August 5-11

Overall Color for the Week:    Dark Violet

It is curious that the old stuff can still affect us the way it does.  This is a week in which you will be aware of this on may different levels.  Because of all of the changes that are going on it is important to be strong in your Core Self.  When you are confronted by situations in which you feel challenged or out of control. Take a moment, breathe, center, and allow your greater perspective to take over.  There are twists and turns in things and relationships, jobs and acquaintances that will become obvious.  Emotions are at the surface.  Allow them to come out.  This is about you.  Never doubt that you have the power and the resources to succeed in any endeavor.  You must make the choice to be the winner.  Do not believe other’s illusions.  They can become yours if you let them.

This will be a tough week.  You are going to be called upon to see things as they really are, including yourself and many of the things that you have been trying to ignore.  Just realize that there is always assistance available if you call on it.  Things are changing.  You are being asked to walk your true path.  This means knowing what is right for you, what is sacred for you, what is meaningful for you, what is important for you.  AS the week goes on, be kind to yourself.  Be willing to take time out when you need it.  The other stuff will always be there.  You need to know where you stand in the midst of it all and how much of it is real for you.

On the larger scale, the relative calm and quiet of the Atlantic hurricane season will be coming to an end.  Expect a number of tropical depressions to form as the week progresses.  Be aware that the forecasts will be inaccurate as these storms take on a whimsical nature and act uncharacteristically.  The weather will be an area of fear and concern throughout the globe as all kinds of climatic anomalies appear.  This heralds the start of more Earth activity.  There will be more Earth movements in odd places, some of which will not be reported as they are out of the way.  Volcanoes are increasing in activity at the same time.  Financial departments will be in disarray as Wall Street wishes they could do the August-off thing that was so typical of France.  In politics, lots of blunders, misstatements, do-overs, and exposures.  More and more is coming to the forefront.  Things are not what they seem, and we are all being dragged down the rabbit hole.  Little by little the bifurcation between those who are looking forward and those dreaming of the past grows larger.  There is that galactic energy getting closer.  What?  ET’s?  Activation of ancient sites?  We shall see. Everything old becomes newer.

Sunday, August 5:    Pale Apricot

The energy of the day is all about balance.  Balance.  Things will be up and down all day.  You might feel as though you are on a roller coaster.  Do this. Do that. How do you feel about this?  How do you feel about that?  Step back from it all.  Demands are being made that you are not necessarily a part of, things you have little or no desire to deal with.  Do not allow someone else’s importance to become yours, unless, of course, you choose it to be.  Be aware of what you are taking on.  The energies are strong and draining.  You need all your strength to get the larger picture.  The rest, the choices, well, you decide.

Monday, August 6:    Pale Gold

There is a sense today that something was forgotten something to do, someone to call, some project to check up on.  IT is important to ground and center.  There are things to be known, but they cannot be known by the logical sense alone.  These are things that transcend the momentary reality of this dimension.  It might sound a bit out there, but actually I is most intimately in-there.  You are getting closed to WHO you are, the WHO that is existing on all levels.  You will be seeing things today as the day progresses in more than one way.  You will see the various layers that make up issues, people, interests, goals, and ambitions.  This can be a bit heady and somewhat upsetting, however just let it be.  By allowing it, you will get it.

Tuesday, August 7:    Powder White

There are many things that have been hidden, covered up, obscured, but in the energy of the day, those obliterations begin to fall away and form emerges beneath things that have been put under wraps.  This can be a day of revelations, some good some bad.  This is a day of things hinted at and paths being made somewhat clearer.  It is a good time to put out an intention to move from a place of what has been confusing you to a place of understanding.  The patterns are becoming clearer.  Your vision is opening up.  Your horizons are expanding.  There is much that can come to light today, and while these things may not be complete, they are nonetheless revealing.  Be open.  Be compassionate.  Listen.  Understand.  There is wonder in the air today.

Wednesday, August 8:    Misty Blue

Mercury Goes Direct (Is it just me or was this the longest retrograde ever?)    Changes.  Yesterday brought major shifts and realignments on all different levels.  You perhaps were aware, and if you were, it hit you like a Mack truck.  Or you were not aware, and that was your reality.  But change happens.  It is not going away.  A lot of stuff is over, but more and more is changing.  This is a time for standing in your power.  This is a time for reading the signs and feeling what they mean.  The logical can move you away from the true essence.  The logical is all about analysis.  This is not a time for analysis.  It is a time for observation.  It is a time for looking for the patterns behind it all.  It is a time for know your own community.  It does not have to be set in stone, rather a feeling of what COMMUNITY means for you.  Then accept that meaning and see what it draws forward.

Thursday, August 9:    Aquamarine

Well, this is quite a day.  You will be making some unfortunate realizations.  Unfortunate because you had thought you had everything in order, well defined, catalogued, categorized, etc., and then you get the message that maybe you had been missing something.  Back to square one.  But really, did you not always have the sense that something was missing, that you had overlooked something?  Today is the wake-up call.  Accept it.  Acknowledge it, and move on.

Friday, August 10:    Bright Green

The realizations continue today, so be ready for anything.  One important note, be aware of the issues that are most pressing for you at this time.  It does not matter that you have stuffed the somewhere.  The current energy will cause you to acknowledge that they exist.  Take some time to work with them, and you can find that they are much larger than you gave them credit for, and the fact that you have trivialized them has cause a lot of the recent confusion.  (Sucks, right!)  But the silver lining actually is there.  In bringing these things to the light, a lot of the stuff that you had been working on as important is seen to be distraction.  Tough sometimes to deal with, but oh so wonderful in retrospect.  Stop fighting all that you know, the power you have, the visions that make you WHO you are.  Just go for it.  Why not?  If you do not try, (oops, apologies to Yoda) if you do not DO, you will never know.  The days energy welcomes and challenges you to go for it.  (And guess what, things can end up a lot better today than you expected.)  (I am really into parenthetical remarks today.)  (Hmmm.)

Saturday, August 11:    Mediterranean Blue

There is some energy out there which is calling for you to be on vacation.  You feel like a cruise.  It is time to drop all that stupid day to day stuff and just relax.  Find a new point to focus on.  Find a dream to drift in.  Find a breeze to waft with.  The day calls for fantasy, for doing, thinking, dreaming, imagining, and letting go.  Letting go of all the stuff that keeps you from actualizing what it is that you are wanting.  The step-back, hold-back, not-now, what-are-you-thinking is always there, but it is much more fun to thumb your nose and g for it.  Build a sand castle.  Paint a masterpiece.  Cook a soufflé.  This time, this energy allows you to take dreams and make them real.  But choose wisely.  Just choose.  There is no right or wrong.  It is time to meet yourself differently, see yourself differently.  Let all the chains go.
