Song 1: “Cold Wind in August” by Van Morrison
Lyrics: “Baby I had to have you, oh, I had to have you, come rain, rain or shine. It was a cold wind in August, shivers up and down my spine.”
Your Cards: Page of Pentacles (reversed), 7 of Pentacles (reversed), Page of Wands
In the reversed position, the Page of Pentacles tells me that you may have been procrastinating a lot lately. It seems like you’ve been wasting your time and talents. Perhaps you weren’t sure where to focus your efforts, or you were simply shirking responsibilities. This has been your mindset leading up to August’s New Moon.
The reversed 7 of Pentacles, though, suggests that recently you’ve been putting in the work. You knew you were being a bit lazy or aimless before, so you picked a project and put your heart and soul into it. Unfortunately, you’re not seeing results from your efforts, and you’re getting discouraged. This is where August’s New Moon finds you – and your angels want to congratulate you for trying so hard! Even though you’re not getting the results you wanted, they are proud of you – and you should be proud of yourself – for choosing a project and sticking to it. Don’t give up – you’re on the right track, you just may need to shift your focus or approach.
The Page of Wands promises that delightful new beginnings are on the horizon! After the New Moon, you will have an exciting opportunity for travel or creativity – you will recognize it when it arrives. The key is to pursue what you’re truly passionate about – that’s what keeps you from giving up when the going gets tough. But when you pursue something you really believe in, like your biggest dreams, you can make it happen; it just may take some time. Your angels are assuring you that good things are coming; work hard, consider unconventional methods, and stay true to yourself.
Song 2: “The First Day in August” by Carole King
Lyrics: “On the first day in August, I want to wake up by your side, after sleeping with you, on the last night in July.”
Your Cards: 6 of Pentacles (reversed), 7 of Swords (reversed), Page of Cups
The 6 of Pentacles, reversed, tells me that your heart may have been a bit closed off in the recent past. You weren’t particularly generous with others, either in material ways or with forgiveness/acceptance. Your lack of empathy strained your relationships or attracted the wrong people into your life. If this doesn’t resonate, then someone very close to you has been treating you this way. This has been the situation leading up to August’s New Moon.
The reversed 7 of Swords suggests that either you or someone close to you has done something deceptive and treacherous, and these actions will be exposed around the August New Moon on the 23rd. Although this hurts, it also comes with a sense of relief – now that the truth is out, you can move forward with honesty and integrity. Your angels want you to see that this exposure is a good thing, and it’s ultimately putting you on the right path.
The Page of Cups portrays a sensitive, gentle, almost child-like person. This will either be you or someone new coming into your life soon after the New Moon. It’s the polar opposite of who you were or the situation you were in before – you’re attracting kinder, more compassionate energy into your life. Your angels want you to know that they’re proud of the person you’re becoming, and reminding you that there’s a silver lining to every hardship.
Song 3: “August Day” by Hall & Oates
Lyrics: “Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance, and say I love you. And the sky colored heavy gray, August day.”
Your Cards: 9 of Swords, 10 of Swords, Knight of Cups (reversed)
The 9 of Swords tells me that things haven’t been easy for you lately. You’ve been suffering from a great deal of mental anguish, such as anxiety, depression, guilt, or regret. Insomnia has plagued you as you’ve wrestled with these demons leading up to the New Moon.
The 10 of Swords predicts that August’s New Moon on the 23rd is your rock bottom moment. All the terrible emotions you’ve been having come to a head, and you may feel powerless, helpless, overwhelmed, and unsupported. Your angels are warning you this is coming, but there’s no need to fight or stop it. They’re saying that hitting rock bottom is the best thing that can happen for you right now – because the only way to go from there is up.
The reversed Knight of Cups holds the key to remedying your situation. It strongly suggests that you need to quit or walk away from something, and that will solve your problems. You likely already know what this is – whether it’s a job, substance, or relationship (and this does not have to be a romantic relationship; it could also be a family member or friend), something (or someone) is holding you back and causing great distress. Once you’ve cut this thing from your life, you will be able to start healing and moving forward toward emotional stability and authentic connections. Your angels promise that love, happiness, and peace are in your future – but you must identify and release what’s stopping you first.
