August, being the 8th month of the year, is represented as the number “8.” This is a highly complex, deep, and misunderstood number. With the energy continuing to increase as the years go on and the numbers get higher, August serves to be an extremely intense month. It contains not just a few, but several different themes.
Death & rebirth
August is a time of death and rebirth. August 1st, or “Lammas,” marks the point in which darkness begins to take over with days getting longer and darker on the northern hemisphere. Back up to summer solstice in late June, when the light and the dark are equal, darkness increases for the rest of the year. August is the point in which we can fully notice the days getting shorter and darker (again, on the northern hemisphere, at least.) Autumn, the season of death, is right around the corner.
But even those who live on the Southern Hemisphere can see themes of darkness in the month of August. The number “8” represents a figure-8: one point skating back and forth between one side to the other. Death is not the end, but the transformation towards a brand new beginning.
Secrets & taboo
August is a month of secrets. This could either point to secrets being revealed, or involving yourself heavily in secrecy. Whatever you are digging yourself into is sure to come out soon, as August brings out the inner investigator in everyone.
This is a great time for indulging yourself in unknown, mysterious, or forbidden subjects. This is when hidden desires come out and you find yourself more motivated to take action towards your needs that you previously attempted to suppress.
Business, money, achievement
The number 8 also relates directly to high status and money. If you play your cards right, you could receive a great surplus of wealth this month. This is the time to sort of your finances, make investments, and take giant leaps forward in your job or business.
Harness this energy to chase after that desired promotion or pay raise. Take advantage of this time to build your business. Talk to a professional financial advisor. Your motivation and hunger for achievement is peaking.
Take charge & be the boss
Take charge, not only in your career, but in all aspects of your life. 8 is nicknamed “the boss number.” Those who are 8’s in their life path or destiny numbers are born leaders. Therefore, August brings boss-like energy that you are being encouraged by the universe to take.
If you are someone who suffers from low confidence or self-esteem, this is the month to work on your self-worth. If you have been feeling pushed around recently, use this energy to take back control and boss up your whole life.
Ego & dignity
Finally, 8 relates to the ego. You are likely to experience and ego-inflation this month. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you react to it.
Positively, you can use this ego-boost to recover a negative reputation, to find grace within unfair situations, to feel respected among your peers, to achieve high social status, to improve your character, to rise above pettiness, to have dignity.
On the downside, an ego-boost can lead to people acting two-faced, the suppression of deep emotions, worrying too much about what other people think of you, expecting special treatment, thinking you’re better than everyone else, etc.
