I am sure we all appreciate, with the current situation facing the world, ie high inflation, extortionate utility bills, war in Ukraine etc., that this needs to be a year of change for us and seeing seven is a very spiritual number, it has great potential to be very positive change.

(Seven is probably the first spiritual number. Our distant relatives, the Neanderthals, with the relatively large brains are credited with inventing language, art and they were the first to count, or think in numbers. Around 38,000BCE one common design found in rock art was a series of seven dots or parallel lines, believed to have had sacred significance).

Seven represents the wisdom seeker, the search for inner truth which means not everything will be exactly as it seems. Seven is introspective and seeks perfection. Seven resonates with the attributes of spiritual awakening and seeks to break free of any recurring patterns that lower our vibrations. Breaking free of the old way of doing things and creating something new and more in line with our spiritual values.  Seven is a deeply mystical and spiritual number. It relates to taking time to retreat into solitude; to search our souls and to reach our hidden depths. So, we will be being challenged to change the way we think and behave and to find our inner truth as souls.  Seven is our natural state of being. This means we can expect lots of positive change in our personal and collective lives.

As with all change we have to go through chaos to find new order so we can expect this year to be full of ups and downs as well, but we can know that wherever we end up we are going to be in a better place than we are now.

In recent years the seven energies occurred during 2014 2007, 1998. Think back to the types of changes that took place in those years.

Certainly 2014 was an “all change” year for me personally as that was the year I sold my home and moved to Dorset to look after my parents. Over the last 9 years I have had less and less time for work as I have taken care of family needs. It feels like I have come full circle and perhaps work will pick up again. I do however feel it will be different in some way. How different I will find out as the year progresses. Only time will tell.

If you personally are on a year seven or have a life path number of seven then the energies this year will be effecting you even more strongly.

To find your personal year add your birth date to your birth month to 2023. To find your Life Path number then add the numbers in your birthday together ie 2/8/1950 would be 2+8+15 = 25 and 2+5 = 7.

if you are a seven in this seven year your positive traits will be enhanced as well as your negative traits coming up to be overcome and transformed.  (See below for what these are.)

On the 7th of July (the 7th month) 2023 (a 7 year) we will be experiencing the energies of 777. This will triple the energy of 7 making it an even more powerful opportunity for personal and collective change for the better.

777 is the vibration of the spiritual warrior. One who walks a narrow path within self and soul. Seven works for the light, by the light and with the light. Seven eats, drinks thinks, and speaks the light. In a seven year we will not be allowed to stray outside the boundaries of light for more than a fleeting thought. Seven brings you home the place where miracles are an every minute event, where you can fly and dance in the stars while in any and all forms. Seven is a place where wonder, magic and miracles are seen as natural happenings.

Secondary 777 dates will be 16th July, and 25th July where the above energies will all be very strong.

What other influences will be around for you personally this year?

As well as the general energy effecting all of us globally this year, the influence of your personal Life Path Number and your personal Life Year will also be at work. The positive and negative traits of both numbers will be hard at work giving you opportunities to refine those traits and transfer them all to positive.

To find your own Life Path Number add the numbers within your birthday until you get to a single digit. 

For instance, my Life Path Number is 8 (2nd August 1951). 2+8+1+9-5+1 = 26. 2+6 = 8. Eights are about Karma, about clearing patterns from past lives. As an eight, in a seven year, I would be going deeply into karmic patterns, and doing lots of soul searching.

My Personal Year ie 2+8+2+0+2+3 = 17 and 1+7 = 8. So this is, for me, also a personal eight year as well, therefore, those eight energies will be doubled. It should be an interesting year for me as I grapple with the negative traits of eight to release any remaining karmic patterns and enhance those positive traits and hopefully becoming even better acquainted with my soul self and becoming even more of everything I can be.

Using the method above find your own Life Path Number and your own Personal Year Number and see the various things you will be experiencing this year.
