Celebrate August

    August has a variety of special days and celebrations. The 7th is Lighthouse Day, the 24th is both Vesuvius Day and Pluto Demoted Day, expanding our awareness.
    People are celebrated, too: Middle Child Day is on the 13th ; World Humanitarian Day on the 19th; and on the 29th, Individual Rights Day. Girlfriends are honoured on the 1st; coastguards on the 4th; youth on the 12th and litigating lawyers on the 31st.
    Just like other months, food marketeers have adopted August days: Watermelon Day is observed on the 3rd; Mustard Day on the 6th; Spumoni on the 21st, and Trail Mix on the 31st.
    In this Nine year*, when many cycles and projects and even relationships are winding down to natural conclusions, August illustrates the flow of life. This is the month when farmers are beginning to harvest what they planted in the Spring, and the concept of reaping what we sow is an important karmic lesson for us all.
    The Eight Energy of August adds with the Nine of the year to make 17, the digits of which add up to Eight, and Eight's symmetrical and balancing influence is present throughout the month, as life flows forward, with or without our awareness.

Personal Years
    To calculate the Number for your Personal Year, see the examples below.
    I am currently in a Four Personal Year. The predominant energy of August requires that I work at creating of my Future. This is a time when foundation-building is the best possible use of my effort to assure future success.
    In a Five Personal Year, there are many changes and opportunities for growth. August asks that you stop moving and evaluate what resources will be necessary in the near future, and stay still long enough to prepare yourself for change.
    A Six Personal Year is molded to the shape of Service. This August there may be alterations to the methods you are accustomed to, or the goals for which you are aiming.  Helping Life to progress is always about change.
    In your Seven Personal Year, you have been given many chances to be responsible and dutiful. As you answered the call, you have set an example from which others will learn, for you are in the role of Spiritual teacher.
    If 2016 is your Eight Personal Year,  you are in that flow of energy that connects us with the Unseen. August may bring some unexpected new learning that helps you to feel more centred and connected to your soul's destiny.
    In a Nine Personal Year, the energies of completion in your cycle are reinforced and celebrated by the ease which comes to your activities. You are in the correct place with the correct people: All is as it should be.
    A One Personal Year is identified with new beginnings and new directions. The coming month will provide you simple, rewarding tasks which can easily be accomplished with your natural talents and wisdom. Be vigilant for the gift this opportunity brings.
    If this is your Two Personal Year you have likely welcomed new people into your world this year. The ebbs and flows of August energies may help you adjust how these, and more new relationships, express in your daily life.
    If you are in a Three Personal Year you are in a time of innovation and novelty. In August, fascinating people will cross your path, and it is your choice to invite them into your circle and benefit from them,
Everyone
     No matter which Personal Year number we are living in 2016, the loops of the Eight are a visual for the energetic flow that is with us through August. This is a great time to release that which does not serve us, knowing that we will create space for something new. When we engage with our specific and personalized Numbers, every moment is a chance to learn and grow, and move towards the lives we have intended for ourselves.

*2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9

*** To calculate your Personal Year Number for 2016: Add the number of the Day you were born, to the number of the month you were born, and then add Eight.
Keep adding until you have only one digit.
For example: my birthday is 28 March, so I add 2+8 = 10, and 1+0 = 1 +3 for March = 4 + 9 for 2016 totals 13. 1+3 = 4, my Personal Year number for 2016

If you were born on the 27 February, you would add 9+2+9= [20, 2+0=20] Two Personal Year for 2016
26 April 8+4+9= Three Personal Year
25 October 7+1+9 = Eight Personal Year
and so on.
