August begins on a note of forgiveness, activated by the new moon the day before.
Each new moon contains a different energetic - like a seed full of potential awareness, personal growth, and possibility. This seed consciousness can - if carefully tended - begin to awaken and then to emerge or sprout by the full moon 2 weeks later. Of course the “weather” of the month - that is the astrological influences (and of course the choices and decisions you make in relation to them) determine whether that journey of growth and awareness will be smooth or bumpy.
In August, the seed consciousness of Leo, the King, is planted. Leo contains the soul consciousness of I AM. It can be optimistic, kind, forgiving, generous, self aware and full of benevolence or, if conflicted, arrogant, petty, greedy and self referencing.
This new moon brings out the forgiving and generous energy of Leo. This state of forgiveness is tested by the “weather” of confusion, doubt and fear combined with a desire to "act outside the box" due to the planetary influences of the month.
There is an opportunity now, to remember that spiritually, Forgiveness is one the most important “graces” given to us as a tool to develop the HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS necessary to create one’s reality on a conscious level.
It is then that you can move closer to a state of Equanimity or Inner Peace one where:
No matter what the eyes see
The ears hear
The nose smells
or
The tongue tastes
It does not disturb your inner world's stability
The beginning of this month then, is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth. Dream big, be creative and use this energy to stop attaching to situations and things that do not serve you. Now is the time to let go of fear-based thinking and to stop reacting to and holding on to, judgement and anger (the opposite of forgiveness).
On the 15th of August, the full moon gives us the opportunity to once again remember and highlight, the optimism and forgiveness contained with in the new moon and with mercury beginning to move direct again, Right View is more easily attained.
After the full moon, the energy of the month begins to move from the creative expansive big picture energy of Leo to the detailed and organized energy of Virgo.
This period of time offers real opportunities to organize and set into motion, the ideas and ways of being that August gifted us with. These shifts of thought and actions can have a long lasting effect in our lives.
The last 2 weeks of the month are an important time to begin to act on your goals.
