How to find your number
To determine your number for 2004, add your birth month (exam: April = 4), to the day of your birth and add the number 6 (representing 2+0+0+4=6). If your total is a double-digit number, add it together until you have only one number between 1 and 9. To find the number for 2004, a person whose birthday is May 20 would add 5 + 20 + 6 =31. 3+1=4. For this column, the person’s personal number will be 4 throughout the year.

1  ~

 July: Organize and direct your energy in a focused manner to accomplish goals this month. You may feel more pushed to achieve. As you grapple with issues, make sure you stay balanced, recognizing the dance of opposites––time for action and retreat...time for work and play. Hold your arms out to your side, visualize each one being an extreme of too much or too little action. Mentally determine where you are in the moment and bring yourself back to the center of your chest. As you take care of issues to the best of your present abilities, you are energized. What you avoid does not go away, so do what you can–and smell the flowers along the way!

 

August:  Time to clear closets, cobwebs in your mind, and whatever else is holding you back. As you recognize the opportunity to move forward this year, also be aware that the more you hold on to, the less room you have for the new. Objectively determine what stays and what goes, including outworn ideas or ways of looking at things that no longer serve you. Then walk to the top of the metaphorical mountain–view the bigger picture–and reflect it to others. 

 

2 ~

July:  As you feel appreciation for the blessings you do have, more will come. When you dwell on lack and limitation, you prime the pump for loss. Even if something or someone goes out of your life, recognize the gift they have been. Focus on the higher purpose and larger meaning of all events. As you reflect a universal view, you inspire and motivate others. Events this month give you an opportunity to practice compassion, forgiveness, expansion, and to release all elements that clutter and restrict your good. You can leave a lasting impression and contribute to your own soul growth.

 

August: Stand up for your ideals. This month calls upon you to identify your needs and to develop stronger self-reliance, courage, and stamina. It may be time to forge a new direction in some area of your life. Determine where you need to allow others greater dignity of input. Impulsive action leads to inconclusive results, so refine inner listening skills to discern the voice of reasoned self-discipline from the willful reactionary. In a year that focuses on partnerships, this month focuses on the quality of alliance within you.

 

3 ~

July:   Time to plant new seeds, make new friends, or consider a new direction. Your individuality and identity are important. Find ways to develop greater belief in your abilities. Events may put you in a position of having to depend on yourself, and this can be strengthening and character building. You may also be offered positions of leadership. When making choices, differentiate between right use of will versus willfulness. Higher guidance leads to rewarding opportunities. Impulsiveness does not. Open the door to new adventures and enjoy yourself!

 

August: Be discerning of the quality within your partnerships. This starts with the quality and caliber of your thoughts. Do they support and uplift you, or drain and deplete you? How about the food you eat…is it nourishing or junk? Next, look at your relationships. Where are you the dumping ground, and where are you a respected equal? Your opportunity is to weed out the elements within and without that are self-defeating. As you forge a stronger alliance in faith through prayer and meditation, you gain insight in how to undertake supportive actions that give dignity and respect to all.

 

4 ~

July:  This month provides opportunities for awakenings. There may be a sudden change in circumstances or an encounter that brings a shift to your concept of reality. If you find yourself hit by flashes of brilliance––communicate them ASAP, for they pass quickly. And, when you can’t remember your name, recognize it as the same passing flash. Choose nurturing and healing thoughts, foods, and friendships, and eliminate self-defeating internal and external programs. Faith and prayer are strong allies. As you recognize your internal light, any tendency to absorb negativity is reversed––you become a light on the path for yourself and others.

 

August: Be more playful this month.  Express yourself with friends who allow you to be silly, outrageous, and whoever you want to be in the moment. Focus is on the child––either actual children, or your inner child. If there are emotional issues, confront them with a loving heart. Don’t lose touch with the sense of magic and wonder regardless of external appearances.

