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 Tammuz;
2)The letters that created the month of Tammuz and the constellation associated with the Tribe of Reuben which is the Sartan (Crab) סרטן;
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 Reuben;
5) The character traits described by the name of that Nasi which for Reuben is Elitzur Ben Shedaiur -, 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 fourth day of Nissan which is control over the month of Tammuz
Tribe = Reuben; Sense = Sight; Controller = Right Hand;

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 Seventh Verse and Scan these Letters and Names from Right to Left.
Taf created the Planet Levanah לבנה which means the Moon and the Chet created the Astrological sign of Cancer which in Hebrew is Sartan סרטן which means Crab.
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 planet moon is considered the malchut because like malchut the moon has no light of its own, yet it shares whatever light it receives by reflecting that light towards the earth. The crab is an animal that can not walk straight ahead. It must zig zag along to get where it is going. This is the nature of the Crab. It is difficult for them to be straight.
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 30 to 35
Verse 1 for this Nasi; Verse 30 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb of the first year, for a burnt-offering;

ולזבח השלמים בקר שנים אילם חמשה עתודים חמשה כבשים בני-שנה חמשה זה קרבן אליצור בן-שדיאור
Oolzevach Hashlamim Bakar Shenaim alim Chameshe Ahtudim Chamesha Kevasim Benai Shanah Chamesha Zeh Karban Elitzur Ben Shadaiur
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 Elitzur Ben Shadaiur.
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 Reuven connected to Tammuz
The Nasi for Tammuz is Elitzur Ben Shadaiur
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 Natanel Ben Tzoar 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.
