August is an 8 month (8 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 17; 1 + 7 = 8). In an 8 month we are usually more grounded, focussed and centred. Eight is ruled by Saturn, bringing resilience, strength, and courage, helping us cope even in the toughest situations. Giving good reasoning ability, decisions that we make now are likely to have a positive influence on our lives down the track.
Number 8 is comprised of two conjoined circles. The first circle relates to our physical world, whilst the second is concerned with the spiritual. As the number of balance, the 8 energy helps adjust areas of our lives that may be out of alignment.
Even though the 8 gives us direction and helps us forge ahead, we may be so busy within our daily lives that our spiritual work could very well be taking a back seat. It could be helpful at this time to remind ourselves of the Lions Gateway opening.
I am always in awe of the mysterious workings of the Universe and find this massive portal that opened in the heavens on July 28th and is set to close on August 12th extremely intriguing. Here we have the incredible alignment of Earth, Sirius and Orion occurring within the sign of Leo, initiating a potent energy stream that moves through the stars and pours down to Earth.
During this cosmic alignment spiritual energy intensifies. If we are able to slow down and go inwards, perhaps through breathwork or meditation, our bodies will more readily absorb these high vibrational frequencies and codes of awakening whose purpose is to ignite our DNA.
We can use this opportunity to take note of the messages in our dreams and use specific intent to manifest our passions. In honouring this process, we are honouring ourselves and our commitment to being on Earth at this special time.
Periods of rest are also particularly important at the present time. Without rest, it is almost impossible to allow these strong energetic vibrations to do their work at the deepest cellular level.
Eight is the number of Karmic balance supporting karmic release. This means that we can more easily let go of any baggage we are holding onto, including resentments and limiting beliefs that no longer serve us.
As we move through this time of great transition, we are leaving old notions of identity behind. This huge planetary energy wave that we are experiencing is helping push us forward with new awareness and breadth of understanding.
May you all have a wonderful month, with lots of insightful happenings.
