Energy Forecast for AUGUST 2024 | Keep Going!
When you reach the top of a proverbial mountain in life you look around in celebration for how far you’ve come. Then as the moment continues forward you begin to wonder where you’ll head next, for life is always moving.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide, every single month I tune into the frequency of the collective and channel the Universal messages of guidance and clarity for you. These energy forecasts, or energy updates, are a chance for you to glimpse into the energy that will be influencing your emotions, your thoughts, and your actions throughout the next month.
Whether you’ve reached the top of your proverbial mountain or you feel like you are still climbing, Spirit is urging you to keep going. You may feel as if your life has become stagnant or things aren’t happening as quickly as you desire. This is not a moment to rush into action, filled with pressure and forcefulness to try and make something happen. Instead, this month you are being encouraged to reflect on how far you’ve come and realign with the purpose that is calling you forwards.
Life is always moving. Oftentimes it means you must walk down the other side of the mountain and choose the next one you want to surmount. Life is valleys and peaks and a forever wandering and wondering through the world. It’s the choices you make that carve the path you walk. Your success is inevitable, you must simply make the decision to lead yourself forwards.
Let’s dive into the overall theme of the month and how the universal energy is influencing you.
Overall Theme of the Month
Light-Seer: 7 of Pentacles
Shadow-Seer: The Moon (reversed)
Theme: Lord - Take Charge with Authority
You find yourself standing in a field of half grown plants and the first thing in your Egoic mind says, “damn, I’m not even close yet”. You take a moment to pause, breathe deeply, then you hear Spirit flow through you providing the message, “look how far you’ve come. It wasn’t too long ago when you were dreaming about planting the seeds and now they’ve already sprouted and are continuing to grow right in front of your eyes.”
The light-seer message for August is to pause and take a moment of gratitude for how far you’ve come, and truly see the growth you’ve created for yourself. You may not be at the point of harvesting all of your dreams and desires, and yet the Universe is encouraging you to keep going. Your life is heading in the right direction, and although your biggest critic (the egoic mind and false self) may come forward trying to shame you for not being further along, you truly are creating a divine life through the lessons you’ve been learning.
This month is the perfect time to revisit and reflect on your purpose, the meaning that is driving you forwards in life. Check back in with yourself to determine if the direction you are moving in is still aligned with your soul and feels like something you still desire to work towards.
You are growing, you are moving forward, the Universe is here inspiring you to not lose faith.
On the shadow side, the message from The Moon reversed is asking you to build awareness around any fears that may be blocking you. You may notice this month that you experience more linear thinking that is creating mental confusion or even a misinterpretation of something. When you find yourself getting stuck in your mind this is a reminder that you aren’t able to see the full picture. Aspects of your growth may feel uncertain which can be overwhelming. Tread carefully when you become caught up in your mind with fear, anxiety or an inability to process your current experience.
The Moon card asks you to turn inwards and comfort yourself through the shadows of your own mind. This is not a time to rush into action or to numb and avoid what is going on internally. The Moon is all about healing, feeling and flowing with grace and this is the answer to any shadows or resistance you may be feeling this month. Take time to heal, feel your emotions, and come back into a state of flowing while offering yourself grace.
Your desires are not built in a day, so drop the pressure and need to rush or force things. The theme of the month comes from the message of the Lord, take charge with authority; which is reminding you to use your voice and to stand in your innate strength. You have the energy and power to overcome any dramas or energies that are not supporting your forward movement; whether these energies are your own shadows or they are coming from someone else’s influence.
There is a build of ambition within you as you recognize where you desire to go in life and you realign with the purpose and meaning that gives you a sense of direction. Don’t forget to heal and work through any shadows of limiting thoughts or fears because your inner authority is encouraging you to keep moving.

Back to the Monthly Energy Forecast for JULY 2024
Now let’s dig in a little deeper as we breakdown the month on a week by week basis.
WEEK ONE and a HALF: Thursday, August 1st to Sunday, August 11th
Sunday the 4th - New Moon
Question of the Week - What do you need to focus on when setting intentions?
