Daily Inspiration

Posted on July 31, 2024

We are moving through the fires of purification, transformation and transmutation where every aspect of ourselves, our lives and our world is being changed.  Emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually we are changing.  Our energy is evolving, recalibrating and refining to fully embody the expanded consciousness of our soul.  This is the shift in consciousness.  

2025 is magnifying this process with planetary alignments, astrological shifts, and world events activating deeper layers of our being.  The energies of July have expanded our capacity for change and enhanced our ability to receive new experiences, and greater growth.  We are learning that change is constant and that embracing it brings flexibility and a willingness to adapt to new circumstances.  

As you come to the end of this powerful month choose to become more observant, to eliminate distractions and focus on what is most important now.  Your healing and growth is being given a boost.  Remember that you are undergoing a beautiful process of birthing a new self into being.  Get used to living with one foot in your old life and one in the new.  There is no going back to the way things were and what will be isn't yet fully here.  There is a delicate balance that must be achieved as you heal and release the past while moving forward and into the future.  Make time to listen to the messages of truth and wisdom that are arising from within to aid your healing and your evolutionary journey forward.  

Much love

Kate

Pain or illness can mean you are healing

Pain or illness can mean you are healing

Tunia via channel A. S.

Posted on January 14, 2025

 

My dearest brothers and sisters,

This is Tunia speaking. I love you so very much.

First of all, I am very sorry that Earth continues to be so harsh and lonely. I expect and hope that things will improve this year, including on the physical and practical levels. My heart goes out to you.

This week I would like to share something that some of you will already know, but for those people hopefully it will be a useful reminder.

This week I would like to share that discomfort or pain or illness can mean that you are healing. Discomfort or pain or illness, even if it arises seemingly out of nowhere, doesn’t necessarily mean that there is anything wrong with you.

Often people assume that if they don’t feel discomfort or pain, then things are fine; and if they feel discomfort or pain, things are not fine.

And sometimes that genuinely is the case.

However, what can also be the case is that when things start deteriorating in your body, or when you experience a severe emotional blow, then you don’t feel anything in the moment. The reason you don’t feel anything is that your body quietly deteriorates, or you become more numb without noticing, or your pain gets split off into an unconscious part of yourself. But you don’t feel pain in the moment.

But then later when you start healing, whether physically or emotionally, that’s when you feel the pain or experience an illness. That doesn’t mean that you got wounded or fell ill at that moment. It merely means that that is the moment when things are okay enough in your body that you start to process it.

An example is a teacher who accumulates stress and fatigue all year. Yet during the year, while the stress is accumulating, this teacher will tell you that they are fine. But then when the summer holiday starts, this teacher gets sick, because now their body sees that there is an opportunity for rest. And this summer illness might actually just be a healing and rest and recovery process.

Sometimes if you experience pain or illness out of seemingly nowhere, what might happen is that your body is stable and doing well enough that it feels that it can start to process old pain, and that’s when you experience it. So in that case, pain or illness that seemingly comes up out of nowhere can actually be an unpleasant but real healing process that is going on. Or it might be ascension symptoms.

In general your mind and body and emotions are striving towards health. They are not going to torture you for no reason. So if for example old emotional pain comes up out of nowhere, that isn’t your mind trying to hurt you. It’s likely an attempt to fully release this pain because it was stuck in your subconscious. And all you need to do is just observe it and feel it, perhaps a few times, and then it will pass.

So: some things that get labeled as physical or emotional diseases on Earth are actually healing processes; whereas sometimes actual deterioration and actual emotional wounds aren’t labeled as a problem at all because they don’t cause pain in the moment.

That said, I am not claiming that all pain or illness that arises is always a benign healing process. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it isn’t. Therefore, it is still important to use your common sense and listen to your doctor.

With that, and with all my love, I will leave you for today.

Have a good week.

Your star sister,

Tunia

We Were Born for this Time

We Were Born for this Time

By Jennifer Chapin

Posted on November 13, 2024

“You came into this lifetime with a wealth of knowledge and a rich, composite lineage encoded within your DNA, your cellular structure, your mental and emotional bodies, as well as an extensive chakra system of virtues, qualities and talents. You may have wondered why the members of some families can be so different physically, mentally and emotionally when, from an earthly point-of-view, they came from the same parents and lineage. The lineage of your physical family in this lifetime is only a minuscule portion of your vast history, and your priceless heritage–of who you truly are.”

