GET IN. 🚗 WE’RE THRIVING!

Lucky #7

Don’t forget to strap in. 🚗🌬 According to numerology, 2023 is a 7 year, meaning this might just be your luckiest year in recent history. But don’t count on simply being in the right place at the right time. The number 7 is associated with introspection, research, and determination – all driven by a desire to better understand yourself and the world around you.

The 7th card of the Tarot’s major arcana is The Chariot card and it is this year’s universal tarot card. Which means we will all experience aspects of this card in some way or another this year. The Chariot depicts a warrior standing tall in his carriage, surrounded by symbols of power, transformation, magic, and victory. Everything he achieved he did so by being brave and bold. He endured difficulties along the way but eventually triumphed through concerted effort.

So as you continue to dream up your BIG plan for the year and embrace the energy of a fresh start, ask yourself where you can embrace the energy of the number 7 and The Chariot. Hint: This week’s links are a great place to start.
