This month's energy is larger than life.
And of course we are in Leo season.
Would you expect anything less?
Hello, I'm Kari Samuels, your Intuitive Counselor and Happiness
Coach with your August forecast.
And this month begins with a shebang.
On August 1st, we have an extraordinary conjunction between Mars and Uranus
in Taurus, conjunct the North Node of the moon, otherwise known
as the Lunar Nodes of Destiny.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, Mars is the planet of action and it's empowering.
It's about how you embody energy, it's aggressive and sometimes warlike.
It's masculine energy.
Uranus Is the planet of liberation and freedom and breakthrough consciousness
and innovation and progress.
It brings swift and sudden changes, oftentimes shocking.
And the North Node of the moon is about where we are headed as a collective
to transform our karmic patterns into our dharma, into our destiny, where we
are learning to find new ways of being.
Now, these are all in Taurus.
This is a once in a lifetime event.
The last time these planets came together in Taurus was 1855.
It's not going to happen for at least another 250 years.
This is big.
And this isn't just like a one and done type of situation.
These are paradigm shifting changes that are happening now.
In case you haven't noticed, the world is totally, really going bonkers and it's
changing and things are transforming.
So this energy can be shocking.
There's a lot of truths coming to our consciousness that can be
ultimately liberating because of course the truth sets us free.
These are system-changing paradigm-shifting kinds of energies.
And so that's what we're going through right now as a collective globally.
And in you, you are going through a paradigm shift.
Things are changing and they will never be the same again.
This North Node where these planets are conjunct is opposing
the South Node of the moon.
Now the South Node of the moon represents our collective karma,
where we are moving away from.
And these karmic patterns are habits that have created
imbalances that are hard to shake.
And that's why this energy's so dramatic.
Right?
So as a collective and you as a person are shaking and shifting your
paradigm, your whole belief systems is transforming and we're really
going through an inner revolution.
We're learning about Taurus.
Taurus is all about love and beauty.
And instead of giving yourself away and getting caught up in people's trauma
and drama, Taurus teaches you to be self-sufficient - to value yourself.
It's also associated with money and how your self worth affects your net worth.
How you value money, how you value resources, including
your time and your energy.
It's about art and culture and beauty and love and taking care of this planet.
And that's what we're all waking up to right now.
And so, as we're doing that, things are really shifting beneath our feet in ways
that feel dramatic and sometimes scary.
These are transformations that are designed to help us towards love, beauty,
and stewarding resources in a way that really honors your spirit and honors the
earth and honors the beauty of the world.
And what's in you.
So that's what's happening.
Tthis is big.
And of course it's big.
We are in Leo season!
🦁
The Sun is in Leo until August 22nd.
And Leo teaches you to shine and radiate.
It's ruler is the Sun.
So this is about not being shy about who you are.
Its about taking credit for your gifts and shining more brightly radiating.
Because that is a gift to the world.
Leo rules, the heart.
So it's about getting you to listen to your heart and to honor
love, and what's in your heart.
In numerology, August, 2022 is a 14 universal month and 14 is associated
with media and groups and speaking, and sharing your gifts loud and proud.
So that's a lot of what we're learning this month.
Now, of course, because 14 is a karmic lesson number we have
more karmic lessons right now.
There are a lot of these karmic patterns coming to surface.
And karmic patterns are ways that we have been living out of
balance habits that we're stuck in that need to be transformed.
To create more balance in our lives and in the world.
And in the case of the number 14, what that's designed to teach you is
where you've been dependent on other people or restrictive circumstances
and even sometimes on substances.
And that can mean your phone or computers, any ways that you have
been dependent in unhealthy ways.
And there could be a lot of ways that you are dependent on people or circumstances
where you're sacrificing that part of your soul when you're doing things just
for money or lifestyle, but there's a part of you that doesn't feel right.
You know, right?
So that's what we're learning this month about to let go of our
dependencies on unhealthy resources.
And we're seeing that in the world with this karmic south node, that
all those planets are ,with gas and oil and resources that are
keeping us dependent in unhealthy ways that are hard for the planet.
Or money and spending habits.
All these things are coming to the surface right now in the world.
Things are coming to the surface to shift our paradigms, ultimately for liberation
and within your life, you are recognizing ways that you have kept yourself stuck,
that you have created situations in your life that have restricted you.
And now it's time to set yourself free.
That is what this energy is about, and it's not going to be easy.
We also have this incredible full moon on August 11th.
And 11 is a Master Number that brings more light.
And so all of this energy is designed to bring light and
when Full Moons are illuminated.
They bring light to things that were in our unconscious.
And so on the 11th, that full moon is a fixed square.
A fixed T square, which means we have two sets of opposing
planets that are in fixed signs.
And fixed signs really want to dig in.
So we have all this tension of opposing energies in the world and within
you that just don't want to give in.
And eventually we have to learn what to let go of, where to compromise, where
to find that balancing middle point.
That is all what this month's energy is teaching you.
Remember, the truth will set you free.
So with that, I have three action steps to help you navigate
this incredibly dynamic energy.
Your first action step is to take stock of where you have restricted yourself.
Where in your life are you keeping yourself stuck?
In ways that you can transform, but you've been afraid.
In your relationships are there things you're doing for money or in your career
that are really inhibiting your wellbeing, but you haven't changed them yet?
Are there addictive habits that you have that are siphoning up your
resources that could be liberated to move you forward in life?
Are you giving yourself away to the people in your life?
Or the circumstances in your life where you are not getting what you need or
desire in return?Really take stock of where those areas of your life are.
Go through everything and be really honest with yourself, because that's
what this energy is demanding.
Now, your second action step is to liberate yourself from
restrictive circumstances.
So that means if you are addicted to your phone or to the computer, or
you're spending too much time with television or games or whatever it
is, how can you free up your time?
Or if there are people in your life...I can't even tell you how many readings
I've done when I was doing readings.
People stayed in marriages for their kids or for the money or for
the lifestyle, but at what price?
Right?
So really it's time to make changes that feel good in your
heart that are good for you.
Not good for what you think this circumstanc is.
Take more time to do things that are nourishing for you instead of those
things that are siphoning time from you.
And if you have a career that is sucking your soul dry, take
some steps to transition into something more fulfilling for you.
And now with that, your third action step is to BE BOLD.
I know in the past I've told you to take baby steps, but right now, what
this energy is calling for, especially with the sun and Leo until the 22nd and
this Mars energy, this is very fiery.
This is teaching you to shine more brightly.
To live large, to believe in yourself and to be bold.
Also with that 14 that we have right now, which is very much associated
with the media, if you want to put yourself out there in the world, Do it!
And you know, we don't have any personal planets in retrograde this month.
So this is a great time to do things like that.
And 14 is also associated with learning things.
So if there's something you want to invest in, in yourself, if you want to learn
more about yourself or another craft or any way you can shine more brightly.
One thing you can do is to ask yourself what would the most confident me do?
If I was confident, if I had so much courage that I wasn't afraid
of failing, or what people think, or being rejected, what would I do?
So embody that most confident version of yourself and take steps with that.
Embody that energy.
