ASSOCIATIONS OF 4
THAT WE’LL EXPERIENCE OR WITNESS UNFOLDING THIS MONTH:
(1) the father + (3) inner child = (4) father wounds — as if the universal 3 month and cancer season bringing up our mother wounds wasn’t enough, here we are yet again to face more inner child work to address our father wounds.
4 is saturn — the planet of maturity, hardship, boundaries, limitation, thresholds, responsibility, restriction, oppression, bones, structure, concrete manifestation, conditioning, social standing, status, control, standards, consequences/results, function/dysfunction, glancing back in time/through history, establishment.
4 is uranus — the planet of rebellion, breakthrough, the unexpected, innovation, sudden change, insight, awakening, originality.
4 is aquarius — the sign of humanitarianism, individuality, honesty, rebellion, originality, eccentric, the future, inventiveness, independence, experiments, friendliness, intuitiveness, expansion, and the community.
4th house — mother nature (land/weather), agricultural crops (gardens), public buildings, digestive issues, real estate property, family (history, heritage, values, and ties), mines (extraction of natural resources), the home, material possessions, cancer sign (which associates with the chest, lungs, breasts)
4 is the root chakra —the root chakra is one of the first chakras to develop at the time of our birth. a lot of people, today, stay locked there for their entire lives because of the instinctual need for survival. it’s important that we use the grounded energy of the 4 to keep our root chakra balanced or else we will stress ourselves over financial difficulties, gain poor focus, lack discipline, and feel fearful/anxious of the future. the root chakra also stores our childhood/early life, inheritance of tribal programming (past life), upbringing, etc. so if you felt a sense of abandonment during your childhood, had an unstable home environment or experienced trauma as a child, were physically abused, felt unsafe/uncared for/lacking, or your parents subconsciously projected their fears of survival or trauma onto you, the emotions you felt (such as fear) may be brought to the surface for you to face, heal, and release.
4 is the skeletal system — the supporting structure of our bodies (skull protects our brain, ribs protect our heart). the skeletal system is very similar to what the foundation of a home is built on. if it is not strong, it breaks down; same as what our bodies would do if we do not have strong bones.
(4) emperor — authority, regulation; creating order out of chaos, establishing laws, applying rules, taking leadership, sticking to a plan, protecting and defending
(13) death tarot — putting the past behind you, moving from known to unknown, cutting out the unnecessary, shedding the old, going through something that cannot be avoided. the 13th tarot card is the death card, which is endings, transition, heightened awareness.
PLANETARY TRANSITS FOR AUGUST —
0808 | new moon in leo, 16: the new moon in leo at 16’ (1 is self, identity, image and 6 is acceptance, idealism, perfection) is going to highlight on who you are, how you’re keeping up the appearance of who you are, what made you who you are (your childhood programming, past conditioning, traumatic experiences, etc), and what you choose to project onto others to portray the type of person you are (pride, passion, confidence, ego). this new moon in leo is all about you so this is a time to manifest all of the qualities and traits you need to feel powerful, authentic, and confident. the new moon in leo wants us to fully embody who we are without the thought of impressing others or seeking approval. this is a time to reset your life by planting the seeds that are required of you to be clear of your inner knowing when it comes to who you choose to be or to step into your full potential.
0811 | mercury enters virgo: when mercury is in virgo, it’s in its home sign and we may feel more attentive to details (which might cause us to come off nit-picky; brings out the perfectionist in us) — we might overanalyze certain statements made in conversations and run with your assumptions (overthinking is likely), think carefully and more methodically about the information we absorb (may feel skeptical about information regarding the virus, vaccine, and restrictions), and experience self-criticism if you’re often hard on yourself or have the urge to be overly judgmental of others. this is also a good time to prioritize your responsibilities and organize your thoughts so you don’t feel so scattered (an excuse to buy more planners and journals!).
0816 | venus enters libra: venus is in her home sign, libra, which brings focus to our relationships (intimate, platonic, and familial). during this time, we all strive for harmony in our partnerships, but sometimes venus in libra can highlight on codependency, inconsistency, and superficiality (being told what we want to hear) so be aware of how these themes are showing up in your personal connections. because we’re still working through inner child wounds, ask yourself: “am i searching for a partner to nurture me in the ways my parent(s) didn’t?”, “is my relationship becoming a reflection of my parent’s relationship?”, “is my partner mirroring the qualities or habits of the parent that wounded me, which is why they’re triggering me so much?”. venus in libra may also influence us to spend lavishly or be drawn to luxury — treat yourself (great time to get your hair done or go shopping and be happy with the outcome).
0819 | uranus retrograde taurus: uranus retrograde is here to bring significant awakenings through rapid changes, which for some, may come as a surprise. the extent of these changes may appear chaotic as our livelihood, daily routines, priorities, and values become shaken up. this is the time for you to put your life under a microscope as the things that keep you in your comfort zone and normalize are being forced into redirection for personal liberation and evolution. as a society, we’re gonna see a lot of unexpected events taking place during this time (i’m predicting a hurricane along the gulf coast, issues regarding food shortages or information that’s going to push us into growing our own food, possibly even an unexpected spike in income for some people or additional help from the government).
0822 | full moon in aquarius, 29: we just had a full moon in aquarius last month, but it was at 1’ (focus on self); this time it is at 29’, which 2 and 9 equal 11 (unification, balance, duality, coexistence, cooperation, divine union) — 11 is also a master number (master teacher) so we are learning from ourselves through wisdom and self-mastery where we may have created from a place of inauthenticity and limitation and detaching from that. this full moon in aquarius is about maturity and the urgency to have something done to make a difference — themes such as conscious expansion, transcendence, illumination transmutation, elevation, evolution will be what this full moon is about. since this is a full moon in aquarius at 29’, i wouldn’t be surprised if we experience some type of crisis (personally or as a collective group).
0822 | sun enters virgo: when the sun is in virgo, we are more focused on making improvements to do better and be better, especially when it comes to our work (enhancing our skills, aligning with a job that gives us better benefits, acknowledging the way we serve others), our health (physical illnesses, diets, safety, sanitation; doing things to take better care of ourselves), our habits, and routines (focusing on our chores such as cleaning our home; decluttering; and assessing our day-to-day schedule). the sun in virgo may also bring constructive criticism to our growth, so we may take more notice to our shortcomings (mistakes, failures, imperfections) and dwell on them.
0830 | mercury enters libra: mercury in libra’s energy may influence us to be fair (compromising and making negotiations seem easy-going during this time) and considerate (polite; ability to empathize; be understanding) with others, but it could also bring indecisiveness, a tendency to be passive-aggressive (saying things to keep the peace), and very charming (flirtatious; acting in a deceptive way or used for personal agendas). this is a transit where using discernment may be needed. another good benefit with mercury in libra is for networking and socializing (great for poets, writers, and artists) — you can make conversation with just about anyone about anything (have a friendly debate, share opinions and ideas) without stepping on other people’s toes.
