SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS IN TRAUMA HEALING
Last month’s guest, Tony Carrol from Ireland, who works with the International Sovereignty assemblies, a healer and founder of Olive Branch Healing Centers, dives deeper into the topic of “Freedom and Trauma: Part 2” on this podcast. He discusses more on the principles of Natural or Common law—the difference between land, soil, sea, and air jurisdictions, ‘legalese’ terms, and birth certificates that keep many bound to a slave system.
Tony shares what it means to feel sovereign and free within, some childhood patterns he has worked with, how he realized he had co-created the family trauma, and how he lives differently in discussing his process and the virtues he has become aware of. You’ll find this show uplifting in helping to shift the paradigm both inside and out around evaluating freedom, trauma and sovereignty.
Creator’s teachings are available to help integrate the topic after.
Enjoy the listen!

THE MOVING BEYOND TRAUMA PROJECT NEWS
This month’s Blog for the Soul is another redo-- Leadership in Truth Defying Times. I thought it a good topic in really deciding what leadership means to us, and whether the act of following plays a role as well, in what that might look like. As world participants, it’s important we have a new vision of what true leadership will look like in being clear within ourselves and in bringing out our own leadership. https://www.themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/leadership-in-truth-defying-times
ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
I was communicating with our Chinese translator, Cassie Wong, about our Chinese version being ready with Book 1 in November. We’re very excited! She mentioned to me that she saw our call to action in wanting translators through the newsletter. She suggested that we put it out again as our team would love to see it in other languages, particularly Spanish, French, and Italian. We are certainly open to other ones as well.
Cassie has used a team of professionals and ThetaHealers to create the Chinese translation, so perhaps this might be a service project you’re interested in pursuing with a team. If you use AI, have skills in translation and would like your native language to receive these amazing books so they can easily read the material, please contact us at themovingbeyondtraumaproject@gmail.com

ASTROLOGY
The first half of August pushes bold, visible action (Leo eclipse), but astrologically quieter; the back half asks for emotional release and practical recalibration (Virgo shift, Pisces eclipse).
Physically — tend to routines. Emotionally — expect some clearing-out. Financially — favor grounded, detail-checked decisions over impulsive ones, especially near the eclipses themselves.
August 3 — Chiron stations retrograde in Taurus. Chiron is the "wounded healer" point; when it turns retrograde, themes around self-worth, security, and old wounds tend to resurface for review rather than fresh injury — more introspective than acute.
August 6 — Mercury clears its post-retrograde shadow (from the Cancer retrograde that ran late June into July). Communication, contracts, and tech start feeling more reliable again after weeks of double-checking everything.
August 12 — Total Solar Eclipse in Leo (New Moon)
This opens eclipse season with bold, fated energy in Leo — heart, creativity, self-expression, leadership. Emotionally, it can spark courage to claim visibility or start something that feels like "yours." Financially, it favors decisions tied to personal brand, creative income, or leadership roles — though eclipses tend to bring sudden, destined shifts rather than steady planning, so flexibility serves better than rigid five-year plans right now.
August 22/23 — Sun shifts from Leo to Virgo
The energy moves from big, expressive, "look at me" Leo into grounded, detail-oriented Virgo. Physically, this often shows up as renewed attention to health routines, daily habits, and body maintenance — a good stretch for tightening up diet, sleep, or exercise systems. Emotionally, it's a settling-down period after Leo's intensity — more discerning, practical, service-minded. Financially, it favors budgeting, organizing, and refining rather than big leaps.
August 27, Mercury cazimi in Virgo — a brief window of unusually clear thinking and communication, good for insight around practical or health matters.
August 27/28 —Full Moon in Pisces with Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (Full "Sturgeon" Moon) opposing Sun in Virgo.
This is the emotional ‘release’ valve of the season…the ‘deep exhale’ after the Leo eclipse being the ‘deep inhale’. This eclipse can surface things asking to be let go of — old grief, outdated relationship patterns, or illusions you've been holding onto. It's a good window for emotional processing, rest, and creative or spiritual practice, less on manifesting since judgment can feel foggier under Pisces.
- Physically — Pisces rules the feet and the lymphatic/immune system in body-based astrology; some people report feeling more run-down, dreamy, or needing extra sleep around lunar eclipses in this sign.
- Financially — not a great window for locking in major financial decisions (illusions run higher under Pisces); better for reviewing what no longer serves you financially — subscriptions, debts spending patterns tied to escapism — than for signing anything new.
Both eclipses are flagged as financial volatility windows, but not collapse predictions.
August 31, Jupiter trine Saturn — a supportive aspect between expansion and structure, easing tension between growth and discipline; decent backdrop for steady financial or career moves that started earlier in the eclipse window.
Note: We’re living in the seam between two nodal chapters this month. With the change of nodes between July 26 and August 18, 2026, depending, the August 12 solar eclipse in Leo lines up with the incoming South Node in Leo — meaning it's already carrying the new axis's flavor: release around egoism, personal glory, individual specialness, in favor of the emerging Aquarius theme of collective belonging. This month is the hinge, not the full arrival.
TRAUMA HEALING INSIGHTS
BOOK 2:
“One of the most important reasons fears appear [particularly in trauma healing], is that we forget we are always connected to All-that-IS and feel disconnected from that which protects and is part of us. Instead, we attach to the people, places, and things outside ourselves which can lead to the feelings of impermanence, distance and separation.” [Chapter 8]
TIPS FROM VIANNA STIBAL:
Founder of Thetahealing® Technique
“Any drug or herb changes a person’s vibration, and the way it is interacting with the body can mask their disease or disorder. Once you have experienced what drugs and herbs feel like in the body, it will be easy to recognize them for what they are when you are in a reading. But to save valuable time, I ask the person what they are taking before I go into the body.” [Advanced Thetahealing p. 102]

DNA Evidence Proves That the First People in China Were Black
A group of researchers set out to prove that Chinese people evolved from homo erectus independently from all other humans, but their DNA testing also found that early Chinese civilizations were composed of Africans. Back in 2005, Chinese DNA specialist Jin Li collected and analyzed more than 12,000 DNA samples from 165 different ethnic groups and found stunning similarities in people of Southeast Asia with Africans.
