OPENING AUGUST GOLD

Astrological Energies of the month

Wisdom Body Notes August 1-12 by Samantha Cameron

What an entrance August makes this year!  Her threshold energies embrace weirdly perfect symbols of what lies in store.  We begin under a Leo New Moon of creativity, courage and joy that sets the template for coming 28 days.  But we do not step out like a lion, au contraire, we begin with the mind moving into review and re-set as Mercury stations Retrograde in Virgo, which has particularly strong effects on any planning, new ideas, conversations, travel, or questioning the fabric of life.  You may feel like roaring in lion-esque joy, but will without doubt revise the timbre, tone and timing of your roar.

With the Sun representing the identity, ego and outer life, and the Moon our emotional, subconscious, inner life, when they join to give birth each month, we have opportunity to revise and integrate inner and outer life as well as heart and head.  This month we have it in spades!  If you are hoping to manifest something new this month, let the Moon be in charge, as manifestation is charged by how we feel, besides the mind may decide to go on holiday as it tires of trying to be in charge and get anything done.  With half the planetary firmament now moving inward and backward, the invisible, the subconscious, the intuitive is far more important!  “When we don’t listen to our intuition, we abandon our souls.”  Terry Tempest Williams. Here is where the fuel of Leo’s expressive fires lie in wait.  Leo is the throne, be it queen or king.  Perhaps you wish to rethink your crown and become the power behind the throne? 

Ruling anything right now may feel contradictory and out of control.  Tread carefully as everything is shifting in any moment, and the rate of speed will feel all too fast until it unexpectedly stops to go backward; Re-think, re-align, re-design.  On the fiery, optimistic -let’s go! side of things, we have Mars, Jupiter and Uranus working together, activating the New Moon birth.  Hand in hand they create intensity and drive to expand and explore.  Counter-weight to this hopeful expansion, we have Mercury, Chiron, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto all pulled within, re-shaping our inner Universe.  Take these few days before Sunday’s New Moon/Mercury Retro event to listen to your dreams, visualize what you desire to manifest through August’s contradictory vibrations.  Set intention to acquire greater skills of patience, stillness, and listening.

Another of the underlying energies of confusion is the mix and blending we must contrive between Leo’s joyous fire and Virgo’s quiet, deliberate modesty.  With Sun and Moon in Leo’s desire of healthy ego and emotion, VS Mercury, and soon to be Venus, in Virgo’s quiet in control demeanor~ skilled weaving is required.  The strong ego needed to be queen or king will be massaged and micro-managed through details and daily steps dancing forward and back…..not what royalty is used to.  Despite the Yin and Yang bantering, Leo calls us to enjoy life, to invigorate with laughter and greater creativity. Possibilities to uplift our Leo may lie hidden in Mercury’s retrograde motion ~for when in retrograde, Mercury is closest to Earth, and therefore has greater power.  Think about the words you choose, the questions you propose.  They could have greater resonance than you think.  If you have long standing issues in relationships, this is a brilliant time to recognize what can be healed.  We have until August 28 to solve and heal the mercurial issues in our life~ at least to kick start them upward while Mercury spirals down and within.

In the coming weeks, I will elaborate on hot themes of August, but for now- mark your calendars to pay particular attention to the following dates:

Aug. 7 -Be aware of possible power struggles, particularly around the law and or beliefs.

Aug. 14 & 15-We shall have strong verbal duels, possibly diarrhea of the mouth, defending and asserting.  On the 15th we shall see some of the contested ideas blocked or held back.

Aug. 19 This is the date of August Full Moon that forms an exciting formation with Uranus~ kicking it into big surprises, chaos, and high-minded connections.
