The August Forcast

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality. Today we are all tapping in with our spirit guides to get a prediction for August to talk about what we learned in July and to pick up some more psychic information that might benefit you, as well as answering some listener questions. Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality. Today we're talking about predictions for August and a little bit of other little remnants that are going to come up intuitively. And we have the lovely Michelle and Stacy. Hello, ladies. How are y'all? I'm doing well. How are y'all doing?

SPEAKER_00 0:47

I am as good as can be. Hi, hi, hello everybody. The human world's been hard for you. I mean, it's been hard for all of us, but physically hard for you because you broke a rib.

SPEAKER_01 1:00

Yes. Yes. Chilling here in a sling with a broken rib, potentially broken or torn rotator cup and potential uh nerve damage. Good stuff. You need to put bubble wrap around you or something. I know. I like the or something. What would that look like? What is or something?

SPEAKER_00 1:17

I don't know, but you did say something brilliant because you had gotten into an accident and you said that you had help, like you were being watched over, and what an amazing feeling that is to know that your team was right there with you and it could have been much worse, but they helped you out.

SPEAKER_01 1:36

Oh, yeah. Somebody was looking out for me. So I'll I'll share if you don't mind, I'll share briefly kind of what happened is I was in a motorcycle accident. Then that's pretty much the most details that I'm gonna get in that. But I was taken away by ambulance, you know, the sirens, the whole kit, cat and caboodle, they had me in a a neck brace and everything because they weren't sure what I had actually done, but I knew it was something on my left side. So when I got to the hospital, they did, you know, CT scans to make sure I didn't break my neck, x-rays, the whole, you know, gambit that they needed to make sure before they would take me out of the um neck brace neck brace. Thank you. And I didn't realize it until I started looking at the injury that I have. So I not only fractured, but I fractured and dislocated your for your first rib. And your first rib is directly under your collarbone. And it's typically associated with breaking your collarbone or breaking your neck because of the trauma that it takes to get to it. So it's literally kind of like right in here, and it there's a lot of nerves there. There's a lot of just other great stuff. But I I had said before we we got on that someone, some someone was looking out for me because the only thing that I'm I've done, I mean, as of right now, is just fractured and dislocated the rib. They I have to get an MRI and I've got to have a lot of a few other things looked at because I may need surgery, but right now the rib is the only like known issue. So I got very lucky.

SPEAKER_00 3:07

Well, it's always something, isn't it? For sure. Especially right now. I I don't know what's going on. Well, I do know what's going on because I tapped in with my guides, and we had talked about in a future episode, which is now this episode, of maybe getting messages from our guides and sharing them for like the month coming up. And so I did tap in and I know, and I'll just give a little background. Stacy and I have done a lot of card readings together. And it's always so fascinating when you have two different readers, they're seeing the same card and their experience can build on one another. And so I'm very curious to see if that's what happens today. Like if what you're pulling for the month of August is similar to what I'm pulling and how it all comes together.

SPEAKER_01 3:53

So, my question for you, Michelle, is I number one, I love that. Number two, do we want to talk a little bit about the energy in July? Because we're kind of wrapping that up before we dive into August, like what we've seen over the past month. My guides pulled that in that energy of July to the reading or what they shared with me.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

The tumultuous insanity of July energy. Like, let's just clarify this summer has just been a bitch. Like, there's no other word for it. It's the summer of broken dreams and promises, and it's been tough.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Shifting, ending, like hardcore, difficult forward movement that is unexpected, but good, some good. Like I've seen I, you know, there's some really good stuff coming from really hard endings and really hard like like breaks, if that makes any sense.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

It does. And it's not only on the personal level, it's on a national level. I'm hearing it everywhere. Yeah. So I I did tap in with my guides, and just to tell you a little bit about my process, before I tapped in, I drew two cards from my Oracle deck. The first card is how we're going into August, and the last card is how we'll be coming out of August. And then I went and meditated, and then I came back and looked at the cards, and it makes complete sense. So, do you want me to jump in and you guys let's do it?

