Abundant August 2020
August is here!
Hey August, nice to see you again!!! It’s been a year.
I am truly mindblown how quickly this year has passed by! With all of the chaotic unease we’ve experienced together during the infamous 2020, I have found peace in it. I have had the best year helping others adjust and readjust to their ‘new’ normal, to goals, to their true wants and desires. It is refreshing to know that much of the world is embracing change and in turn, collectively growing stronger and getting better. This year has forced us to sit still, which has in turn forced us to slow down and to sit with ourselves and look at all that we have been running from in order to begin our individual healing processes. Without change, there is no growth. I applaud each of you for doing the work.
What have you learned about yourself this year? Any habits, people, or things you may need to let go of, is it time to elevate your inner circle of humans?
Abundance
Let’s chat numerology for a moment…
August - the 8th Month, a 3 in numerology
The significance of both an 8 and a 3 is, well, a lot! Walking your path to Abundance. You may experience new ways of making money, walking into opportunities, or creative thinking. You may be meeting people that are meant to be in your life this month (refer back to elevating the humans you chose to spend your time and energy with) that can assist you with achieving goals for your next freshae chapter.
Leo to Virgo - Fire to Earth
Can you feel the season change? Hot to cold, passions ignited into the action of doing the work… ahh how I love the natural occurring cycles. The month of August is filled with joy, passion, love, abundance, grounding our dreams and ideas and making plans to move full speed ahead into reality.
We have a Blueberry Full Moon in Aquarius to kick off the month on the 3rd. It's the time to release yourself from fear, anger and jealousy. You will most likely experience a strong need for emotional freedom. We may be experiencing more complicated emotions as the time to release and be free has arrived! Leo season does encourage this behavior even more so. It is passionate, driven, freedom loving and joy filled.
Please note that hormones, thyroid, ankles, forearm muscles, claves, achilles tendons may be affected at this time. So please watch for signs from the body to care for yourself properly. If you are noticing any of these areas in particular, try light stretching, look at the areas of your life where you may feel stuck, and where you may have rigid thinking. Take a walk if the weather permits, and make sure to avoid inflammation aggravating substances; ie: alcohol, stimulants including caffeine, acidity and spice which include delicious tomatoes and hot hot peppers that may ignite that inner fire, WE. do. NOT. need... In the middle of LEO fire season, and in summer, we are hot and spicy enough.
Midmonth, on August 18th, we have a New Moon in Leo. Leo will influence our passions and ignite a new push forward. Virgo season is entering this week as well, so the energies shift from go getter attitudes to full on planning and building mode. Nothing can stop you now!
Health and Happiness
How do we prepare to enter FLU season on top of Covid, Head Colds, and other pesky illnesses?
Lungs, respiratory, circulation, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders are the most affected areas, so lets start there! What can we do to build up our antibodies and healthy white blood cells?
Exercise; including yoga, and sleep are simple and yet the most effective ways to promote health and healing in the body. Healthy oxygen levels keep our bodies in top immune boosting mode.
Keep checking in with your own self talk as well as those who are surrounding you. The recurring theme this month is elevating your existence by speaking positively about yourself as well as those who surround you on a daily basis.
What is stocked in your food pantry and in your self care closet?Try to create a habit of purchasing and eating primarily in season fruits and vegetables, and even better, choose to eat organic. It may seem like a simple price difference, but it’ll impact your body both internally from a cellular level and externally to a shiny exterior. Same goes for meat products, organic is best!
In addition to organic and seasonal, fresh is recommended. Fresh produce, fresh juice, fresh water, fresh air, clean skin, hair and nails. Fresh, clean environments; vacuum and mop the floors, dust and clean countertops, etc. with organic cleaning products. Bleaches and hard cleansers are chemicals and can mess with your immune systems as well as with your lungs. Instead, here are some alternatives to clorox wipes, bleaches and other cleaning supplies. I have personally used disinfectants ranging from essential oil companies to Dr. Meyers brand from Target or Costco. I would recommend checking out other ‘clean’ brands to keep your floors and countertop spaces, clothes and bedding clean, while also keeping your insides happy!
Energy for the Month:
Card: Queen of Wands
Description: The Queen of Wands is the energy of standing in our truth and power. Love, abundance, intuitive, passionate, driven and creative energy is flowing in and all around your life. Watch yourself attract suitors of love and in the work areas of your life. You have this magnetic strong appeal to all of those around you.
You may feel extra creative and driven, bringing in new opportunities or creating your own new opportunity from your creations. You have this inner knowing that you can do anything you put your mind to, and you will have no problem bringing in passion to anything you touch. What a beautiful, inspired, creative, passionate month!!
