Fireworks and Friends

From 1776 to present day, July 4^th has been celebrated as the birth of American Independence.  To this day, Freedom, Sovereignty, and Revolution continue to be held high and celebrated. It is a time to be outside involved in fun activities, parades, and concerts with family and friends.  Ending the evening with displays of fireworks has become a memorable iconic scene and one that is looked forward to each year.  This is the first celebration of 2021 where most states are allowed to gather for parties both inside and outside. Now that is something to celebrate!

The Numerology of the month of July is the Universal Number 3.  The “3” is derived by adding the month (July is the 7^th month of the year) plus the year, 2021 is a Universal 5 Year (2+ 0+2+1= 5).  Add 7+5 = 12.  Then, to get to a single digit, add 1+2=3.

The strongest essence of the “3” is wisdom, harmony, and everything communication.

During the time we have spent in isolation, communicating through machines and glass walls, it is possible that some have lost the ability to effectively communicate face to face.  Of course, what hits the TV news reel is the worst of the worst for sensationalism, but it does show a steep dip when it comes to grace, tact, diplomacy, and kindness.

Miscommunication can lead to an explosion of fireworks…  and not the 4^th of July kind!

This is a perfect month to get back what has been sliding in the wrong direction and listen for the communication to become unifying, civil, and progressive!  Unity is also a quality of “3”.

When we communicate with others, we are full of expectations, doubts, fears and hopes.  Much of what we know about ourselves we have learned through interaction with others.  The concept of the looking glass self, as described in Charles Cooley’s Human Nature and Social Order, explains that you see yourself reflected in other people’s reactions to you and then form your self-concept based on how you believe other people see you.  These thoughts evoke emotional responses that feed into your self-concept.  This month’s “3” energy steeped in wisdom and harmony in all communication helps us to take a deeper look at how we communicate with ourselves as well as others. Are people getting what I am saying?  Am I getting what they are saying?

The “3” energy thrives in an upbeat and engaging atmosphere, so make sure to keep all self-communication in that spirit!

Self-Understanding is fundamental to communication.  There are a few “Self” bonus courses being offered by the energies of July to make communicating with yourself successful. The first is, grasping that your attitude can change easily and frequently, so be ready. Next is, understanding your beliefs are based on previous experiences and that longstanding convictions may not be how you feel today. And finally, awareness that Self-image and Self-esteem are totally wrapped up in how we communicate with ourselves.  Up-dates are ready to be downloaded!

The theme all month is (1) Releasing the struggle to make life easier; (2) Showing up and putting in the effort is better than forcing the action; and (3) Everything in moderation.  The main caution of the month is, do not overspend, or overdo the partying!

Enjoy the fireworks on the 4^th and prepare to be busy all month!  It will be exciting to get out with friends and family, and also to lean into any of your projects, especially the creative ones.

Love to All,

The numerology of the year 1776 is 1+7+7+6= 21.  2+1 = 3!  The Founding Fathers were very aware of symbols, numbers, and the significance of timing.  During the 1776 Universal 3 year, can you imagine the amount of communication it took for us to have The Declaration of Independence?  And of course, there was some drama around the official date to be celebrated in 1776.  John Adams believed that July 2^nd was the correct date to celebrate the birth of American Independence because that was the date the Continental Congress voted for Independence, not July 4^th, the day Congress approved the final text. He would reportedly turn down invitations to appear on July 4^th events.  Ironically, both Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, which was the 50^th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence!

In communication and association with others, knowing thy self is key to being better able to know and understand others.
