Happy New Year! I got curious about 2026 numerology,
or the supposed meaning of the number 2026. I apologize for two New Year posts in a row, but it’s my favorite holiday, and this year, I’m especially excited about a fresh start! And here’s what I learned…
In numerology, the meaning of 2026 is literally a fresh start.
If you think numerology is nonsense, I won’t argue with you. I’m not talking about science here. I’m just always fascinated by symbols and systems, and I think they are valuable if they serve your mental state or your goals.
Here’s how it works!
To figure out the “universal number” for any year, you add up all the digits…and then add them again…until you have nothing left to add. For 2026, it looks like this:
2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10. Then 1 + 0 = 1.
So the universal number for 2026 is 1. And if you’re into numerology, here’s what 1 means.
•fresh starts and new beginnings
•“the road less traveled”…or blazing your own trail
•being a leader…or just taking more charge of your own life
•a higher chance of achieving your goals…but courage and confidence may be required
Like a lot of people, I associate fresh starts and achieving goals with every new year, so this sounds like an extra dose of new year energy.
This idea of 2026 being a fresh start goes along with what a longtime reader, Sonia, told me yesterday about another system of symbols. She wrote, “We are leaving the Year of the Snake, shedding our old ideals and those things that don’t fit, closing a cycle, becoming freer. Moving into the Year of the Horse, we will move with more purpose, more energy, surging forward as does a horse when turned into a meadow to be free to romp at will.”
I love how she put that!
In terms of numerology, 2026 the beginning of a perfect nine-year cycle.
Here’s the rest of the cycle, if you’re curious! But if thinking this far into the future gives you anxiety, skip over this!
2027 – universal number 2 – harmony, partnerships, and personal connections
2028 – universal number 3 – communication, self-expression, and creativity
2029 – universal number 4 – practicality, stability, structure, and physical comforts
2030 – universal number 5 – freedom, innovation, and change
2031 – universal number 6 – family and responsibility to others
2032 – universal number 7 – spirituality and introspection
2033 – universal number 8 – achievement, ambition, and abundance
2034 – universal number 9 – completion and wisdom
Are you doing anything to ring in 2026?
We are just going to a late dinner. When we are home on New Year’s, we always go outside at midnight to cheer and drink a toast to the new year, and then we take our dogs on a short New Year walk.
No matter how you feel, I hope it’s a good year for you…maybe even your best year yet.
Thank you for reading! I appreciate you!
