August 2010 promises to be a great number eight month. There are lots of cosmic forces encourage us to shed and grow and prepare for the spring time of your life.
The Sun is in Leo. Leo loves creativity and romance and the New Moon is the perfect time to send your wishes out into the cosmos with dynamic lifter coating. Our zodiac Leo friends are loyal and very generous. They love bringing joy and encouragement to us when we need it the most. They are enthusiastic about creative projects and respond extremely well to praise especially when hey have expressed their creative genius within. I want to wish a hyappy birthday to all of my wonderful Leo family members and exceptional creative friends.
Our major moon movements begin with a New Moon in Leo on August 10 at 18 degrees Leo. Leo’s links to creativity make this an artistic New Moon. Indulge decadent desires and splurge on luxury – Leo loves the high life. Mars and Venus together create a passionate energy that bodes well for partnerships and romance. Since creative energy is super charged now it’s a lovely time in which to explore expressing your artistic side. Saturn and Jupiter together create the right celestial combination to help you make your visions real. If you can incorporate both practicality and innovation – anything is possible.
The New Moon wishes to be planted range in the areas of:
• Love
• Romance
• Generosity
• Celebration and play/fun
• Dignity
• Determination
• Tempering arrogance
• Leadership
• Concentrated focus
• Following through on goals
• Strength of purpose
• Resoluteness
• Stamina
NB: The Leo solar time is a great opportunity for a little make-over – we want to look our best for the Full Moon in Pisces.
The Full Moon is August 25 at 3:40 am 2 degrees Pisces. Arguably the dreamiest Full Moon all year, this Pisces Moon cycle encourages you to explore your imagination. Fantasy trumps reality as you realise that too much work leaves your soul empty. Fill your spiritual well with mediation, energetic experiences and by trusting your intuition. Music is ideal mood elevators so don’t forget to press play on your favourite tines. Pluto and Saturn combine to make profound change to the foundations in your life possible. Power and authority clash as you reach a critical point where something has to give.
August is a number eight month which is a welcome vibration of possibility at its highest. Imagine yourself in a lift going to the top floor of every important building to receive a reward, an accolade or a promotion and you’ll understand the eight vibration.
Sphinx is our Goddess for August and she is best know for her many representations in Egyptian art and architecture – particularly the Great Sphinx of Giza – this legendary creature plays a role also in Greek mythology. The Greek Sphinx is female, with the head and breasts of a woman, the body and paws of a lion, the wings of a bird and a serpent’s tale.
The notorious Sphinx at Thebes waylaid travellers, threatening to eat them unless they answered a riddle: what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at midday and three legs at night? The Greek hero Oedipus eventually solved the riddle. The answer is a human being, who crawls on all fours in infancy, walks upright in the prime of life, and uses a third appendage (a cane) in old age.
Mountain Lion is the totem for August. Mountain Lion represents leadership. In assuming the place of power the Mountain Lion affords, you must constantly be aware of keeping peace. However you can never make everyone happy unless you lie to yourself or others. This is human nature. Therefore the fist responsibility of leadership is to tell the truth. Know it and live it, and your example will filter down to the tiniest cub in the pride. Responsibility is no more than the ability to respond to any situation. Panic is not a part of this sacred medicine.
The two of swords is the next card in our journey through the tarot. The two of swords implies a state of tense balance where there is a refusal to face some impending situation of conflict. A more creative way of handling the situation might be to try to face what is before one, rather than attempting to preserve the status quo which will eventually be disrupted anyway.
Our special Leo crystal for August is Citrine. I know we’ve explored this one before but it is a Leonine favourite. Citrine is a powerful cleanser and regenerator. Carrying the power of the sun, this is an exceedingly beneficial stone. It is warming, energising, and highly creative. This is one of the crystals that never need cleansing. It absorbs, transmutes and dissipates, and grounds negative energy and is therefore extremely protective for the environment.
Citrine is one of the stones of abundance. This dynamic stone teachers us how to manifest and attracts wealth and prosperity, success, and all good things (see why I chose this one!). Citrine is happy, generous stone and encourages sharing what you have and yet helps you to hold on to your wealth. It has the power to impart joy to all who behold it.
Psychologically Citrine raises self esteem and self confidence, and removes destructive tendencies. It enhances individuality, improves motivation, activates creativity, and encourages self expression. All of these qualities are perfect for Leos and for all of us who share in the joy of the Leo qualities.
August promises to be a fantastic month. There will be lots of hard work but the rewards will be phenomenal. We are all entitled to have the best job/relationship/life – so open your heart and manifest to your hearts desire.
Love, Peace and Magic,
Halres
