Energetic Theme | August: The Midas Touch + The Moment
(originally published on SUN+MAMA)
You know when something arrives in your life but you’re not sure it’ll stay? The old “it’s too good to be true” or “what the heck is this” thoughts start to roll around in your head. Welcome to eclipse season. We’re in the thick of it. Just over the halfway hurdle and heading toward our final affair on August 11th. 6 planets are in retrograde. Yes, Mercury the worker bee and master of the world’s nitty gritty is one of them. Yet, all we seem to be able to focus on is this delivery. This thing that has come into our lives. We watch it. Stare at it. Circle it slowly with folded arms. Squint one eye and squat down low. Trying to understand what it is we have manifested and certainly what it is we’re meant to do with this new being in our lives.
This is successive transformation.
The potent and heady time that swirls around the 8-week long period of the eclipses, and is heightened by a sassy Sun in Leo and the 6 planet retrograde party we often feel they forgot to invite us to. But pause. Right there. The planets didn’t forget. Eclipse season isn’t an accident. That invitation you have been waiting for. The approval you seek to let you join on in. The restless pacing you’ve been doing outside the door. They didn’t forget to invite you. The planets don’t grant approval only to those whose they wish to align with or only to those who seek to align with them. Silly, you forgot. You have a standing invitation with the energies of the Universe. And no paper or post is involved. It’s your birth right. Any and all who are created and folded from the cosmos of the Universe are welcome to join. It’s time to squash those “it’s too good to be true’s” and wake up and honor that it is in fact already here.
All you have to do is tap in.
July’s Knight of Cups has delivered. And as expected it was emotional. It was intense. And at times downright confusing. The dear, young Knight brought a lot. More than we expected. 9 Cups. One knight carried 9 solid gold cups into our lives. Filled with all the riches and the splendor we need at this time. All that is fulfilling. Jewels upon mountains of blessings. Thank you, dear Knight, thank you.
The planets will slowly pop back into place throughout the remaining months of the year. But there is no need to wait until then. You can start working now. Working. Cultivating. Kneading. Playing. Understanding. Learning. The new energies and their gifts and lessons now. The week following the July 27th Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is a time of new beginnings. Intense clearing. And feelings of floating on air. Like our 9 of Cups, you may just want to sit back and revel in all the magic of the moment. And do. This is the new phase we have been prepping for. The turn of the page. The beginning of a new chapter. The successive transformation we all need. And an opportunity to manifest and do all that we want with the “isness” we have been delivered. This “isness” can be described as all that is in this present moment. Everything we need at this time.
And don’t think the eclipse fun is over. We still have a Partial Solar party on the 11th with a potent blend of astro potion dazzled in between. So lay back. Arms folded in contentment. A soft smile on your lips. And giggle. Give yourself a chuckle. Bask in all you have accomplished. Embraced. Achieved. Accepted. And received. The Universe is with you on this one.
It’s up to you to believe.
August and eclipse blessings…
