Numerology/Astrology for 8/4/17
8/4/17 is the number 4. Foundations are always solid when there are four points to ground into the dream. No one can do it alone. Each of us is dependent on the love, support, grace, energy, belief, and faith of others to manifest our dreams. Today, take a look at how many in your life have consistently tried to show up for you. Also notice how much those people have tried to give you the space and time to figure out your path, direction, and purpose. Those that truly love you listen and give you acceptance no matter what choices you make. Those that can really contribute to your dream in a neutral way are not attached to whether you include them in your dream or not. Remember, your attachment to a particular way of doing things is the root of suffering and limits how the universe can give you direction towards your dream.
The final in a set of three squares between Jupiter and Pluto occurs today. Jupiter first formed a square with Pluto in November and then connected again in March. Today’s exact square is the last in the set, and it is a good time to work on resolutions. This Jupiter-Pluto square stimulates ambition but be careful because you may be overreaching. You feel that if you set your sights high enough, you can achieve anything. However, treading lightly now, while it may not come naturally, is advised as it is easy to stir up opposition or to put undue pressure on yourself. You may take on too many interests, activities, or desires under this influence. Exaggerating your importance or power, either to yourself or others, should be avoided. You can be overly attached to your personal opinions or beliefs. Trying to force your beliefs on others will only lead to frustration. The tendency now is to push too hard in general and to ignore time and energy limits or important details. Recognize that you can do more. Take the time to discover how to do that. And you must be aware of handling your stress in safe, conscious, and constructive ways. Notice if your ego is attached to proving who you are in the world. Notice if you are in your ego related to not allowing others to give their gifts because you are so desperate to give yours. As this is the final aspect of the set and as Jupiter moves towards a sextile to Saturn, exact later this month, it is important to moderate yourself and get your expectations down to earth. The Moon spends the full day in practical, productive Capricorn.

Society has become addicted to quick fixes and now everyone can see that those quick fixes are not fixes at all.
Only when it is too late does society see that being told what you want to hear is not really the truth or the reality.
Only now can you see the terrible price and consequences for a lack of maturity and self-awareness.

A world locked into thinking that getting what you want all the time is a world at the edge of self-destruction.
