Happy summer 2026. In Buffalo, New York, it is very warm and humid. It has been a wet and cloudy spring that I loved because there were sunny days and cloudy days, wet and dry, and it all seemed to balance out. I trust it will balance out this summer as well.
July is the seventh month of the year, and in both base-10 and base-12 numerology, seven holds a high spiritual energy. In the chakra system, the crown chakra is the seventh, where a high spiritual truth can be revealed. We become aware of these truths when we are focused and reflective. The energy is present, available for us to incorporate into our reality if we are grounded and open to its gift.
A quick story.
Linda and I traveled 3 & ½ hours north of Toronto, with beautiful friends, for a four-day getaway, and the black flies, mosquitoes, and ticks drove me bonkers. The cabin was new, with a bathroom, a kitchen, and a nice couch, and I was not my usual wonderful self. We enjoyed nearby restaurants, art exhibits, and walkabouts, yet I just couldn’t generate any real giddy-up. It wasn’t till I got home, back in my shop, that I realized how quiet it was in the forest. How magical the pines were, and how I saw the connection between the artwork of the “Group of Seven” and this place. I nearly missed it. I got lucky because Linda really enjoyed being there and, on the way home, talked about her experience.
My suggestion: take time to breathe, focus, pay attention to your surroundings, and state your intention to realize what the universe is gifting us. I humbly admit that I could have benefited more from my own advice.
Back to # 7.
The spiritual energy of # 7 can lead to an awakening. We can believe that we are already living at a high vibration, yet be surprised by another level of awakening and wonder. We can find our perspective aligning and noticing a grander order all around and within us. Moments of mystical awareness beyond the physical and ordinary can occur. In this energy, life is extraordinary, experienced as deeper intuition and trust in your alignment with it.
The two astrological influences are Cancer ’til July 22 and Leo, from July 23 into August. The month can be experienced as emotional development (Cancer) leading into an outer, authentic expression of the genuine being you are evolving into.
A couple of dates to remember: 7/7/2026, 7/16/2026, and 7/25/2026. The year is a new beginning for the 77 energy. In base-12 the 7s mirror each other. This is a characteristic of a twin flame relationship. Two souls choosing to consciously reflect each other to magnify their spiritual evolution. This does not have to be a romantic partnership; it can be an alignment with a higher purpose, revealed by their conscious awareness of a higher spiritual path, journeyed together. This is a very precious time to discover the benefits of committing to this reflective energy of a twin flame relationship.
May we all enjoy a beautiful summer full of love and appreciation for Mother Earth.
Namaste, Tom
