The Power of Seven
Written by Patricia Zimmerman
July Energy – A Time for Reflection and Change
The month of July has been particularly challenging for many, and numerology offers insight into why. The energy of July mirrors the energy of the year—both reduce to the number 7 (2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 7). This makes the energy twice as powerful. Seven is a spiritual number, asking: “What do you really want out of life?”
In addition, 2014 reduces to a 5 (1 + 4 = 5), a number of freedom and exploration. This combination encourages us to examine our lives, our relationships, and our choices. Are we receiving and giving equally? Are the people around us supportive, loving, and aligned with our path? Seven asks us to evaluate what truly serves us and what no longer does.
Life is an ebb and flow. People come and go, situations change, and it is natural to grieve, but life moves forward. Change is often uncomfortable because we become attached to what is familiar, even if it no longer serves us. Yet, as Lao-tzu reminds us, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step,” and Francois La Rochefoucauld said, “The only constant in life is change.”
The energy of 7 helps us navigate necessary transitions. Embrace the changes rather than resist them, and you will find life smoother and more fulfilling on the other side. Relationships may evolve; people may part ways—not because love has died, but because growth has taken you in different directions. True love allows space and freedom.
Remember: we grow not through comfort, but through adversity. As Carl Jung said, “What you resist, persists.” Let go of what no longer serves you to make room for new experiences, opportunities, and connections.
Looking ahead:
August – A month of balance
September – Endings and transitions
October – New beginnings and relationships
Challenges may feel overwhelming now, but this period is temporary. Trust the process, allow growth, and embrace the possibilities ahead. Life can and will get better.
Blessings to you on your journey!