And

“A master speaks less, listens more carefully, and maintains a detached attitude from what is occurring around him/her. You are to seek the serenity within the Sacred Heart. Therein resides your center of Power and Divine Will.“

~ Archangel Michael via Ronna Vezane

It is easy to feel diminished in the face of the chaos of the world, and yet it was for this time that we have been brought forward. If we could not do the task at hand, if we were not “up to the job,” then we would not have been given permission to incarnate.

It is a great privilege to be on the Earth at this time. Many souls are vying for this privilege, but we were chosen, and we were chosen for a good reason. As this text points out, we are powerful multi-dimensional Beings with a rich and complex heritage, and we are ALL well equipped to be in the current moment of time on the Earth.

This mission is not for the faint of heart. We were chosen for our courage and determination in the face of adversity, for our ability to “Let go and let God” in those moments that we do not understand. We are equipped with the “virtue of selfishness” which Lord Michael has said is an important component of our evolution right now.

Not that we don’t care about the suffering and extreme anxiety in the world around us, but that we care more about ourselves as we lovingly nurture and heal our own wounds so that we can then rise and shine as the beacons of Light that we truly are.

However, the important caveat here is that while we are seeking to fulfill our own mission and personal goals, our intent is to do this with the phrase ~

“For my greatest good that leads to the highest and most benevolent outcome for the Earth, humanity and for all of creation. Let it be so, and so it is. It is done!”

Perhaps this is the time for inner silence and observation. We must not add to the cacophony of the world, but from the vantage point of an ascending master becoming (or returning), we can observe what is happening in the world with great compassion and love. Then, we render our guidance when asked, but we also know when it is appropriate to remain silent.

If we breathe in Light and breathe out Love into the world, then we are accomplishing the mission that we came forward to do: to be great Sentinels of Light that reach out to other Light Bearers all across the globe in a web pf Golden Light that encircles our beloved home planet and extends beyond.

We are in a time of group ascension.

All is well, and we must trust the Divine plan. We cannot know the mind of God, but our faith is such that we wholly embrace God’s Divine Blueprint for this ascension time and for each one of us.

We are dearly loved.

Moment by moment, breath by sacred breath, we give thanks for the blessings in our life, and allow our gratitude to swell up inside us, to be sent out into the world that desperately needs us.

High resonating frequencies of Light are exposing pockets of dense energy

High resonating frequencies of Light are exposing pockets of dense energy

The Arcturian Group

Channel: Marilyn Raffaele

Posted on October 27, 2024

Dear readers welcome to our message which in reality is your message because the consciousness of the readers draws forth the message they are in alignment with.  

​

All is proceeding according to plan.  High resonating frequencies of Light now flowing to earth from the sun are continuing to expose pockets of dense energy thousands of years old some of which is presently manifesting as war. If or when  personal clearings become physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually draining and difficult allow them to unfold rather than automatically responding with fear and resistance. Always remember that releasing of old  energy is a forward step not a backward one in spite of the effects  that often accompany them.  Trust that your higher self is  always governing the process and does not need direction as to how to do it.

​

Be prepared for an approaching time of chaos and fear that will especially affect those  resisting change and promoting the return of obsolete concepts rather than allowing earth to evolve  into a new and higher resonating world of oneness.  Remember that earth and all life on her is spiritual rather than the material/physical sense of everything that most have come to accept as being  the real world. 

​

You have and utilize a material/physical vehicle on earth because it is necessary for living  in the lower resonating frequencies of a three dimensional planet but  you never become that body. You travel in a car, but never become the car. You are not, never have been, and never can be just material/ physical and doubting, resisting, or denying this doesn't change the fact that you are spiritual. 

​

Present times are difficult and frightening for those who have built their foundation on three dimensional concepts they believe guarantee them safety, security, and happiness. When these concepts are questioned or changed they lash out in anger, fear, and resistance in attempts to keep the status quo constituting their security.  Fear is the natural expression of a consciousness of separation and is the source of all violence, resistance, power over, war, abuse, suffering, hatred, self-righteousness, and suicide.

​

No one can stop the spiritual ascension process taking place at this time because the earth is not material.  Earth is the manifestation of a Divine Idea in the mind of God infinitely perfect, whole, complete, and beautiful.  As with all concepts, material concepts of earth must eventually collapse because  belief is all that maintains and sustains concepts.  As mankind spiritually evolves and earth's collective consciousness becomes more spiritually enlightened, its creations will begin to more closely reflect reality.

