I Ching Reading for August is Pi or No 8 Union or “Holding Together”
By your 13Society I Ching Reader Angelica Danton.
This month which is the 8th Month of the year and the period belonging in Astrology to the Month of Leo and the transformative energy of the Lion’s Gate(the portal period of power energy where the Dog Star Sirius aligns with Earth and Orion’s Belt as well as the Sun in Leo peaking on August 8 and through to August 12)we look to using this Sun Energy for our greater intent and purpose symbolically while appreciating this time to be one of the most potent ones to manifest our destiny on all important matters. The ancient Egyptians are believed to have used the rising of Sirius as a time to plant by as it marked the time of the flooding of the Nile. Symbolically, we can see this time as a period that adds to our creativity and vision to manifest goals.
The Number 8 is the Symbol of infinity and holds a special significance when doubled as in the 8th of the 8th which is the time when the Lion’s Gate opens as in the alignment.
Our I Ching Reading for this month is also No 8 Water over the Earth known as Union or Holding Together. This month, we find ourselves in a position to examine important group alliances in our lives and use discernment and judgement to understand our Roles best.
To truly contribute to a group or union of people who have a valuable purpose is an honor in life and gives meaning to our work and labors. We need however to also truly value our own soul’s and character’s gifts in a wise but full way to realize our best value to any group. In Union we value our individuality while in our appreciation and knowing of self we value how we contribute and fulfil our roles best to group cooperative effort.
Those who do not show both self-respect and respect to others will always unsettle and destabilize any group they are part of while those who believe in their purpose and look with understanding into those, they belong with will always be remembered for their sense of honor and generous spirit.
We find at this powerful time that every person we have a special connection to and every group we choose to belong with needs to align with some part of our soul’s purpose and we now have the power to change that situation if it is not so aligned. We also start to understand just how important every member is to any group of purpose.
Honor this special period by recognizing its importance, meditating on your life with compassion and appreciation for self and others and seeing transformation as possible and as a dynamic in your life right in this moment. Uplift your energy in a natural way and get some time in nature if you can. Connect with significant others in your chosen group and share positive dreams and ideas.
Have a great August and see you next month.
