Numerology is the study of numbers as meaningful constructs related to human consciousness. Numbers occupy our lives in many ways, starting with number values associated with the letters of words, especially our names.
We have the numbers of our birth day, month, and year. Most countries have a number sequence for citizens (in the United States, it is the 9-digit Social Security Number or SSN). Most of us have a phone number; if we drive a car, we have a number plate. Each word and sequence of numbers reduces to a number between 1 and 9, and each of those numbers has spiritual meaning.
This article will explore the number meaning of this month and this month + this year.
The Two Numbers for Each Month
Each month of the year has two key numbers: the number of the month itself and the total of the month number plus the year number. June is the 6th month of the year, so number 6. June 2023 is 062023 or 13, which reduces to 4.
The Number 6 Month
This will be the month of service, teaching, and learning. We need to be helpful and ask for help if we are in need. Time to share your knowledge with others and/or learn something new for yourself. We need to help our community and be of service through our actions. This month we need to overcome challenges thrown in our way by working together; “many hands make work light.”
The sixth month of each new year is the time summer begins to settle in. If you are in the southern hemisphere, winter starts to establish itself. What skills do you need to share with others, or learn for yourself? Since this month focuses on teaching and learning, it is important to understand how this month works in terms of a 6 year (2022, last year) to a 7 year (2023, this year). In 2022 we had to work through a year of continuing transitions, disruptions, and alternative solutions that were set in motion at the end of 2019. Figuring out what the new normal will require us to do, spiritually speaking (7), will be the focus of this year.
The Number 4 Life Path and Destiny Number in the Number 6 Month
If you happen to be someone with a life path number 4 (determined by the total of your birth date) or a destiny path number 4 (determined by the total of the values of the letters of your name), then this month is especially important to you.
An individual that has life path number four is hard-working and concerned about stability. Therefore, they have passion and energy to build lasting results, maintain systems, and do what is necessary. Their personality develops through their efforts to establish themselves in the world. As reliable people, they embrace traditions, security, financial stability, and logic. So, they become successful through persistence. Since they endure to succeed in life, they overcome challenges thrown in their way by outlasting the challenge and using tried and true methods to succeed.
An individual that has a Destiny number four attracts the people who form the foundations of society. Therefore, think of them as managers who know how to gather the right people to complete tasks. Their personality helps organize others. These are the people you want managing your business or getting large tasks done that require the coordination of many others. Destiny wants these people to “build a better tomorrow”.

Your Number, and the 6 Month and 4 Month/Year
It is rather easy to calculate your life path number; it is simply the total of your birthday reduced to a single digit. In my case, I was born 04/12/1968, which equals 31, which reduces to a 4. My life path is about working hard, establishing a solid foundation, and staying within my limits.
