It’s that time of year! As we prepare to welcome 2024, we’re turning to ancient practices like astrology, tarot and numerology for guidance on what’s to come. Interestingly, they always seem to align when it comes to the energy of their message — and 2024 is no exception.
According to numerology – a mystical science that works on the belief that every single digit carries a certain vibration – 2024 will be an incredibly powerful year. Numerology is a very simple system with a deep meaning: To get the numerology of 2024, what we also call the number of the World Year, we add the four digits of the year to a single digit. In the case of 2024 (2+0+2+4), we end up with an eight, which is, thankfully, great news for all of us.
Last year, 2023 was seven years. We experienced slow personal growth due to the number seven being associated with curiosity, analysis and spirituality. Wise but tough, the number seven is always about turning inward and digging deep to find the gold we seek. The number 8 then takes all the wisdom gained and turns it into success, power and authenticity. “The numerology of 2024 tells us that this will be a year of material and spiritual focus,” he says Jasmin Alejandrez-Prasad, a numerologist also known as Esoteric Esa. “It is a series of leadership, prosperity and success. In many spiritual spaces, the eight also represents the symbol of infinity, which asks us to complete karma instead of constantly repeating cycles.’
The number eight revolves continuously, representing eternity and the final point of manifestation. Just to give you an idea of the vibrations of this number, in ancient Chinese cosmology, eight represents the totality of the universe. For the Egyptians, eight was the number of balance and cosmic order. In tarot, this number sits diagonally across the top of The Magician card, which is the first card of the Major Arcana, representing new beginnings and opportunities. Archetypal, the Magician connects us to the personal power we have to change what is into what we truly desire something to be. It is a card of magic, manifestation and inspired action. Whenever this tarot card appears in a reading, the message is: “You have what it takes to make things happen — so go ahead!”
So how can we all make the most of that sweet number eight? “To get the most out of 2024 numerology, we need to recognize the loops we repeatedly create in our reality as they relate to ego consciousness and not who we really are,” says Alejandrez-Prasad. Patrick Phillips, writer at Numerology.com, affirms that the number eight vibration can help us overcome impostor syndrome by speaking, listening and appearing authentically, just as we are. Being associated with both spiritual and material meanings, the number eight also comes to remind us of the importance of being comfortable with success and enjoying the fruits of our labor.
As for our career path, Alejandrez-Prasad asserts that “we will witness a small business and an entrepreneurial boom as the energy of the eight inspires us to make our own destiny and take risks. Giving us discretion and empowerment, a year of eight governments is always a great time to start a business or explore investment opportunities.” So if you’ve ever wanted to start a company or launch your own brand, 2024 could be your year to make it happen.
Love is another area that will benefit from the numerology of 2024. “There will be an emphasis on soulmate connections that will finally come together because the 8 brings the twin flame energy of the infinity symbol,” says Alejandrez-Prasad. “For singles, we’re going to see a rise in healthy self-confidence and people aligning themselves with relationships that match their soul work based on the healing they’ve done.” However, the empowering, matter-of-fact vibes of the number eight could be a little more challenging for those who are already paired. “For those in a relationship, it could be a testing time to identify the strengths of your connection and allow for growth in areas that are heavily dependent on materialism,” she adds.
Finally, the number eight carries feminine shoulder energy imprints, which is found in all of us regardless of our gender or sexual orientation. Harnessing the powers of this number means being more compassionate and in touch with our sensual and creative side. This type of goddess power energy is strong and persistent but soft, grounded and receptive at the same time. Honestly, 2024 numerology is exactly what the world and many of us need right now!
