Hello and happy August! Something about August feels incredibly good. I’ve made three tweets just about how good August feels, maybe with tropical Leo and Virgo season and a New Moon this upcoming Sunday, it has me feeling good about the month but from what I’m feeling, the energy of this month is going to be good for everyone so enjoy it and use it. Time to focus on us, ourselves, our purpose and our journeys. Time to move on and move forward, be intentional and watch where it leads you.

I hope this month feels good and with the Ace of Wands being the first card in your spread, I think it will be. August is all about follow through and commitment to the journey. With this card, there’s the possibility of something new starting this month, a new job, you returning to school, moving to a new place…anything that feels like a breath of fresh air and a safe space where you can really be. For some, it may not be something new starting but instead a push and encouragement to start something new for yourself, a new way of living, a new lease on life, looking at new opportunities, etc. Of course, this can relate to relationships and romance, but I think August is more focused on your personal journey and growth, how we’re aligning with our purpose and living for ourselves. Let your relationship to you be your focus, be your own light and inspiration. August offers you a lot of time and freedom to get so many things done so use it to your advantage. Productivity looks different for everyone and not every waking moment needs to be devoted to work but I encourage you to have a focus for each week and three to five goals for yourself, things that you want to accomplish. With school starting for many, one week could be focused on setting yourself up for academic success, create a course schedule, look at (paid) internship opportunities and maybe connect with different clubs of social programs at your school. For entrepreneurs, maybe one week is about marketing and outreach, maybe you’ll take a seminar on branding, update your website, rework some products…you know what you need to do! Again, don’t let the word productivity pressure you but do really use all the time you have in this month to move yourself forward, you have a lot of things on your checklist and compartmentalizing them on a weekly basis will help you than looking at a long list and trying to get it all done in a day. And with your responsibilities you must tend to, also implement times to focus on sharpening your skills and looking towards your next moment's opportunities. Like the internship opportunities or taking a branding seminar, those are important for now and moving forward, you’ll add new tools to your toolbox, leave with new ideas and possibly even connections that can serve you now or later. You are in the driver’s seat, you’re in complete control, take these keys so this month can be great, productive, educational, inspiring, fulfilling and fun. The VIII of Wands is confirming my hunch about something new starting, maybe you’ve been leading up to this moment or in the early days of August, you’ll set things in place for a new thing to start towards the end. I know the past few months have been challenging and uncomfortable but I told you you’d be back on your feet towards the end of this summer, as you step into this month and think about what this new thing can be, remember that it can already be coming towards you or you will create it, also…focus on rebuilding your confidence and trust in self so you feel comfortable in a new space. Again, the last few months were weird and took you out of yourself so taking more control this month and create a schedule or flow that works for you will really help you as something new comes in. Things are truly aligning in August so don’t doubt all the greatness coming and the incredible work you’re putting in. Don’t be too hard on yourself this month, the more you embody the Three F’s (fun, flow and freedom), the smoother things will go. Again, the focus is more on you than anything but enjoy your relationships as well if you can. You have a lot of support this month, especially from colleagues, professors, other students and employers, they will be willing to assist you in moving up or accomplishing something. On the spiritual side of things, August is very focused on life purpose work, our theme is follow through so everything you do in this month is heavily influenced by your calling, this month gets you one step closer to alignment.

