Transit Tonic for August
This month is ALLLL ABOUT… your Inner Yes… the overall theme is about choosing what feels in alignment for you… not what you “think” should be.
August pulls you inward just enough to feel what’s true — before launching you into the kind of aligned action that sticks.
This isn’t the month for pushing or proving. It’s the month for choosing. Repeatedly. Honestly. Without apology.
We kick it off with reflection (Gate 33), move through subtle leadership and influence (Gate 7), and arrive at the messy middle of needing answers (Gate 4) just as the Full Moon peaks — lighting up the disconnect between what you say you want and what you’re actually carrying.
The second half of the month shifts gears:
You’ll feel a pull to more deeply (Gate 29), open more vulnerably (Gate 59), and finally…rest — knowing you’ve given what you were meant to give (Gate 40).
The full moon on the 9th - like all Full Moons - asks us to reflect, release, assess where we are. Ask what we are holding on to that no longer serves and consider creating space and intention for who we want to become.
The New Moon on the 23rd helps reset emotional intimacy and internal devotion.
This month you will get to consider
Uncovering what YOUR “yes” feels like and understanding the cost (to you and everyone in your world) of not choosing it. Leading without force
Sitting with the space that comes up between effort and return
Being witnessed in your truth without needing to over-explain it
The people who belong in your orbit will feel you more clearly this month.
The ones who don’t… won’t. Let them fall away.
This is the unlearning of exhaustion.
This is the wisdom of enough.
Transit Dates: July 31 - Aug 7
Gate 33 – The Gate of Privacy
─── ✦ ───
Center: Throat
Channel Connection: 13–33, The Channel of the Prodigal
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 33 invites you to step back — not in retreat, but in reverence.
This is the energy of the sacred pause. The exhale. The curtain call before the next scene unfolds.
It brings the urge to turn inward and reflect — not because something is broken, but because something is being understood.
During this time, your stories matter. Your memories matter. What you’ve lived through is not just background — it’s the wisdom you carry forward.
Gate 33 doesn’t demand that you explain everything.
It simply asks: Have you integrated what you just lived through?
You may find yourself feeling quieter, more observant, even nostalgic. Let that be sacred, not indulgent. Let what’s unspoken settle before you try to speak again.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
What truth am I finally able to name now that I’m no longer in the middle of it?
What needs to be remembered — not so I stay stuck, but so I move forward clean?
Where am I rushing to speak before I’ve actually understood?
What sacred pause have I been avoiding, and what would it offer me if I allowed it?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: It is a reverence for lived experience, wise storytelling, sacred integration
Gift: It is reflection, remembrance, perspective
Shadow: It looks like avoidance, withdrawal, shame-based silence
Dilemma: If I speak too soon, I lose the truth. If I stay silent too long, I miss the moment.

Full Moon Reflection
─── ✦ ───
Theme
Seeing What You’ve Outgrown Before You’re Asked to Lead Again
This Full Moon rises between Gate 7 (Direction + Leadership) and Gate 4 (Mental Pressure + Doubt).
It illuminates the tension between who you’ve been following and where you’re meant to lead next. Full moons are revealing. They show what’s been hidden under noise or loyalty.
You might see clearly now:
the beliefs that don’t fit you anymore
the voices that have shaped your decisions
the ways you’ve silenced your direction to belong or stay safe
This isn’t about burning bridges. It’s about reclaiming authorship. Gate 7 reminds you that influence isn’t force. Gate 4 reminds you that clarity doesn’t come from obsession.
And Gate 33 reminds you that your past was never wasted — it was preparation.
This moon may stir grief, old leadership wounds, or pressure to decide too quickly. Let it rise. Let it pass through. Let it refine your “yes.”
─── ✦ ───
Questions for the Full Moon
Where am I still following someone or some teaching that I’ve outgrown?
Where am I being asked to lead (my home/children/work/relationships/community)… but find myself still waiting for permission?
What belief or identity have I completed— that is now ready to be released?
What part of me is afraid to be fully seen in the role I now feel called to?

