As a recap for those who may not be familiar with the Universal Year Cycles of numerology: Each year has a universal theme (or energy) that we experience as a collective, and each year cycle builds on the last. Are you ready for self-reflection and to dive deep into the inner workings of your spiritual self? Because that is exactly what 2023 is inviting us to do. The collective will undergo major shifts in how we think, see, and view the world this year. Our sense of spirituality is growing tremendously and we may see shifts in our philosophies and spiritual beliefs. If you do not consider yourself a spiritual person, this year you may start to explore your spirituality more—either on purpose or by accident (say, for example, through a sudden spiritual awakening). I always like to think of Bruce Lee when I think of the number 7. He was a Life Path 7, and if you have ever watched any of his interviews, he represented that deep philosophical energy of the 7 so perfectly. One of his most famous quotes serves as great advice for entering this year: “Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot and it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Here are the themes of each Universal Month of 2023. Global consciousness is shifting massively this year. Expect more discussions on mental health, spirituality, energy, and esoteric wisdom to continue to make their way into the mainstream. Deeper truths that have been hidden for too long may also begin to be exposed in 2023. This is what is needed in order for humanity to wake up and make the necessary shifts toward a better world.
