*This meditation is evergreen and can be done for the Full Moon or any other Cosmic event happening. Use the previous episode to check in about what is going on and insert it into this meditation!

August 2023 starts and ends with a Full Moon. On August 1st, we have the Aquarius Super Full Moon, and on August 30th, we have the Pisces Super Blue Full Moon.

Having two Full Moons in the same calendar month means August will be a time for clearing, and letting go. All that is no longer benefitting us will be up to let go and once we reach the month’s end, we will likely find ourselves feeling lighter.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is Tuesday, August 1. Known as the Sturgeon Moon, this moon is also a Super Moon and invites us to move forward towards something new, exciting, different and adventurous. The theme is freedom. We want freedom from being trapped in past emotional fear, regret, disappointment, anger, shame, feeling unworthiness, etc.

Use Mindfulness tools to become aware and observe these emotions coming up as the intense inspiration to move beyond what holds us back comes into play. Use the cosmic energy to liberate yourself from one thing that you truly feel complete with. It could be an attitude, old habit, a practice or routine or something physical you have been unable to let go of, a relationship, something in your physical environment, etc. If you change one thing in your life (for realsy), it will begin to influence everything else that needs to change, for the highest good.

The other aspect of this moon is the support for healthy boundaries. Examine where your boundaries are, especially around your areas of challenge. Are they too fixed? Too loose? Outdated? In need of resetting? Call in balance between what you need and what everyone else needs. You can say “No” as long as it is not a triggered reaction - make sure to use tools to support yourself, if you become triggered and to then wait to be in a space of response.

Desired motivation focused your personal well being and self care with love, compassion and support. If there is frustraiton, impatience, emotional tension, pause, take a step back and take a breath, zoom out and use your tools (energy healing, meditation) and when you can look at the situation from a place of neutrality and personal responsibility.

You also have an opportunity to reach down into your own inner power, truth and strength, and to manifest it physically through inspired action, adventure and beneficial choice.

Be willing to allow the past stay in the past and move towards embracing the future with courage, joy and inspiration for what could be. Think of this as the door that is opening and allowing you to pivot in a new to bring in new experiences and outcomes.

From August 23rd, both Venus and Mercury will be in retrograde. In fact, we will have a total of six major cosmic players in retrograde throughout August, with Venus and Mercury being the strongest.  All of this retrograde energy could create a heavy feeling. We may feel like we are looping, or perhaps having to go back over things we thought we had already handled. Our patience may be wearing thin, but there will not be a lot we can do to make things move any faster.  When we have a large amount of retrograde energy coursing through the cosmic skies, it is almost in our best interest to move slowly. Learn to go with the pace that the Universe is asking is to be in flow with. And use your tools - this will support you being able to stay in harmony, groundedness and alignment.

Much love and Reiki blessings.

Let’s take a closer look into some of the main astrological events of the month and how you can work with the energies:

August 1: Aquarius Super Full Moon

The month begins with a healing Full Moon. While the energies of the month hold some intensity, this Full Moon is a gentle, guiding force, revealing to us all that is just no longer a fit for our highest well-being.

August 4: Mercury enters Shadow Phase

Mercury will begin slowing down in preparation for its retrograde later in the month. Mercury is the planet of communication; when it enters retrograde, it tends to reveal where we haven’t been truly listening.

August 8: Lionsgate 88 Beneficial Portal

The Lionsgate Portal honors the rising of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. As Sirius rises, it is reborn, and we also can feel the rebirth of our own Spirit energy. The Number 8 represents infinite potential, and meditating with the number is believed to activate our DNA. We can take the incredible, uplifting energies of Sirius and merge them with the 8 to fully harness potential of this beneficial portal.

August 9: Venus Retrograde in Leo Square Uranus in Taurus

Venus Retrograde and Uranus will be in a difficult angle with each other. The energy will be strongest on this day, we will feel it for at least a week around this date.

August 13: Sun Conjunct Venus – Venus Starpoint

This is a power day for the energy of Venus. When Venus aligns with the Sun, we have the Venus Star Point. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, relationships, money, and the things we value. When it aligns with the Sun, it can bring awakening moments around these areas of our lives. Whatever issues Venus Retrograde has been stirring in your life are likely to feel a little clearer at this point.

August 16: Leo New Moon

The Leo New Moon will continue to activate the Venus Retrograde energies.

August 21-23: Sun and Regulus Align

Regulus is the star of royalty. It is associated with riches, fame, success, and honors, and on this day, the Sun aligns with it, activating a beneficial portal of energy. We can use Regulus energy to open to abundance and to activate and align our crown chakras. Regulus holds the energy of opportunity, so set an intention with what you would like to create for yourself and know they are possible. This is a fantastic, high-energy portal that can bring more joy, and health into our lives.

August 23- Sun in Virgo

Virgo Season begins as the Sun moves out of its home zodiac, Leo. Virgo Season is a time to organize, consolidate, and get back on schedule.

August 23- Mercury Retrograde in Virgo

Mercury enters retrograde in its ruling sign of Virgo, this means the effects of this retrograde will be felt a little more strongly. Mercury is the messenger planet.

August 27: Mars enters Libra

Fiery Mars moves into balanced Libra. Mars in Libra encourages us to get balanced, especially when it comes to where we are putting our time and attention. With Mars in Libra, we may also feel more passionate about issues relating to justice, equality, and fairness.

August 28: Uranus Retrograde

Uranus joins Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto as it enters its retrograde journey. We now have a total of six planets in retrograde, which may make the weeks to follow feel a little a bit more heavy.

August 30: Pisces Blue Super Full Moon

This super rare Blue Full Moon falls in the sign of Pisces and brings a soft, sensitive vibration. It is also a Super Moon, which means it will be close to Earth, allowing us to feel its vibrations more strongly.

Ep 231 | Rescript your Life & Clear Non-Beneficial Patterns and Programs Reiki & Dowsing Energy Healing Session

*Reiki and Dowsing Energy Healing Session is around 00:39:27

You are a powerful creator who has the ability to rescript your life.

Have you ever wondered why certain things in your life seem to happen on loop? As if you are stuck in a cycle and keep going round and round. There is a movie called "Ground Hog Day" where the character, a TV weatherman, finds himself reliving the same day over and over again when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day. Are you stuck in your own version of Ground Hog’s Day? New Day, yet reliving the same day over and over? Could the human be caught asleep or in unconsciousness – and patterns and programs are then running the show? Could there be limited beliefs that are marionetting the Human? Beliefs that may have been beneficial at one point yet are now nonbeneficial yet still controlling the human as if it was a puppet?

If you feel stuck or caught in negative patterns and programs, tune in to receive a Reiki & Dowsing Energy Clearing & Healing. And call in higher consciousness and shift to a higher vibrational experience for the highest good. And so it is.
