August brings heavy rains, but religion and patriotism endure it all to celebrate festivals. Some festivals are designed to break the monotony of grey clouds with colour.
Being a Leo, I’ve grown to believe that August brings positive change, though every August of my life does not testify to this. This year’s Mercury retrograde dampened spirits as heavy rains restricted movement.
Life moves faster than calendars but slower than fate. It struggles to reach an invisible end somewhere, waiting around the bend, unknown to the conscious mind.

Very nicely done, Reena. I enjoyed reading your perspective on changes that occur. Religion and Politics can be very distracting!
