Universal Month

The universal month number narrows the universal year down to a single calendar month. It is calculated by adding the universal year number to the current month and reducing the total, and because it does not use anyone's birth date, it is the same for every person during that month.

How it's calculated

  1. Find the universal year number for the current year.
  2. Add the number of the current calendar month (January = 1, through December = 12).
  3. Reduce the total to a single digit.

Example In a universal year 1, the month of March (month 3): 1 + 3 = 4. That March is a universal month 4.

Common questions

How is the universal month different from the personal month?
The universal month is shared by everyone and built from the universal year. The personal month is unique to you and built from your own personal year instead.
Why would I track the universal month?
Some numerologists use it to describe broad social or collective trends for a given month, separate from what is happening in any one person's personal cycle.
Does the universal month change on the same date for everyone?
Yes. Because it depends only on the calendar, it changes at the start of each calendar month for everyone at once, unlike personal cycles which can shift around a birthday.