Gate 7 – The Role of the Self in Interaction
─── ✦ ───
Center: G Centre
Channel Connection: 7–31 (The Channel of the Alpha)
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 7 carries the quiet power of directional influence. It’s not the voice that shouts, but the one others naturally follow.
This is leadership by embodiment — not control.
When Gate 7 is active, you may feel pulled to guide others — or to question who (or what) you’ve been following.
It’s a time to recalibrate your compass.
Not “Who do I need to become?”
But “Am I going where my soul is actually asking me to go?”
There’s also a subtle grief in Gate 7:
You may feel nostalgic, even sorrowful over the path not taken. The ways you may have handed over leadership in exchange for safety, belonging, or validation.
This gate offers a sacred course-correction. Not through shame, but through alignment.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
Where have I abandoned my own direction in order to be chosen or liked?
What does aligned leadership feel like — not just look like?
What would I choose if I weren’t afraid of being misunderstood?
Who am I silently following that I no longer need to?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: It is Empowered guidance, humble influence, aligned direction
Gift: It offers strategic leadership, intuitive vision, inspired collaboration
Shadow: It becomes people-pleasing, disempowered following, performance
Dilemma: If I lead from fear, I lose myself. If I lead from truth, I risk being alone.

Gate 4 – The Gate of Formulization
─── ✦ ───
Center: Ajna
Channel Connection: 63–4 (The Channel of Logic)
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 4 is the energy of mental pressure — the kind that demands an answer.
It lives in the Ajna, which means it doesn’t know truth — it calculates, strategizes, formulates.
This is not the wisdom of the body. This is the logic of the mind — and when it’s out of alignment, it obsesses.
It tries to solve problems that may not even exist. It seeks certainty where there may only be mystery.
But in its gift, Gate 4 offers clarity.
Not because it demands an answer…
But because it waits for the right time to apply one.
During this transit, you may feel the pull to fix, resolve, explain, or prove.
The invitation is to pause instead. Let the questions breathe. Let the answers come when they’re useful — not just available.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
What problem am I trying to solve just to soothe my anxiety?
What would it feel like to wait for clarity instead of chasing it?
Where am I using logic to avoid what I already know intuitively?
What answer am I forcing, and who am I forcing it for?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: You will feel strategic clarity, mental spaciousness, elegant solutions
Gift: You will understand how to move with logic, precision, correct timing
Shadow: It may bring mental fixation, anxiety loops, false certainty
Dilemma: If I push for answers, I distort them. If I wait for the right answer, I have to sit with not knowing.

Gate 29 – The Gate of Saying Yes
─── ✦ ───
Center: Sacral
Channel Connection: 29–46 (Channel of Discovery)
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 29 tests the truth of your yes.
It’s the voice of deep commitment — not surface-level enthusiasm.
It doesn’t ask if something sounds good. It asks: Can you stay in when it gets hard?
This gate pulls you toward experiences that shape you, stretch you, or sanctify you — depending on your alignment.
It’s the “yes” that leads to transformation… or the “yes” that leads to burnout.
The energy of Gate 29 doesn’t lie.
If you commit from soul — it will reward you. If you commit from fear, people-pleasing, or pressure — it will cost you.
During this week, notice what you’re agreeing to.
Not just with your words — with your time, your energy, your body.
You’re not here to say yes to everything.
You’re here to say yes to what’s worth staying for.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
Where have I committed from fear instead of freedom?
What is my body saying yes to — and what is it bracing against?
What does devotion feel like when it’s aligned?
Where am I still stuck in something because I think quitting means failure?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: It allows you to experience devotional commitment, embodied perseverance, sacred trust
Gift: It brings endurance, resilience, discovery
Shadow: It involves overcommitting, self-betrayal, fear-based loyalty
Dilemma: If I say yes from fear, I stay too long. If I say yes from trust, I grow through the fire.

