August Energy
Hello August. Happy Birthday, Leo! How is your summer going? It seems to be speedy by, so it is time to slow down and evaluate what August energy brings.
I’m talking today about the spiritual symbolism that August brings with it. August is often associated with the harvest. Unfortunately, when this month arrives, it is a signal of the peak of summer but also the closing out and preparing for the harvest that was planted in the spring. This is encouragement to be aware of the abundance as a result of what has been nurtured and cared for in the past few months. Those crops are now yielding the fruits of the labor of the soil. After the crops are gathered, we prepare the land for new beginnings and growth for the upcoming months. Nutrients are added and the land rests for a time.
Using this philosophy in life instead of crops, it is said to be a time to reflect and continue the actions needed in order to receive the rewards. All while growing and embracing new thoughts and opportunities. This self-reflection brings an awareness to look deep within in order to release what no longer serves your life. I speak a lot about releasing what no longer serves us, so I thought I would break it down. What I mean is an urge to check in with your emotional well-being. It is a testing of your own energy.
Are there habits that you would like to change? Are there people in your life that seem to make you feel less than? Are you still knotted up in a past situation that needs resolved? These are just a few questions to think about when deciding what helps your vibrational day-to-day energy. This is a great time to appreciate the things in your life and becoming aware of new opportunities. What old patterns need revised in order for you to come into alignment with what you want your life to look and feel like? Asking what is good for me and what is not.
August is a strong energy month that focuses on inner wisdom and reconnecting to parts of yourself that have been ignored or overlooked. This reminder permits you to grow spiritually. Just like the harvest, it takes hard work in order to appreciate the lessons and the victories along the way. Trusting in Creator’s timing during the process. August urges us to recognize the victories. Try not to lose sight of the obstacles you’ve overcome that brought you where you are right now then celebrate your accomplishments. You’ve chosen to bring balance to your energy and self-compassion. It is part of the path of new beginnings and spiritual growth by shedding the old for the new growth to thrive. I feel I speak about growth a lot because I truly believe every day is an opportunity to learn something new. Celebrating the new thoughts and patterns of the world around us and how it stimulated our energy to want more. This “earth school” we live in prepares us for the energetic fulfillment we are all in search of achieving.
August is a time to ignite your inner fire with so much passion your entire body and spirit radiates. In the past few weeks, months, years, you have been preparing for the next phases of your journey. This is your story, every day adds a new chapter of who you have been created to become. Even though some may have taken you outside of your comfort zone, you are here, thriving.
August is National Wellness Month. Persuading you to pay attention to your well-being and self-care habits. Look at adding meditation, walking, eating better, hydrating, hiking or other things into schedule. It is also International Peace Month. Finding peace within yourself spreads outwardly to those around you. Others will notice and feel the peace you have embodied, and they will soon align with it because of you. How great would it be if for one day the world would feel peaceful everywhere? It starts with each individual searching and finding contentment and aspire to be better for others.
If you were born in August, Happy Birthday month, Leo! Your traits are you are self-motivated, enthusiastic, stubborn and strong minded. Leos find solutions to adverse situations but sometimes act impulsively. They are huge in self-critic areas. A great mantra for Leo, for anyone actually, “I embrace my imperfections.” Embrace the imperfections and relax. Make changes as they arise, release the need to fix everything even if it does not need fixing.
The full moon (the Sturgeon Moon) appears on the 9th and represents a powerful time for transformation and spiritual growth. Hello personal truth. I’m seeing the need to be a part of contributing to the greater good of the world around me. Take the invitation, contribute to your higher good and the greater good of those around you. Finding clarity to focus on a forward moving path, especially if you have been on pause for a bit. Time to take action. Identify what needs released for growth in order to make room for new adventures. Re-evaluate relationships for your own well-being as you also become accountable for how you contribute to your relationships. Reconnect to your heart center, embrace change, become mindful of your role in the community while aligning your actions to the values and intentions that encompass your being. This is not just for an individual basis but for the collective.
With August being the eighth month, numerology represents success, strong will, and karmic balance. A time to focus on finding balance between the spiritual and material worlds and taking the appropriate actions to move forward.
August is meant to be an eye-opening experience. Remember to check in with your energy, make adjustments where needed, celebrate your victories. Your crops of abundance will become apparent to you and to those around you. This is the time in your energetic chapter to pay attention to a renewed emotional depth and find your balance. This is the month to welcome in changes successfully. This is all part of living the life you love and loving the life you live.
Blessings to all,
Stacey
