Leo Season Meditation To Tend The Inner Fire
The Silent Force Of Gravity
Since this Leo season unusually draws your attention inward, use the Taurus Last Quarter Moon to assess your internal footing. Ask yourself what you need to feel more grounded. For best results, release unnecessary striving and submit to the silent force of gravity.
Reestablish Your Equilibrium
In the zodiac, earth sign Taurus reminds us of our connection to our home planet. Gravity is the natural force that binds us to it. Surrendering to gravity means accepting the reality of your circumstances and feeling anchored to a story larger than your own. This helps you stay stable despite major change. If you currently feel knocked off-kilter, engage in simple and practical tasks to reestablish your equilibrium. Also, go outside.
Astrology Forecast For August 8-16
At the Taurus Last Quarter Moon, identify and then create more space for the sources of your anchoring. As you expand your base, it becomes possible to sink into a state of reverence for the amazing planet we live on. Pause to look at the flowers, the rushing river, the mountain. Also recall relationships that have stood the test of time with a sense of gratitude. As your mind settles into stillness, you are better equipped to weather an inevitable disturbance to your tranquility.
On August 9, you may begin to realize that one of your relationships needs restructuring if it is to remain authentic. This could relate to something that started in early July. With the Moon in Gemini, you might find yourself talking it over with a casual acquaintance. Later that day, look for an opportunity to put an abstract idea into practical form. Again, conversation spurs clarity, this time with colleagues or other likeminded souls. On August 11, approach others with a little extra sensitivity and be willing to “go there” if something comes up. This sets you up for a fruitful weekend, where you may be able to get something resolved.
By August 13, get to the heart of a complicated relationship or finance issue. Like a dial on the gas stove, steadily increasing heat ramps up enthusiasm but also the possibility of inflaming a tender issue. If your reactions are over the top, simply notice and extract yourself before you lash out. Remember, volatile reactions serve as signposts to show you what needs healing. Sit with your feelings and don’t get pushed into actions you don’t truly want to take. The third of three seasonal bolts of lightning strikes August 15, waking you up to something fundamental that requires change. Why resist? It only causes more pain. Instead, welcome the unknown with an open heart at the powerful Leo New Moon on August 16.
