August
August is a time to enjoy the fruits of past efforts, move on from past hurts and connect to our creative power through community as we get ready to turn the page.
August opens with a Full Moon in Aquarius that opens a new chapter individually as well as collectively.
Aquarius in astrology is known as he sign of the water-bearer, and water is connected to the emotional world that guides us through life. The Supermoon in Aquarius opens a new chapter as it is pouring its healing waters upon us.
While the Sun is in radiant Leo opposing the Moon in unconventional Aquarius, the message is clear:
Dare to be different. Shine brightly as your unique self.
It's no longer helpful to hide who you are. This is the time to step up for yourself and the significance of your own precious life. This is the time to ask for the rewards you deserve.
Throughout August, try to tap into your talents instead of focusing on meeting other people's expectations. No more hiding in the shadows; it is time to embrace your authentic self and celebrate your uniqueness. You are a precious gift to this world, and being your unique self is your greatest gift to humanity.
Connect to your Creativity.
Leo is connected to our passions and creative fire. August is the perfect time to let play guide you into deeper embodiment of your creative vision. if you have any big feelings swirling around, allow them to fuel your creative fires.
August is the time to connect to your creativity and rekindle your creative gifts as a human being. Be careful as you tap into the power of creation and remember to make it about inspiration and expression and not validation. This way you can truly experience the gift of letting love flow for the greater good as you shine your light everywhere you go.
Your biggest gift to the world is being your true authentic self, and whether you bring a poem or a smile from someone in the supermarket, they are all of the same value to the world. Your soul has no rules or boxes for creativity and expression, it just wants to light the world through your own personal expression. You are the crayon, the world is the canvas!

The energies of August are extremely bountiful. Mother Nature is the eternal giver and during this time of the year, all the gifts are lining up for us to enjoy and celebrate through community.
As Mother Nature starts ripening, we enter a season of harvest and harnessing. Whatever you have been planting, sowing and tending to are coming to fruition around this time of the year.
August marks the beginning of the harvest season marked by the ancient celebrations and rituals of Lammas and Lughnasadh. This is a season for gathering, playing and dancing as we celebrate all the gifts, that are coming into our lives, if we open our arms to receive.
This is the month to feel the abundance in our lives and dance in the golden hours to the beat of our hearts as we create new paths for ourselves and our community.

Ask your Higher Self to help you release your fears about being seen so you can be the shining star you were born to be. Your voice matters. Your creativity is a gift. Your quirky, wonderful brilliance is a gift to us all.
