This month’s energy is beautiful in the way that we are being called back to the true essence of who we are. You will be considering what it is you need and what you want to create in life and you’ll be learning how to create it this month. 

There may be things you’ve been settling for and now is when you start to realize that you deserve much more than what you’ve been getting. Instead of waiting around for others to approve or to give you better, you’ll be taking the power into your own hands.

The magician card energy is strongly supporting us in this reading. You will be creating your own way out of some sort of sticky situation that’s been making you feel stuck. 

You will realize that you have everything you need to start living your life the way you want to. However, the way you go about doing this may be unorthodox. Many people may not understand your methods as they will not be very traditional, but that’s okay!

Right now we are all being encouraged to follow our own unique path. You will know deep inside that it’s the right way for you to do something and that is all you need for now. 

At times, you will be required to be honest with yourself and others. You may need to be assertive in speaking your truth, standing up for yourself, and moving towards what you know you need in this life of yours.

It will be important this month to check in on yourself mentally and physically. Burnout and stress are possibilities, so balance will be necessary. Do your best to stop and notice where you might be tense in your body. Are you in a state of anxiety? Observe yourself and do whatever it is you need to do in order to gain balance. 

What do you need to feel better? Maybe it’s a good night sleep, a cat nap, a little breathing exercise, to stop working and play a game for a while, or a cup of relaxing tea. Don’t hesitate to seek outside assistance. Maybe what you need is a really good professional massage or someone to help you with your work load. 

This month, tend to your needs everyday. You’ll know exactly what you need when you slow down and tune into yourself. 

As mentioned in the overall themes for this month, this is a prime time for getting back in touch with the essence of who you are. There’s some kind of magic floating around this August that connects us deeply with our mind, heart, and life. Since this energy is so strong, I think it’s an absolute great time to work some manifestation magick. 

If ever there was a time to know what it is you really want, it’s now. Make your wish with conviction and faith in your own ability to see it through. Send it out into the universe wrapped up in your love and be ready with open arms to receive new opportunity, change, and success. 

You don’t have to look up how to do this in the “proper way”. Do this in the way that feels most natural and right to you. Just put into it the sincerity of your soul. 

I can see direct ties with this section of the reading and the health and wellness section. It looks like the more balanced we can stay internally, the more peaceful our relationships will be. Likewise, the more imbalanced we are internally, the more chaotic our relationships will be. It’s very important to take care of ourselves this month. 

The moon card is coming out and this points towards the emotional states of those around us. Look inwards when conflicts do come up because it may be you who ends up needing to make an apology. 

There may be questionable behaviors popping up this month but these are likely tied to something going on internally. Perhaps someone is snappy because they are going through something difficult right now. Grace and understanding is needed at this time for yourself and others. 

There may also be a need for you to protect what is valuable to you and to ask more of someone. When you’re vulnerable and honest with yourself you will make better sense of your relationships. Balance is key. 

One more thing, spending time with friends in August is a great idea. 

There is some sort of change and transformation going on in this area of life this month but it will work out really good in the end. There may be a ramping up of work place drama first though. 

There is some kind of toxicity going on and it’s stemming from one or two people but this will be sorted out and taken care of. The best thing you can do is quietly separate yourself from this drama, mind your business, and focus on your work. 

I see an end to something or someone that was over controlling of others. Or some kind of binding contact finally comes to an end and you are free. Ultimately, there is a release of tension and you end up in a much happier place. 

Just have patience and gratitude. You may even receive some sort of reward, recognition, or promotion this month. 

You may surprise yourself in August with how much you’ve grown and changed. You are being more brave about your authenticity and I think it’s going to feel really good. You may also be healing aspects of yourself that you’ve had for a long time, maybe your whole life. You could be facing your fears. You’ll be like, “Wow! I really just did that!”

Once again, we are getting the message to stay balanced and beware of burnout. Remember to take breaks and recharge yourself. Whenever it is possible, make your work fun! If it’s not, take a play break. Do whatever you can to keep things feeling fresh. 

There may be something we are preparing for now. Take the time you need to learn what you need to, practice a certain skill, or stockpile something you’ll need when the time is right. 

Consider old ideas, items, or projects that may be more usable now. Perhaps you already have something you need in storage. How can use your experience from the past to create your vision for the future. Take what you’ve learned and apply it.
