On August 1st we celebrate Lammas, the first fruits of our work and srvice in the world. In what way have we contributed to our own joy and the joy of others?

The New Moon in Leo on Sunday, August 4th encourages us to be courageous and express the truth of our heart’s desire. New ways of communicating authentically with others will stimulate actions and opportunities for the resolution of work and health related problems as Venus enters the sign of Virgo and Mercury goes retrograde in that sign also on August 4th.

Energetic enhancements will support our health and well-being as our Sun aligns with Sirius on Thursday, August 8th. This alignment is known as the Lion’s Gate.

Connection, communication and co-creation continue in the month of August as both Mars and Jupiter transit the sign of Gemini.

A First Quarter Phase Moon in Scorpio occurs on Monday, August 12th. This event represents the culmination of the Lion’s Gate energetic portal and signals the completion of an important phase in our emotional journey of healing, transformation and empowerment.

Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Leo on Wednesday, August 14th. Decisions involving loved ones and creative projects will become a priority.
