According to Numerology, December 2023 is a 1 Universal Month (12 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 19, and 1 + 9 = 10, and 1 + 0 = 1).

December is a powerful month, and it's so full of promise -- can you feel it?!

As the calendar turns, a brand new numerology cycle has begun, and December 2023 brings the welcome influence of the number 1. After the gentle closure of last month's 9 Universal Month energy, we've all kissed goodbye whatever was holding us back (here's hoping!) and are ready for something new.

Now it's time to welcome in a little of that creativity and courage that the number 1 is so well known for.

What projects, ideas, or initiatives have you been wanting to put into action, but have been waiting for just the right moment to start? What are the things that scare you and feel just a little out of reach?

Well, your moment has come!

1 Universal Months don't come around too often (if you're very lucky, you'll get just two of these numbers in a year) so make the most of it.

Take that risk.

Put yourself out there.

Speak up.

Selfish doesn't have to be a dirty word -- December 2023 is begging you to put yourself first for a change and invest a little time and energy in what truly lights you up.

The collective energy of this monthly numerology can also lead to breakthroughs -- in leadership, innovation, and adventure. We're all feeling enlivened, powerful, and bolstered by that "can-do" attitude.

This is Numerology for believing in yourself!

On the downside, 1 Universal Months can feel a little isolating, especially for those who love company. With everyone and their dog off breaking new ground, there may be less time for friendship and connection.

By the time next month swings around, you'll be able to get back to your nearest and dearest. So for now, get ready to power up!

This is the collective energy that December 2023 carries.

How to Calculate your Personal Month number

To calculate your Personal Month number, you'll need to do a little simple math.

Step 1: Add the individual digits of your birth month and day. For example, if you were born on April 26, add 4 + 2 + 6 = 12.

Step 2: Add previous sum to the digits of the current year. For example, if you were calculating this answer in 1995, add 12 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 36.

Step 3: Reduce the previous sum to a single digit if needed. For example, 3 + 6 = 9.

Step 4: Add sum to current calendar month number. For example, if you were calculating this answer in May, add 9 + 5 = 14.

Step 5: Reduce the previous sum to a single digit if needed. For example, 1 + 4 = 9. The person in this example is experiencing a personal 9 month.

Personal Month 1

As you launch into this new month, a brand-new cycle is taking root in your life. Lucky for you, the energy of the 1 brings power, independence, and a can-do-attitude!

This Numerology bestows you with a powerful opportunity to start something new, but here’s the catch: it's got to be something for YOU. What's that passion project you've had sitting on the back burner for months or even years? It's time to bring it to the forefront of your focus once more.

If you're used to putting others first, you could feel uneasy spending so much time and attention on your own desires now. Don’t worry, you’re not being self-centered. This really is your time to shine. Don't hold back.

If you're not too sure what your fresh start pertains to, adopt an attitude of curiosity and experimentation. Explore a few things you've never tried before -- like an online class, a unique hairstyle, or a new daily routine. Mix things up a bit and keep an open mind about where this exciting month is taking you!

Personal Month 2

After the self-interested influence of last month's number 1 energy, it's time to shift your focus to friends, family, and partnerships. The 2 holds a soft and sensitive vibration, so you'll likely feel a little less spontaneous and carefree -- and a little more in need of comfort.

Make time for long chats and intimate dinners. Even if you're not in a romantic relationship, this is a great time for deepening your existing friendships and making new connections. It's also a good time to create harmony in all avenues.

If an area of your life feels chaotic or out of balance, the volatility may grate on you more than usual. Work on redressing this with diplomacy (a strength of the 2!) and tact. While you may wish to avoid conflict at this time, you shouldn’t bend over backward to please others either.

Stand your ground (using that superpower of negotiation again), and you'll be sure to achieve win-wins for everyone involved.

Personal Month 3

Sunshine and delight are on the menu when you're in a 3 Personal Month!

For you, the energy of this month is artistic, free-thinking, and creative. You'll be looking for ways to get your voice heard and your words read. This makes it an ideal time to focus on your communication skills. Practice active listening (that's actually listening, not waiting for your turn to speak!) and giving real credence to what other people are saying (even if you don't share their opinions). Your exchanges will become all the more valuable, and you'll find that your conversations start to truly inspire and uplift the folks around you.

There's the chance that you'll struggle to focus on your work and career this month (the number 3 can sometimes bring a scattered energy). Try to weave fun and games throughout your daily routine. Remember to keep smiling and see the positives wherever you can -- and it won't be hard. This is one of the most optimistic months you'll experience all year!

Consider starting a gratitude journal. You can keep yourself in high spirits all year long by referring back to it in future months.

Personal Month 4

For you, this month cranks up your need to instill structure, order, and practicality into your life.

