The year ends with an interesting number sequence: 12/31/23 or 123123. According to numerology, this is significant. Find out the number’s meaning as we end 2023 with a bang!
What does 12/31/23 mean?
According to a professional astrologer and author of “Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power,” Narayana Montúfar, “Number 1 brings the very spark of initiation, 2 focuses on building, and 3 is related to the concept of creation. Together, the sequence of these three numbers speaks of the spark of initiation that seeks to build a new creation. Of course, since this sequence of numbers won’t happen again for a hundred years, on 12/31/2123, whatever is being created now is something BIG!”
Numerologist Christine DeLorey of Creative Numerology adds: “This number sequence contains two 1s, two 2s, and two 3s. It, therefore, contains three Master Numbers: 11, 22, and 33. Together, they give us 66, and because all Master Numbers are multiples of 11, this date contains ALL the Master Numbers from 11 to 99. This suggests New Year’s Eve 2023 is a major multi-directional turning point in the human journey, even though the Master Numbers are “hidden” on that date.”
If you add up 123123, you get 12. Twelve is considered a Master Number that can mean spiritual enlightenment. This day could deliver epiphanies and “aha” moments for individuals and the collective.
12 is also associated with The Hanged Man in Tarot, a card often interpreted as a new perspective. The end of the year may find us looking at the world with fresh eyes. Remember that the Hanged Man is in a challenging position, which means we might resist seeing other points of view. But if we let go of our beliefs, we can develop compassion and tolerance.
However, if you add in 20 (as in 2023), it reveals something else. DeLorey adds, “Adding the 20 to this already complex numeric sequence produces the karmic number 14/5, which reminds us that to move forward, we must stop repeating old mistakes, and be determined to learn as we go.”