…Again by DVSN ft Shantel May
For August, I urge you to remove unnecessary things from your life that cause you to doubt yourself. This month is focused heavily on self, building and trusting your intuition and silencing the voices around you that may make you doubt yourself. Overall, you all seem to be moving in a great direction and in wonderful spirits following July and it’s themes of freedom and independence. Now, as you enter new spaces and grow more, we really want to be cognizant about what and who is in our space. Through this month, it seems like things will become clear to you about what needs to be removed and when you gain that sign, act on it, don’t sit here questioning if you should really let it go. All through July, we discussed releasing attachment and doing things for the good of us, now why would you ignore what we learned and not apply it to your life moving forward? Maybe for some of you, you want be letting go of things in August, but rather growing comfortable with what you have released in July, especially in regards to certain relationships that were no longer healthy. Releasing what we held onto for quite some time is hard, but I want you to look around you, look at how you’re growing and moving, in order to receive our blessings, we must let go of things that no longer serve us. And with this new space, you have the opportunity to make connections with new people and add new things to your life all together. So, through August whether you’re lamenting on your release or trying to prepare yourself for release, remind yourself that your guides want to remove what doesn’t serve you so the things that do can grow and you can bring new elements and energy into your life to aid in the growth and elevation you’re currently doing. For all of you, relationships definitely are emphasized this month as well, some people hold energy that you just don’t need to be around, they may exhaust you, bring chaos or make you doubt yourself, it’s important to set boundaries with these people and not let them intrude on how great this month and the months after can be for you. This month, it may be good for you to journal about the type of new things/energies you’d like around you, especially relationships. Again, lots of clarity is coming this month and it’s important you use it, you don’t want to sit somewhere that weighs you down. August is a great time to reflect on your current relationships, what skills you want to build and what you seek out of your current and future bonds you make. With all the clarity and divine guidance coming this month, trust it and trust your intuition, if something feels off, explore that feeling rather than neglecting it, if you need space away from someone or something, take it so you can seek out the answers you need. All in all, this month is about embracing release and new worlds, letting go of what doesn’t feel go, taking note of our relationships and trusting ourselves. You know what’s best for you, don’t let anyone make you doubt your own gut or heart. See through the illusions and know that you are bigger than your worries and fears. This month looks incredible for you personally, lots of good things coming your way, clear out what’s not needed so you can fully enjoy your blessings.

Your key to carry through August is to Let. It. Go. If something is not working, let it go. If you find yourself exhausted, let it go. If it doesn’t feel like you, let it go. With the V of Cups, right now, you seem to be dealing with situations that are taking away from you more than pouring into you and while you may want to get things done and work out the challenge, you’re now at a point where you really have to reason with yourself if it’s worth it. In July, we discussed getting back and track and rebuilding yourself and this theme carries through August. Before we can rebuild, we have to find ourselves again (maybe even rediscover ourselves) and maybe you’ve lost yourself in all that’s going on around you and what you’re pouring into. You haven’t had enough time to pour into yourself, ask yourself what you want or what you’re searching for because everyday, you’re putting energy out to stay afloat and not lose your footing. Of course, we can’t just say “fuck it” to our commitments and responsibilities but through this month, I encourage you to build a schedule centered around you so you can create balance, rather than putting all your energy out, find time each day to put energy into you, your health, your happiness and your goals. In order to rebuild, we must reconnect so in this first week of August, ask yourself what is something you’ve been wanting to do, maybe a goal you’ve been thinking about and then write down three efforts you can do through this month in order to fulfill that. And not just your goals, but return to the efforts and practices you did to care for yourself and to create your happiness. Mutables, you all have this certain spark and energy about yourselves that I don’t want you to lose so please be sure you take these notes and find your light again and pour into self. Sometimes the world moves so fast around us but that doesn’t mean we have to be pulled with it, step back, let go for a moment and focus on grounding yourself and finding your peace. This month it’s time to pour back into you, reclaim your energy, no longer waste your time and find create a state of inner peace and peace in your environment. If something isn’t working, stop giving it your time, it’s okay to step away from something, you are not failing and the universe will not pressure you to finish. Your divine team is aware of the challenges that come with this very messy human experience so making a few mistakes means nothing, making a mistake is always better than losing yourself completely. This month, I urge you to put more energy towards your creative, career and/or success plans, especially things you want to do for yourself personally and try setting up the building blocks whether that’s doing researching, networking, building up your resumé or exploring new opportunities, again, we’re pouring into us and what pours back into us. With Unstick the Stuck and Iolite, it’s clear that your divine team wants you to make your goals your main priority more than anything else, let shit that’s not working go and put energy into the right things that will build you up. It’s likely an opportunity or step forward will come for many, it can be a personal accomplishment one makes or some of you can literally see an opportunity come your way. Whatever sort of good thing comes, let this month be healing, rejuvenating and exactly what you need to rebuild. Remember, self, health and happiness. Let go, don’t waste your time or energy and pour into you.
