At the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2002 the world enters into the year of the 4. This number is derived numerologically by adding all the numbers in 2002. Whatever year you add up, the resulting sum and its symbolism predominates during that year.

In astrology the number 4 is associated with Uranus. Uranus represents technology, science, inventions, freedom, revelations, rebellion, collectivity and fluctuations. During 2002 the universal mindset will operate on the Uranian vibration. This will be a year of groups vying for predominance and recognition. Technology, science and astrology will be scrutinized. Social activism will experience a revival. The free-spirited and eccentric personality will be revered.

This year is important for the United States because the number 4 has been historically significant for this country. Not only was America born on a 4 day but also the first president was born on the 22nd. Initially the U.S. was composed of 13 states. A U.S. presidential term consists of four years.* No doubt this year will be a roller coaster ride for the U.S and other countries with a dominant 4 such as South Africa, Spain, Burma and Germany. Cities that will be newsmakers this year are Richmond, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City and Dayton. People, countries, cities and companies whose names or birthdays add up to number 4 will experience 2002 as an eventful year.
