7 Personal Year | July is a 5 Personal Month
July is a 5 Personal Month:
This is the month to be nimble and light on your feet. Change is in the air. This is a pivot-point month. Are you ready?
This is a month where you’re knee-deep in an exploration of how free (or how trapped) you feel in your life. It’s a spiritually active and activating year—meaning, you’ll have many opportunities to move into amazing levels of personal growth and evolution, however you define it.
If you’ve been following these forecasts, this isn’t news to you!
This is a year where your faith and trust will be tested and you’ll feel as though you want to shield yourself from the static of the outside world.
Interestingly, in your 7 Personal Year, you only get one month out of twelve that brings you this sensual, freedom-seeking energy of the number 5, so make it count!
Even though you’ll continue with the underlying theme of contemplation, study, and inner reflection, July might offer a welcome respite from the intensity and somewhat ponderous nature of your year.
What I haven’t highlighted so far in your 7 Personal Year is this. If you’re engaged with the opposing energies to the number 7 or are resisting the slow-down, this can be a year that feels incredibly victimizing.
If you’ve resisted some of the deeper truths being offered to you right now, this can be a time that might feel despairing.
On the other end of the spectrum, it can feel as though some shackles are being taken off of you—as though the universe has been steadily sitting next to you with a small blow torch, tirelessly working at cutting the thick metal chains that hold you hostage.
Oddly, you can experience both of these feelings somewhat simultaneously, making it even more confounding.
Dolores Cannon offers this intriguing observation:
“There is a moment you realize you are not to here to change, heal, fix, or teach anyone but your own conscious self.”
Give yourself a “Hall Pass” to spend part of July by yourself with the studious or contemplative activities you’ve been involved in for many months. Embrace it. Absorb it. Become it.
At this time, you could very well be exploring significant new directions that interest you or you may be planning to work on some of your undeveloped (yet pressing) talents.
July offers a moment to re-evaluate what you ultimately want and where you want to take it. You’ll feel a need for more freedom and will ache for some variety from your given routine.
It might be a time where the status quo just doesn’t cut it anymore. The number 5 is a catalyst, so prepare for some plot twists this month. This could be a time where everything changes direction when a new opportunity arises that’s even better than you could have asked for.
Some of these new opportunities might pull you out of solitude for a portion of the month, probably between July 7th and 25th.
There’s lots of activity right now, which may feel slightly uncomfortable or just like too much—or too jarring—because of your slower, more internal reality this year.
Relationship issues can surface this month, where freedom, sexuality, and adventure are themes that are pressing to the front of the line.
Yet you’re also feeling a bit restless and—let’s face it—somewhat discontent at times. So don’t let these feelings derail you. As a matter of fact, use these feelings of unease to engage in some deeper self-analysis.
You’re at the apex of some deep emotional and spiritual breakthroughs.
It’s the time to take steps to improve your mind—with new learning or by changing old and worn out thought patterns. Reach out for some healthy mental food—taking a hiatus from hours at the phone or computer will feel mandatory.
Even though this is a year where you’re feeling lower energy and lower key in general, remember not to abandon your responsibilities in the “real” world.
Especially this month, take care of any legal or practical matters with punctuality and thoroughness. Keep your books up to date and keep things rolling smoothly in your daily life.
July offers some moments that are designed to give you space on all levels. Give yourself room to roam, whether it’s with some actual travel or just allowing yourself to explore something new in your environment.
Make an effort to center yourself and yet also understand that you’ll get the most out of the energy of the month when you do something that scares you, just a little. Grab the freedom ring this month, because freedom is your theme for July.
Note: There are two schools of thought regarding the Personal Year.
The first is that it runs from January 1 – Dec. 31 of each calendar year.
The Personal Year is derived from adding together your MONTH of birth + the DAY of birth + the CURRENT YEAR.
Therefore, the logical flow is that it takes place for the calendar year for which it is being calculated.
**Remember: If you subscribe to this mode of thought, your Personal Month RESETS and CHANGES on January 1.
The second mode of thought is that the Personal Year runs from birthday to birthday, somewhat like a Solar Return in Astrology.
If you know my work at all, you’ll know that I’m someone who simply attempts to point out the different schools of thought and then the ball is in your court. It’s up to each of us to determine method makes the most sense to us and feels right or correct.
It’s like anything else in life. People can get really adamant about the correct diet (keto? paleo? vegan? gluten-free? vegetarian? and on and on).
You can go to different doctors with the same condition and get different courses of treatment. You can study Pythagorean numerology, or subscribe more to Chaldean numerology, or other modalities.
I don’t mean to belabor it, but it might surprise you how many people contact me and leave comments insisting that their particular methodology is the only right way to do it.
If you subscribe to the birthday-to-birthday way of thinking, you calculate this way: Using your birth date, add the MONTH + DAY + YEAR OF YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY
Just know that you’ll change into a new Personal Year on your BIRTHDAY, meaning that you’ll also change which Personal Year you read for your Forecast! This mode of thinking is more confusing until you wrap your brain around it. 💥
So I just want to be clear. It’s up to YOU to determine what school of thought feels right to you. And it’s ends up being just that: HOW IT FEELS. Sit with it. Ponder it. Feel into it.
If you feel the Personal Year runs from birthday-to-birthday, you will still reference the forecast for your Personal Year, yet the flow of it is a bit more wonky. Meaning: On your birthday, it switches gears and might feel as if it’s more of a dramatic or abrupt shift.
Either way, the forecast still applies to you. Just use your own mind, body, and spirit to make the most out of the information.
