you can animate the FRAME, not the textAlignment.

Do a [UILabel sizeToFit] on your label if you want to get rid of any "padding" on the frame, then you can animate the frame in your animation block to move it around as you desire

CGRect frameLabel = self.monthLabel.frame;

[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5
                 animations:^{
                      frameLabel.origin.x -= 100;          // e.g. move it left by 100
                      self.monthLabel.frame = frameLabel;
                 } completion:nil];