Your Numerology now favors action, so you'll likely feel frustrated if you're stuck in the planning stages of anything for too long or waiting for other people on the team. Because of this, it may be tempting to shoulder too much responsibility yourself and take on a lion's share of the work. Even if you’re capable of handling everything, you should avoid putting too much strain on yourself -- otherwise, you'll quickly become exhausted.

The 4 is one of the most resourceful numbers, meaning this month you'll easily be able to find what you need to get your plans off the ground. Whether it's another pair of hands, a little more information, or some tools to get a job done, be sure to open yourself up to the abundance that's all around you this month. You don't have to go it alone!

Personal Month 5

Wondering if it's time to start planning next year's holiday?! The Numerology of the 5 can ignite your sense of adventure, so don't be surprised if you feel a little restless over the next four weeks.

The hard work ethic you perfected last month will likely feel suffocating before too long if you don't make a change or two. Try switching up your routine a little and bringing in some variety to quell any feelings of boredom. Changing your perspective for a day, an hour, or even just five minutes can do wonders for your soul.

As the center of the numerological cycle, the 5 tends to be a time for course corrections, so if you have been feeling like life's going in a direction you'd rather avoid, then it's time to course correct.

The number 5 also calls on us to seek pleasure. Live life through your senses this month (all five of them!) and be sure to move your body and breathe deeply. Look for the beauty in the tiny moments, and take opportunities to nourish yourself throughout the day.

Personal Month 6

Time to hunker down again after a change-filled and adventurous few weeks! This month brings gentle loving vibes, so expect the needs of close family and friends to be high on your list of priorities. In Numerology the 6 is often regarded as a maternal number, so any issues around parents and family dynamics could also come to the forefront. If you have caring responsibilities, these may increase.

The 6 is also one of the most creative and resourceful numbers, so you'll easily find ways to stretch in new directions. Look for a creative outlet that's not tied to your responsibilities. This could be a good time to start a crafting or DIY project.

Be sure to also find time for self-care. This Numerology can be one of the busiest of the whole cycle as it encourages us to put so much time and energy into other people and their needs, but of course, it's just as important to keep your own inner resources topped up. Don't think of this as a luxury -- it's a necessity!

Personal Month 7

No matter how much you want to get ahead at this time, your Numerology has other plans! A 7 Personal Month brings you a time of retreat.

You will thrive in the weeks ahead if you prioritize solitude and contemplation, so be sure to carve out some me-time. Even if this is usually the last thing on your list, give it a try!

This frequency is urging you to ask the big questions -- to figure out your values, your beliefs, and what you truly want for your life. Unless you're square with these things, you'll be going nowhere fast, so don't skim over the surface. Get ready to go deep.

On a similar note, this month presents some beautiful chances to get real with the people you're close to. This is your opportunity to get honest about what you really need, so ask for space, reassurance, and straight answers when you need them.

For many people, the frequency of the 7 is highly spiritual, so this time can coincide with mystical experiences and soul-searching breakthroughs. This could be an opportunity for a weekend retreat or a spiritual healing session. The likelihood is you'll go deeper and further than you would at any other time in the year.

Personal Month 8

This month's focus is on expansion. It's time to grow into your personal power and truly realize your strength!

An 8 Personal Month brings determination. It also brings the resources and strategy for genuine achievement, so this could be one of the most abundant months of your entire year! Don't fritter it away. Make a plan and stick to it.

Expect job opportunities to show up. These will likely involve more money or other perks. If at first glance they don't, then make sure you ask for the compensation you deserve. If there's any time you're going to be rewarded for speaking up, it's now!

It's important not to cut any corners this month. No short-changing, no speeding, and no little white lies. Make truth and integrity your cornerstone. You may not realize it, but your actions cause a ripple effect. This month that’s even more true, so ensure the vibrations you create contain only the best possible intentions.

Personal Month 9

For you, this month brings closure.

As the very end of the numerical cycle, the 9 comes to gather up all the loose ends. This month encourages you to finish what you've started so you can be ready to move on.

The best way to deal with this energy is to trust it. Something in your life is coming to its natural end. Take the time to honor what you’ve learned and experienced -- then let it go. Maybe a person is destined to leave your life this month. Maybe a job or work project will reach its conclusion. Maybe an emotional pattern or a habit is no longer serving you. It can take bravery to cut ties with any of these things, because what lies on the other side is likely unknown. Still, the universe only ever has your best interests at heart -- and your Numerology supports this.

Try to give gratitude for everything in your life. Realize how your experiences have served you on your journey thus far and then surrender your attachment. Next month brings a bright new beginning. If you prepare now, you’ll be ready to welcome whatever it offers!