​

Earth as a three dimensional planet has been the perfect place for souls to learn and evolve because experience is  available on all levels. The first stage is the physical, where the person experiences all their  pains and pleasures physically. Next the soul begins to develop on the mental level noticing beauty and thinking of people and things outside of self. Then the emotional level unfolds and the soul begins to experience and understand emotions of self and others. Most live many lifetimes from these three levels until at some point they are prepared to learn about and experience the spiritual truth about  earth, him/her self, and all life. 

​

Souls choosing to evolve through "earth school" learn from lifetimes  lived as every skin color, both genders, lives short and long, some very difficult and some not--experiences only a three dimensional planet can offer.  When a soul has  learned everything necessary from the three dimensional level and has completed his/her contract, they no longer need to keep reincarnating on earth but can continue their evolution in the higher realms or on a more advanced planet.

​

The spiritual ascension of earth is the reason so many evolved souls with no further need for three dimensional  lessons volunteered to incarnate once again.  Most evolved souls appear to be  ordinary humans living ordinary lives but in reality they are lifting earth's frequencies and  seeding the collective consciousness with truth and Light simply through the presence on earth of their evolved states of consciousness.  As truth and Light increases in collective consciousness, increasingly more individuals can and will access it,  lifting and shifting earth's overall vibration.  

​

Never forget that earth is a spiritual universe, every person's real identity is divine, and that every life is in and of the only life.  Do not attempt to understand this with your mind because human minds are  limited by personal conditioning and collective belief.  God is infinite and spiritual, and thus incomprehensible to finite, limited, and conditioned minds although many have tried and many more think they have accomplished it. However, God is always revealing  ITself but speaks in a small still voice that must be listened for.   

​

Regardless of how real the material/physical world may seem even in its highest and best forms, it can only ever be the illusory dream that mankind has been dreaming for thousands of years that they themselves created out of duality, separation, and two powers.  Life lived on earth is  like watching a film or play.  You become fully engrossed and feel the emotions of every good and bad situation and even begin to identify with the characters, but there comes a point at which the curtain comes down, the house lights turn on, and you find yourself being yourself once again.  The lights of earth are turning on and the three dimensional curtain is coming down. 

​

Spiritual evolution can never be stopped because it is not an event but is a revealing.  Spiritual reality has always been fully present, but majority states of consciousness remain unable to energetically align with anything other than what they can see hear, taste, touch or smell with the physical senses.  However, this is rapidly changing and many are waking up into new and higher states of awareness.

​

You cannot go beyond omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence.

You Were Raised by Emotionally Immature Parents If You Experienced These 32 Things

You Were Raised by Emotionally Immature Parents If You Experienced These 32 Things

By Janey Davies, B.A. (Hons)

Posted on August 16, 2024

 

Growing up, did you feel like you were the responsible adult and not your parents, or was every aspect of your life under their strict control? Did you feel rejected? Perhaps the constant mood swings made you insecure?

If this sounds familiar, you could have been raised by emotionally immature parents, but what are the signs? Studies show there are four types of parents who are emotionally immature. In this article, I’ll explore the things you’ll experience growing up with each type.

Four Types of Emotionally Immature Parents

Clinical psychologist Lindsay C Gibson describes four types of parents with immature emotions in her book ‘Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents’:

• Emotional
• Passive/Negligent
• Driven
• Rejecting

1. Characteristics of Emotional Parents

Your parents were erratic and emotionally unstable.

Emotional parents have extreme reactions which cause erratic behavior. They overreact to the slightest little problem and you never know what mood they’ll be in. Their behavior swings between suffocating or absent. These are the parents that are most emotionally immature.They have temper tantrums if they don’t get their own way.

You can’t have a level-headed conversation to avoid conflict.

You feel responsible for your parents’ happiness.

They misinterpret conversations and then react childishly.

Your parents are so needy, you never felt as if you could leave home.

They overreact to ordinary situations which make you feel insecure.

Their two emotional states are blowing up or shutting down.

They hold grudges against you for the smallest reason.

2. Characteristics of Passive Parents

Your parents had a ‘laissez-faire’ attitude to parenting.

Passive parents leave their children to their own devices for long periods. Passive parents might be physically present, but they’re not available emotionally. They take a ‘hands off’ parenting approach.

