August is the month of Strength and the ability to tame the great lion, symbol of our wild nature within. The long warm summer days are at its peak, and so is our physical strength and endurance. We have built up health for the coming winter months, planted new seeds that will sprout and carry us through the dark hours. This is a time of physical reflection and assessment, and with this outer realization comes a new and deeper inner harmony that generates growth in all aspects of our being. Everything that is wanting is now assuaged and our fears are overcome. Health and Fortitude are with us now.
