Numerology/Astrology for 8/16/18

8/16/18 is the number 8. The number 8 indicates that this year is one to find the balanced integration between spirit and the physical world. Bringing those two together is always challenging. The only way to do it effectively is to take the spiritual tools and find how to weave them into the reality in ways that are effective and that have a physical impact not just a psychological one. Spiritual tools are designed to uplift and to give hope. And while that is good it has created a type of “Polly-Anna” style in the psyche of many. What is critical at this time are tools that help in the “real” world and that actually make a difference here. Not just to hope that in the “next life” that there is some sort of redemption from suffering. I believe we have the money and capacity to alleviate suffering now. It is just that there are many greedy and selfish people who do not believe in the higher spiritual values, (even though they use them as a weapon when it is convenient for them to do so to get votes and to make points with people). While this number is a very high vibrating number because it represents infinity, it also has a strong formal, stern, and somewhat hard handed approach in dealing with the obvious imbalances that appear at this time. Compassion is the lesson of this number. Feeling into the suffering of others is the intent that this gives. The challenge is that today you might experience tests to your compassion because there are people that are belligerent, angry, and judgmental in your immediate environment. Show good judgement and focus by not allowing their negativity to get you off track and down. When you attempt to hold people accountable to their lack of compassion you will find that you may face abuse yourself in the form of rejection (because you do not agree with their harmful approach to life), discrimination (because of not going along with the “herd” mentality), and bullying (as they try to dissuade you off your path of truth). Know that the Universal Laws are backing you up when you choose compassion over hate.

Astrology Today

Just notice if you feel somewhat at cross-purposes today. Sometimes the day starts out with an unknowing. You are not sure the direction or what to do next. Just go with not knowing for a moment. Stay open to the possibility. Clarity arrives in its own due time.

The story line becomes more complicated and convoluted over the next few days, so pace yourself. There might be an open intensity coming your way. When passion is high often discernment is low. There are things bubbling below the surface. When others are being dramatic you cannot play the role of light and airy. You will look like an idiot or a person out of touch with reality. Stay calm but stay present and do not fall back on those patterns or habits of placating words that don’t really address the other person’s issues.

Expect the moodiness to swing wildly today. Think of it like a cloudy day that you think that at any moment it is going to pour rain, but it doesn’t. There is a tension in the air in such a time and you almost want the thunderstorm to release the building tension. But you will not get it today. Practice kindness and don’t go overboard in your praise. It will feel false and shallow.

This is a day when you need to make waves in your personal life but not externally in the “real” world. That world has enough on its hands at the moment. Dive deep inside and use the force to go places inside that you are unfamiliar with.

You know you need to be challenged and you are also feeling impatient about it. Self-motivation requires more effort than normal. This is a moment to cultivate endurance and tolerance. This is the only way to establish new habits and rituals.

Expect to have difficulty being objective or detached.

What you are afraid of is your own unloved self.
Fear is learned. It is not a part of your essential core self.
Inside you know you are an infinite being of light.
Inside you know that this is not the only reality.
