Hello and Happy Friday, Travelers.
This article will have a bit of numerology in it, but nothing that will make your head swoon like say - trigonometry.
2023 is a Universal 7 year. We arrive at this number by adding 2023 like this:
(2+0+2+3=7)
You can use numerology to figure out what kind of energy exists in any area of life - addresses, phone numbers - even your name. This is a quick, fun way to gain insight into the type of energy that exists for you.
With Universal Years, you need to remember that everyone on Earth is influenced by the energy of Universal Years so it is a subtle, collective experience. Think of it as “driving through a particular landscape.”
In numerology, the influence of a Universal Year is believed to wane during the last three months of the year - so from October - December. By the time 1 January 2023 came around, we should have all started to experience the waning influence of 2022 - a Universal 6 Year, and are beginning to feel the energy of the 7 Universal Year.
A quick overview of a 6 Universal Year: The number six resonates with the energy of love and we may have been focused on family, relationshpis, responsibility, service, balance harmony, nurturing, warmth and healing. It is typically a time where we hunker down and adjust to the changes that came into our lives during the previous 5 Universal Year of 2021 (keeping in mind that the Number 5 vibrates to changes, ups and downs and freedom).
2022 has been a year in which some of us may have reinvented ourselves - this includes changes to our home environment, social relationships and even our relationship with ourselves. The ultimate goal for the Universal 5 Year was to create a safe, solid, functional foundation for our lives.
After the changes of the 5 and 6 Universal Years, it is now a time for us to turn inward for reflection, hence the 7 Universal Year. If you’ve been following my tarot readings then you should remember that 7’s are a time of questioning one’s self and contemplating what comes next in regards to our personal development. But it is also a time where should now be ready to implement what we’ve learned over the past few years. For example, in the previous 6 Universal Year (2022) we may have learned new skills like how to “fill our own well” and explored what we needed to create a home/foundation for ourselves. Now in the 7 Universal Year we will need to apply what we’ve learned.
7 Universal Years are usually very active, but often the action is more internal than external. Universal 7 Years require that we dig deep to explore who we’ve become after all the changes that have occurred in our lives - both individually and collectively. This year there should be a focus on many of the “r - words” - rest, re-evaluation, recalibration, reflection, restoration and renewal. This all applies to our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual levels. It is also a good year for planning, organizing and finishing up any projects left over from the previous year.
While a 7 Universal Year may sound like a solitary endeavor, this is not necessarily the case. Universal 7 Years are often a time when we may feel drawn to compassionately help others. Just keep in mind that whatever you choose to do with the energy should be based upon your own personal values and not on what someone else may feel is “the right thing to do.” Part of the lesson for Universal 7 Year is learning to trust yourself and Spirit at a deeper level.
Do be aware that Universal 7 Years can present conflicts in that, on the one hand the world may press us to achieve and be active, yet the 7 Universal Year should offer encouragement to be introspective, self-reflective, self-focused - which is different from being SELF-ISH. Use this time to try and find a balance between the external expectations and demands and your own internal needs.
Here are a few recommendations for how to best utilize the Universal 7 Year energy:
Take everything one step at a time.
Make time to explore what is true for you because this year is all about YOU.
Don’t isolate yourself but do make time to be alone.
Learn to trust your intuitive hunches.
Find ways to give to others that feed your Soul - not deplete it!
Don’t feel a need to rush - especially when it comes to making important decisions.
Create and engage in a regular spiritual practice.
Keywords for the 7 Universal Year include: self-reflection, spirituality, faith, intution, study, analysis and philanthropy. This year will be all about personal growth but we also need to be mindful of how to balance this with being social. Keep in mind too that learning to trust your own intuition will be a great asset as although our logical minds may be in full gear, the answers that you need may come through intuition and not logic.
Looking ahead into 2024 - this will be a Universal 8 Year which are often intense. Everything is amped up when it comes to power, control achievement, advancement and recognition. But if we do the work of the Universal 7 Year then we should be ready to take advantage of the amazing opportunities that will be coming our way next year. And remember to breathe.
Hope this helps :)
