Each calendar year, introduces new cycles which impact us all on a global scale. This calendar year emphasises the qualities of the number 8 (2 + 0 + 2 + 4) and as we enter August (the 8th month), we may find that that the karmic qualities of this number become further exaggerated and emphasised.
In terms of numerology the number 8 represents karma, with the words ‘Karma’ and ‘August’ sharing the same overall 17/ 8 vibration.
17/ 8 in Numerology represents ‘seeker of the truth’. This is considered a very positive karma in Numerology, bringing with it the potential for great spirituality (7) to influence our personal will (1), and ultimately our choices and behaviours. This number brings the potential for our hopes to be realised, if we listen to our intuition, stay focussed on our goals and take responsibility for our actions, (despite the many distractions competing for our attention).
The number 7 (3 + 4) represents ‘the Magician’ in numerology as it combines ideas (3) with building and form (4), so helping us to make our ideas a reality.
The first letter of a word impacts the sound and vibration of the whole word.
In the case of ‘August’ the first letter ‘A’ is also the first letter of the alphabet and represents a ‘Dynamic Leader’ who may lead us all into new territory. This concept is demonstrated by the transition from Summer to Winter, as leaves fall from the trees, temperatures drop, and days become shorter.
The Soul Urge or motivation for August (7) encourages spirituality and inner transformation, as we come to the end of the growing season and move from external growth to internal change and transformation.
The personality No. for August (10/ 1) represents leadership and the will to breakthrough with awareness, to begin the next cycle.
We are not separate from the world of nature. We are all a part of this ever-evolving flow of spirit into matter, and the natural cycles of our environment.