For example, they don’t set boundaries or curfews, you’re allowed to do what you want without consequences, and they act like a friend, rather than your parent.Your parents treat you more like a best friend than a son or daughter.

They confide in you, often talking about inappropriate subjects for your age and relationship.

They are fun to be around, but you can’t talk to them about serious concerns.

They don’t care where you are or who you are with.

Your parents frequently leave you on your own.

There is a complete lack of discipline.

They are more interested in their lives than parenting you.

They avoid conflict and sweep difficult situations under the rug.

3. Characteristics of Driven Parents

Your parents were controlling and cold towards you.

Did you have limited control over your choices and actions growing up? All driven parents share one common thing; they know what’s best for you. Consequently, the attention you get depends on how well you are living up to their ideal image of a child.

Driven parents are perfectionists. They are not receptive to your needs, rather they’re focused on what they want you to achieve.You must act like the perfect family all the time.

They can’t handle you unless you are perfect.

They have to be right all the time.

There’s an inability to negotiate or compromise.

If you say no to them, they will go ballistic.

There’s no accountability when they do something wrong.

Everything is black or white, or right or wrong with them.

They must be in charge and in control.

4. Characteristics of Rejecting Parents

Your parents acted as if they never wanted children.

If you ever wondered why your parents had children at all, it’s possible that rejecting parents raised you. Rejecting parents don’t seem to want to be involved with their kids.

Rejecting parents are like passive parents, in that they also take a hands-off approach, but unlike passive parents, your presence is noticeably irritating to them. They wish you weren’t there. Rejecting parents can be quite nasty.They tease you or make jokes about you and do not stop when you get upset.

You never spend time with your parents.

They threaten to leave or kick you out during disagreements.

You try hard to please them.

They brush over your feelings, changing the subject because they don’t care.

You learn not to bother them about your problems.

You feel like a lodger in your own home.

They downplay your emotions, but theirs are important.

The Consequences of Growing up with Emotionally Immature Parents

Growing up with Emotional Parents

Being raised by emotional parents would be chaotic and unpredictable. You had no stability because you never knew what was going to happen next.

This sense of unease and anxiety has followed you into adulthood. You find any kind of stress unbearable, and you’ll do anything to keep the peace. You may end up as a people-pleaser or someone that always puts others before your own needs.

Growing up with Passive Parents

Having no boundaries or consequences may seem like the perfect childhood to some, but it’s not. Children need limits. Parents set rules to keep their kids safe. Being strict shows a level of interest and a willingness to be involved in their children’s lives.

Passive parents may produce adults with low self-esteem who are prone to depression. They can become trapped in abusive relationships because they don’t value their self-worth.

Growing up with Driven Parents

Children raised by driven parents have learned that love is conditional on someone else’s goals and idea of perfection. Now, as adults, they can end up being overly critical of themselves and others. They demand perfection in their relationships and can’t settle for less.

There’s also an increased risk of obsessive or compulsive behaviors, such as alcoholism, as they try to live up to their parents’ expectations.

Growing up with Rejecting Parents

Children of rejecting parents learn early on their parents don’t want them. There’s no love or affection growing up and this can affect children in two ways; they can become needy and crave attention, or they are hostile and reject intimacy like their parents did.

Or they can switch between the two. Either way, they have trouble maintaining healthy relationships.

How to Heal from Emotionally Immature Parents

If you identify with any of the above emotionally immature parents, the next step is to heal yourself from the damage they have inflicted on you.

“Such a parent can probably never fulfill your childhood vision of a loving parent. You can’t win your parent over, but you can save yourself.”

-Lindsay C GibsonSurround yourself with people that love and value you.

Go to therapy or join support groups.

Practice self-care to increase your confidence.

Do things that make you happy and not what you think makes others like you.

Set boundaries and learn to say no to people without feeling you’ve let them down.

Identify any triggers (what makes you angry/upset) and work towards understanding the causes.

Final thoughts

You may identify with one or more of the four emotionally immature parents, but that doesn’t mean you cannot change and move away from their influence. Recovering from their toxic behavior is a journey of self-discovery. It takes time and won’t happen overnight.

Christ consciousness cannot align with the lower resonating energy

Christ consciousness cannot align with the lower resonating energy

The Arcturian Group

Channel: Marilyn Raffaele

Posted on December 3, 2023

 

 

Welcome dear readers.

