The Angels – The Creator never intended for you to struggle. You were never designed to handle a challenge or manage your human lives alone. You were not given dreams to taunt you, nor were you given the power of higher thought to control you. Instead you were meant to acknowledge the heart, to use your minds to figure out how to support your dreams, and to exist in a beautiful dance between the two. You were designed to live in harmony within yourself… and with the rest of creation.
Sadly, this is often not the case upon your planet earth. The mind has usurped the heart’s power. Like a bad marriage, in which one partner thinks him or herself to be of more value than the other, a relationship with yourself in which the head negates heart is never pleasant. Nor conversely, is a relationship where the heart dreams but ignores the head, productive either. You were meant to live in a beautiful balance between the two.
So when you have a dream, by all means learn what you need to learn! Do what you know to do! But then dear ones, when you feel you do not know the next step, when you have “run out of options” as you like to say, when you start to lose faith in yourself, or when you begin to tire, or lose passion for what you are doing… Stop. This is not the time or place for the mind to take charge, because now it will simply start to make itself busy by finding reasons to fear, reasons to push you, or reasons to fail. Instead, this is the time, once again, to drop into the heart.
Ask yourself a simple question, “Heart what do you want to do now?” or
God what do you want for me in this moment?” The answer will almost always be simple and feasible given the reality around you.
Henry Seltzer – The astrology of August features Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Eris. It is also the case that is getting ready to turn retrograde by the end of the month, in the last degree of Virgo, although that will more poignantly affect the astrology of September.
Alexa Erickson – A diet rich in minerals is essential for a variety of bodily functions, including building strong bones and teeth, blood, skin, and hair, promoting proper nerve function, and aiding metabolic processes, like turning the food we eat into energy.
