When the numbers get it wrong… (Or Do They?)
Dog Beds, drenched cars, dodgy stomachs, the Passport Office opens… and why August might just be your fresh start.
🌻 A Little Hello from Me.
Have you ever looked at your diary on a Monday and thought, ‘I’ve got this week nailed’…, only to find by Wednesday you’re wearing a dog bed as a hat?
No?
Just me then, LOL. Welcome to my week! 😊 😊
Monday began carrying what looked like powerhouse energy. Honestly, I was excited :)
Universal Month 8, Year 1, and Day 1. Now if that’s not the sort of combination that whispers, ‘Right then…, let’s build an empire,’ I don’t know what is.
It didn’t happen, I mostly built more confusion. 😊
Tuesday, It was busy in the Passport Lounge, and do you know what still surprised me?
It was that most of us still thought we should feel like summer…, even though we had already admitted that we actually felt like winter.
If there was one thing to be taken from all of this, it was that the calendar and the soul don’t always agree, and it's OK to experience different seasons at any time.
Tuesday still managed to be quite eventful, and apparently, when the water company digs a trench across the end of your road, the Universe quietly says,
‘Right then…
… today we’re making curtains’ 😊
Wednesday, I’d arrived at the 381 energies of Wednesday, a sign I took for me to get noticed – but in what way?
That was the question LOL, and not how I expected.
The only person noticing me was me, and not in a positive way. I was heading back to the doldrums as my morning body scan flagged up the dull ache in my right heal, my planter fasciitis was returning, and sure enough would have me trying to weight bare on one leg by the weekend.
A twanged fascia in my right arm meant even my Tai Chi caused shock waves.
I won’t bore you with the rest but let’s just say ‘I was feeling betrayed by the energies. Never-the-less I met with friends as arranged.
After a lovely catch-up I left the restaurant and got caught in a a crazy storm, drenched, and with only a dog bed on my head for protection (perhaps not one for the Beckham range, and not entirely waterproof either!).
I got to my car – soaked
My car – soaked - I’d left the passenger window open!
My dignity – also soaked 😊
Thursday, Fully within my own head today, the 4 energy supported my mood and behaviours.
A writing day.
I had a lot to ponder, not least the ‘Barnum Effect’, apparently we’re more susceptible in ‘Summer, and warmer weather’ ( a vague quote in itself LOL).
Emotional support arrived as chocolate cake from a friend!
My Life Path 2 couldn’t possibly offend the baker – but my waistband has filed an official complaint!
A million calories later (sounds like it should be a song LOL), as I ate my second piece..., as if that would make up for his ‘No thanks’ refusal!
Friday, A dodgy stomach and agonising foot had me wondering why we bother with ‘How are you?’
Honestly, can we talk about the biggest lie in British conversation?
‘How are you?’
Nobody wants the truth.
Imagine…
‘Actually Gladys, funny you should ask, because…’
‘…my foot’s fallen off, my stomach’s staging a protest, I’ve just spent hours arguing with an overlocker…’
Saturday, ‘Carl Jung’ no less, was brought to my attention.
I had studied and worked in psychiatry for many years, so of course I was already familiar with Carl Jung, but as my friend excitedly told me about her new ritual, I found myself thinking ‘why not?...,
and when I semi-woke at 01:01 for the loo, I found myself still reciting two of the seven statements: ‘I am allowed to rest without earning it,’ and ‘I am exactly where I need to be’.
I don’t know if the affirmations worked…
But I did sleep…
Eventually LOL
Sunday – Holistic Therapy Day, apparently!
Perfect.
Foot in stocking.
Waddling.
It has been some week!
📚 Midweek Musings – It was a week that began with a ‘1’energy and gently rolled through a number journey ending with 7.
Visually, it looked to me like a great week: 1, 2, 3, 4…., but the reality told a different story.
All that head, heart, head, heart… and that was before I stumbled across ‘The Barnum Effect’…, oh boy, was that a challenge.
Somewhere during this week, I argued with Artificial Intelligence…
'Pythagoras, …
myself…,
and I’m fairly sure I lost to all three!
The end of the week had me contemplating August, what would August bring?
August, Universal month-9 isn’t asking us to become someone else.
It’s requesting us to stop dragging June and July along with us.
Honestly, if July has felt like carrying six shopping bags, two emotional support cakes, and a slightly injured Kangal…,
August is asking…,
‘What are you prepared to put down?’
OK, I've said enough LOL, so before we head off into ‘What’s New, let’s take a peek at this coming weeks numbers.
🔢 The Numbers for the Week Ahead
Numerology Snapshot: 27 July – 02 August
Monday 27th– Universal Day 8 – Have you ever noticed how Monday morning can make you feel like a manging Director of a company you don’t remember applying to manage? Emails, washing up, shopping, kids taxi, appointments, the dog looking at you expectantly…, Welcome to the 8 energy Madam Director! It’s practical, productive, and it wants results. Just don’t try and run this cookie before your first cuppa LOL.
Tuesday 28th– Universal Day 9 – hmm, the 9 has a habit of asking ‘Do you still need to carry that around?’ Whether it’s a grudge, a drawer full of tangled USB cables, or those jeans you’re convinced will fit you again – one day…, today is the day to let go…
‘Just do it’ 😊
Wednesday 29th – Universal Day 1. Fresh Page. Fresh Start. If you’ve been saying ‘I’ll start next week,’ congratulations…, next week has arrived LOL. Whatever you’re facing, the hardest part is usually the beginning, and after that, momentum has a funny way of lending a hand.
Thursday 30th – Universal Day 2. Time to slow the pace, phone a friend, or just sit with a cuppa. There’s no rush to fix anything today.
Friday 31st – Universal Day 3. Finally, a day to laugh, create, express, and stop taking life quite so seriously. If you’ve had a week like me and caught yourself talking to the washing machine, or negotiating a cantankerous overlocker, today is your day. Go and do something that makes your soul smile.
Saturday 1st Aug – Universal Day 2. A softer energy has returned. Perfect for family BBQ’s, friends, and those conversations that somehow begin with, ‘I won’t stay long…, and yet they don’t end for another three hours and more cake LOL.
Sunday 2nd– Universal Day 3. If the sun is shining where you are, enjoy it. If it’s raining, dance and sing in it. Life doesn’t stop to wait for perfect conditions…, ‘just saying’.
This week in a nutshell - This week begins with its sleeves rolled up and a clipboard in hand, but don't let Monday fool you. As the days unfold, the energy softens, creativity returns, conversations deepen, and there's a growing sense that we're preparing for something new.
And then comes August.
A Universal Month 9.
Not a month to panic-clean the garage (unless that's your thing!), but a month to ask:
‘What am I ready to stop carrying?’
Because sometimes the heaviest thing we own isn't in the loft... it's between our ears.
So, if none of the numbers resonate this week, simply remember this:
Don't carry July into August if it's already worn you out.
Stick the kettle on, put your feet up, and give yourself permission to travel a little lighter.