You are entering into a season during which much of the world celebrates the birth of the master teacher Jesus. It is important to remember that the Christmas story is every person's story and not just that of one man. The Christ (Light of Spiritual consciousness) can only be born into a consciousness emptied (the stable) of personal ego and beliefs based in duality, separation and two powers. Because this state of consciousness is already full, the higher frequencies of the real Self cannot flow--there is "no room at the Inn".
​
The early days of every sincere spiritual journey usually includes a period of personal "set backs" and problems that may manifest physically, emotionally, mentally, or even spiritually. Because the higher frequencies of Christ consciousness cannot align with a consciousness already filled with lower resonating energy the clearings begin often serving to dismantle the seeker's three dimensional belief system.

This is what is meant by the "dark night of the soul". This period can be extremely painful as the seeker watches many of the beliefs he/she has build their life on crumble. However it is always temporary if not resisted because once the false concept of something is eliminated, its reality can begin to manifest. The clearing out of all that is old and false is necessary for moving to the next step of the evolutionary journey. Every person experiences their own personal clearing process based on their state of consciousness and energies needing to clear.
​
Never feel that somehow you have failed if all hell seems to break loose in your life. Consider every experience regardless of how difficult or devastating, as a graduation because these experiences serve to move you out of and beyond a state of consciousness you have outgrown. Many of the energies now clearing were added to over lifetimes and have become firmly established in your belief system making them difficult to release because they are familiar even when recognized as being old energy.
​
Allow the process dear ones, always trusting that your Higher Self (the you that has never forgotten ONEness ) is in charge and not the personal ego sense of you that believes it must do this or do that in order to be spiritual. You can do all the reading, classes, and activities you feel you need to do in order to more deeply evolve into who and what you now know you are but it is the Higher Self that determines your readiness as well as what experiences may be needed to get you there.
​
It may seem as if nothing is happening in your quest for deeper realization, but know that the moment you were ready for and consciously began a search for truth, you consciously or unconsciously stated your intention to spiritually evolve. At this point "the train leaves the station" and does not stop until the destination is reached even when there are stops and bumps along the way or you decide you want to get off.
​
Outer "spiritual" activities indicate an intention to evolve and are important steps up to a certain point, but there comes a time at which every seeker must move beyond activities designed to bring them closer to God in order to move beyond the sense of separation these activities represent and into an awareness of self and all life as already one with God. This is the difference between metaphysics and organized religion (separation) and mysticism (oneness).
​
Your work is to rest in an awareness of oneness, trust that you are being guided in every moment, and allow the process. Release all concepts of what spirituality is or must look like. Surrender any remaining beliefs derived from images of "saints" engulfed in light and with eyes skyward promoting the idea that they are better, holier, and closer to God than you. It is time to move on from the preachers, experts, articles, and even channels that tell you that you are "less than" and must be "saved". You have never not been "saved".
​
No one can avoid the constant inner pull toward deeper awareness even when or if it is on a three dimensional level. As an individualization of Divine Consciousness, every person is automatically drawn to once again experience their wholeness and will seek it in accord with their state of consciousness. Even the murderer believes he is somehow making his life more whole by his actions.
​
Every person is already self sustained and maintained, whole and complete, cause and effect, abundant, intelligent, harmonious, and infinite, etc. etc. but the density and resulting hypnotism of being in three dimensional energy blocks this awareness from most. The evolutionary journey is nothing more than the process of getting out of your own way and allowing these already present qualities of Source/God/Divine Consciousness to flow into expression--the Christmas story.
​
Trust is often difficult because humans have been programmed to beliefs of separation throughout their many lifetimes. Almost everyone is born carrying energies of fear, distrust, and separation causing them to automatically carry a sense of distrust throughout life. When living in three dimensional energy it is wise, practical, and necessary to distrust and question situations and individuals but at the same time as a spiritually awakened person it is important to remember that fear and distrust are facets of separation energy.
​
Life lived in three dimensional energy is not easy and not for the fainthearted which is why you who are spiritually evolved were considered strong and brave enough to be a part of and contribute to earth's ascension process. Not everyone who wanted to be on earth at this time was allowed to come. You came to clear all remaining old energy for yourself as well as for the world and by doing so lift earth's collective consciousness to a new and higher level. You are doing it.
​
The journey gets easier as the long carried and comfortable old baggage drops away. Issues once considered important start to feel unimportant. You begin leaving behind the do's and don't s, rights and wrongs, must dos and must not do, sins and not sin, good and bad. The rules you were taught based in duality, separation, and two powers begin to crumble and you discover that life becomes easier when you are aligned with reality.

