11-18 august ◆ light it up

Now that the pressure valve from June has opened a bit, the beginning of August offers a sigh of relief. We open with chance to feel good about ourselves and who we are in the world. This pleasant opportunity can be used to your advantage by amplifying your personal energy into the world around you. If you are beginning a creative project, or just feeling the itch to put yourself out there, this is the moment to shine. This week starts with a shift in energy that may enliven your drive to create or give voice to silent things. Watch for unexpected situations or outcomes to arise. These may be unwanted, but look for the silver lining. This warm breeze of change may not be entirely joyful, but the somber mood will pass by the middle of the week. Tuesday into Wednesday will spotlight relationships, personal interactions, and that which we value. It will likely be a lovely time to spend with those we care about. Meeting someone this week would not be surprising, but it is possible they are just experiencing the social boost of this week. If you have been having troubles in love, this is the turning point. A knight will not be riding in to save the day, but the issue will reach culmination. Watch for an adjustment to your values. This could be as simple as wanting a shift toward minimalism in your living space or it could signal something greater like a reorientation in your work-life balance. Take some time this week to investigate your desires and see what drives them. You may be paying a higher price than you think. The illumination at the end of this week is an idealogical one. Watch for a flash of genius in the lightning strike of Friday afternoon. Take a mindful approach to this dreamy day and see where going with the flow takes you. This is a time to test your ideas and see if they bend or break. The report might have already come in, in which case, back into the lab.
