Living By The Numbers August 2012
As we journey into August 2012, the 8th month of this year, the planet Mercury has been in retrograde from 7/15 to 8/8. This Mercury Retrograde will have a huge effect on people born on the dates of 1, 4, 5, 10, 13, 14, 19, 22, 23, 28, or 31 of any month. The zodiac signs Gemini, Leo, Virgo or those with the initials A, D, E, J, M, N, S, V or W will also be influenced. People born in the months of Jan, April ,May, or Oct and have 1,4,5 as a Life Path ,Name, Personal Year and Month number will feel this Mercury Retrograde strongly also.
Now the spiritual plane this month is vibrating to a 4. How did I get that? The year is 2+0+1+2=5, so take that 5 and add that 8, (5+8= 13 and 1+3=4). The energy of the month of August is a 4. Four represents the elements: fire, earth, air and water. Now looking at it metaphysically these elements also represent spirit (fire), breath (air), body (earth) and blood (water) Be mindful of your health this month-drink plenty of water and exercise to help your heart and cardiovascular system.
The 4 also means the energy is about working a lot and getting work that can be a job, building a solid foundation to better your future. Be open to learning new things. Getting educated will strengthen the weak areas of your “knowing”. Be open to asking questions in order to find out the answer to the “why”. This will be a good time to notice the details on any project and situation that is facing you at the moment. Get things in order, organize for possible future expansion. This is also a good month to take care of business. Check over all your money accounts, making sure the balance is correct. Money and finances are very much a part of this cycle. People need to be economical and practical so prepare a budget. Many of you may experience an unusual feeling this month and, if so, embrace it only if it’s good energy. Remember this is a time to balance your being because this month will offer moments of things coming full circle for many. Be open to some soul searching. I always direct people to go within and meditate and analyze what your body and mind wants you to know. I want you to reflect on forgiveness. You need to forgive yourself and others as well; this is a good time to do it. Take your “power” back by spending some time alone. Also take advantage of opportunities that might bring success. This is a time to be generous and have some compassion for all people. Things that are around your home that you don’t really need should be given to those that are less fortunate. That’s very good karma. Speaking of karma, that energy is forever present and more so this month so my question to you is “how is life for you”? Be mindful of your deliberate creation and what you are putting out as it will come back to you. Again, as I stated in my July article, think of fairness, kindness, peace, love, success, and joy.
I also call this “Leading the Train of Life”. Time to shine or you may backslide due to the bad karma that’s been done. I want to add the word “Notice”-Notice this energy! Those who need be most aware are people that were born on 4,7,8,9,13,16,17,18,22,25,26,27,or 31 of any month or have a life path, name, personal year, month or date number that adds up to the numbers 4,7,8, or 9. Those born under the sign of Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces need to be conscience of the effect of the energy in August. People born in the months of April, July, August, and September need to take note as well as people, places, things and words with the initials of D,G,H,I,M,P,Q,R,V,Y, and Z. If you were born on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday these also are days of great favor, pay attention to them. For spiritual assistance you should call on the Angel Urial “God is Light”. Read Psalms 56, Proverbs 7 and in the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu read 16.
Basayda’s thoughts on James Eagan Holmes: first my prayers and healing energy go out to everyone in Colorado that are going through this experience. As you have read earlier about the Mercury Retrograde you will come to learn that James Eagan Holmes’ birthdate of 12/13/1987 indicated he might act in this manner. I was in no way surprised because this man was deranged- in other words his thinking was off. He lost it and simply did not have the correct energy during this retrograde. His birthday breakdown of 1+2+1+3+1+9+8+7=32, date of birth of 1+3=4, life path number of 5, initials of J & E, and personal month number of 1 spelled no energy. This should show us all we need to be prepared during this retrograde cycle. Remember that as it happens in the Heavens, “as above, so below”. It is like preparing for spring, summer, fall and winter and we should start doing these preparations during this cycle. So there you have it.
I hope you find this to be a helpful and useful guide as you continue your life journey throughout this month. I’ll see you next month.
