AUGUST 01: The Energy Forecast.

<p><strong>This is a month to work with our fear of the dark.</strong></p><p>August arrives in the peak of Leo season, full of brightness and expansion - but the real invitation this month is to turn toward what dark parts of self are illuminated in all this light. </p><p>In this forecast, I tune into the energy of the upcoming month and walk through how to work with what may be presenting - how spot the patterns and behaviors we&#39;ve denied in ourselves, how to use our judgments as a clue to where our own growth lies: what we can&#39;t stand in others is often a quieter, subtler version of something in the self not being faced. </p><p>This isn&#39;t about punishing ourselves for our unfavorable behaviors, it is about witnessing them to clear space for greater personal power waiting to be reclaimed. </p><p><br></p><p>As always, insights are then offered on how this energy may present for our three core areas of life - our vocation, our health, and our relationships.</p><p><br></p><p>May it be a month of great illumination.</p><p><br></p><p>With love, Fiona Jane</p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p>[ <a href="https://www.porter11211.com/porter-practice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> PORTER / PRACTICE</a> ] - The membership.</p><p>[ <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1usLpx9z9IHGzHHlUgV2Xy?si=Bj7PO_3qRx2M5yOnsTGutA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">AUGUST. 2026.</a> ] - The playlist.</p><p>[ <a href="porter11211.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">SUBSCRIBE</a> ] - Join the mailing list.</p><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>This episode covers:</strong></p><ul><li>August energy forecast and how Leo season&#39;s light illuminates our shadow work</li><li>How judgment reveals the parts of ourselves we&#39;ve denied</li><li>The three-phase process of facing a shadow pattern: guilt, anger, acceptance</li><li>Projection in business relationships, new collaborations, and romantic connections</li><li>Where we punish loved ones for past hurt, and how to notice it</li><li>Somatic tools for release: dance, movement, and journaling</li><li>This month&#39;s PORTER / PRACTICE meditation theme: radiance and light</li></ul>