SPEAKER_01 5:18

Okay. Do it.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

Okay, I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna try not to screw up too much as I'm reading what my guides told me to share. So it says, July brought in an energy of disruption, it was a relentless energy that had led to feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, and defeat. It has been consistent and ruthless. The universe has initiated a change of direction. However, in human form, we weren't listening. And that not listening is now part of the lesson. So that's what they said about July. Do you want to add anything before I go on to what they say about August?

SPEAKER_01 5:50

I'll throw, I'll throw out that a lot of people in July have seen a lot of really harsh, again, endings to things in their lives that they have been maybe not moving forward fast enough for the universe or moving forward too. Like, I know in my life there were certain things that needed to move forward that I was stagnating on, and the universe was like, nope, we're pushing you. We're going to make this happen perhaps sooner than you think you're ready, but this needs to happen now. And so, like for me, like with the accident and everything like that, it really set some things in motion that needed to be set in motion. And I've seen that with a lot of different people. Does that make sense? Completely. Carissa?

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Line was around the Taurus Uranus conjunction, which was last moon, last moon, last Monday, and set Saturday and Sunday and Monday was just lots of energy. And then exhaust exhaustion right after that. July was up and down for me. There were great days, and there were days when it's just the energy was very intense. Fast, fast. Let's say fast energy was fast. Very, very fast energy. I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

And I didn't give you a break. It was like one thing after another. It's almost like it's walling you in from every aspect. That's how I felt in July, anyway. Very overwhelming energy throughout the month for sure. Now, this is what they said about August. August is going to come in with a lesson that we each need to learn. Instead of challenging every obstacle placed in front of us, the energy of this month is asking that you adapt your approach to things. It's encouraging you to think outside of the box. Instead of having a knee-jerk, low vibrational reaction to frustration, this energy wants you to take a moment of pause, release into the obstacle, step into the joy of understanding or seeing the bigger picture, and ask yourself, how can I adapt my approach to flow with the universe? They continue on to say, it's up to you to listen, to concede, and to start working with the chaotic energy, find joy or the silver lining where you can know that the universe is bringing this change for your greatest and highest good, but your comfort zone is being challenged. And that's where the chaos and exhaustion reside. But once you make a small adjustment and start working with this energy, you'll see, know, and feel the reason for it. And then they gave me an example, an image. Sitting here, I'm seeing the image of a person who is walking their dog. The leash is necessary for the safety of the dog, but the dog doesn't know that's why it's wearing it. So it resists, it pulls its axe out, and it can't relax. And as a human, the easiest thing for you to do would be just to remove the leash, leash and give it its own way. However, you know the purpose, so you stay the course. You reassure the dog, maybe you adjust how you hold the leash, and then you try again. And the dog feels that shift, not necessarily understanding it, but seeing that you're committed, that you're kind, and it'll stop fighting that pull against you and it'll learn to work with it for the greatest and highest good of all. So that's kind of where it is. And then it just talks about the universe knows why things are going this way. And it's just asking us to trust it and work with it to step out of our comfort zone and allow the change to help you grow.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

So when you were talking, well, before you started talking, I had the image of a little boy in a big tree and he was walking into the trunk. And this tree is the giving tree. You remember the book, the giving tree, when you were little? Of course. The tree is beautiful, it's not at like the end of the book, and he's stepping into the trunk and going down. Well, I know from shamanism that when you go down, you go into the underworld, and so this image is up to interpretation.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

How does that feel for you? Growth, change, but not like sacrificing your core values, just learning to adapt to what's around you, stepping in and feeling or finding some sort of joy in the moment. I mean, there are things you can't change, but you can find the bright side, you can find a way you can tweak yourself just a little bit to flow with it rather than to keep bumping up against it.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

