In the first half of August, you will need to prepare yourself by checking and rechecking that you have what you need for any and every possibility of chaotic situation. In the second half of August, you will be in some type of chaotic situation. I am not clairvoyant. I am not writing this to scare or intimidate anyone. I write this to inspire everyone to prepare emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
The Gathering Clouds and Winds of Confusion: The energies at play during the New Moon with Pluto at 0 degrees Aquarius and Mercury going retrograde on August 5th prompt us to evaluate our lives for we are approaching a major turning point.
Address your insecurities and work on self-healing. Face any course corrections you need to make, and make them without shame or guilt. Check and recheck your plan, your backpack, your briefcase, your pantry to make sure you have what you need for each day. Revisit and make improvements. Sort out your clutter and detoxify getting rid of what you do not need. Secure what you do need.
The Eye of the Storm: The Lion's Gate Portal will be exact on 8/8, when the star, Sirius, Earth and Orien's Belt are aligned and visible in both hemispheres. They are even aligned with the Pyramids of Giza, where in Egyptian cosmology it is the celebration of a new year with new resolutions for the future. This cosmic portal opens and an outburst of high-frequency energy and wisdom pours out into the world. Let this be a good time to remember to connect with your spiritual guide and higher being. Try to align yourself spiritually so you are as in tuned to your intuition as you can be. You will need to follow your gut.
Thunder Claps of Tension: By mid-August, these energies are rife with friction, unexpected changes and significant shifts globally as well as personally. Mars will be ramping up Jupiter's overwhelming and expanding energy. The storm represents not only external events but also internal turmoil. It's a time to stay calm, maintain clarity, and not get swept away by emotional or situational turbulence.
The Torrential Downpour of Emotional Intensity: The Jupiter-Mars conjunction will intensify as it squares restrictive Saturn in Pisces and Venus exiled in Virgo on August 19th. On a personal level, this configuration can bring up issues related to love, self-worth, responsibilities, and ambitions, prompting us to confront and navigate these challenges.
Lightning Strikes of Sudden Change: The Full Moon in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus on August 19th is filled with sudden, unexpected events and insights. Old concepts will be challenged. We are demanding to break free of the past and patterns. Experimentation, revolution and innovation will prevail.
On a global level, these energies smack of lawlessness, social disruptions and tyrannical force... or even actual destructive natural disasters. Be prepared for plans to change and for unexpected situations to arise. Flexibility will be key to navigating this period.
On a personal level, this energy can tempt us to push too hard, resist too much, or bite off more than we can chew. It is really important to stay connected to your intuition and follow your path as it is lit by spirit, not by people pleasing tendencies or political powers that be. Try to stay in balance as much as you can... even if you find yourself having to balance energies that are not in sync with each other. Find the synergy between and stand strong.
During a storm, finding shelter is crucial. In this metaphor, shelter represents finding a safe and stable space within oneself, whether through spiritual practices, supportive relationships, or personal reflection. Focus on grounding techniques, such as meditation, breathwork, or spending time in nature, to maintain stability amidst the chaos. While change can be unsettling, it also offers opportunities for growth and new beginnings. Embrace the shifts and use them as a catalyst for positive transformation.
Prepare. Brace yourself. Connect with Spirit. Conquer the storms of chaos.
