Set the UILabel frame size to exactly contain the text and center the UILabel in your view.

self.monthLabel.text = @"February";
[self.monthLabel sizeToFit];
self.monthLabel.center = parentView.center; // You may need to adjust the y position

Then set the alignment which should not affect the layout since there will be no extra space.

self.monthLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentLeft;

Next, animate the UILabel frame size so it slides over where you want it.

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
             animations:^{
                  CGRect frame = self.monthLabel.frame;
                  frame.origin.x = 10;
                  self.monthLabel.frame = frame;
             } completion:nil];
