A month of Stepping into Intuitively aligned New Beginnings

Welcome to this month’s forecast — a blend of astrology, numerology, tarot, and spiritual guidance to help you tune in, realign, and navigate the energy ahead. Let’s dive into what this month has in store.

ASTROLOGY & NUMEROLOGY

August is a Universal 8 Month that carries the vibration of the number 8, a powerhouse of courage, abundance, and personal power, all within the bigger story of a Universal 9 Year. This month continues to expose abuses of power in the world but also encourages each of us to step into our strength, set boundaries, and dream bigger. It’s a time to take control of your own direction while releasing old patterns that no longer serve.

August 8 – Lion’s Gate Portal (8/8)

Every year on 8/8, the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius, creating a gateway of abundance, spiritual awakening, and manifestation.

August 9 – Full Moon in Aquarius (16°

This Full Moon brings truth to the surface, asking us to release illusions and step into authenticity.

August 11 – Mercury Direct in Leo

Mercury stations direct after its retrograde, lifting the fog of delays and miscommunication.

August 12 – Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer

One of the most fortunate alignments of the year.

August 22 – Sun Enters Virgo

The Sun shifts into Virgo, bringing focus to organisation, health, and daily routines

August 23 – New Moon in Virgo (0°)

A fresh start arrives at the very first degree of Virgo — a true all‑or‑nothing energy.

TAROT GUIDANCE – Cards used: ‘The Magician Tarot Deck’ by Rose Monaco

Overall August Message

August is a month of deep release and soul renewal. The energy asks you to gently let go of old chapters, release any lingering disappointments, and trust that the path ahead is guiding you to something more aligned. By leaning into your intuition and inner wisdom, you create space for clarity, fresh inspiration, and the opportunities your soul has been calling in.

Beginning of August – Transition & 8 of cups

August opens with a call to release what no longer serves you and courageously walk toward the life your soul is asking for.

Lions Gate – Magician, The Hermit, The Moon

Lion’s Gate invites you to turn inward, trust your intuition, and consciously create from your soul’s deepest wisdom.

The Middle of the Month – 5 of Cups. Justice, 2 of Wands

Mid‑August asks you to release past disappointments, see the truth clearly, and make bold choices for your future.

The End of the Month – 7 of Cups, 3 of Swords, Ace of Wands

The month closes by clearing confusion and heartache, making space for a fresh spark of inspiration to lead the way.

In this heartfelt episode, we dive deep into the many faces of grief. From the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the quiet mourning of a version of ourselves we’ve outgrown.

Grief can feel overwhelming and isolating, but it’s also a sacred part of the human experience. When we allow ourselves to feel it fully and honour it, healing begins and the pain can eventually soften into peace.

In this conversation, Rose and Janine explore how to carry the love and the light of what we’ve lost into the life we’re still living.

In this episode, they also answer three powerful listener questions:

1. Early Grief as a 'Normal': What happens when grief begins in childhood and becomes the emotional baseline? How do we recognise it and move forward from it?

2. Grief & Numerology: How your Life Path number in numerology might reflect how you process and navigate grief.

3. Divorce & Collective Grief: Finding yourself surrounded by grief while processing your own, especially through the ending of a long-term marriage and how to begin reclaiming light again.

This was a powerful and emotional episode to record, but such an important one. We hope it reminds you that you're not alone and that grief, while deeply personal, is also something we can gently hold and heal through together.

You are allowed to feel it all and still move forward, one moment at a time.

“Grief is a part of the journey but it’s not the end of the story. You’re still here. You’re still breathing. Still becoming and that’s what matters.”

Thank you for listening to our podcast.
