Numbers By Design
by Kathleen Jacoby
1 - Time for review and
assessment. Where are you going? How are you getting there?
This month you have some deeper questions to ask and an opportunity
to deal with the validity of your plans, or time to strip away
misconceptions that get in the way of who you really are. There
may be someone from the past who resurfaces for resolution of
your relationship or someone new who feels like a teacher, soul
mate, or major test. However the month plays out, it is calling
you to be truthful with yourself and others. You are getting
ready for a great leap forward…but this month is about resolution
of past debts in your favor or reckoning with what you owe.
Look at whatever is given as a major opportunity to grow…and
you will!
2 - The tone of the month
picks up as you feel a need to organize and direct your life
so that you can accomplish more of what you would like to do.
There can be powerful people who come to assist you, and a feeling
of success and recognition for things you have done in the past.
However, where you have avoided taking care of things that needed
your attention, it's judgment day. Life is not asking you to
be perfect, but it is requiring that you take care of what is
in front of you to the best of your present ability. As you
do…you prosper. When you don't…the issues you sidestep will
come back in full force to haunt you later. Find balance and
harmony in your life and make sure that all of you is getting
an opportunity to participate in your life…not just the parts
that are the most demanding.
3 - June is a time of
completion. There may be graduation, loss, or a sense of recognition
that certain ways of doing things are no longer appropriate.
You have an opportunity to clear out closets, relationships,
and attitudes that no longer serve you. You also may be asked
to allow something to slip out of your life because its purpose
has come to conclusion. Let it go with love. This month gives
you a chance to determine what is important to take with you
into the future and what needs to be left behind. As you make
a point of standing on the top of the metaphorical mountain,
you can see clearly and share your vision with others. Anything
you do that is dramatic, philanthropic, and for the betterment
of humanity is given a hand by life. Whenever you get petty
or possessive, you become the loser. So…open your arms…climb
up to the top of the mountain…and enjoy the view!
4 - A new beginning?
Opening doors, connecting with unique individuals or acting
on opportunities that are presented…this is June's potential.
You are aware of yourself, your abilities, and what you need.
Now it's time to forge ahead with directness and belief in yourself.
Pay attention to how other people react to you. You will gain
clarity about the role you are assigned and determine if it
is large enough to contain who you really are, or who you are
becoming. Your watchword this month is right use of will. Make
sure that if you feel defensive in the face of criticism, or
determined that you must have that new whatever RIGHT NOW…it
is not your higher will that is operating. Give others the dignity
of their input, knowing you will make the final decision, and
by waiting 3 days to purchase whatever you feel you "must have"
in the moment, you give yourself an opportunity to prove its
validity or see it as just part of a momentary whim.
5 - Prepare for an awakening!
Is it in the form of a person, an idea, or an incident? You
are super sensitive this month, and it is important to be aware
of where you are in context to your spatial location. You may
be overwhelmed with ideas and not watch where you are going.
You might feel brilliant in one moment and absolutely dumfounded
the next. And you might recognize that someone you have been
spending time with is either the brilliant light of your life
or a drain on your resources, emotionally and physically. You
get an opportunity to deal with opposites, duality, and the
need to choose Faith over Fear as your guiding principle. By
watching the quality of your thoughts, the food you eat, and
the people you partner with…you gain major insight into whether
you are choosing nourishment or depletion. Then you can choose
what to do about it.

- Tra la, it's June…it's time to sing a tune. This is
a month where the playful part of you wants to emerge. There
are aspects related to the child and creative part of your nature
or children who are part of your life. Find humor and outlets
for your imagination and creative abilities. Color, good friends,
lightheartedness, inspiring others, selling, attracting magical
circumstances into your life, and being in the limelight are
part of your opportunities. Leave the critics and emotionally
draining people behind this month. It's time for you to have
some fun. Only when you are pulled under by emotional issues
do you lose the attraction that is rightfully yours. So, you
can love and care for those in your keeping…but remember to
let yourself enjoy and participate in the life that is being
offered…because it isn't always available in quite the same
way.
7 - The practical requirements
of life present themselves and you are best advised to build
slowly and methodically for the future. Where is your life working?
What parts of your life need reworking? This is a month in which
to look at things realistically. You also have an opportunity
of shifting reality this month. There can be marriage, divorce,
births and death…all the rites of passage that make us aware
of our place on the planet and the much larger context in which
we play. You can reframe something from the past that allows
you to transform your life, and by valuing who you are and being
willing to risk to the unknown where appropriate, a new way
of looking at life can emerge.
8 - Change. Movement.
Action. Variety. Unexpected events. Busy month…active mind.
It is an expansive time with many opportunities and potential
for travel. But your requirement is to be discerning. How much
time do you realistically have? How many things can you reasonably
commit yourself to? Without taking stock, you may find yourself
overloaded with activity. If that is the case, you may get moody
or critical of others and yourself. Channel your energy into
meaningful projects where continuity is evident. Give yourself
space so you have time to relax, and enjoy friends and family
or expanding ideas and horizons. Be clear about your motivation
in all endeavors, read the fine print, and if necessary, have
good legal representation. In addition to all of this…enjoy!
9 - Does someone
need your compassion, forgiveness, or care? Are you feeling
good, or are there areas where you are looking at health challenges
or relationship issues? The focus this month is on expectations
that can cause stress to the system. As you hold rigidly to
ideals or ideas about the way things "should" be, you may find
yourself resentful and martyred. However, when you recognize
and accept human frailty, there is enormous satisfaction through
service to others. Coming from "heart" creates an opening for
many good things to come your way…so open to and receive the
love that is waiting for you to welcome it into your life.
