We are now 5 full months into this altered life-style, due in part to the covid-19 pandemic. Lives are changed or are changing with the limit of any in-person social interaction. Many jobs have been discontinued and at the same time, we are growing in sensitivity to deep long held issues of equality in our country and with the upcoming election intensifying the issues even more. “Perfect Storm” or divine timing? And “as above so below” or in this case “the external so also the internal”?
We are in review mode looking with more clarity than usual at the structure we have created collectively and individually. It is now time to re-member our creative powers as women and as humans, and dream our future into being. Once we wake-up from the state of hazy fear of being powerless or overwhelm, apathy, or burnout; we need to get to identify our purpose and direction.
Know for yourself who your friends, teachers, and supporters are in this realm and beyond. Its time to trust yourself and your inner guides. All indications are that the structure we have been used to relying on and working within, is in the process of great transformation. So it is in many cases unavailable to support us in the ways it has in the past.
For many of us, we are realizing we function better with more rest, a lighter or more focused work schedule and then lots of open space in our calendar. Our clear inner questions are bringing really quick and clear answers which allow us to take action. When we develop our relationship with ourselves, and trust ourselves; this experience is one of safety and stability amidst the chaos. It’s interesting to notice that the number five in numerology is about change, movement, and travel. In the tarot it is represented by the Chariot. It has to do with the moment we know and claim our own true power; to choose perhaps a new direction, to push past previous barriers, and to get “off-trail” if you know what I mean.
The energy for the month of August is said to be a significant shift toward cleansing and reset. We have heightened intuition and are wise to integrate it in our bodies. This is a great month to vision and set intentions, make those lists of what you now know you want to call in. Aspects of the new energy this month are continuing for the next 2 to 3 years. Find ways to stay calm and relaxed and remember you can unplug whatever information source or stimulus you choose to. This month marks a shift in power, freedom and control.
How is this showing up in your life?
Can you recognize correlations that are mentioned above?
What do you find supports your grounding and well being in this “new normal” lifestyle?
What kinds of support are working for you in your community, relationships, and inner world?
What do you need or want that might be out of reach? Are you willing to receive it?
Perhaps you can take a few minutes to journal some thoughts and feelings.
