The Energies in August 2023
We were hoping for a quiet July month with vacation and relaxation time, but that was an understatement. The July was the Earth Goat month and our usually peaceful Goat showed its horns and kicked in all directions. Now comes the Metal Monkey in August. The Monkey is the toughest Zodiac sign there is. Are you ready to know what’s going to happen in this coming month?
All over we can feel that the yearly energies of 2023, the Rabbit year, are really fast and running in all directions.
This year of 2023 is also the last year in a 20-year cycle and next year we will start a new energy cycle of empathy and hearty expressions beginning with the energetic and very positive Dragon; which means, there is hope for a new beginning and a good turn of events.
But meanwhile we have to go through this transition of time and year. Always, when energies are changing from year to year and especially from the 20-year period to another, we are experiencing worldwide incident after incident.
The month of August is still summer vacation time for most and will hopefully get us the power to change this current worldwide “upside-down world” towards a better future.
So, let’s have a look at the constellation of this month’s energies and see what’s going on.
We are starting on August 7 the Metal Monkey month in the Water Rabbit year.
To the Rabbit of the year:
The Rabbit is super energetic, fast and easily irritated. It is the hyperactive among the Zodiac signs and we can feel the lack of concentration and the fast moving of actions around us. The Rabbit belongs to the wood element and in combination with the water element of the year, the Rabbit has the support of the water and therefore is strong and capable.
And as you know already, all Year or Zodiac animals are also only impressions of the five elements: the Rabbit belongs to the Wood element.
The Monkey of the August month belongs to the Metal.
In the 5 Element cycle each element should be supported and support the following. In this month we have 1 water, 1 wood, 0 fire, 0 earth and 2 metal elements.
The main points this month are:
- The strong Metal (2 Metal elements in the cycle) is totally absorbing the weak Earth, which is also under pressure of the Wood. This situation shows that there is no stability and basic needs are oppressed. The Earthelement is the weakest element this month, which will result in a frontal attack on normativity, food supply, family mindedness and stability!
- The Wood (1 Wood element in the cycle) is under pressure of the Metal and what is Metal doing to Wood? Right, it is cutting it down. So, the Wood, even with the support of Water is actually not strong, which means there will be less spontaneous and unconcentrated jumping up and down, but rather more concentrated and well-planned actions.
- The Water (1 element in the cycle) is stronger this month due to the support of Metal, which means people will start to think more and will have stronger will-power and more inner strength.
- The Fire (0 element in the cycle) is supported by the Wood, but under pressure of the water, which means still, lots of sudden fires outbreaks, flight issues, electric shortcuts, internet problems and on the health side many heart and blood related and issues.
- The strong Metal element (2 in the cycle) is controlling the events, which means all connected to law and order will have the sayings. The Metal element is the strongest and it is supporting the Water, which supports the Wood, that means things are moving forward in a better organized manner.
For the entire year 2023:
The Water is the heavenly energy, the Wood of the Rabbit, the earthly energy. Water is supporting Wood, that means heaven is supporting the earth and as such the actions happening around the world are following a heavenly plan, are supported or initiated by heaven. So, there is hope that there will be light after this period of darkness and craziness and let’s pray that a new time period will slowly start worldwide with positive and constructive ideas and common sensed deeds.
Feng Shui is: to be protected and to be in control!
The worst energies this month are located in the North and North-east (watch what’s going on in the Ukraine and Russia).
The best energies worldwide and at home will be in the SE, South and SW.
I always recommend to sleep with the head towards a good direction and good energies and while working, to have the good energies in our backs to support us.
You are invited to join our monthly free Zoom Shui seminar to learn more about your home and the corrections. (Every first Sunday in the month, free tickets are available via Eventbrite or contact us), now in English and in Hebrew.
This is part of our global community activity to stay connected and set our minds for positivity and love.
We are connecting our Facebook Group “Uchakra Community & Feng Shui Inspirations” page live during the regular Zoom Shui meeting.
In our group, in our websites (Uchakrameditation.com and FengshuiM.com) and in our YouTube channel you will also find the recordings of our monthly sessions, in case you missed it.
As always, our Feng Shui Calendar is a very useful tool to be prepared for all options. Check at least the general problematic days (marked in red), not to schedule anything important there; and also learn your personal trouble days, not to plan crucial appointments (signing contracts, doctor’s appointment, operations or travelling…) on these days.
In August 2023, the most difficult days are the days of the Rat, Rabbit, Rooster (as in the whole year) and the Tiger.
On these days, drive very carefully, don’t take any chances and take it easy! This is especially important for all born in these years. You can also check the daily energies on the Feng Shui calculator on our website. (fengshuim.com)
Here is the list of the problematic days for each of you. Off course you will have to consult our Feng Shui calendar, which is an essential tool for everyone and each business on a daily basis.
