August is a particularly potent month for growth and transformation. We're in the midst of the Lion's Gate Portal (7/26-8/12), a powerful time for manifestation and abundance. It’s a great time to get focused on where you’ve evolved so you can pinpoint where you’re going! 

Mercury retrograde on August 5th will bring about changes and challenges. Embrace these opportunities for growth - it is a chance to rewire, upgrade, and bring out the glitches that need to be worked through to LEVEL UP! 

Leo season is a time for shining your light and expressing your creativity. Be bold, have courage, let your personality shine, and feel at home in your own skin. True self-confidence is magnetic - embrace your unique self! 

This month is about revision, editing, and refining your goals. How have you grown this year? What has shifted and changed for you since this time last year? 

When the Mercury Retrograde moves into Leo on August 14th, think about your heart's desires and what you're truly passionate about. Even if your goals seem unrealistic, explore them. 

The new moon on August 4th is a perfect time to set intentions for your creative self-expression and explore your passions. The full moon on August 19th may bring up emotions and fear; focus on clearing, healing and personal power. When the sun moves into Virgo on August 22nd, we shift towards practicality and grounding - prioritize organization, health and wellness.
