AUGUST 2020 PREDICTIONS!

Is all in Divine Order?  Is God working His purpose out?  Is there a meaningful, progressive divine plan?  Perhaps.  Personal control is an illusion, but we can attempt to find a natural rhythm and balance in our days amidst all that is playing out on the national & local scene.  “The planetary emphasis in Capricorn has revealed itself through a need for control.”  A pandemic, infections, deaths, shutdowns, economic woes, authoritarian, draconian measures to exert control …. as we yearn for normalcy and recreation & progressive change; it’s a lot to deal with emotionally.  “A full moon on August 3 invites progressive change.  There is a danger for those of us who have been feeling restless that this full moon will exaggerate our frustrations and trigger us to act in ways that we might later regret.  This is a restless and provocative full moon, so it will pay in the days beforehand to tune into any feelings of frustration and restlessness and identify their origin.  This evaluation will help you determine the best, most constructive course of action.  The key is to invite dynamic, forward-moving change into your life and to work from conscious awareness rather than knee-jerk responses.  As Mars moves into a sharp 90 degree angle with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn, we also need  to consider that inner peace is going to elusive.  Aries people need to be very careful regarding their actions this month, as trying to fight or force something will be counterproductive.”

“The theme of power and control will amplify as Mars moves into an exact square with Pluto on August 13.  This is when Aries folks need to be particularly careful, because with Mars in their sign, they might tend to think that they can have or do anything, win every battle, or overcome any adversity.”  Aries, Don’t overplay your hand!  “Much can be achieved at this time if there is some degree of tolerance and compromise.  People could revolt against governments and authorities, such as the police, and there could be more protests and a general feeling of David pushing against Goliath.  A new moon in Leo on August 19 offers us a brighter, and much more optimistic opportunity, but we still have Mars and Saturn at odds with each other.  Change comes when it’s ready.  We can apply patience & persistence.”      We can try to find common ground with others who think differently than we do, as we push forward for meaningful, much needed change.

Letting go of the old ways & embracing the new energies for this Age is crucial to our well-being and our ability to attract positive opportunities, and in our best interests for soul-growth.   This is a time for progressive change!  “The full moon on August 3 brings in a powerful, inter-dimensional opening between heaven and Earth, calling on all members of the human kingdom and all life on Earth to discover a sense of truth and harmony.  The T-square activated by the planets in cardinal signs (Jupiter, Pluto & Saturn in Capricorn communicating the passion for all life and all living beings versus money, greed and wealth; Mars in Aries, the sign of new ways of doing things versus war, destruction, the military, and death; and Mercury in Cancer, the sign of alternative forms of life enhancement, nurturance and abundance) will amplify stress on a very real 3D level for those who buy into the belief in dyadic rather than triadic ways of being.”

A new moon in late Leo occurs on August 18, bringing intense passionate energies to current events.   Mars in Aries signals new directions, and the Sun, Moon, and Mercury conjunct  all in Leo urge expressions of “balanced reciprocity of the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine”.  We are each responsible for the realities that we create with others and the world around us.  It’s called karma.  We are called now to heal the trauma.  “As Vulcanus moves into Leo, the energies of shining the light of truth on all and explosively removing all that blocks, limits, or attempts to hide the universal truths of interconnectedness will be empowered.  With Chiron in Aries trine the Sun in Leo and Mars in mid-Aries throughout August, a plethora of of new directions and possibilities will present themselves.   The importance of alternative ways to heal the soul and psyche, as well as the physical wounds that people have perpetrated on each other for lifetimes, will be presented.”

“The energies of August will focus on rethinking, restructuring, and reorganizing the way things have been done in the past, in all aspects of life, and in search of positive alternatives for the present and near future, in the spheres of home, work, leisure, science, or mental, emotional and physical health or well-being, new methods will be necessary for all.  With all five outer planets retrograde — Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus (all earth signs); and Neptune in Pisces (water represented by the two fish whose tails are tied together swimming in opposite directions — humans and Earth are perched on the precipice between what has been and what will be.”  We are being called to “let go of old habits, beliefs and expectations set up as frameworks to provide a false semblance of organization, security and control”.   We are being called on “to become the bridges between heaven and Earth”, to seek ‘higher-self’ guidance through prayer and meditation, to assist in our transition “through this in-between time”.  We all have a freewill choice “to change in a resisting, fearful way or to seek ways to facilitate and flow within the cosmic shifts taking place”.     This is a time of integration and healing, surrender, release and renewal.
