The start of August has felt kind of sad for some. But that is coming to a close because on days when Water is the pillar element of the day, emotions start to stir and things get a little better. Rat energy makes these animal signs feel more insightful and encourages them to start doing things that make themselves feel less lonely.

Your loneliness ends on Thursday when you decide to text someone you know is always there for you. You've tried so many ways to snap out of it, but it's been pretty much impossible. Your job and all the pressures you've felt this month have come to a head. Now, you just need a lifeline to make you laugh and give you a reason to smile.
That simple message leads to a really good venting session where you both share your struggles. But it's not just a misery-loves-company chat, Ox. You're encouraging each other. You know that when you reach out to certain people, they always make you feel better. Today, you decide to use the friendships you've been given and get out of that funk.

On August 6, the best way to end those feelings of loneliness is to rekindle your social life. A coffee date is a good way to break the pattern of social isolation you've dealt with since the start of the month. Seeing a familiar face always makes you feel better, Dragon.
Just knowing you'll soon be hanging out with someone whose company you truly enjoy boosts your spirit. You have something to do and are looking forward to building a friendship that seems promising.

You can tell your presence makes them feel so much better. For you, that matters a lot. It not only makes your feelings of isolation disappear, but it gives you a desire to do it even more often. You're spreading kindness and joy, and how can you feel lonely when your impact is making others happy?

You always are the strong one, but playing that role can be tiring at times. On August 6, you decide to open up about your emotional struggles. You tell a trusted friend that you're lonely and that it's starting to really get to you. They listen to you and share how much you care.
There's no judgment for your feelings or dismissing your experience. You feel validated and heard. Getting this experience off of your chest becomes the first big step you've taken in a long time in the right direction. Loneliness has no hold on you now. You've outed it, and now you're on a healing journey.
