Rosh Chodesh Av for the year תשעב is the evening of July 19 to July 20 2012 while the Fifth Day of Nissan, which connects to the month of Iyar is on March 27th and the day of March 28th 2012
According to the teachings of the ARI (Rabbi Issac Luria may he forever be a light unto the world) one should follow the steps below. The more one learns about the following:
1)The permutation of the names of God associated with the month of Av;
2)The letters that created the month of Av and the constellation associated with the Tribe of Shimon which is the Aryeh אריה (Lion);
3)The correlation of items from the Sefer Yetzirah;
4)The Torah Verses that describe the initial offering of the Nasi of the Tribe of Shimon;
5) The character traits described by the name of that Nasi which for Shimon is Shelumiel Ben Tzurishadai -, as well as the character traits described by the permutation of the name of the Tribe;
6)and The consciousness behind the giving of each of articles of the offering described by the Torah Verses,
the stronger will be ones connection to the tools of Kabbalah that will give a person control over the month of the year that is being developed on the fifth day of Nissan which is control over the month of Av
Tribe = Shimon; Sense = Hearing; Controller = Left Kidney;

Steps to follow
It is best to do the saying or scanning of this information during the morning hours since morning has the energy of Mercy within it.
1. The permutation of the Tetragramaton.There are 4 letters in the Tetragramaton which would normally form 24 permutations, but there are 2 letters which are the same which makes only 12 permutations. One for each month. Scan these Names of God from Right to Left. These are the permutations for the month of Iyyar.

2. The Ana Bekoach is composed of the 42 letter name of God used during the creation of the physical world. As such it has the essence of creation with in it. This also includes the essence of the Science of Hebrew Astrology. Please Say/Sing the Ana Bekoach; Stop at the fourth Verse and Scan these Letters and Names from Right to Left.

Caf created the Planet Shemesh שמש which means the Sun and the Tet created the Astrological sign of Leo which in Hebrew is Aryeh אריה which means Lion.
3. Various relationships are described in the Sefer Yetzirah. These relationships help create unity within the physical world by meditating upon the relationships.Take note of the following: The gematria of Aryeh is 216 which is the Number of letters in the 72 Names of God (3 times 72). The month of Leo is a difficult month as it has the Holiday of Tisha B'Av which includes the destruction of both Temples. We also have the Holiday of Tu B'Av. Here is an understanding of thi sduality which is an aspect of the energy of Av. The two senses of speaking and hearing are obviously a pair, just as in the sin of the people's hearing (accepting) the "evil tongue" spoken by the spies, the sin of the 9th of Av.
Thus we conclude that the power of the month of Av (the month of [apparent] destruction) is to "hear" the message "spoken" by the month of Nissan (the month of redemption), and integrate the first and foremost power of Israel?leadership?into the consciousness of the Jewish people.
This is the secret of the "pregnancy" and "birth" of Mashiach (the quintessential leader of Israel) from the 1st of Av (the beginning of his 9 day pregnancy) to the 9th of Av (his birth). He then fully unites with the consciousness of the people, "in matrimony," on the 15th of Av.
4. The donation of each Tribe Leader (called a Nasi.) is the same at the dedication of the Mishkan in the desert. By making connection to the reading from the Torah of each donation by each Nasi each day during Nissan, we can take control of the Astrological effect associated with that Tribe. Read or Scan the Hebrew right to left; The smaller letters are the transliteration of the Hebrew; and the regular letters are the English Translation of Bamidbar Numbers Chapter 7 Verses 36 to 41
Verse 1 for this Nasi; Verse 36 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
ביום החמישי נשיא לבני שמעון שלמיאל בן-צורישדי
BeYom HaMishi Nasi Levnai Shimon Shelumiel Ben Tzurishadai
On the fifth day Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai, prince of the children of Simeon:
Verse 2 for this Nasi; Verse 37 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
קרבנו קערת-כסף אחת שלשים ומאה משקלה מזרק אחד כסף שבעים שקל בשקל הקדש שניהם מלאים סלת בלולה בשמן למנחה
Karbeno Karit Kesef Echat Sheloshim Oomeah Meshaklah Mezerak Echad Kesef SheviIm Shekel BeShekel HaKodesh Shenaihem Melaim Solet Beluulah Beshemen Leminchah
he presented for his offering one silver dish, the weight thereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;
Verse 3 for this Nasi; Verse 38 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
כף אחת עשרה זהב מלאה קטרת
Kaf Echat ASarah Zehav MelaAh Ketoret
one golden pan of ten shekels, full of incense;
Verse 4 for this Nasi; Verse 39 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
פר אחד בן-בקר איל אחד כבש-אחד בן-שנתו לעלה
Par Echad Ben Bakar Ehyil Echad Kavash Echad Ben Shenato LeOlah
one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb of the first year, for a burnt-offering;
Verse 5 for this Nasi; Verse 40 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
שעיר-עזים אחד לחטאת
Seir Ezim Echad LeChataat
one male of the goats for a sin-offering;
Verse 6 for this Nasi; Verse 41 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)
ולזבח השלמים בקר שנים אילם חמשה עתודים חמשה כבשים בני-שנה חמשה זה קרבן שלמיאל בן-צורישדי
Oolzevach Hashlamim Bakar Shenaim alim Chameshe Ahtudim Chamesha Kevasim Benai Shanah Chamesha Zeh Karban Shelumiel the son of Tzurishaddai
and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year. This was the offering of Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai
5. The name of each Tribe gives hints to the character traits of the Astrological sign associated with that Tribe. Also the name of each Nasi gives additional insights into the character traits of the tribe and the Astrological Signs.
Our Sages teach that not all of these names are positive traits. This indicates traits that need to be worked upon to transform the person (ourselves) into a higher state of consciousness. The more one learns about the names associated with the Astrological Signs the more one can learn about his own correction!
The Tribe for This day of Nissan is Shimon connected to Av
The Nasi for Av is Shelumiel Ben Tzurshadai
Each name including the full name has Verses from the Tanach that speak to the person about their correction and also character and personality traits. Here are the verses for Shelumiel Ben Tzurshadai from the Tanach
6. Each Nasi brought the same contribution for his sacrifice in honor of the dedication of the Mishkan. There is a custom and teaching about Torah. There is no extra letter in the Torah. So why does the Torah list the exact same contribution from each Nasi? It would be less letters to say it once only! The reason is that there is an important spiritual law about consciousness that can be learned from the following matrix. This matrix will also help one make a better connection to the control of the Astrological Signs To see the contribution read verse 13 to 17 above.
