August by its own nature is a time where we tend to find more balance and peacefulness in our lives. Even in nature this is a time, where a great amount of work has been done; or is just being completed. It is a time where we begin to see our efforts paying off; and where we catch our breath enough to take a look at things to see where we need to make any adjustments.
Success, recognition, abundance, influence, persuasion, and conversation are all natural aspects of this month. This does, however, bring some caution to us to avoid those fast talkers; and to watch out for some slick sales pitches. At this time, people tend to tell people what they want to hear; whether it is true or not. They lure them in like a Siren; but in the end, walk away once they have been paid for what they are selling.
Yes, there are many benefits to this month as well; but we do have to be careful to give things time, and to think them through more. This month can commonly also bring a humanitarian energy to it; but here again things are often presented, to be bigger than they actually are. This is kind of like working with a master illusionist.
This year, the energy shifts a bit; and what we find is a wisdom energy pattern, based in lessons learned in the past. We might even dare to say, that the child is growing up a bit. This will be a month where we are likely to find out whether we have really learned our lessons; or if we will repeat unfavorable choices of our past.
It will be important to keep this in mind; because this month is all about second chances and second rounds. You will need to see through the smooth talkers, to find out how true to their word they will be. We can see people from our past re-surfacing, and wanting to come back into our lives; all the time reassuring you that they have changed and learned their lessons. You will be presented with situations that you have faced in your past; however, keep in mind that this is so you will handle them with wisdom and compassion. It will take some deciphering to see if you want to provide second chances; or if your wisest choice is to say NO, and go on your own way.
During the first 2 ½ weeks we can see some rapid advancement and successes. This is natural, but it will be best if you keep on your toes for those that are not being recognized; as they could create a bit of turbulence. Handle things with Grace and Compassion; and you will validate why you are rapidly moving forward. It is important that you do not get into conflict with these naysayers.
For some, these can feel like very humbling times. There will be some that will not really want to deal with people much; and will seek out time alone and solitude in tranquil places. There are some that will not be seeing the material rewards and successes. For them, this is a time of connecting into their own power, free of distractions. It is a time of simplifying and disconnecting from the material world. This is more of a spiritual journey that is needed, in order to tune into one’s own true self.
Now those on the spiritual journey path will still see some successes; but they will come from the breakthroughs they make, and the wisdoms that they learn. This time is about gathering ideas which once implemented can be quite successful for them. Their success comes through their wisdom, instead of outside glory and human ego based channels. Those on this path will be creating a fortunate future for themselves; and not just immediate successes.
During the last 1 ½ weeks, we see a real shift into a more peaceful way of being. Everything in nature is completing its highly intense work cycle. We are in a place where we can enjoy our successes; and there are feelings of happiness and being fulfilled with the work that has been accomplished earlier in the month. There is a sense of things finally coming through, and our eyes are finally getting to see it.
This time favors true love, soul mates, and twin flame connections. It also favors most spiritual processes and paths. This is because immortal love and compassion are in the forefront. We have brought ourselves to a point where our soul is evident enough that we rise above our Earthly challenges and difficulties. There is a mindset, that we can see ourselves through anything; and will come out perfectly fine. This is a time where we set ourselves up for future blessings, by overcoming what tests us; and finding peace within ourselves.
All of this culminates, in walking a path of wisdom; and this is a path that sustains us throughout life. This is our ability to choose wisely; and to know where to give second chances and where not to. It helps us to see first-hand, what we have learned and where we still have work to do.
Our key points this month are to be patient and give things time, to see if someone is telling the truth or not. Do not cave in to fast pitches and sales talks; because they may leave you empty. Successes will come, either through physical recognition and promotion; or from a spiritual journey. Know where to give things a second chance, and where saying no to that second chance is the wisest choice. Face challenges and tests with your soul self to create blessings that sustain you in the future.
From the 1st – 13th, we are continuing to take care of what we need to for ourselves. It is a time where we are better served with solitude, than spending time in crowds. Incorporate simplicity into everything that you do. Take steps to simplify the processes and your lifestyle at this time.
It can be very easy to fall into victim spaces; as those in positions of power do not want anyone creating any waves, and are looking to keep as tight of a control on things as possible. So our time alone is on focusing how to simplify in a way that allows for freedom from those with power over us. The more we are able to simplify, the less control they will have. This in turn allows us to create our own successes in a way that places us in greater management of our own life.
From the 14th – 31st we backtrack into our mentoring and learning patterns. This favors finding someone that is working unselfishly to support your advancement. It is a great time to seek out advice from those that have already walked the path that you are on; and dealt with the challenges you are facing. It is then important to take that information and go really deep within you, to see if the steps that are required are really in resonance with your soul. If not, this will be the time to re-direct and change your course.
If we can remove the human ego to do what needs to be done, we stand to really create a strong position for ourselves in the world. A great deal of this comes when we unfold, where we are living a lie and where we are living our truth. To release those areas where we are living a lie is to create successes now and in the future.
What to focus your thoughts on
It is very important to keep your thoughts on sorting out the truth in things. There is so much information and sales pitches flying around, designed to appeal to the human ego; and it is so tempting to accept what we want to hear. However, if we do this; we place ourselves on paths of living a lie, and create disconnection from our soul self.
Yes, there could be some worldly success from this; however, it will be success that will be designed to consume us in some way. This can result in us having to sacrifice ethics, or it could place us in debt for something that is based in vanity and superficial pursuits of worldly things. Often times when we buy into the lies that are sold to us; the results end up being minimal, and it starts a vicious cycle of challenges that are never worth the price we paid.
The best way to avert these temptations this month; is to take the practical approach. Do not buy things in the moment. Step away from those that are trying to sway you in one direction or another; and make certain you make your own decisions.
Intentionally or unintentionally, others are prone to take you down an unfavorable path. Next, take the practical approach with things. Weigh out the costs with the benefits, is it something that you really need, or just a superficial way to appease your insecurities. Can you really afford the cost or effort that this will take; without placing yourself in jeopardy. When in doubt, go with the path of caution.
From the 1st – 6th we will be seeing some successes and some closure in our inner world. There is a natural happiness that radiates from things that come to an end right now; and that makes it favorable to celebrate and rejoice in the transitions that are happening. Strange twists and turns may happen that create these shifts in our lives; things that we would never have seen coming or being available to us. What is exciting is that they come from having done the work to really learn our lessons.
At this time our soul is looking for us to have a mentor, a teacher, or a guide; someone that has been down the road we are on, and can offer us assistance and guidance in how to do things. This connection is likely to be unique and different; as there may be a strong bond that, leads them to put more effort into the connection than normal. This would be equivalent to taking on an apprentice; instead of being just another student, in a group of people. If someone does this, they are seeing in you the potential for you to fill their spot; or to succeed in a way where you too will be the one mentoring.
From the 7th – 31st our soul is really needing us to allow it to be in charge. It is important that we come from our soul self as we face things that resurface in our lives; and as we face those that are not standing in their soul self. When we get thrust into bigger successes, and experience rapid advancement; it is important to not get lost in that, and the best way to avoid getting lost in it is, to stand in the soul self. We maintain our advancement; by standing in integrity and honesty, by continuing to be compassionate and humble in our ways.
If we nourish the soul, by allowing it command; we become an energy that influences many others. We also “redeem” ourselves from past choices and “karma” where we were consumed in the human ego. If we do not allow the soul self to be in command; we are likely to find ourselves pushed aside as quickly as we rose. It won’t take long before we are isolated, and doing without. This is the process of bringing us to our knees to re-establish humility. So the soul is insisting on humility; it is up to you whether that is a comfortable process or not.
