw them out of your house either. Remember, they’re guests. They won’t stay
in your home forever, and they will leave when they’re treated properly.
Experiment, exercise, explore, and practice.
- If you get into any kind of conflict with someone, if you feel provoked, if you feel
like you have to answer in a proper way, if you feel like you have to quarrel, or if
you feel mistreated or misunderstood, just say: "You are right." But, don’t do it in
a passive aggressive nor in an angry way, rather, say it calmly, sincerely, steadily,
and normally: "You are right." Watch how confused the other person becomes, or
just watch how they react. You will feel a lot easier without a need to explain, to
justify, or to make things right. Just try and practice this whenever there is a
chance. It might be hard at the beginning, but you will immediately feel the
benefits of it. Just let it go and say “You are right” without any hidden intention to
hurt or belittle the other person. Really feel this, and say it normally. Of course,
this doesn’t mean that the other person is right. This will just save you—your
energy, your health, your mind, your body, and your emotions. Ask yourself, do
you want to be at peace or do you want to be right?
- Visit the local library or the book store, and walk through it. Walk through this
place, smell the place, feel how many different people wrote all these pages, feel
how each of these books have been written, and feel how all these stories,
knowledge, and information came from somewhere and was brought and packed
into these things called books. Connect with the books and the whole energy of
this place. Let your intuition guide you. Take a couple of books, and see how they
make you feel. See which book attracts you. Open it, smell it, take a little peek
inside of it, and choose the book for yourself to read. See what this book has to
tell you, how it resonates with you, and what answers it has for you.
- Each night before sleeping, wish yourself a good night and ask your higher self
to guide you through your dreams. Ask cosmical forces to protect you, guide you,
and show you the way. Think about your ancestors too. Be thankful to them for all
the resources that you have to use, for all the karma, for your family, for your
friends, for your abilities and capacities, for everything that they went through,
and for their lives, sacrifices, and journeys. Be thankful, not only to your blood
ancestors, but to ancestors who are guides—ancestors who kept the wisdom and
knowledge, so that you can discover it one day. Be thankful to those ancestors
who are spiritual guides and masters. Before you go to sleep, feel forgiveness in
your heart for everything that you’re going through or that you went through.
Wish a mental goodnight to everyone who is already asleep or who is going to
sleep.
- Is there something in my life right now that is suffocating me, draining me, or
exhausting me? How do I feel about those things? How do I process and digest
those things? What do I do about it?
- What kind of life would I choose if I could choose anything I want? What kind of
life theme would I choose? What does this tell me about myself?
PISCES
The month begins on the 1st of August with the Full Moon in Aquarius, shining a
light in your hidden twelfth house and illuminating your subconscious realms,
dreams, intuition, need to relax, rest, withdraw, retreat, meditate, contemplate, be
on your own, and have some quality time for yourself. This Full Moon brings
culminations on your inner journey and your spiritual path. This is a time for deep
inner healing, for deep reflections, and for becoming more aware of what is going
on beneath the surface. You are delving deeper into the invisible realms, and you
may receive guiding messages through your dreams now. Things you’ve been
working on behind the scenes may start coming to light. Things that are hidden
and invisible are becoming known and visible. Something is resurfacing from the
deep oceans of your being, and you may be confronting your subconscious fears
and anxieties. You may finally see and acknowledge that you have a certain
addiction issue with something, and you will be working on resolving it. This is a
time for spending time on your own, being quiet, being in solitude, and being at
peace with yourself, or at least practicing inner peace and meditation and
working on releasing suppressed anger and fears.