Queen of Swords (reversed)
Direction Guardian - Choose Your Path
You may be allowing your emotions to get the better of you as you tend to put your heart before your mind. This week and a half the message from the Queen of Swords reversed is calling out your shadow side of being disconnected from your own innate wisdom. Are you holding a grudge? Are you failing to learn from past experiences? Are you communicating with too many emotions leading you?
As the Moon shifts into the New Moon phase on Sunday August 4th, this week is a time to start fresh, and set intentions for how you desire to show up for yourself over the next month. The Queen of Swords is encouraging you to not repeat old patterns by getting pulled into all the old emotions from previous experiences. In your communication with others you may feel like they aren’t listening to you, but it’s most likely because you aren’t actually clear on your own needs and desires.
Choose your path is the message from the Direction Guardian card. The Universe is making it clear that you could go in any number of directions, and it’s up to you to actually make a choice in how you wish to move forward. Take the time to connect with your deepest desires, and choose the path that will make your heart and soul sing.
In order to flow through this week with more ease and grace, you need to sit down with yourself and reflect on these three journal prompts:
1 - What emotions am I holding onto from my past that are impeding me from seeing clearly?
2 - Looking at specific conversations I’ve had recently, where am I speaking from my emotions instead of speaking my truth from a clear heart and mind?
3 - What are my deepest desires that I wish to work towards and bring more purpose and meaning into my life?
By turning inwards and reflecting on these three questions you will have a better understanding of how you wish to move forward from an aligned, purposeful state. Then you can set intentions for the month with these three questions:
1 - How do I wish to show up for myself this month?
2 - How do I wish to show up for my community (friends, family, loved ones) this month?
3 - How do I wish to show up to grow towards my deepest desires this month?
WEEK TWO: Monday, August 12 to Sunday, August 18th
Monday the 12th - First Quarter Moon
Question of the Week - What do you need to remember when taking action?
6 of Swords (reversed)
Heart Guardian - Love and Let Yourself Be Loved
The forward movement you desire in your life is possible, and even better, it can happen divinely when you introduce the Universe and your Divine Team to assist you on the journey. Right now you are needing to take action, but you are feeling a heaviness and resistance of energy build within you because things have been turbulent for you recently.
This week the Moon shifts into the First Quarter phase which is a time to take action, overcome obstacles and keep moving forward. The message from the 6 of Swords reversed is encouraging you to stop resisting change, to let go of the baggage from your past, and to ask for help from others. A better future awaits you, and yet you may feel alone through this spiritual transition. You can ask the Universe to support your forward movement by reciting one of the following affirmations to calm your mind and receive assistance.
“Universe, please guide me forwards. I am open to new opportunities.”
“I am ready to receive assistance as I traverse this phase of life.”
“I am ready for the right next step Universe, please show me the way.”
These types of affirmations will help to calm your nervous system and open you to receive more support and guidance in your life.
The second message for this week comes from the Heart Guardian card, which encourages you to love and let yourself be loved. When you feel resistance in your life or heaviness in your body, your Egoic mind often tries to tell you that you aren’t enough, you aren’t doing enough or you are doing things wrong and you’ll never figure it out. These are the moments when you need to allow love and compassion into your existence. Talking to the Universe and calling in your Divine Team for support is exactly what you need to shift your energetic frequency and begin moving forward from an aligned space.
Use these affirmations throughout the week to open yourself up to receiving support and compassion in the moments where you feel yourself being triggered into heavy or overwhelming thoughts.
“Spirit Guides and Angels please come to me now and bring peace into my body as I breathe deeply.”
“Universe, I am overwhelmed and stuck in a negative pattern. Please bring compassion into my energy and life.”
“I am open to receiving love and compassion from the Universe in order to feel inspired and clear in my forward movement.”
WEEK THREE: Monday, August 19th to Sunday, August 25th
Monday the 19th - Full Moon (3rd Full Moon in a season)
Thursday the 22nd - Virgo Season
Question of the Week - Where do you need to be open to surrendering?
The Hanged Man
High Priestess - Harness Mystic Power
Your Spirit is calling you to surrender everything in your life right now. Surrender doesn’t mean give up, surrender means to give over to a power greater than you. Take your hands off the wheel of control and place your trust in the Universe as it guides you to the opportunities and destined meetings meant for you.
