/August 2018 Tarotscopes:
The Month of Joy, Resurrection, and Change.
Happy August 2018 Dear Ones! Whoo! We finally made it. It feels like its been such a test to get here. Like I've been at sea for eight months and now my feet have felt the sand. August can be a whirlwind as we start to integrate the soul felt changes of this year's radical eclipse season. August brings love vibrations as we enter into the 8th month of the year. In numerology, the number 8 signifies power, wealth, exchange, enterprise, leadership, authority, eternal life, and karma. For us humans this energy makes us feel jolted and ready to launch. In conjunction with this 8 life force energy, we are entering a one universal month during the masterful 11/2 year. All of this requires deep concentration and bone wrenching focus. Daydreaming about your goals doesn't work anymore. It's time to show up in your work.
August also foreshadows many great changes. The universal one-month energy brings new beginnings, leadership, and trials. Feelings of superiority and authority create waves if you're not swimming. Try to avoid people who don't have your best interest at heart. Team players only. Although we are in brave Leo season, there are currently five planets in Retrograde creating snags in our ability to navigate. But still, we move forward.
Eclipse season is not over just yet as this month's new moon in Leo brings the final 2018 partial Leo solar eclipse. In astrology, eclipses signify radical slow moving changes. We are knee deep in the middle of this shift. Instead of worrying and panicking about what you cannot control, find creative solutions to utilize the abundance of resources that are at hand.
August will be a major player in 2018. August calls us to stand up in our transition and trust the movement of our fire. With so much transformation occurring in our political, economic, and financial spheres, we can't help but seek solace in the arms of Spirit. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, this is not the time to alienate yourself. Connect with your tribes, share your discretions, and make peace with the moment that is now.

She is bare, only holding a purple snake who perches on her knee with familiarity.

This illustration speaks to the power of our humility. It illustrates that ones nakedness is power and the snake's presence replicates this.
Because it is in it's reversed position, one is not accepting this Resurrection. Indicating that it will be stuck until it accepts the emotional changes that must occur.

Throughout the month you will repeatedly experience emotionally charged situations until you accept that you must face your own shadows, you must face your demons to be free.
Allow yourself to be submerged in the water of your feelings. Allow yourself to be cleansed from all past hurts, traumas, or karma. Give yourself permission to feel so that you can heal.
This period calls you to take a fresh look at how you are romanticizing your service to the world. Are you daydreaming or are you awake? The world desperately needs your creativity but you have to be willing to bend to deliver it. Do not allow stubbornness to reject your streams of divinity. Give freely to your emotions and allow your creativity to be your source of transmutation.
Water is your friend right now so try to find some. If you are not able to access fresh water streams, lakes, or oceans, try to drink more water and take long baths daily.
When the Sun enters Virgo at the end of the month you will begin to see how your relationships have played a major role in how you communicate and digest your emotions. Remove anyone or anything toxic from your life, no matter how beastly the love is. Trust that what leaves makes more room for something bigger to come in its place. Trust.
