Hello Beautiful Soul!
August is about transmutation, internal transformation, and alchemical transition as we journey to greater soul realization!
August's energies bring alchemy, and there will be more light that seeks to move through us, to initiate us into an awareness that we are capable of being a channel for beauty, abundance, grace and joy. To know we are allowed inner freedom and will receive all that we need.
This month there is a cosmic nudge to release the Victim Archetype - it's time to trust the universe, ourselves and fully let go!
It is a time for closure, asking the now wiser heart to release the past, so that we can find peace and inner balance with any remaining trauma, emotions and relationships that restrict the unfolding of the next stage of our destiny.
To do so we must grieve our losses, and the energies this month are a final catalyst to do so. We are on the path to embodying the energies of fire, passion, creativity, and strength, as well as transformation and transmutation so that we can spiral up to a new level of being and create a reality that is in alignment with this.
The two chakras that will aid us in this magical and cathartic process are the 6th and 12th (White Star), along with the Sage and the Alchemist Archetypes. The Sage strengthens our intuition and inner knowing, while the Alchemist supports us to accept responsibility for our healing, finding the will to transform fear and alchemizing it into peaceful resolution, wisdom, and co-creative action for the highest good.
The White Star takes us to another level of the Higher Self, to Ascension, so that we awaken on every level of awareness and heal to the next level of wholeness.
