August? If we must...
“Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn’t know…”
“He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free, oh they're free”
~ Judas Priest “Dreamer Deceiver”

Remember, the planets don’t curse, they counsel. Our brains are wired to interpret symbolism in prose or picture. The vibrations created by sights and sounds enter our cerebral laboratory as chaotic influence, then based on personal expertise and experience, vast neural networks light up giving order to the chaos ~ resulting in meaning that far exceeds form. Giving and/or allowing ourselves the space to perceive in this way is crucial to joy, peace, inspiration, love and an antidote to the depressive anguish of the degenerative and dark age we’re in. To “grip and hold on to the note,” the vibration, the cosmic story in a felt sense can reveal the more galactic reality of being a little speck of light on an earth that is floating in space amongst so much chaos and beauty and insanity, etc. It’s an acknowledgment of the connectivity between all things, and thus a realization of why it all hurts so much, but also that we can (and must) liberate our minds from fatalistic thinking. And so… let’s look to the planets and their energetic tale of this month’s hell in the heavens and get the mythological meaning behind the dire feelings.