On the same day of this Full Moon, there’s a harmonious trine aspect happening
between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus. Mars will be making three trine
aspects this month, and these are Earth trines, which means that you can expect
materialization of things—manifestation, embodiment, and stability. Mars is in
your opposite sign Virgo, in your seventh house of one-on-one relationships,
commitments, collaborations, social, intimate, and business partnerships,
marriage, unions, divorce, and separations. Mars is here until the 27th of month,
and you will be feeling this strong initiative to do things with others, to get
together, and to be proactive in your relationships. Mars makes a supportive trine
aspect with the planet of abundance and wisdom in your third house of everyday
connections and communications, social interactions, social media, siblings,
relatives, neighbors, people from your local community, words, expressions,
knowledge, learning, and teaching. You can expect supportive and abundant
connections and conversations with people during this time. Something very
beneficial and positive is happening in your social world, and you can expect
amazing opportunities through your everyday connections. You may be signing
some contracts during this time, or you may have very meaningful conversations
and meetings with others. On the 16th of August, Mars makes another trine
aspect, and this time with Uranus also in Taurus in your third house of ideas,
thoughts, opinions, words, skills, devices, and vehicles. Something unexpectedly
positive can happen now with your relationships—something you couldn’t see
coming, or something surprising that brings you sudden and unexpected brilliant
ideas that you can bring to life. On the 24th of August, there's a third trine aspect
between Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. This also affects your social
spheres and social interactions. This month, you have earth support in your
social houses—third, seventh, and eleventh. These are all social placements,
and you can truly expect amazing transformations in your group activities,
friendships, communities, and people you collaborate and work with. Expect
positive, desired, and wanted changes with your friends and associates.
On the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, there are more supportive energies that
are happening for you related to your health, work, physical well-being,
self-worth, self-esteem, finances, and money. On the 12th of August, the Sun in
Leo makes a supportive trine aspect with the wounded healer Chiron in Aries.
The Sun is together with retrograde Venus in Leo, and they make exact
conjunction on the 13th of August. On the 14th, Venus makes trine aspect with
Chiron too. This energy can trigger harmonious healing, and you will be inspired
to work on self-improvement and self-betterment in many ways. Your everyday
life changes for the better, and you will have an opportunity to make your daily
life much more pleasurable and enjoyable. You are transforming your habits and
routines, turning them into something truly valuable, meaningful, and exciting.
Venus is retrograde in your sixth house of daily work, daily habits, daily routines,
schedules, tasks, obligations, duties, responsibilities, service to others, health,
and well-being. Something from your past may become active again when it
comes to your work and health. Things you used to do before, habits and
routines from the past, may resurrect now in a joyful and entertaining way.
On the 16th of August, there's a New Moon happening here next to Venus
retrograde and the Sun in Leo in your sixth house. This is a new beginning for
you—new work, new job opportunities, new workplace, new habits and routines,
new way of nurturing yourself, new responsibilities, new diet regime, and new
exercise regime. You are renewing and refreshing your life, working towards
bringing in more qualities and more things that are truly meaningful and that are
your true priorities. This may not be a regular New Moon because Venus is here,
and she’s retrograde, so you may actually experience new beginnings through
things from the past. Things you used to enjoy and love before may become
more available and accessible for you now. You will be able to enjoy some things
you couldn’t enjoy before. You will also be able to do some things you’ve always
wanted, but you may not be so crazy about them now. You will have an amazing
opportunity to really work on your self-improvement and self-development, and to
make your every day count.
On the 22nd of August, there’s one short tricky aspect happening between Mars
in your opposite sign Virgo, in your seventh house of relationships and Saturn in
your sign, in your first house of individuality, identity, personality, behavior, vitality,
physical appearance, physical body, and head. This energy can make you a bit
confused and bring a little bit of brain fog. You may not see yourself clearly, and
you may not see others clearly. You may have strong projections, and things may
not be as they seem to you. This is a short aspect, and it will pass quickly. Just
be careful around this time because you may be confronted with some of your
illusions and self-deceptions in your relationships and in your perception of
yourself.
On the 23rd of August, the Sun joins Mars and Mercury in your opposite sign
Virgo and highlights your seventh house of relationships. On the same day,
Mercury goes retrograde, also in your relationship sector, and it will be retrograde
until the 14th of September. This is a time for reviewing, reassessing, rethinking,
re-evaluating, and reconstructing your one-on-one relationships, role in
relationships, attitude towards others, marriage, spouse, business partner, friend,
and anyone with whom you have one-on-one relationship. You may experience
some misunderstandings and misinterpretations with others during this time, and
you should be very aware of the words you say now. Make sure you are clear in
your conversations. If you think that the other person may have heard you
differently, don’t hesitate to repeat what you said and explain it in detail so that
there are no confusions and unnecessary conflicts between you and someone.
