To find the numerological number of a Universal Year cycle is very simple. All you need to do is add the numbers of the year together and reduce them to a single digit. (For example, the year 2004 = 2+0+0+4 = 6.)

What does it mean?
Numerologically, 2004 is a 6 Universal Year! So, what does this mean and what can we expect?

The key words for the number 6 are responsibility and adjustment. The 5 Universal Year (2003) carried with it many changes, important decisions and sudden erratic happenings. The 6 Universal Year will have more of a calming effect upon our world. It is a much more protective vibration, bringing opportunities for in-depth decisions and adjustments. It is a time to settle disputes and accept things as they really are, without looking for perfection in everything.

The 6 is a year for leaders to use their abilities and seek advice from others. Interestingly, President George W. Bush is on a 6 Life Path (his birth date being July 6, 1946, which equals 7+6+1946 = 24 = 6), which makes him a leader who can make decisions. It would be wise for the entire country to join together in sending him mental support or prayer to help him use his “6” abilities during this Universal 6 Year so that he will serve with dignity, love and wisdom, without tyranny.

The 6 also carries a domestic and love vibration with much emphasis upon marriage, family, home and country. Our country and many families will be able to settle disputes if adjustments are made. This may require that everyone involved in such situations become more flexible and willing to admit errors, as well as assume responsibility for the errors and make the necessary changes. Overall, the 6 year holds a vibration for marriage; however, every vibration has a positive and negative aspect. That is why the positives and negatives involved in the 6 year could bring about new treaties or broken treaties, war or peace, many marriages or broken marriages. Whether the positive vibrations are realized depends upon the free will of those involved. It is all about positive or negative choices.

What the world needs now has to begin with me.
What the world needs now is love, and 2004 can be a year to practice love more than usual. You might focus on love of God, love of country, love of other nations, love of family and friends, and especially love of yourself. I suggest to many of my clients that they stand in front of the mirror every morning and give themselves a compliment. Try it yourself!

Look at your reflection and say something like, “I love you, you beautiful (or handsome) person.” As you interact with others throughout the day, send that love out to others. While this may seem difficult or uncomfortable at first, a true expression of love and caring can change someone else’s day instantly. As we increase our own self-love, we encourage others to love themselves more. So, start a wave of change. Say, “God bless you, I love you,” everyday of 2004 to yourself and others. Let Universal Love replace self-ego this year!