 

5 ~

July: Expansion, playfulness, spending money––all things that focus on youthful exuberance and freedom––are important now. Don’t let emotional issues sidetrack you from joy. Issues with children or the child part of yourself cause conflict between the self who wants to express freely and the self who is always responsible. Don’t lose the momentary lighthearted opportunity to enjoy more of your life. In effect, do not succumb to emotional blackmail or manipulation. And for one month you can abandon all the critics, including the one who lives inside!

 

August: There are practical considerations to take care of this month. Take each issue as it comes up and handle it to the best of your ability. Don’t take shortcuts. As you lay a solid foundation, you have strength upon which to build. When you are willing to alter patterns that don’t work anymore, you open the door to growth. Willingness to go beyond limitations leads to transformations. This is a month of rebirth.

 

6 ~

July: You may be building or rebuilding something that requires attention to detail and following a plan. Don’t take shortcuts – just plod along so that you can be proud of your accomplishments as you see the results of your efforts. Opportunities to move out of your comfort zone require willingness to risk to the unknown. Old patterns or habits come up for review, and as you give up the need to be in control, you can transform stuck areas of your life. This can be a time of renewal and rebirth.

 

August: In a year filled with responsibility August is a time to expand, travel and expect the unexpected. Be flexible. Open your arms to adventure and opportunity, but be aware of how much time you have to do all you commit to. Follow a plan of action and focus your attention on things you have promised to do. Scattering your energy leads to disrupted nerves and moodiness. Be wary about shady sales ventures that are too good to be true. That being said – go out and make it a great month!

 

7 ~

July: Travel, change, communication, socializing––all are part of the expansive nature of July. Read the fine print in any contracts. If dealing with controlling personalities, be clear about your motivation so you aren’t caught in a chess game where you become the pawn to someone else’s power play. Don’t over extend yourself. Meeting new people and entertaining new ideas can be enlivening.

 

August: Focus on family, traditions, values, and service causes reflection on the requirements of these areas of responsibility. What is working for you, and what is not? Where do you feel overly burdened by obligation, and where do you need to delegate some of your responsibilities? As you sort through requirements and choose to do what you do with a loving heart, others respond in kind. You can receive appreciation, awards, gifts and favors. Your actions extended with compassion and a loving heart fill others with a desire to give back, whereas duty done resentfully leads to reception in kind. So...do it all in love.

 

8 ~

July:  Events may cause you to focus more on your reputation and sense of wellbeing. Take time to determine what is valuable and what does not contribute to your sense of appropriateness. Health issues may require attention, and others are in need of assistance. If you feel resentful about an obligation, see if you can delegate it to another. What you do with a joyous heart, will draw to you appreciation and acknowledgement. Your ability to express love and compassion are keys to success this month. Extend them to yourself as well.

 

August: Opportunities present themselves to reflect on your needs and deeper purpose. Taking time out from over-activity allows for recharging your batteries. Quiet times, time alone, time for special interests––all are important to feelings of wellbeing and restoration. Issues or individuals from the past may resurface, offering opportunity to heal an old wound. Someone new can be a soulful connection.

 

9 ~

July:  Opportunity for deepening your spiritual life is present now. Time in nature or delving into a specialized area of interest can provide food for the soul. You may be given an opportunity to unravel an area of misconception about yourself, not adequate to who you have become. Allow life to show you truth and to use what you see as a tool to gain greater self-knowledge.  Events can exalt or crucify you only if you are in a reactionary mode. When you see everything as a learning opportunity, you can make the most of this month and gain deep awareness that is soul edifying.

 

August: Focus on organizing and directing your energy for a sense of balance. Assess your nature: Does one area take precedence? Do you reflect a balance between work/play, activity/rest? What steps can help your life flow? Stress is a result of too much pressure. Music, massage, hydrotherapy all help to alleviate tension. Meditation brings focus back to center.  All events point to the need for balance, and this is the reason for doing a self-assessment… to bring you to that state.