This is a great time for reconnecting with people from your past, for having
conversations that you’ve been delaying with others, for finishing the unfinished
business with people, for resolving things with others, for reconciliation, for
resolution, and for forgiveness in your relationships. You will have a second
chance with someone to make things right, to correct something if you’ve
wronged someone, or to accept an apology from someone. This is great energy
for putting more light into your relationships and for being able to express
yourself—your wants and needs in your relationships. If you’ve been putting up
with something for a long time and if you cannot tolerate it anymore, you will now
have the needed courage and decisiveness to say No to someone. You won’t
apologize anymore for being who you are in a certain relationship, and you won’t
be sacrificing your time, space, and energy because of fear of being rejected or
misunderstood. You learn to stand up for yourself and to honor your time and
space.
On the 27th of August, Mars moves into Libra and activates your eighth house of
death, rebirth, transformation, alchemy, metamorphosis, change, sexuality,
intimacy, secrets, deep inner processes, shadow work, shared resources, joint
finances, intimate and business partnerships, taxes, loans, inheritances,
insurances, investments, and partner’s money or somebody else’s money. This
will be felt more in September, but you will also get this energy the last couple
days of the month. You will start putting more energy and action into your
intimate relationships, into deepening your relationship, into deepening your
relationship with yourself, and into investigating your inner processes, shadow,
fears, and traumas. You will be fearless when it comes to dealing with your
hidden and suppressed feelings and emotions. You may be investing in
something and initiating things related to shared investments and resources.
On the very last day of August, there is the second Full Moon happening this
month that happens in your sign. This Full Moon shines a light on you and
reveals something to you about you—about who you are, about your behavior,
and about your personality and temperament. There is something you need to
see, to become aware of, to release, to complete, and to let go. You are
surrendering to higher power, letting go of the need for control, dealing with your
anxieties and fears and releasing them, and confronting your inner depths. You’re
able to feel yourself as a part of a whole now. Something culminates in your
personal life. You’ll be asked to see what you truly want and need, where you
want to go, how you want your life to unfold, and what you have to improve in
your behavior, in your close personal relationships, and in your vitality. This is a
very healing Full Moon for you, and you will probably feel it very strongly. You will
be very emotional, and you may be more touchy and more easily provoked. Work
on releasing, letting go, accepting, forgiving, allowing healing to happen, and
allowing yourself to feel yourself as a whole, as a part of the cosmos, and as a
part of your higher self.
There is an open offer to you now. We see a hand holding a cup on this card, and
there are five streams flowing out of the cup. This is sparkling water, which also
represents pure emotions. This is abundance, and also the five senses. The
hand that holds the cup comes out of a cloud, which signifies spiritual support,
higher forces, and powers. This card suggests that you should listen to your
heart, your inner voice, and your intuition. You have to follow that inner voice
inside of you. You have to trust the Universe and the process. This is a new
chapter in your emotional and spiritual life, and you may feel called to embark on
this new journey. You are diving deep into something new and exciting, and you
may feel overwhelmed by it. There is definitely a love aspect present in your
life—it can happen in many different forms, but no matter which one it is, you are
falling in love with something or someone. You feel good about yourself. You feel
positive and uplifting emotions, and you are satisfied. You experience new love or
a new taste of being in love.
In order to channel the energy of the Moon this month in the most efficient,
useful, constructive, and empowering way, you are asked to process your
feelings and emotions and deal with whatever comes up now. Look at yourself
and observe your behavior, reactions, and inner reactions. Observe how you feel
during the day, as well as your emotional triggers in many different situations.
Write down your emotional triggers. Track them, hunt them, get to know them,
and get in touch with your emotional body. Look at yourself in the mirror, get lost
in that observation, and get lost in your own reflection. Ask yourself: “Who am I”?
Ask this question many times a day, every day, and feel the question. Feel the
intention behind this question. Say many times a day: “I am,” whenever you can,
wherever you are, and whatever you do. Use these two simple techniques. Ask
yourself “Who am I,” and say “I am” as many times as you want during the day.
Get in touch with water and spend more time near the water if you can or if there
is water near you somewhere. This can be a lake, river, sea, ocean, or even
artificial lake; it doesn’t matter. If you can’t be near the water, connect with water
in other ways. Bless the water that you’re drinking. Be grateful for the water that
you use for showering and washing your face and hands. Be aware of water in
your life, in your body, and on the planet. Make some powerful rituals with Water.
