Well, if that's what you really want, then this does the trick:

0[1-7]/05/*

but note that that will give you "January through July of any year" or
"05 January through 05 July of any year", depending on the local date
system. If what you really want is "January through July of 2005" then
this is what you want:

/0?[1-7]/05