Well, what's interesting is when we first started talking about doing the predictions in August, is I actually pulled out a tarot deck and just whipped out two cards to see, like I shuffled and pulled out two cards for August. And I mean, I'm I'm in love with this deck because it's just so fun. But I I used a unicorn deck, and the first part I'll show you, it's the five of cups just because they're cute. And then the second half is the the three of cups. And so, you know, one of the things that you had said, yeah, three of three of cups. I love it. I that didn't even click in my brain until just now, either, just so you know. It's the med you're on. Something, the something I'm on. So one of the things that you had said, Michelle, is is one stepping into August, we're going to be really working on how we react versus respond or respond versus react. And when I look at these cards, I'm getting the same kind of message. July has been a challenge for most individuals that I've spoken to, and I'm sure you guys can kind of attest to that. And as we kind of clear out, you know, July into August, we're going to be clearing, you we're going to be stepping into that emotional like, how do we move forward? What does this look like? How does this feel? How do we process moving forward? And how do we need, like, how do we let go, you know, the things that perhaps last month didn't feel good? And and, you know, it's going to be kind of navigating, at least for the first half. But looking at the three of cups, the three of cups comes in it's a celebration card, and it's an emotional celebration card. It's supposed to be, you know, stepping into kind of this almost in a period of ease. So my interpretation is kind of we're coming down off of the mountain right now. We're coming down off of this mountain of like struggle into shifting and flowing and learning how to flow after the challenge into ease. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Complete sense. And it really aligns with the two cards that I selected also.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

I told you it would.

SPEAKER_00 11:56

I know it always does. Yeah. So going into August, the card I drew is called Hanniel Silver or Hanniel. It's one of the archangels. And her name means joy of God. That's what it means. And it's really talking about going inside, finding the joy, and letting it lead you on the path and like let go of the chaos around you. And when you're in sync with who you are, when you know when you what you need to do, everything will flow through. And that she is there to guide and help you into that feeling of harmony, that feeling of balance. So that was the first card. It's like we're going to be guided and helped and pulled along the way. Now the second card just really fascinates me. And I can't even believe this is a card I drew, but it says everything's okay. And there's a letter there, and the letter is from the universe, and it says big news. And it really is a call to like as you start to settle with this new energy and just taking baby steps, adjusting a little bit, again, not bumping up against it, you're going to start seeing those signs of okay, I see the ending or I see things starting to let up. And the the words on this card are reassurance, support, guidance, and being like overseen.

SPEAKER_02 13:14

So I love those.

SPEAKER_01 13:16

Isn't that so interesting? And you know, it's it's like, you know, you were prefacing or you were saying that when we used to do the card readings together, like they they used to kind of flow, flow, flow really well. Isn't it isn't it like cool how they still it's it's easy just to step into that space and and make it happen?

SPEAKER_00 13:33

Yeah, and just let it all flow together naturally. And then going back to the image that Carissa saw of the growing tree, what is a growing tree? It's there to teach the child a lesson. And that lesson, it's not gonna happen overnight. It just keeps going and going and going until he finally steps into it and understands all I really needed was to center, be myself, have time to rest and regroup.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

And and I'll I'll even throw on with Chris's image too. Like to me, that's like you're stepping out of this tumultuous time or this like really major struggle and you're growing from it, but you know, and so to me, it's very it can be very literal too, which is really clean.

SPEAKER_00 14:12

Sure can. Yeah, cool. Yeah. So anything else you guys want to add about August or July or what you see coming up for I don't know anything.

SPEAKER_02 14:25

I got the word gratitude, and that there may be some tumultuous stuff that goes on around you. And how can you find gratitude and joy in your life? If you want to stop the wars outside yourself, you have to tend to the wars inside you. So kind of remember that like stay in the state of joy. Say it so there may be some because they're showing me like waves, but you know, like a storm, big waves. Just can you find your way back to gratitude and joy while it's happening?

SPEAKER_01 14:58

Well, and and I think I'll add on to that because you know, we're talking about some major stuff that's happening just in the world in general, and so one of the reminders that I'll throw out there is to allow yourself a break from the stuff that's happening outside your own life, too. Allow yourself a break from the big, bad, and ugly things that are happening in the world. And on top, and I'm gonna just kind of layer on to what Carissa said, stepping into gratitude is one of the highest vibrations we can find. So finding gratitude for the things that you have in your life will help you push through the big and bad stuff that's happening outside of your own personal stuff.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

