August Quotes
“The collision of hail or rain with hard surfaces, or the song of cicadas in a summer field. These sonic events are made out of thousands of isolated sounds; this multitude of sounds, seen as totality, is a new sonic event.”

Exemplore: The Symbolism and Meaning of the Four Cards in Tarot
BEV GAUG 7, 2023
The tarot fours: the Four of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Stable, quite static, solid … maybe a bit boring? Do you give the number four cards in your readings their due attention? And what about the other four cards—the mighty Emperor and terrifying Death? I’m going to examine those too, in the context of the number four.

EarthSky News:Thuban was the Pole Star when the pyramids were being built
Thuban is not a particularly bright star, but it holds a special place in the hearts of stargazers. That’s because Thuban – a relatively inconspicuous star in the constellation Draco the Dragon – was the pole star some 5,000 years ago, when the Egyptians were building the pyramids. It’ll be the pole star again in the year 20,346 CE. You wonder what humanity will be doing then.

Inner Journey:
TAKE TIME TO BE STILL
“Work is not always required … there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
— George MacDonald
When was the last time you did absolutely nothing?
Our world is so addicted to productivity that we feel guilty if we’re not doing something. But taking time daily to be still and inactive opens us to the spacious present. It nurtures and restores balance. Give yourself a regular gift of inactivity.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.”
— Sir J. Lubbock

A Note from the Universe
Time for a little refresher on manifesting change, parking spots, and a new thriving business and a steady income.
Think about it as if it were already done.
Keep showing up, doing all you can, every day in every way, until already done.
For complicated cases, like when dealing with invisible, limiting beliefs, negative friends, or staring down adversity: follow the exact same steps.
You’ve got it made,
The Universe

Today’s Tarot: Thursday: Justice
You may be dealing with people who feel inferior or weaker than you, so take care to not run over anyone. Equally, they do not have to serve as an excuse for you to go slower or do less than you know is necessary. Be firm but not too firm, determined but not too determined. Get a lot of good work done.
Today’s Tarot; Friday: The Empress
Some big new opportunity could come your way today. Focus your attention on the one thing you want most to have happen and it won’t be able to resist you. You can be persuasive and graceful, smooth and strong all at the same time. Act with quiet confidence and be admired later. Today, enjoy having people listen and do almost everything you suggest.
