August Augury copyright M.Masino 2013 all right reserved.
The idea of fate as a spiritual driving force combined with and personified by the august or divine will expressed through the higher self qualities of your sun sign is the astrological theme of the month of August. Each zodiac sign has it’s higher or divine version and the esoteric journey of reclamation is known as spiritual astrology.
In the Tarot the divine or elevated “august” sun is represented by The Sun card where a zodiac encircles a divine child of light, the design clearly relates to the original Sol Invictus. While the permanent ascension to the higher self ( Hermeticism goal ) is represented by the Virgo Hermit card, the struggle between the divine and the lower self is illustrated by the Leo ruled Strength card with it’s depiction of a spiritual woman taming a red lion through the use of solar occult powers of light and love.