This week the Moon shifts into the Full Moon phase which is a time for clarity, climax and surrendering to the bigger picture of your life. Oftentimes the Universe can step in during a Full Moon and shift things around in order to bring you into alignment with your soul path and this week is no exception. The message from The Hanged Man is reiterating that you need to surrender to the divine will of the cosmos and lean into your own inner world of limitless miracles. Anything is possible, and this is the belief you are needing to flow with right now.
Maybe there is something in your life that has you stuck, well the Universe is asking you to let go of it. Whether you are gripping onto control, or focused on the 25 steps required for the plan you are creating, you are causing more resistance on your journey. Now is the time to open your heart to the bigger picture, and you will tune into a whole new way in which to see the world and your life. This is a time to realign with your heart and your purpose because when you let go of the old, the heavy, and the resistant, you open yourself up to new found wisdom and spiritual teachings.
In order to support this messaging, the High Priestess is encouraging you to harness mystic power by aligning with the light and believing in positive outcomes. The most powerful part of you, as a Spirit, is the force of magic directed by your will. Now is a time to look at what you are working towards and determine where your priorities lie. Remember, you cannot control what is outside of you, you can only control your own energy and how you choose to show up in the world.
The shifts you create this week by surrendering to the Divine Universe and aligning with your own mystic power will catapult you into your next level of consciousness. Your life is the result of how you connect with yourself and the energy you choose to cultivate in this world. The Universe is in support of all you desire, but you need to let go of control and remember that the Universe’s plan for you is always better than anything you could ever conjure up yourself.
Here are a few affirmations that can help support you this week.
“I am choosing to surrender to the Universe’s plan for me and I trust I am being guided.”
“I know the next right opportunity will present itself to me and my Spirit will encourage me to see it once it’s here.”
“I am open to magic and miracles in my life.”
WEEK FOUR: Monday, August 26th to Saturday, August 31st
Monday the 26th - Third Quarter Moon
Question of the Week - What do you need to release and let go of?
The Chariot (reversed)
Druid - Hold the Space
After the Full Moon comes to a close, the Moon shifts into the Third Quarter phase, which is a time for introspection and reflection. The Moon asks you to look back at this past month, see your own actions, thoughts, emotions and energy from a higher perspective and take time to decipher what lessons are hidden within it all.
The message from The Chariot reversed is reminding you to acknowledge where you have a lack of energetic focus, and to work through this energy in order to become realigned with your purpose and determination in life. Are you going in the wrong direction? Earlier this month you took some time (during week 1) to get clear on your desires and to choose a path that feels aligned with your heart and soul. Have you forgotten this? The Chariot reversed is pointing out that you may be trying to charge ahead without paying attention to your path.
After the Full Moon you may have more clarity in your life, and The Chariot is encouraging you to make some plans, align your goals, and begin sparking your dreams. Forward movement is calling on you, so pay attention to how you are showing up.
Let me reiterate the Universe’s message, now is not a time to jump into action, instead it’s a time to realign, refocus, review, and reflect. The message from Druid is reminding you of the power in holding space for yourself and your dreams. It’s not about making sudden moves, instead it’s about standing strong in where you are and remembering where you need to be in this moment. Rushed action now comes from a feeling of pressure, forcefulness and fear, which is not how you wish to live your life.
Take a deep breath. Call in your Divine Team. Ask for their assistance. Affirm to yourself that you are a channel of limitless miracles.
Throughout the month of August your Spirit has encouraged you to strengthen your faith in your path and to look into the internal shadows that may be causing resistance in your energy. You can navigate a healthy balance of working towards your desires with purpose and healing the limits and blocks you feel triggered by.
The main theme of the month came from the 7 of Pentacles which reminded you of how far you’ve come and to keep going. Along with this, The Moon reversed showed you that it’s still important to work through your shadows. In all of this, you are taking charge with your own innate authority to build a life that feels aligned and purposeful for you.
You are on the path for the long run. Choosing to work through your shadows, grow your consciousness, and become more connected to your soul.
