August is the time to connect to your creativity and rekindle your creative gifts as a human being. Be careful as you tap into the power of creation and remember to make it about inspiration and expression and not validation. This way you can truly experience the gift of letting love flow for the greater good as you shine your light everywhere you go.
Your biggest gift to the world is being your true authentic self, and whether you bring a poem or a smile from someone in the supermarket, they are all of the same value to the world. Your soul has no rules or boxes for creativity and expression, it just wants to light the world through your own personal expression. You are the crayon, the world is the canvas!
August opens with a New Moon that brings a a welcome outward energy, where we are asked to pick up the staff of personal leadership, the magic wand of our creative power and start to assert ourselves in the world. This is the time to be bold and step up for the roles, we are asked to carry for the collective.
As the warm days of August unfold, the night sky prepares to dazzle us with one of its most enchanting displays: the August ‘Sturgeon Moon’ – a Full Moon in Aquarius that shines a light on the new chapter, we opened back in January in the beginning of the year–individually as well as collectively.
Aquarius in astrology is known as he sign of the water-bearer, and water is connected to the emotional world that guides us through life. Known for its innovative, humanitarian, and forward-thinking qualities, Aquarius energy encourages us to break free from conventional boundaries, think outside the box, embrace our unique individuality.
The Supermoon in Aquarius opens a new chapter as it is pouring its healing waters upon us with a clear message to us all:
Dare to be different. Shine brightly as your unique self.
It's no longer helpful to hide who you are. This is the time to step up for yourself and the significance of your own precious life. This is the time to ask for the rewards you deserve.
Throughout August, try to tap into your talents instead of focusing on meeting other people's expectations. No more hiding in the shadows; it is time to embrace your authentic self and celebrate your uniqueness. You are a precious gift to this world, and being your unique self is your greatest gift to humanity.

August Reflections
What are you grateful for?
Reflect on what has come into fruition in your own life. What are the manifestations, small and big, that have entered your life. What has come into reality, that was only a thought or a dream at the beginning of the year?
Are you being your true authentic self?
Being yourself is the greatest gift, you can give to the world. Yet so many of us hide our most beautiful parts behind layers of shame and fear of being rejected. During the month of August, reflect on ways you hide yourself because of fear of rejection. Ask your Higher Self to help you release your fears about being seen so you can be the shining star you were born to be. Your voice matters. Your creativity is a gift. Your quirky, wonderful brilliance is a gift to us all.
How can you express your creativity and emotions more?
August is the month to have more fun. Be creative in your everyday life and try to find new ways to do things, so you can enjoy more of your everyday tasks. When you are in the vibration of joy, you attract more good things to you and bring more loving people towards you. You can red more about the Power of Play here.
