Today’s I Ching Hexagram for August 6th is 15: Humility
15: Humility

General Meaning: Humility is often rewarded in human affairs, just as the erosion of a great mountain fills the valley. It is the way of nature to fill the empty cup. Regardless of your position, humility is a positive and deceptively powerful attribute. If you are in a high position but are still humble, people will be drawn to you and the causes you espouse. If your position is lowly, humility will endear you to those of higher status. True humility is a virtue to which all should aspire.
The most successful and happiest people are those who know how to bring each situation into balance by reducing that which is too great, and adding to that which is too little. Such a person craves not power, but balanced and stable relationships. Humility is the virtue that supplies the balancing power, as humble people are not prey to the many illusions that grow out of self-importance. If humility is not natural to your disposition, make a conscious effort to develop a strain of self-effacing humor.
Your Daily Number for August 6th: 5

Today’s Tarot Card for August 6th is The Moon
The Moon

This Tarot Deck: Universal Waite
The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 6th

You may be able to see through the veneer of social niceties today, revealing someone’s fears that are usually kept safely hidden. You can sense an unspoken agenda, even if others act in a lighthearted manner. Your current intuitiveness might prompt you to retreat because you’re not sure that you want to engage on that level. But don’t withdraw too quickly; the person you thought was being negative could turn out to be your closest ally if you give him or her a chance.

You may be worried that a relationship won’t meet your expectations today. Instead of overcoming your fear and scheduling a memorable encounter, you might choose to just settle back into your familiar routine. However, this laid-back approach probably isn’t your best strategy and could leave you feeling disappointed with your choice. Taking the safest route now won’t necessarily help you reach your destination, so open up your heart and make the first move.

Today you may be confronted with an important piece of information that you previously overlooked. You might have innocently assumed that others would support your ideas and admire your creativity. Unfortunately, strong emotional undercurrents raise concerns as you try to comprehend the complexity of the situation. Don’t try to figure it all out now; the energy will shift tomorrow and you’ll gain a clearer understanding of your options.

You feel pretty even-keeled now, even if a little money problem comes to the surface that requires your immediate attention. You can try to analyze the situation and logically determine your best course of action, but your solution may not come through cool reason today. The best answers will arise more easily once you stop seeking them so desperately.

Your life isn’t as carefree as others assume just because you make it appear as if you are having a lot of fun, even when you’re troubled. Your defense mechanisms can effectively hide a very deep well of feelings today. But just going through the motions isn’t very rewarding, so share some of what’s on your mind with someone you trust. If you’re having a hard time starting the conversation, write down your thoughts and use your notes to get the ball rolling.

Although you want to balance your desires with what others need, your good intentions could run into resistance today. It seems as if it would be easier to just gloss over your annoyance if you think that someone is keeping a secret. However your suspicion can turn into anger if you don’t voice your concerns. Ironically, you may be wrong about your hunch, but you’ll feel relieved once your fears are out in the open.

Although you try to maintain your cool today, you know big changes are coming that could impact your closest relationships. Even if the shift seems far away, you’re already feeling the pressure internally. Thankfully, you are able to find your way back to the center now if you concentrate on your core values instead of on external events. If you remain true to your highest ideals then everything else will, hopefully, fall into place.

You don’t need people to tell you what you already know, and anyone who is overly critical today may be rudely surprised at the intensity of your response. However, you don’t necessarily want to be alone; it’s just that you yearn for meaningful contact with your most supportive friends. Those who are seeking shallow social banter could get an earful when you share the truth as you see it. There’s no need to hold back now; just be ready to deal with the consequences of your honesty.

You aren’t interested in sharing your feelings today while the Moon visits your 12th House of Secrets. Even if others think that you’re baring your soul, you have more going on internally than they realize. In fact, your philosophical ramblings can cleverly hide the real juice. Keep in mind that you might not benefit from changing your tactics. It may be wiser to take the conversation to the next level only when you’re ready to be more vulnerable.

You may be more reserved in your conversations with others today as you reconsider what you really want from your relationships. Although you aren’t likely to isolate yourself completely, you’re wary about getting entangled with someone who might create unnecessary drama. Trust your instincts and be ready to walk away from a situation that could complicate your life without offering you any benefits.

You most likely have admirable intentions today, yet your plan may be thwarted through no fault of your own. Naturally, you cannot control all the variables in your surroundings, but you can take full responsibility for your response to a situation. Paradoxically, an overly positive reaction could be just as problematic as a very negative one. Avoiding emotional extremes enables you to make the best of these tricky circumstances.

Your heightened awareness today puts you in touch with emotions that may be challenging to integrate. But denying your feelings can create a whole other set of problems. You could inadvertently disconnect from the source of your inspiration if you shut down your compassion. Thankfully, you’re able to move through your day gracefully as long as you remember to keep checking in with your heart.
Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Aug. 5th – Aug. 7th

by Jeff Jawer
All or NothingAugust 5 – 7 |
Controlling your passion is a key to enjoying this weekend, which starts off with the Moon’s move into emotionally intense Scorpio on Friday morning. This lunar placement is all about desire and the craving for connection. But there’s a paradox within Scorpio’s nature — this sign can provoke risky personal behavior, but sometimes the depth of personal needs is so great that the tendency is to withdraw and hide from others. Being secretive, of course, does not earn trust, but blazing eyes and a hungry heart can frighten some people away.
Managing these extreme emotions well includes learning how and when to share them. Stop and consider the person you are with and his or her capacity to respond. There’s no sense in being overly seductive in a public place or with a shy individual who can be embarrassed by this kind of behavior. Profound interest in another can be expressed in subtle ways that allow you to move toward intimacy without making a big show of it. Seek out quiet places where whispered conversations and gentle touches cultivate the romantic connection you want.
The Moon’s placement in passionate Scorpio can also peel away layers of politeness and practicality to reveal what you want most from a partner. It’s hard to settle for less or to dance around emotions with this lunar position. You either want all of someone or nothing at all, making it less comfortable to engage in light chitchat or playful flirtations.
The mood lightens considerably on Sunday morning when the Moon fires into outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius, pulling you out of the deep emotional waters and lifting the heavy veils of intensity so playtime can begin. Relationship dramas fade so you can have the freedom to stretch your wings to explore new worlds or to embark on a fun adventure with the one you love.
