Happy New Year! The meaning of 12/31/23

This year ends with an interesting number sequence: 12/31/23 or also 123123.
According to numerology, this is very significant.
Find out the number’s meaning while we end our 2023 with a bang!

It sounds good but…what is numerology?
Well, numerology is the ancient study of the meanings of numbers and their energetic effect on our lives. Scholars believe each number carries a sort of vibration and can reveal information about life paths, challenges, and even every sort of world affairs.
Try to imagine: the earliest teachings of numerology can be traced back to the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, and most modern numerology is based on his work which, in short, assigns different properties to each number.
And he also developed a system that attached numbers to letters!
But also recurring numbers play an essential role in numerology.
Have you ever glanced at the clock, and it’s 11:11?
I’m sure!
According to numerologists, this is a “Master Number” or “Angel Number”, a sign that your guides are looking out for you.

So, it’s no surprise many people are curious about our 12/31/23.
According to Narayana Montúfar, a professional astrologer, the author of “Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power”, 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, more precisely on 12/31/2123, whatever is being created now is something big!
If it wasn’t enough, Numerologist Christine DeLorey adds that this number sequence contains two 1s, two 2s, and two 3s, or 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.
Moreover, If you add up 123123, you get 12, considered a Master Number too, and that can mean spiritual enlightenment.
12 is also associated with The Hanged Man in Tarot, a card often interpreted as a new perspective.
Thus the end of the year may find us looking at the world with fresh eyes.
In addition, 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.
The same Christine DeLorey says also that, 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.

And what if we back to Angel Numbers?
Well, as mentioned above, some numerologists believe repeating numbers signify angelic forces at work.
Angel expert and Tarot reader Andrew Barker says that, as far as the sequence itself, if you reduce each number, without adding the additional ‘2’ to the year, it turns to 3/4/5 or 345 and, in Angel Numbers, 345 is about guidance in all its forms.
Is this a promise of a better tomorrow?
Yes, it’s possible.

In any case, every new year always brings out optimism, regardless of the numbers.
But Christine DeLorey says that, because these numbers are so intense, and with all that’s happening in our personal lives, and in the world, festivities are likely to be more subdued than usual, or perhaps more awakened.

Keeping this in mind, despite every New Year’s Eve is traditionally a time to let go of the old to prepare for the new, 123123 suggests this day is pivotal when a true breakthrough arrives, revealing both truth and potential.
And no matter how 2023 has unfolded, as this special end date promises a rebirth for 2024.
In other words, once the ball drops, we are in the right place to embrace what is coming to us, and it’s time to start again!
