After an intense 2025, marked by endings, renunciations and painful clarifications for many, 2026 comes with a different energy depending on the peropsnal year: one of initiation, courage and forward movement. It’s the year when life doesn’t ask you to leave something behind, but to start something new.
However, how this energy manifests in your life depends on your personal Year. The Universal Year sets the scene, but the Personal Year tells your story: what is activated, what is required, what is supported, and what needs to be adjusted.
What is the Personal Year and why it matters so much
The personal year is like an energy map for the next 12 months. It shows the dominant theme of the year, the type of lessons you will encounter and the pace at which your life is moving.
Even though we all live in a Universal Year 1, we are not all called to do the same thing. Some start, some build, some finish, and some retreat to a deeper understanding of who they are.
How to calculate your Personal Year for 2026
The Universal Year Number sets the general energy of the year, but the Personal Year Number shows how this energy is uniquely manifested in your life.
To calculate it, add:
birthday + month of birth + 2026
For example, if your birthday is May 11:
11 + 05 + 2026 → 1 + 1 + 0 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 17
1 + 7 = 8
Keep adding the digits of the result until you get a single digit number.
Personal Year 1 in 2026 – Birth, Identity and Courage
If in 2026 you are in a Personal Year 1, you are experiencing one of the strongest moments of identity restart. It’s a year when life tells you clearly: “It’s your turn.”
You feel the urge to start something new, change direction or take on a different role from the past. Compromises made out of fear or habit no longer work. You are driven to take the initiative, even if you don’t have all the answers.
CHINESE Zodiac December 29, 2025 – January 4, 2026. Trust destiny, a karmic week is announced!
This year teaches you to trust your instincts and move forward without guarantees. What you start now is no accident – it becomes the foundation of the next nine years of your life.
Personal Year 2 in 2026 – Relationships, sensitivity and emotional alignment
A Personal Year 2 brings a much gentler but profound energy. In 2026, your focus shifts from action to relationship, from control to cooperation.
It is a year in which you feel your emotions and those of those around you more intensely. Relationships can deepen, but also test, because you can no longer ignore imbalances or unexpressed needs. Lessons in patience, empathy and honest communication emerge.
It is not a year of quick decisions, but of listening. What is being built now takes time, but can become extremely solid.
Personal Year 3 in 2026 – Expression, creativity and joy
If you enter 2026 in a Personal Year 3, life begins to brighten. After more serious or stressful periods, the desire for expression, play and creativity returns.

It is a favorable year for communication, writing, art, new ideas and social connections. You feel the need to say what you think, to create, to be heard. Perfectionism must be put aside – this is not the year when everything has to be flawless, but authentic.
Joy becomes an important indicator: where you feel excitement, there is the right direction.
