Calculate your Personal Year for 2026
What kind of year will 2026 be for you? Where is your energy best channelled? The answer could be in your personal year number, writes Christchurch numerologist Rosina Bond.
Were you exhausted by the end of 2025? Many people were coping on the surface while quietly running on empty. As we move into 2026, there’s a genuine desire for renewed energy, clarity, and a sense of hope as we step into the first year of a nine-year cycle.
Numerology is a powerful strategy tool. Each year carries a different rhythm, and when you understand that rhythm, you stop forcing life and start working with it. Your energy doesn’t disappear; it shifts. Numerology reveals where your energy is best placed and how to use it more wisely. This is known as your ‘personal year’. It doesn’t predict events; it shows where your energy wants to go and how to move forward with greater clarity.
To calculate your personal year for 2026, add together your day of birth, your month of birth, then add 1 to step into 2026 (the one is the number we get from breaking 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 down to a single digit). For example: For someone born on 16 April, the calculation is: 1 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 12 g 1 + 2 = 3
Numerology always reduces numbers to a single digit between 1 and 9 (the exception is usally master numbers of 11 and 22 but this does not happen with personal years). In this example, we read the explanation for personal year 3.
Personal year 1: Reset
You have just completed the biggest nine-year cycle of your life, and the last year was a lot. This year is a full reset. Begin with your physical health and energy, then rebalance your emotions. Everything else you already know how to do. The real question for 2026 is what now feels most true for you.
Personal year 2: Healing and reconnection
2025 was hard, particularly around work and money, and you may feel burnt out or guarded. 2026 offers more promise and deeper connection. Release the pain and trust yourself again, you can reach your goals. This year requires trust, and it’s time to back yourself.
Personal year 3: Truth and attraction
Last year was fast, and any disconnection may have come through lack or unclear direction. Now, you are promised success in what you choose to focus on, a genuine spiritual initiation. What does that truly mean for you? Get clear and commit, because this is how real power is attracted.
Personal year 4: Momentum and money
Clarity and structure support you now. The brakes are off, but good decisions matter. Consider your bigger money picture, get clear, take action, and allow yourself to enjoy the process. Consistent effort creates momentum and financial traction. Think bigger.
Personal year 5: Mental mastery
Overthinking will drain and block your energy. Decide what is truly important and bring your intentions into alignment. It is your inner world that opens doors in the outer world, when your mind and inner life are aligned, attraction follows naturally and balance begins.
Personal year 6: Let go
Last year may not have come together as expected; it marked a turning point. Where your money goes, your power follows. Make choices that support you, not drain you. Work is a key driver for success, so dive deep.
Personal year 7: Rebuild bigger
What you feel, you receive. Your vision matters, and your bigger picture is important now. Worry only limits your ability to grow. What you give your attention to expands. Trust your vision, release outside pressure, and allow yourself the support you need to move forward.
Personal year 8: Action and abundance
Money is energy, and there is much on offer this year. Go after what you truly want. If it feeds your soul, the returns will be far greater. Trust your instincts and avoid anything that feels too good to be true. This is a high-energy year – strengthen yourself and be ready for opportunity.
Personal year 9: Vision and completion
This is a double completion point, and one of the biggest turning points. Both 2025 and 2026 are closing chapters, and your dreams may feel closer because they are leading you into what’s next. The inner battle must be quietened, as it blocks growth and attraction. Let go, so the new can arrive.