Gate 59 – The Gate of Intimacy
─── ✦ ───
Center: Sacral
Channel Connection: 59–6 (The Channel of Mating)
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 59 brings the power to break barriers between people — physically, emotionally, energetically.
It’s raw. Honest. Tender. Sexual. Spiritual. Vulnerable. Magnetic.
When it’s clean, Gate 59 fosters sacred intimacy, deep truth-telling, and generative connection.
When distorted, it creates forced closeness, trauma-bonding, or leaking of energy and boundaries.
This is the energy of “let me all the way in” — and also “I will not pretend anymore.”
It doesn’t require nudity or sex. It requires truth.
And truth is the gateway to intimacy — not the other way around.
During this week, you may feel a strong pull toward connection… or a strong repulsion from inauthentic closeness.
You’ll feel what’s real. And what’s only pretending to be.
Let this be a time of sacred honesty in your relationships.
Not to break them. But to break the illusion between you.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
Where am I craving closeness but afraid of being seen?
What am I trying to connect to without offering the truth of who I am?
Who feels like a safe place — and who feels like a demand?
What does intimacy feel like in my body when it’s aligned vs. when it’s coerced?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: It provides the energy and safety for authentic intimacy, healing transparency, spiritual vulnerability
Gift: It brings bonding, regeneration, emotional honesty
Shadow: It creates the drive for manipulation, sexual distortion, emotional fusion
Dilemma: If I stay hidden, I stay lonely. If I reveal myself to the wrong people, I get hurt again.

New Moon
─── ✦ ───
Theme
Let the False Intimacy Fall Away
Right on the heels of Gate 59’s deepest pull toward connection, this New Moon arrives to whisper:
“Only the truth gets to stay.”
This moon is not gentle, but it is healing. This new moon invites us into deeper connection than we may be comfortable with. It asks us to shed whatever armor we have put on and to risk being honest. It reminds of the fable about Lady Godiva. A woman so convicted she literally rode naked through the streets of her village to protest what she considered unfair taxation by her own husband of the people she “governed” as his wife.
It will shine light on:
What you’ve been pretending to enjoy in your relationships
Where you’ve been performing connection to avoid being abandoned
Who you’ve let too close without safety or clarity
The self-intimacy you’ve been avoiding in favor of external validation
Let this New Moon be the altar where performance dies. New Moons are for planting.
Plant honesty. Plant wholeness. Plant peace in your nervous system.
Let people meet you — or miss you.
But stop hiding. You’re too sacred for small talk.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for the Full Moon
What version of myself am I still performing to keep people comfortable?
What happens if I stop editing my presence and start offering my truth?
Where am I ready to plant the seed of connection — even if it takes time to grow?

Gate 40 – The Gate of Aloneness
─── ✦ ───
Center: Heart / Ego
Channel Connection: 37–40, (Channel of Community)
Essence & Energetic Impact
Gate 40 teaches the difference between alone and lonely.
It is the energy of the willing provider — the one who works hard, gives deeply, sacrifices with love…but often forgets to ask for rest, reciprocity, or space.
This is the gate of sacred solitude — not to escape others, but to return to yourself.
When active, it may stir exhaustion, resentment, or the urge to disappear for a while.
Don’t judge that. Honor it.
The lesson here is simple but fierce:
You don’t have to earn your rest.
You don’t have to prove your worth through depletion.
You don’t have to keep giving just because you can.
This gate supports both boundaries and belonging.
You get to offer your love without selling your soul for it.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
Where have I over-given in the name of love, loyalty, or identity?
What would it feel like to receive without guilt?
What kind of rest do I actually need — physical, emotional, spiritual?
Who do I become when I stop proving and start allowing?
─── ✦ ───
Highest Expression, Gift, Shadow & Dilemma
Highest Expression: It invites mutual support, healthy boundaries, loving detachment
Gift: There is provision, rest, structured giving
Shadow: Lurks over-functioning, burnout, resentment
Dilemma: If I keep giving, I disappear. If I stop giving, who will still love me?
