Creating the health, happiness, success, and love you desire means aligning with the natural cycles of life. Numerology, the study of numerical vibrations, helps you harmonize with current collective energies in what is known as the universal year.
The universal year is a unique vibration that influences us all from January 1 to December 31 every year. It is found by adding together the digits of the year and reducing the sum to a single digit.
2023 is a seven (7) universal year (2+0+2+3 = 7) that beckons you to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. It comes between two very active years to give you time to catch your breath, reset, and hit the pause button. It is a quiet respite from last year’s challenging six (6) universal year that demanded you step up, take responsibility for the obligations in your life, and focus on the needs of those around you. 2023 is a year to slow down, smell the roses, and shift focus.
The keyword for 2023 is contemplation.
This year is all about YOU. The energy urges you to pay attention to yourself and focus on what you want out of life. Ask yourself these questions: What do you need? What do you desire? What is in your best interest? Only then can you make the decisions that will benefit you. If this all sounds a little selfish, it is!
This year is a make-time-for-yourself-and-be-kind-to-yourself kind of year. Take advantage of the 7’s energy and prioritize yourself first. Retreat inwardly because next year’s (8) vibration will require just as much active energy from you as last year’s (6) vibration. Do not mistake this year’s restful interlude as a do-nothing year – it is not. There is work to accomplish, and that work is within yourself. The inspired action of 2023 is thoughtful and reflective.
Inner development will take center stage, and although it may not look like you are achieving a lot from an outer perspective, the subtle action you take this year is the fuel that will keep you going and propel you forward. Knowing what to do and when to do it is essential for success, so I have put together a list of practical ways to help you maximize the new year’s energy.
To-Do List for 2023:
Spend time alone.
Get out in nature, especially near water (take a hike, walk, swim, etc.)
Meditate.
Start a gratitude journal.
Read.
Get quality (and restful) sleep.
Examine and investigate your thoughts.
Get a health checkup.
Study/enroll in school.
Engage in spiritual practice.
Go to therapy.
Prioritize self-care (get a massage, acupuncture, Reiki, chakra balancing, etc.)
Expand your self-awareness (get a numerology, astrology, tarot, oracle, or Human Design reading where you can learn more about yourself on a deeper level.)
Universal years run in consecutive cycles of nine, and we are nearing the end of the cycle that began in 2017, which means that whatever was happening in your life at that time will come to a head this year. The number 7 rules time, so expect things to surface that need to be released or resolved. Septenary cycles reflect a dramatic shift in life, and this year is an auspicious time to reassess your priorities and values moving forward. Rely on your intuition for the next 12 months and trust what you receive. What happens will be for the best.
7, the number of wisdom, reminds you that everything is unfolding according to a higher principle though you may not understand why at the time. The 7 empowers you to trust. Its energy brings healing when you retreat into solitude, listen to the yearnings of your soul, and learn from past experiences. Trust yourself as you navigate the inner realms and if it serves you to let something go, then release it.
With everyone feeling the urge to go within, we will see an expansion of spiritual, religious, or metaphysical studies. Professionals in these areas would do well to expand their offerings because many will need their helpful guidance and expertise. 2023 is a time to gain a deeper understanding of self and open up to new levels of awareness.
There will be lots to accomplish next year, so enjoy the much-needed rest this year brings because 2024 will urge you to get productive and focus on creating abundance in all areas of your life.
Though we all feel the influence of 7’s introspective energy, our personal year numbers, life cycle periods, transits, and pinnacles will substantially affect each of us more. Visit my website to book a personalized numerology reading, including monthly insights for 2023.
