Politically, webs of intrigue try to surface in the heat
of August. There is a way through if you are willing to hold true
to what is most dear and precious to you. We will all feel as
if we are standing between the past and the future. The personal
and economic decisions made at this moment effect the coming months
in huge ways. Change is coming. So clarifying and becoming specific
as to what you want to manifest are important.
Nationally, we may feel nostalgic about the past patterns that
we wish to experience again. But life is permanently changing
regardless of how hard you want to cling to the past. How happy
you feel in this moment will be related to how kind you have been
previously to those you love and others in your life. It is a
reminder to use difficult situations as moments to practice un-kinking
that patterns of your body/mind. It is when you are the most triggered
that you have incredible opportunities to open and love into the
areas that have consistently caused pain or upset.
This is difficult to do. It takes time and discipline to not fall
into the old habits of your personality but to recognize those
as moments of tremendous growth. When you can recognize the moment
and choose some other path or way of behaving then you begin to
unwind the negative patterns that cause you and those you love
suffering.
Some may find that they need to let unhealthy attachments go,
as they are not allowing the free flow of change to manifest as
fully as you might like. In these moments you may find that you
are facing some old insecurities that are surfacing because past
patterns and people are no longer serving the emergence of this
new pattern you wish to create.
That is okay. Sometimes as we grow and evolve our friends and
support people need to change or grow with us. But you cannot
make others do what you want. Each person shifts and opens in
their own perfect time.
This month let the past go. It was great! But don’t miss
how marvelous this new pattern might be by holding on to feelings
and people that have been a part of your past. Love them all.
Appreciate them all and allow your heart to expand and open into
a new place where others can also connect to your light and gifts.
You are creating a web of reality around this segment of your
life. It is time to pay attention to the details but to not get
so worried that you chew to pieces the thing that you are creating
by becoming overwhelmed with this new energy.
You are attempting to find ways to merge your mystical intuitive
powers and perceptions with your rational mental perspectives.
There is a way for them to work together. Some things should not
and cannot be rationally explained by the mind. They can work
none-the-less. Within each realm are different rules of reality
and perception. They are all valid and all can work to expand
you beyond what you know or beyond blind faith. But you must be
willing to be aware that you are more than just your mental constructs
and beliefs. You are more than a bunch of magical dreams and thoughts.
When you do not limit your experiences to what you want to be
true and what you want to prove is correct in your reality, then
something tremendous can happen. You begin to understand that
you are a vast and varied multidimensional being that needs, wants,
and desires all levels of experiences to find wholeness.
