Sage Energy Forecast: August 2026 — The Wisdom of the Holly Moon
Channeled by Venus | The Sage Pages
The Holly Moon and the Shift Toward Darkness
We are gathered here today to speak with you about the energy of the Holly Moon and the ending of this cycle of life. As you have probably already noticed, the days are getting shorter, and you are moving into the darker phase of the year.
We have just come through Mercury retrograde. You may have felt a desire to relax, to rest, to reorganize your life in a way different from before. The whole world is going through a reorganization. It is a time for change, and things are being moved around. Things that no longer serve are being questioned, and perhaps let go. And things that were not so important before are becoming more and more important.
The Value of In-Person Connection
Many of you have felt the importance of being together in person, whether for coffee, or a walk, or simply to talk and be together. COVID-19 took a great deal online, and this has been a valuable tool, to be sure. But there remains a necessity to connect with people, to commune with nature, to cuddle with your animals. It is an interesting time, one of reflection, on what has worked and what no longer works.
As you come out of the Mercury retrograde shadow, we invite you now to step forward confidently, knowing you are moving in a direction more aligned with who you truly are, with what you truly value, with a desire to serve the greater good.
Shifting Focus from Problems to Possibilities
One thing many of you may have found does not work is focusing on problems, believing that if you focus on them, they will solve themselves. We invite you to look at it differently. If you did not focus on the problems, would there be any problems? What would you notice instead?
Consider the glass half full of water, or the glass half empty. What are you focusing on? Or the wolf of fear and the wolf of courage. Which one are you feeding? Some of you have come to believe one choice is wrong and the other right, and that is not true. They are simply choices. But focusing on the problems tends only to create more problems, instead of asking: what is the beauty underneath this? How is this working out in my favor? Remember, the universe is always conspiring for you, never against you.
The Parable of Gratitude
This is much like the parable of the man who dug until he found a little bit of water, and in his gratitude for that little water, discovered just over the hill a great lake where he could drink to his heart’s content. His gratitude grew what was possible. Had he stayed in judgment, in that negative state, he may never have moved from the spot where he stopped to give up. But he accepted help from a friend who offered him a little water, and he chose gratitude.
It is the same with your life. Perhaps right now you have a little money, and not the amount you would like. Have you focused on what you lack, instead of being grateful for what you do have? Perhaps you would like your relationships to be greater. Can you be grateful for the relationships you do have, and watch that gratitude grow into a life that is abundant, inspiring, joyful, and connected?
What Would Remain If All Else Fell Away?
If everything you had today were gone tomorrow, what would remain? What would matter? Many who lose their homes to fire discover how grateful they are simply to be alive. There are those who once had everything, and in our eyes still do, yet in their own eyes, or the eyes of others, seem to have lost it all. Have they? Or are they richer, more abundant, more wealthy than ever, because of their gratitude? This is the energy of the Holly Moon, the energy this full moon brings to you now.
The Invitation to Release and Choose Gratitude
In the spirit of clearing, as we let go with the full moon, we invite you to ask: can you let go of needing a problem to solve? Can you let go of needing a problem in order to feel worthy? Would you be willing to release the focus on problems, and choose gratitude instead?
It is always a joy to be with you, Beloved. We will see you on the next full moon.
We are Sage. Namaste
