August Oracle Intuitive Reading - Gratitude - Year Wheel 2025
Gratitude
“This is a glorious time to be alive, and I am so grateful!”
We come into August and find our card is from the Soul Coaching® Oracle Cards. The card is Gratitude – nice! On this Gratitude card we have this beautiful woman in this burgundy-maroon kind of colour dress. Her arms are up celebrating. She is on a teal blue-like surface. In the background there are little flecks going down diagonally. The affirmation on this card says, “This is a glorious time to be alive, and I am so grateful!”.
We move from the July Skull of Light card which I think has many more depths for people so I would love to hear what it meant for you in July. Then we come into Gratitude which of course it can be a great practice and is very valuable to connect with you with you, to connect you with your present moment, and to connect you with life, and with that feeling of thankfulness and gratefulness. It is also a time to celebrate life, so celebrate the abundance of life. For those of us in the northern hemisphere it comes more naturally because we are at a peak growing phase in August, harvests are happening, blooms are happening, life is in the garden, the trees are all green… For those of you who know, I do I enjoy native plant gardening, trying vegetable gardening, and exploring what life there is in the garden!
We get all of that and with this card, we are brought into the awareness that things can shift and change really fast. The cycles and the circle of life can be long, and they can also be really short. Different species have a totally different length but even within humans sometimes things shift and change very, very, fast. This Gratitude card in August 2025, is asking you specifically to look at Gratitude around circle of life and around the cycle of life. Look at those people close to you. Maybe you have somebody who has shifted their beingness recently or over the last few years, has walked on or passed over. Really notice how that has affected you. Notice what you are grateful for around their living, their life, their passing, all of that. Then bring your Gratitude into who is present with you because it is “a glorious time to be alive and I'm so grateful”.
Now, if life is going more challenged in August for you, and feeling more difficult, then the great Gratitude is a base place to help you to see in your life what is valuable and helpful. It is also useful to shift energies from perhaps focusing on all the tough stuff to seeing things that are helpful and valuable. It can also open doors so that you can get different support from your Spirit Team as well as from humans. I hope you get lots and lots of support in whatever ways you need!
The other thing you want to check in with especially if things are feeling a bit tough, difficult, challenging, or stormy in August 2025 for you, with this Gratitude card, is this idea brought by the little flecks behind her, if you want to see them this way. They could be rain which we can love of course but sometimes it can come too much. Those flecks can also signify for me almost a partially invisible fence or web or curtain, that you can not really get beyond. The Gratitude comes in to help you with that, but in August it is also asking you to really notice. Notice where you are getting in your own way, where you are always thinking a certain thing that is not helpful. Are you repeating a cycle and seeing it over and over and over again? Are you turning to people who you know do not have the equipment or the capacity to be helpful and valuable to you and supportive in that way? It is really a check-in with what is kind-of curtaining you off from a helped life. Acknowledging that if there are systemic things in the world or in your community that are also not helping because of other people's decisions, then allow yourself to see that and do not take it on. Notice it, register it, send out vibes of change and of improvement. Send out vibes of maybe not being so greedy, for certain people, or not being so hostile for others. Or for just needing clarity and needing that bigger perspective that we have seen with other cards so far this year. Then come back into your Gratitude for your needs, with what is happening for you, and where you can shift that veil, that wall, or that curtain, and open it. See what is then there for you that could be represented as Gratitude.
Check in with all of that. Check in with what could be stuck in your energy, in your way of thinking, in your way of being, that is actually not yours. It could be put upon you by somebody in your life. What they said, how they act(ed), what they brought to you in terms of behavior… and you had to react to it. But it could also be past life. It could be family cycles that are going down family lines, family trends or ways of doing something. It could be something you experienced in a past life that might make no sense to you now but you always react a particular way or you always have that kind of experience, you always feel walled off or closed in, in that way. This would be an invitation to work with someone to get that shifting, to get healing, to work with yourself, meditate, and pay attention to your thoughts so that the curtain opens and that trend of whatever that is, gets dissipated and healed, and can just be done! So it can be done for you and something else can move in.
And Gratitude will also be helpful in that “This is a glorious time to be alive, and I am so grateful!”.
Peace and Love, Light – full of gratitude, glory, and thankful living,
