Be still and listen to your intuition is a big part of July’s 7 vibration.
The number 7 is one of the most esoteric and mystical of all the numbers.
It is the explorer walking between two worlds: the physical and the spiritual, and balancing two minds: the rational and intuitive.
The number 7 is on a quest to explore and learn to intuitively understand the unknown and unknowable. This is a quest the logical mind is not equipped to engage in, which is why it may do all in its power to distract you and dismiss this noble quest.
At its core, the number 7 is a call to mastery of some kind. And one of the best paths to self-mastery is self-awareness. And self-awareness requires going within.
This quote from Albert Einstein embodies the essence of the 7-vibration:
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
— Albert Einstein
Where June’s shadow 6 was disruptive to love, peace, families, and communities, and shone a spotlight on the places where you are out of alignment with self-love, self-appreciation, and cling to the shadows, July’s 7-energy shifts the focus from emotional feeling to the landscape of your mind.
For those who prefer a brief summary, I’m moving the Bottom Line to the front.
You can read on if you’d like to go a little deeper.
Bottom Line
Go within. Be still. Be present.
Stop rushing and pushing; it will not get you there faster.
Listen to the whispers of your inner knowing, your intuition, your gut…
Learn to connect to and begin to trust your intuition.
Be open to the truth.
Learn Discernment. Practice this often!
Now back to July’s 7-vibration…
The 7-vibration is a powerful number of mastery, of the self and subjects that interest you, as well as balancing logic and intuition.
"Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next."
~ Jonas Salk
The 7 brings in good luck and money opportunities from work you have done, as well as from surprising places.
The primary characteristics of the 7-vibration are:
Wisdom, Trust, Intuition, Logic, Learning, Introspection, Openness, Mystical, Spiritual Exploration, Depth, Exploring the Unknown
The biggest pull this month will be the desire to withdraw.
The combination of July’s 7-vibration paired with the 9-vibration of 2025 amplifies this.
Plus the dense and chaotic energy many are experiencing on planet Earth right now may prod you to withdraw and escape.
If this “withdrawal” is done from the place of introspection, reflecting, growing, and opening up more, this will help you shift some of the energy sludge you may be experiencing. This is part of the path of self-mastery.
If the need to withdraw is arising from the Shadow urging you to escape, this is activating an aspect of your own shadow and feeding into your fears about your ability to cope with life and reality as you perceive it.
Getting caught up in illusions and delusional thinking is another aspect of the 7's Shadow.
On the flip side, still 100% in the Shadow, you could go totally Machiavellian with your reaction to the world and your life… sinking to devious manipulations and controlling behaviors. Cold, calculating, arrogant.
When the 7-vibration is dancing with the 9-vibration of 2025, it heightens the pull towards introspection and doing the inner work, learning, exploring, expanding, and letting go.
The 9 and 7 are both truth-seeking numbers, and they may poke hard at you to finally be willing to see the truth.
Working with the 9-vibration, July will shine a spotlight on wherever you are stuck, struggling, or suppressing yourself, so you can face it, explore it, and shift it.
They also highlight the spiritual elements in your life, however you define this, and your personal quest for truth and wisdom.
The shadow of the 7 and 9 may bring out the hermit and/or hyper-critical side of you.
It feels as if this finding flaw and being in judgment of everything around you results in the “fuck it, I’m done with this” attitude and shutting the world out.
However, the world you perceive, and resist and react to is largely a reflection of your inner, hidden world and your point of view or perspective. And that is created by what you believe and expect, and your conclusions about things as well, which may not have anything to do with the truth.
It’s a story you created and tell about your life and why things are the way they are. Hey, it’s OK. Pretty much everyone does this. The key here is to become aware of your stories and reach for the truth instead.
If you choose to contract and build a bunker around you, you will delay healing the shadow wounds you carry around like little land mines, ready to explode without warning.
If you choose to work with the energy and explore your inner world and question what is really going on, what is asking to be seen and acknowledged, you can begin dissolving their hold on you.
Your intuition is a great guide. Learn to follow it.
Learning discernment is a fabulous tool to help you navigate the waters of polarity creating whirlpools that threaten to suck you into their vortex of madness.
The 7-vibration is also a science and technology number, and July is ushering in another Mercury Retrograde Period.
The entire month will be under the influence of the pre-retrograde shadow (which kicked off on June 30th) or the actual Mercury Retrograde, which begins on July 17 and runs through August 10.
This may reflect back as tech issues, AI disruptors are factoring in here too.
If you’d like more information of this Mercury Retrograde period, you can read my blog about it here.
Again, discernment is mission-critical here.
Run everything through your intuition and gut.
If it feels wonky, trust it is wonky.
Your logical mind can be influenced by the subterfuge, your intuition cannot be. It comes from your higher self (Soul or Being), which is outside of this reality.
And for fuck’s sake, question everything! And ask questions, too!
Here is a quick overview of the Light and Shadow Aspects of the Number 7
The Light Side of the 7:
- Trust, Wisdom, Discernment, Mastery, Independent Action, Plumping the Depths
- Intuition, Psychic, Thoughtful, Introspective, Foresight, Quiet, Contemplation, Discreet, Sympathetic, Self-Reflective, Reserved
- Spirituality, Spiritual Growth, Awakening, Uniting “Head” And “Heart”
- Mystical, Occult, Exploring & Understanding the Unknown
- Philosophy, Science, Technology, Philosophical,
- Learning, Investigation, Logical, Intellect, Intelligence, Analytical, Disciplined
- Openness, Good Luck, Money, Preparing, Inventive, Artistic
The Shadow Side of the 7
- Lonely, Depressed, Moody, Shy, Withdrawn,
- Critical, Fault-Finding, Cold, Unrelenting, Devious, Calculating, Manipulation, Arrogance,
- Slow, Elusive, Standoffish
- Escapist, Delusional, Unwilling or Unable to Deal with Perceived Reality,
- Stuck, Struggle, Overthinking, Suppression (self)
The way to work with these lists of characteristics is to pick two or three that resonate with you as you read them. You only want the ones that apply to you, and not everything will apply to you.
Pick individual words rather than the entire bullet point (although the bullets group similar or interconnected characteristics, focusing on one word is easier when you are doing this work).
You’ll get a subtle “ping” when this element is important for you to be aware of.
If two or three seem like more than you can handle, I feel ya. Just pick one from the Light list and one from the Shadow list that calls to you or you feel more strongly.
There is something there for you to explore.
If you aren’t sure how to explore it, try journaling what comes up for you about those words.
Or notice when you are coming from a place of the light side of the 7-vibration and acknowledge it. How can you experience more of this?
And be aware when the shadow aspect of the 7-vibration is activated.
What triggered it?
What did it bring up?
What old patterns, emotions, and judgments are tied to this?
Acknowledge this and ask yourself what you need to heal it and let it go. Journal about it or talk to someone you trust. Use your discernment here!
Bottom Line Reprise...
Go within. Be still. Be Present.
Stop rushing and pushing; it will not get you there faster.
Listen to the whispers of your inner knowing, your intuition, your gut…
Learn to connect to and begin to trust your intuition.
Be open to the truth.
Learn Discernment. Practice this often!