And it's really important too to make that a part of your daily routine. And I know I believe it was Carissa, maybe she's already shared it on the podcast, but a gratitude journal every morning, waking up and writing three things that you're grateful for. And they could be just small, random, insignificant things. It doesn't matter. You find gratitude in them, and that's enough. It's enough to remind you everything's okay. Like I can find gratitude in the small things, I can find them in the big things, and to help you come to center. And again, balance feels really big here. Absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

It's a way to keep your vibration high.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Yeah. And speaking of vibration, like I do have a question about this. It's kind of a question I've been thinking about a lot since we did the empath episode. If we remember back, Carissa was talking about how sometimes she is around certain people and those people start, they're gossipy. And so she finds herself stepping into being a little bit of a gossip who, and it's not who she is. So when she's around those people, it's lowering her vibration a little bit because gossip is a lower vibration, and she's just stepping into it because, you know, that's what we do as empaths. So it really had me thinking about when we try to connect spiritually to our guides or that which is greater, because it's really all on us. We do as much as we can here to raise our vibration, and we can only raise it so high. So there's a point where the guides have to like lower theirs a little bit to bring that gap, you know, a little bit closer so we can have those experiences with them. We can see them or hear them or however they choose to come through. But I was wondering, how do you think they lower their vibration? What do they do to do that?

SPEAKER_01 17:33

You know, I'm gonna be perfectly honest. And I'm gonna say I don't think they lower theirs. I think they help us raise ours to match theirs.

SPEAKER_00 17:45

So they close the gap just by bringing us even. Like we're working, we're doing all we can on a human level. And even though we could be the highest vibrating person around, but they're gonna human.

SPEAKER_01 17:56

Yeah, they're gonna help us bridge that gap. That makes sense. I mean, at least that's my interpretation, Carissa. What do you think?

SPEAKER_02 18:03

Yeah, I didn't get anything about how they lower it. I got an image of Archangel Michael uh doing his wings.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Yeah, I mean, I I think that feels more right because we are raising our vibration, and as long as we're putting the work in, I don't really think that they're gonna lower theirs. I think they're just gonna kind of elevate us up so that we can connect when we need to. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Yeah. And remember, there's no stupid question, even when I ask it.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

No, no, there it definitely not a stupid question at all. Like that's all because you you made me pause and think. Like, that's not, I hadn't even considered how the how the bridge was gapped.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

And I did have someone also kind of ask the question about having a loved one who has passed. And we may have talked about this before, and how they so want to connect with them, and they thought for sure, yep, I'm gonna get that message. And a couple years later, they still haven't got it. So they're wondering what they could do or what they're doing wrong. And I'm just wondering if you guys want to take a moment with that question.

SPEAKER_02 19:09

You're not doing anything wrong. Honestly, the first thing that came up is a clock about timing, and it could happen seven years from now. And so, for whoever asked this question, what I'm getting for you is timing.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

And you know, there's potential that you're not supposed to get the message. So we have to remember that when we lose loved ones, when when people pass away, if when if they come back with messages for us, it's what we need in the in the in that at that point in our lives. And it's not always what we want, it's what we need. So we're not going to necessarily get closure. We're not necessarily going to get, you know, the apology that we're dreaming of or the reason behind a decision that was made, or, you know, insert any of those human things there because they are not in their human emotions anymore. They are high vibrational beings that are looking at you on your path moving forward and where your path is headed. And they are so path focused that the stuff that we're looking for as humans just doesn't necessarily apply.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

I totally agree. You are doing absolutely nothing wrong. It's just timing. It might be the way that your loved one communicates with you. It could be they're communicating with you all the time, but you're so focused on seeing them or hearing them or one specific message that you're they could be reaching out to you through coins, like my grandfather does. I know he's around because he drops nickels or not nickels, but pennies or dimes for me. So I know he's there and I know that's a sign for him. And I have other ones for other people. So just be open to how it might come through. You're gonna see a pattern emerge. And just because your first way of wanting to see it or experience it isn't happening doesn't mean that it won't happen. Right.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

