Feeling the heat August 39ers?
Whatever cool way you’re celebrating
your birthday month, no doubt somewhere, life-of-the-party Leos (07/23 – 08/22) are turning impish Virgos (08/23 – 09/22) on to some cool party tricks during these
hot, steamy days.
August was originally known as Sextilis
in Latin, and held
the sixth month place on the calendar until around 700BC (talk about confusing
the masses). But it wasn’t enough for Augustus to
establish the Roman Empire – his many triumphs inspired the powers that be to
rename and move Sextilis to the eighth month in commemoration of the month’s numerous
victories.
So Leos, wielding boisterous words
with a Gladiolus
stalk like the “sword lily” your birth month flower is, you can be sure to
command attention, taking your slice of summer life to the hilt.
Virgos seeking something a little
more sedate? Try a trip to Arizona for some Peridot hunting!
The desert is famous for its Peridot
gem quality.
It’s easy to believe stories of its
magical powers and healing properties, as the bright green birthstone mesmerizes
with multi-layered cool, green depths.
OK, snap out of it – time to get on
with the month – and on with the party, August
39ers!
Celebrate the day and take your mind
off the heat. Aw heck, just celebrate the whole month, creating an oasis of
diversions – in your mind, if not in deed – that toast your life. You deserve
it!
