August 2026 Energy - Why Everything Feels Delayed Right Now

As I sit here writing this month's energy update from New Delhi, I can hear the constant chorus of horns honking outside my Airbnb window. If you've ever been to Delhi, you know exactly what I mean. There seems to be an entire language communicated through honking here! Cars, scooters, tuk tuks, bicycles, buses, cows…everyone is moving in every direction randomly all over the street, and yet somehow magically they all arrive exactly where they're supposed to, even if they are all running a little bit late.

It made me laugh to listen to background honking while I type because that's exactly what the energy of August feels like. Everything IS moving toward your bigger goal, but not necessarily according to your original timing.

Okay…Here are the main themes for August:

• Delays are possible and the feeling of perpetually "running late."• The Lion's Gate is on your side, though, helping delayed manifestations move forward.• Celebration and reconnection with old friends and family.

Let's dive in!

Have you been feeling like something is taking longer than it should?

Maybe you've had a deadline that keeps getting pushed back. Maybe you've been waiting for someone else's decision before you can move forward. You've done everything you know to do, and now you're wondering why nothing seems to be happening in the timing you planned. Or maybe you have quite literally had the experience that you or those you are meeting with are running late to appointments. You might be sitting there laughing because this keeps happening to you!

I've already been noticing this energy in my own life. There are several things that I imagined would already be well into motion by now, and yet they continue to be delayed, unfolding in their own timing. My knee-jerk reaction, and maybe yours too, is to ask, "What else do I need to do? What am I missing?"

But that isn't the message I am receiving from the August energy. You are being asked to wait a little longer.

Not because you've done something wrong or missed an opportunity. It's because something isn't quite sorted out yet in the execution of the plan. There are moving pieces behind the scenes that you can't see yet.

If you panic during this stage, you actually just make yourself miserable trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem.

Instead, I feel that the energy is saying to step back for a little while. Go work on something else or spend time with people you love. Go have some fun and let it all breathe. Basically, just stop watching the clock and wondering why everything feels delayed.

Then we arrive at the Lion's Gate on August 8th.

Every year, I love tuning into this portal because it carries such beautiful manifestation energy. This year, though, it doesn't feel like it's about creating something completely new. It feels more like a gentle push that helps everything that has been sitting in limbo finally begin moving again.

The missing piece you've been waiting for finally arrives. The person calls. The opportunity finally appears. The paperwork gets signed. The conversations happen. (Yes, please and thank you, Lion's Gate!)

By the end of August, I feel like the new, rearranged timeline will finally reveal itself. You'll probably look back and realize, oh yeah, that makes sense. The delay wasn't working against you. It was working for you (as always)!

The second thing I kept seeing is making me happy because the energy became much lighter

is opportunities for celebration.

I kept seeing people gathered around tables sharing meals or BBQs together. Friends reconnecting after not seeing each other for a long time. Family, friend gatherings, and celebrations that almost seem spontaneous.

It feels like people are catching up or finding each other again. August has that feeling of picking right back up where you left off with people, almost as if no time has passed at all.

I hope these messages bring you a little more clarity if you've been wondering why everything feels a bit delayed. Keep taking the next inspired step, and trust that the pieces are coming together, even if you can't quite see how yet.

Here's to a joyful August full of wonderful surprises! Email me back if this message resonates with you!

Quick Update!

After lots of conversations, feedback, and listening to what people needed, we've decided to move our Sacred Voyage to Kerala, India, to January 16–26, 2027.

One of the biggest things our team kept hearing was that this November was not a great time for many people to travel. (I am laughing as I write this because I was just sharing about delays.) So we took that to heart and found dates that we believe will make it much easier for those who have been dreaming of experiencing India.

If you've been following along with my travels and you're curious about Kerala or you've been thinking, "Maybe someday..." I'd love to invite you to our Kerala Q&A and Information Zoom on August 9th.

We'll share all the details about the journey, including what we'll experience, where we'll stay, what's included, how our team makes traveling in India easy and comfortable, and you'll have the chance to ask any questions.

Register here for the Kerala Q&A ZOOM.

I would absolutely love to see you there and share what I love about traveling in India.

All the best,
