August's Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take
August is bringing major shifts — and it feels way better than July! In this episode, Maia shares her exciting energetic forecast for August 2025, and it’s all about luck, transformation, and alignment.
🌟 Theme of the month: Luck
🐞 Spirit animal: Ladybug — a symbol deeply connected to both Jamie the Great (who may have been one in a past life!) and Maia, who has two ladybug tattoos for her kids.
🎱 Magic 8 Ball vibes: It’s time to ask for what you want.
We’re currently in the powerful Lion’s Gate Portal, peaking on 8/8, when Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, floods the Earth with high-frequency light. Maia explains how to manifest what you want by aligning with the energy of already having it.
Don’t worry — if that sounds too woo for you, we also get real: manifestation is about taking aligned action.
🔮 Tarot Reading – Both cards are from the Disks suit (finances, health, career, physical world):
- 6 of Disks: Success, transformation, and good fortune
- 2 of Disks: Change that leads to expansion and stability
Together they add up to 8 — reinforcing the 8/8 portal power.
⚠️ Maia’s warning: Beware of comparison. Stay in your lane, in your energy.
✨ Key topics:
- August 2025 energy forecast
- Lion’s Gate portal 8/8
- Spirit animals and signs
- Tarot reading and numerology
- Manifestation + aligned action
- How to avoid the comparison trap
Get into the frequency of success, ask for what you want, and let the universe meet you there.