And so this may be for that specific person, but I also got an image of a candle, which is reminding me to say, sit down with the candle, close your eyes, get into a meditative space, meditative space, and go back to the place in your loved one's house where they hung out the most. I'm getting kind of like kitchen, breakfast area, I don't know, and sit with them and imagine yourself talking, having a cup of coffee or tea, whatever you would do, and imagine it and feel it. And every day sit down at that table, or it could be the couch, wherever, have a conversation with them. Five minutes. Five minutes, see what comes up, see what comes up. At least commit it for 30 days. Once a day for 30 days, five minutes. Let's just see.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

It goes along too with that just feeling of just talk to them, have a conversation, let them know that you're open to it. And I think it's beautiful that you brought. In that physical space that meant so much to them where they spent most of their time because that's just an added layer, and that is beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

I agree. I think that's it's a it's a great practice, and just five minutes a day is not necessarily you're not giving up hours, hours, hours. And I think you know, one of the things that I'm gonna throw out there is when you start like practicing as like an intuitive of any sort, or you start any sort of practice, the smaller you start it, the more likely likely you are to succeed. So I know for me, meditation and stepping into a practice like Carissa just presented, I would be game for like, I'm gonna go sit for 20 minutes. And then two minutes in, I'm like pride, and I'm like, I can't, I've got 18 more minutes. What am I gonna do for the next 18 minutes? I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna think about how much time I've got left. And I'm losing all of the purpose behind it. So, you know, I love Carissa that you said five minutes. And if five minutes is too much for you, do too. Like, start small if if you're not in the habit of doing a meditative practice or a visualization practice of any sort.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Oh, yeah. I've been there where my very first couple of times meditating, it's like, yep, I'm going in for 20 minutes. I'm setting my timer so I can come back. And after like five minutes, I'm like, I can't hold this anymore. I I've got to come back.

SPEAKER_01 23:18

I still have like I can meditate now pretty, pretty well, but I don't have enough of a regular practice for me to be able to sit down even for 20 minutes. Like that is, it's almost like I'm torturing myself, which is why I always share that I meditate when I'm doing household chores. Like I'm meditating and I'm I'm sitting in that space and being present in the the process of doing those things. So yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

So Chris, so you just look like you have something to say there. No, but where is she gonna go with this?

SPEAKER_02 23:51

I can't wait to only do five to 10 minutes every morning. And sometime, well, I was thinking of something. You're right. But during COVID, you know, remember when everything was shut down the first month and two? Yep. I cannot believe. I still look back. I mean, I don't want to go back to COVID and being locked down. Good lord, no. But I was able to drop in immediately in that meditative space. I know there's some kind of yoga word for it, I don't know what it is, but it's just like, and I mean it would be three seconds, it was so nice, but the energy of the world was all was quiet. Yeah, and that definitely will impact it. It's fascinating.

SPEAKER_00 24:36

It's hard to believe that that was, you know, four and a half years ago. Time is flying by, and I mean it's this human timeline that's just crazy. It's just flying by.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Yes, it's just like it feels like it hasn't even stopped since COVID.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

Nothing is for Summed back to Wait a second, like there is no such thing as normal anymore. Everything is just bizarre and crazy, you know. I know like we don't have the the implementations that were put in place during COVID, but like everywhere I go, I'm like, are we even human anymore? Like, what is people? And that that was very intentional. What is people? Like, come on, it's bizarre. We live in a very bizarre time.

SPEAKER_00 25:23

Yeah, we sure do. And again, August, hopefully you'll all experience the slowdown, learning to work with the energy around you, um, instead of butting up against it all the time and challenging it and just letting it help you grow, let you move like those waves. And I'm so excited because I do have to share and I'm so grateful, gratitude, that you guys are gonna let me talk about the Velisca house in the next episode.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

I'm so excited to hear about it.

SPEAKER_00 25:52

I'm so excited, but I am freaking out a little bit too, because I want to do the whole experience justice. I want people to understand why I get so inspired by what I do, and I'm a little nervous about doing the justice. You should be nervous because we're gonna pick it apart. I know you are. Yeah, supportive it all. I'm just kidding. I am super excited. It was a wonderful experience. So just hoping to do it justice and people can understand why we're drawn to this sort of thing. So, anything else you ladies want to say or share before we close this episode out?

SPEAKER_01 26:27

All right. Well, on that note, I'll just say stay classy, and stay badassy.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

Bye, everybody.