You find that without conscious thought you have become more understanding, patient, loving, and kind because you have removed the blocks and opened the door to your own Divine Consciousness allowing IT to flow as you. Things, events, people, solutions, and situations that are fulfilling and of a high level begin to unexpectedly show up. Things that you could not have asked for because you did not know about them. Fulfillment is the true nature of SELF.

You are, always have been, and always will be Divine Spiritual Being in spite of any and all present or past appearances to the contrary.

It’s Over

Posted on October 2, 2023

Dear Ones,

You climbed up the mountain and down into the depths of your fears. You shifted your life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet, you feel lost, as if there is something you forgot or denied.

And so it is that you begin exploring your last vestiges of fear. Not because you have to but because you are dedicated to denying all that was before.

Before your earth entrance into this lifetime, you assumed you would open the door so those following could enter a life of joy and laughter. Instead of claiming life in all its glory, you would be the forerunners of what was possible.

You are surprising yourself in ways you did not anticipate – waiting for the good times to end, lessen, or disappear. Instead, your life continues to expand in ways you never expected.

In your 3D world, you enjoyed bits and pieces of your life. But those bits and pieces were far less interesting or fun than you are now experiencing. So you wait for the good times to end. Not because you want them to end but because you are unfamiliar with ongoing joy.

Even those uncomfortable or unpleasant pieces somehow turn out better than you expect or shift in ways you could not conceive.

Not only have you arrived at your new world, you are beginning to thrive. Your deeply ingrained expectations that the fear or anger will return and eventually dominate your life once again never seem to happen. And you are a bit frightened that such is true.

How can your life continue on this joy trajectory? Surely, you must have to pay a price somewhere, somehow. Yet, that fear price never seems to be collected, which is frightening. Because even now, you cannot imagine an ongoing life of joy.

It is time for you to acknowledge that what was is no more. That those times that should be frightening are merely a blip on your emotional screen. That whatever you fear fades away into nothingness. You have fully arrived.

Some of you counter that last statement with thoughts of a terrible thing that happened to you. And we of the Universes respond with how much of that terrible piece was because you did not trust your inner voice but instead capitulated to what used to be?

You continue trying to frighten yourself. Not because you need to, but because that is what feels most comfortable. For some, your new joy is frightening. “When will it end?” “If I do that, will my life return to fear?” “This life of joy can’t be real.” And on and on with doubt and needless fear.

It is over. Your fear life is done. It is as if you have billions of dollars and worry about having enough money to buy food. It is over.

Not only has your new life of joy begun, but you have moved yourself and the earth further along the joy continuum than even we of the Universes thought possible in one lifetime.

It is over. All that remains is your ability to fully enjoy your labor’s glorious and joyful fruits. So be it.

Forecast August 2023

Forecast August 2023

Intuitive Astrology

By Tanaaz

Posted on August 1, 2023

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 releasing, clearing, and letting go. All that is no longer resonant with our being will be up for release, and once we reach the month’s end, we will likely find ourselves wading through some empty spaces.

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 sluggish feeling. We may feel like we are moving in circles, or perhaps having to go back over things we thought we had already dealt with. 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 and with deliberate intention.

Don’t be in a rush to finalize things this month. Instead, go with the pace of how the Universe wants you to flow. If you keep hitting brick walls, you don’t have to push through, instead, you can take a few steps back, admire the view, sit in anything that is uncomfortable, and then wait for the right next action to find you. This passive state is not powerless, in fact, it is highly empowering, and this is even doubly so when retrograde energies are flowing.

August 2023 also brings some power days where we are likely to feel energized and uplifted. The Lionsgate 88 Portal on August 8, the Venus Star Point on August 13, plus the meeting of the Sun and Regulus on August 21-23, are three power times in the month where we can harness some high vibrational energy. These are also days we can connect with some lightness and ease and perhaps feel some respite from the heaviness of the retrogrades.

