Here is the Astrology Forecast for August: August is a month of shifting sands. They bring reminders of the past, wake-up calls from unfinished business and hints of what’s to come this fall. It’s a definite, palpable time of transition, taking us from the upheaval of the last few years to the situations and structures growing out of it.

Think of this as summer break between semesters in school. Enjoy the moments of fun and catching up with friends, and deal decisively with the prep and clean-up work that comes up. As the month progresses, the atmosphere will shift from fixed to flexible and hurry us along.

It may feel at times as if you are reliving multiple summers at once, what with the memories, artifacts and old friends floating across your radar. They’re answering the call of Venus’ retrograde in Leo (through September 6), which is summoning reminders of much that was important to you, once upon a time:  old flames, friends, and people who were a bit of both; talents and pastimes; jobs; even belongings, clothing and toys.

The ancient Indian spice turmeric strikes again! A study finds turmeric extract selectively and safely killing cancer stem cells in a way that chemo and radiation can not.

A groundbreaking study published in the journal Anticancer Research reveals that one of the world’s most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment: the primary polyphenol in the ancient spice turmeric known as curcumin, has the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, which are at the root of cancer malignancy, while having little to no toxicity on normal stem cells, which are essential for tissue regeneration and longevity.

When I met Luna a few years ago she was experiencing great levels of anxiety. When she went to the doctor and explained her situation, they prescribed her with high levels of SSRI anti-depression medication. Months later, after reading all the endless long-term side effects of using those drugs, I immediately suggested she get off them.

My interest in Western psychology began as soon as I moved to Australia in my adolescence. For as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in the study of the minds relation with life. Growing up, I was taught that everything in the world was interconnected, that our perceptions of a divided reality are veils of illusions and dreamlike perceptions we create. My great-grandmother had a saying I still remember to this day:

En este mundo traidor; nada es verdad ni mentira, todo es según el color del cristal con que se mira.

‘In this deceitful world; nothing is true nor false, everything is the color of glass through which you look at life.’

Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality. ~John W. Gardner

In my last article I explored the psychology of self-pity. In this article, we’ll delve into 13 of the best ways to nip your moping in the bud.

Just to recap, self-pity is defined by:

• An inability to accept a situation or circumstance in your life.
• Cogitating over your issues and troubles constantly.
• Dejectedness, gloominess and depression.
• The feeling that you’re a victim of something or someone (e.g. the “persecution complex”).
• The unexpressed thirst for the sympathy and affection of others.

As the struggle for GMO labeling rages on, app developers are taking matters into their own hands. By creating apps that allow consumers to determine exactly what is in the products that they buy, these developers are giving you total freedom of choice. These apps all have multiple features for identifying different types of ingredients, which means installing a combination of apps will keep you better informed. These ten apps all identify GMO products, among other ingredients, so you can control exactly what you choose to have in your  diet.

• Non-GMO Project Shopping Guide – As it says on the can, this app provides consumers with a guide to shopping non-GMO. The Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification Program is a collaboration of a number of corporations whose aim is to help consumers make more informed choices in their purchases. The guide is completely free and is periodically updated with new contributions.

Excessive worry can interfere with sleep and inhibit your ability to perform daily tasks and activities. Find out what you can do to minimize your fears.

Fear is a negative emotion, unless you’re facing an actual threat and need to fight or flee. And the usefulness of fear is minimal in daily life, particularly in the form of anxiety. Stressful events can produce short-term anxiety in almost everyone, which disappears after the event. But for an estimated 6.8 million Americans with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), anxiety is a chronic condition they can’t shut off. All of us know people we accept as “born worriers,” but their reality is much more debilitating than that title describes. Being in a state of chronic anxiety can severely limit their daily activity.

You probably know already if you worry excessively. In fact, if you have chronic anxiety, even the smallest thing can trigger it. You find yourself with fearful thoughts about finances, family, your health, and what’s happening at work. Some days you’d rather hide under the covers.

The global food supply is heavily tainted. Even hothouse organics don’t ensure sufficient nutrition, due to the loss of nutrients in our soil and pollutants from our air, rain and water supplies. On top of this, we must consider the daily overload from toxic pesticides, geoengineering particulates, GMO toxins and other pollutants.

So how can we provide our bodies with the nutrition our cells require, while supporting our body’s natural detox processes at the same time?

A scientific development by Dr. Michael Kiriac (Ph.D, ND) from The Moldova Academy of Sciences may offer a solution in the form of four different naturally occurring micro-algae.
