July - the Energy of Seven

We are finally approaching the end of July, a calendar month of # 7, which I'm sure, many of us feel very tired. Of course we say we still have plenty of work to get done, but it seems our minds and bodies are having difficulty attaching themselves.

Great advice: Rest. Take a good ten minutes a day, a time out so to speak and meditate, or do an open eye meditation; take deep breaths; put some refreshing water on your face (don't worry about the makeup!)

Number 7 stands for quiet, introspection and retrospection, it's not a time to push matters to happen. Didn't the Creator say "on the seventh day let there be rest"? If you were born in the month of July (7) and or born on the 7th, 16th, or 25th, then the month of July should be a good month to not try to think so much.

Reading is a wonderful tool under a 7 vibration. If you can, get away, even for a day, go by water or mountains. Take in the soothing elements of Mother Nature. (But, take care of your skin in the sun.)

With Mercury Retrograde the planet of communication now in full force, we will all feel somewhat frustrated with matters that may be delayed or seemingly going nowhere. Number 7 says...."don't push me," So, go with the flow.

Those who were born in March or December, the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month and those who were born in May, the 5th, 14th, 23rd of any month --well folks -- Mercury could do a frustration number dance on you too! All the numbers above are related to "communication" the same as with Mercury, so be careful what you say: it might be the right thing but at the wrong time!

With August, a # 8 calendar month and still a Mercury Retrograde, we must take into consideration how we are spending our finances. You may find there can be more out of pocket expenses than you were banking on. Don't lend your money out either, or you will need a skateboard to try to catch up and collect it or it just isn't coming back to you!

Those born in August (an 8 month), born on the 8th 17th and 26th something comes up in "thinking" or "acting" on about work/career changes. Hey, it might be a raise!!
