Intuitive Patterns for the Month of August 2013

If you haven’t noticed we are in the hottest time of the year and we are in a Grande Water Trine. The effect seems to be one of sweltering, steamy, heated environments. On one level we are feeling fully the flow of all that water and in another there is the experience of having a sort fuse. Perhaps it is the combination of the water that creates feelings and emotions surfacing for everyone and then the heat, intensity, and volatility combines in somewhat interesting patterns for us.

This month seems to be a swing of extremes. My guess is that will add up to a very wild hurricane season and weather patterns. It will also surface as a boiling to the surface of deeply suppressed feelings in the global sector. For some this will create political drama and people feeling fed up. On the other hand it can also create a huge wave of change and expansion of new ways of dealing with old situations. Depending on what continent or country you are in seems to make a difference right now with this energy pattern. 

As American’s our country was born on the 4^th of July, that makes us a Cancer country. As Jupiter, the great benefic is in Cancer and exalted in Cancer for the next year, I feel the shifts are into expansion and a better balance in the financial area. That is a huge relief for many of you that have been struggling these past many years. There is a feeling of, “Okay let’s do this!” coming from Americans. 

We are in the first real door that is not surrounded by landmines and booby traps to help us, help ourselves. There is a sensation that movement is the way and now is the time. This month we realize that what goes around comes around eventually and now it just might begin to happen. It is not like we are out of the woods but we can begin to see that the landscape of our reality is changing and instead of feeling deep in the dark forest of life there is light coming in, the mountains to climb are becoming only hills, and the walk seems to be a bit easier.

The name of the game is attention to detail and learning to do things in a gentle way rather than to push. Perhaps it is that steamy heat. You cannot push in these moments and instead there is a desire to stay open, be patient, and know that it takes time for integration to happen. 

Try to remember that others are on their own edges and it is probably best to not push because someone just might have had enough and push back. Maintaining balance and a graceful, trusting external composure is essential this month. 

You may not feel as if you know the way but you can feel a flow into another possibility that had not previously been there. It can take some time for the emotional patterns to unweave the reality of the past 5 years but it has begun. Relief is replacing resentment. Energy is replacing exhaustion. Drive is replacing depression. 

What could you become? How will you know if you do not try? You have been waiting for a sign and this might just be the one you are looking for. But do not jump off the cliff before looking. You are not powerless, you are capable of so much but often the first step is to reclaim the childlike enthusiasm and playful expression that is appreciative about the wonder of life. 

Close your eyes. What inspires you? What dreams motivate your heart? Follow that thread. You may not end up where you think but you will find something more amazing, your strength, passion, and ability to overcome. It will be worth the effort.

Have a wonderful month.
