Numerology/Astrology for 8/22/17
8/22/17 is the number 4. The number 4 attempts to stabilize an unstable world. It reminds us that often we have to understand difficult or unpleasant tasks in order to get a job done. That often requires a degree of self-sacrifice and a deep conviction to do what is right over what is easy. We are learning how hard it is to maintain a state of neutrality when so much is happening in the world. In such times, what brings each of us back to balance is the inner-wisdom and values that we attribute to progress for the greater good and not what others with less consciousness want us to do. You have to learn when you are being manipulated and pushed into character patterns of reactive behavior that disturb your inner center. Do not expect to be passively at peace. This type of balance is hard won and courageously fought for in such complex times.
Today the planet Mars comes out from being behind the Sun. So, expect and big surge of energy and you might just have the gumption you have needed to get some big projects done. Your energy feels the shift of yesterday and now there is nothing stopping you from making the decisions that are your next step forward. There are many changes that are going to happen for all of us over the next 2 years. Where we are headed is anyone’s guess but know it will be very different from anything that you can mentally come up with at the moment. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Virgo, encouraging you to focus on making things work. Helping you with this goal is a trine between Mars and Saturn that stimulates productivity, attention to traditional or tried and true methods, pacing ourselves, and moderation. You finally feel more directed and purposeful, which is particularly useful and grounding after an eclipse. Pay attention to details and to be thorough in your efforts under this influence. The Sun enters Virgo this afternoon, where it will transit for one month, until September 22nd. Your focus shifts to the pieces of the puzzle–the little details of your life that need to be addressed. It’s now time to take care of practical concerns. Tending to the details of daily living helps free you from the external chaotic stress resulting from the world news. This is an ideal month to get organized, do detail work, and improve communications on the job.

Quote

People use words and show you
what they believe are their weapons.
But life is much more like chess
than Dungeons and Dragons.
You must contemplate your moves
rather than react to those moves.
You can listen to those words
that others use and then recognize
a pattern of bluffing, real aggression
and threat, authenticity, and caring.
Many things in life are not what they seem.
Words can be especially deceptive
when the person using them
has the intention to create
an advantage over others.
Listen, evaluate, feel into,
and then bring your words
into the mix
with conscious clarity
and intention.

Let the energy of the eclipse propel all of us forward with new light and clarity. Let the energy of Mars that is coming out from behind the Sun over the past few months give us the extra energy and drive that we will need to move forward. May the miracle of life that the wonder that came with the eclipse carry us into a new hopeful potential for mankind and this world.
