August is the eight month of the year. The number eight signifies Infinity. It indicates reversing, rebooting and restarting. Return to the original. Whatever or whoever has moved or gone away will return. People and things will come back to you.
Its birth flower is the gladiolus or poppy, meaning beauty, strength of character, love, marriage, and family. The western zodiac signs for the month of August are Leo (until August 22) and Virgo (from August 23 onwards).
This is a powerful month. The planet Saturn (shani) is a judge planet and rewards the good and punishes the bad. Hence, keep you karma clean and clear. Do good, think good and say good.
