AUGUST 01: The Energy Forecast.

This is a month to work with our fear of the dark. August arrives in the peak of Leo season, full of brightness and expansion - but the real invitation this month is to turn toward what dark parts of self are illuminated in all this light. In this forecast, I tune into the energy of the upcoming month and walk through how to work with what may be presenting - how spot the patterns and behaviors we've denied in ourselves, how to use our judgments as a clue to where our own growth lies: what we can't stand in others is often a quieter, subtler version of something in the self not being faced. This isn't about punishing ourselves for our unfavorable behaviors, it is about witnessing them to clear space for greater personal power waiting to be reclaimed. As always, insights are then offered on how this energy may present for our three core areas of life - our vocation, our health, and our relationships. May it be a month of great illumination.
