Maybe it’s telling of the August’s chaos as I write the monthly email four days in. As I mentioned in the July letter, the Mercury Retrograde (you okay, by the way??) was like one of those windup cars pulling back and now we are wizzing forward with great momentum. August is shooting forward, ready or not.

This month was launched with a powerful full moon, and then will pick up more speed with eclipse season.

I write to you during a moment of transition. The train has left the station and now we are settling into the ride, it’s reality sinking in, for better or for worse. This week, August 3-9, is an excellent time to check in.

You might feel like you’ve been in a timeline shift. Now, whether you subscribe to the idea that one (or many) could jump timelines or not, my guess is you woke up recently and realized you aren’t in Kansas anymore. I bet that July shifted a lot of things for you and your world view (or maybe your physical surroundings) have changed. My hope for you, no matter how disoriented they may feel, is that you see some great opportunity or new perspective in this shift.

Take this week to orient in your body.

We are all in a big transition, likely in our individual lives and definitely in the world at large. The upcoming eclipse on August 12th will shift things more. It is in Leo, which rules over our ego and identity. What came to light in the past few weeks that gave you new information around your identity? This will likely continue to evolve over the next six months (eclipses affect energy for that long).

To help you in this process, I have a 30 min yoga practice for life transitions. It includes a lot of twists to shed what no longer is needed and grounding practices to be with what is.

This rocket is continuing to launch. I’m not sure where it will end up. We have the free will to guide it in the direction we hope, we just need to work together. Take the time to be with your body if you are feeling the major shifts. They will guide you.

Scroll below for this month’s horoscopes, available for all paid subscribers. Look up both your sun and rising sign to see which resonates more.