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 feels to be a gentle, guiding force, taking our hand and revealing to us all that is just no longer a fit for our highest well-being. Soak up the healing energy that is circulating and channel it into your being, especially if you are feeling dysregulated or are called to let go of something meaningful. Aquarius is an air sign, which means we may feel a lot of energy and emotions centered around our heads. It will be important to avoid the mental clutter and instead, bring ourselves into a state of balance. As this is one of two Full Moons for the month, whatever is stirred under this Full Moon may only be part of the story, more of the story is likely to be revealed at the end of the month under the Blue Moon. You can get your full forecast for the Aquarius Full Moon here.

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, and when it enters retrograde, it tends to reveal where we haven’t been truly listening. During the shadow phase, we can start to get little clues as to what we have been ignoring, putting off, or refusing to pay attention to.

August 8: Lionsgate 88 Portal

The Lionsgate Portal honors the rising of Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. As Sirius rises, it is reborn, and we too, can feel the rebirth of our own Spirit energy. This rebirth of our Spirit energy is enhanced by the numerology of 88. The Number 8 represents infinite potential, and meditating and working with the number is believed to activate our DNA. We can take the incredible, uplifting energies of Sirius and merge them with the numerology of the number 8 to fully harness the potential of this portal. The Lionsgate Portal also has ties to the Sphinx in Egypt and the lost city of Atlantis. You can read more on this here.

August 9: Venus Retrograde in Leo Square Uranus in Taurus

Venus Retrograde and Uranus will be in a volatile angle with each other. There could be some surprising news on this day around a relationship in your life. Some information may come out of the blue that can shake and rattle things. While the energy will be strongest on this day, we will feel it for at least a week around this date. If anything surprising does come into your life under this alignment, have some faith that you are being guided to awaken in a new way. Uranus is the planet of awakening, and while it is an expert in shaking things up, it does this so we can open our eyes to a new way of being. Uranus lets us see the world from a new vantage point, and even though change can be difficult at first, there is the potential to find ourselves in a better place than where we started.

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 ah-ha or awakening moments around these areas of our lives. We can gain new clarity, reach a new point of forgiveness, or find ourselves opening to a deeper love. 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. Venus Retrograde can reveal to us where we may be lacking in self-worth, where we are not living up to our values, and where we are not loving ourselves enough. Under this New Moon, we are given the opportunity to start making changes or to start thinking about how we wish to show up in the world around matters of the heart. This will be an important point in the month when we are offered the chance to do things over, wipe the slate clean, and begin again. Fresh energy will begin flowing in under this New Moon too, helping us to break free from any sluggish energies from the past.

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 portal of energy. We can use Regulus energy to bring success to our ventures, to open to abundance, and to activate and align our crown chakras. Regulus holds the energy of opportunity, so set an intention around whatever opportunities you would like to create for yourself and know they are all possible. This is a fantastic, high-energy portal that we can also use to bring more joy, happiness, and health into our lives. You can read more on this here.

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. We may feel inspired to clear out the closets or create more structure within our surroundings. It is also a great time of the year to bring attention to our health and how we can create more well-being in all areas of our lives.

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. In mythology, it was considered the messenger of the gods. Mercury helps us to think clearly and communicate concisely. It also rules over technology, transport, and all forms of media. When Mercury enters retrograde, its energy moves to more of an internal state rather than an external one. Mercury Retrograde is a time to communicate with ourselves first and to get clear about how we think and feel before we express this to others. Mercury Retrograde can also reveal information or insights that were hiding, or that were not in our conscious awareness. For this reason, it is always best to wait before Mercury emerges from its retrograde journey to have important conversations, sign contracts, and book travel. Of course, life doesn’t always go to plan, so if it’s not possible to wait, trust in the timing of the Universe.

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 more sluggish. Time may feel like it’s moving slowly or fast, or perhaps both! Uranus is the planet of change and awakening, and when it travels retrograde, we are usually invited to go over the changes we have recently experienced and if there are any adjustments we need to make.

August 30: Pisces Blue Super Full Moon

It only happens once in a Blue 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. The Pisces Full Moon has a dreamy, ethereal quality to it. It may be hard for us to think with our logical minds and easier for us to get swept up in our emotions. While being close to our emotions can be a valuable thing, we may have to be mindful of allowing our emotions to overwhelm us. This Full Moon also has strong purge energy, so we may find ourselves guided to release and let go of toxic situations. Saturn, the Master Teacher planet, is also active under this Full Moon, so we may find ourselves on the receiving end of some tough lessons. More to come on this soon!
