Your Personal Year 2026
While everyone experiences Universal Year 1 energy, your Personal Year is calculated from your birth month, birth day, and the current year.
How to Calculate Your Personal Year
Add your birth month + birth day + 2026, then reduce to a single digit.
Example: Birthday March 15
3 (March) + 15 (day) + 2026 = 3+1+5+2+0+2+6 = 19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1
