Hello dear friends,

A big welcome to August everyone. The month is related to the astrological sign of the Leo, a fixed Fire Sign, whose symbol is, The Lion. The card for Leo in any traditional deck of tarot, and this is helpful if you’re looking for either a timing, the month of August, or the sign of Leo, is the Strength Card. 

The Sun travels through the fire sign of Leo till the 22nd. And, as this happens, no matter what sign you are, we’re all showered with Leo energies. Then the Sun moves on and forward on the 22nd entering Virgo. 

There’s an important retrograde that’s affecting us all, Mercury starts a reverse movement in his home sign of Virgo. Being the planet of the focused intelligent mind, travels and all types of communication, this retrograde will definitely create some issues for us all especially if your’re a Virgo, Gemini or Leo. Want to know more? Well, check out my video and find out which areas are affected for you personally so you can be careful when dealing with those sectors.

Please make note of the New Moon and Full Moon dates. Up to the 4th, the Moon is waning (appears as if it’s decreasing in size) which is great for spiritual clearing, cleansing and binding/destroying negativity. If a cleansing procedure is usedthen we can become more magnetic to attracting renewal and regeneration through the Cancer New Moon on the 5th. Then, from the New Moon on the 5th, we’re all showered with expanding positive energies needed for attracting and cosmic ordering. The meaning of this is, as that as The Moon appears to be get bigger, so it lends that energy to aid any cosmic order’er to also expand & attract something good into their lives. This is all the way to the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 19th.