Let the water cleanse you and wash away all your traumas, pains, worries,
sadness, melancholies, attachments, grief, despair, anxiety, and fears. You can
do this every day whenever you get in touch with water. Ask the water to guide
you, cleanse you, heal you, and help you feel yourself. Take long night walks if
you can. Spend more time in nature, nurture yourself, nourish yourself, water
yourself, and work on self-improvement and self-betterment in every possible
way that you can. Connect with the wisdom of the Moon, and do your research
about the Moon’s archetype astrologically. See what the Moon represents and
how important it is. Then, do your research about the Full Moon in Pisces and do
your research about the Full Moon in the first house, and see how you can
connect all of that with yourself and with what you’re going through right now.
Explore yourself, feel yourself, study yourself, and give yourself access to
yourself.
- Observe yourself from somebody else’s point of view, and try to see things that
you’re not able to see otherwise. Choose a person from whose perspective
you’re going to observe yourself and put yourself in the shoes of that person
while observing yourself. See what new insights and answers you receive.
Change persons from whose perspectives you’re observing yourself in order to
gain more insights about yourself and about them as well. Play, have fun,
experiment, and learn.
- Think about things you cannot live without, and try to imagine yourself living
without those things. Describe how you feel, and describe what kind of life that is.
How different would your life would be without those things, and how differently
would you live your life in that case? Feel this life, and go through it. These things
involve people and everything else you cannot imagine your life without—your
routines, your emotions, your habits, your rituals, and things you’re strongly
attached to. Try to imagine life without these things, including people, habits, and
routines. Walk through that kind of life in yourself; imagine it in your mind and live
this life. What would you do, and how would you recreate your life if you had to
live it without all those things you cannot imagine living without?
- Find a calm place where you can be on your own, where you can be in silence,
where you can totally relax, and where you feel safe. Lie down in that place. Lie
on your back, on a mat, on a towel, or on a thin blanket, and feel your whole
body in this position. Feel your whole body from your toes to the top of your
head, and imagine your own atmosphere surrounding you. Imagine your own
atmosphere beaming, pulsating, and vibrating around you. Feel your body
pulsating as you energize and feel each part of it. Become aware of each part of
your body. Start from your toes on your right leg, and then feel each part of your
body, one by one. When you consciously scan your whole body, feel it all at
once. Scan your whole body all at once, feeling the pulsation and the
atmosphere around you, including your auric field, which is your own emanation.
Feel being taken care of by this atmosphere, and when you’re done, just inhale
this atmosphere inside of your body and stay like that for some time. Stay there
with your eyes closed, and when you’re ready, open your eyes, slowly start
moving your body, and stand up when you feel comfortable to do it.
- Get rid of the stuff that you don’t need. Declutter your home and your inner
home. Cleanse your space. Light up incense or create a smudge stick on your
own, and cleanse your space with it. Remove everything that is old, outdated,
unnecessary, and unworthy for you. Give away things that you don’t need, and let
them go. Create your own little ritual of getting rid of things you don’t need. Write
down this on a piece of paper. Write down: “I return these things to energies that
might need them. These things have served me well, but now I don’t need them
anymore and I am welcoming new things to come in place of these things. Thank
you.” Or, come up with your own ritual speech of letting go of the things you don’t
need. Enjoy the process.
- Write down blessings in your life. What do you feel blessed for in your life? If
you can't think of anything, try harder. Try to imagine life without certain things or
people, without your mind, without a roof over your head, without electricity,
without water, and without food. Count your blessings. Think deeply about what
your blessings are.
- Change your daily routines and habits. Change at least one thing in your daily
habits. Make sure you renew your habits and routines every day. Don’t allow
yourself to have two same days in a row. Change your habits as much as you
can. Every day, choose a different route while you’re walking somewhere.
Choose a different path to reach your desired destination. If you usually take a
rest during some part of the day, try to skip it and do something else instead. Do
things that renew and refresh your daily life. Taste new food, visit new places,
speak about different topics, change your schedules, and experiment with your
daily habits and routines. Bring in some freshness. Bring more life into your daily
life.
