As we look ahead to 2026, numerology offers fascinating perspectives on changes, challenges, and opportunities for personal growth that are on the horizon for us, godly and creaturely humans, as we enter The Year of the Fire Horse.
Numerology year
According to Hong Kong-based certified counselor and award-winning astrologist Letao Wang, 2026 vibrates with the primal, pioneering energy of the number 1.
“In numerology, by reducing the year’s digits (2+0+2+6=10, and 1+0=1), we arrive at this powerful numeral of inception,” Wang tells The Post. “This is not merely a number of start, but of wholeness—the singular point from which all potential emerges. After a cycle of completion, the universe is resetting, offering a clean slate and a compelling call to action.”
What is 2026 the year of?
Wang shared that 2026 is akin to an all-out genesis, “inviting us to plant the seeds for a future we
have the courage to envision.”
In numerology, the number 1 represents beginnings, the confidence of creation, the onset of opportunities, and the point of all embarkation.
As the first digit, 1 contains all of the power and promise of what lies ahead. It carries an independent, proactive force, symbolizing the divine origin of all things.
Wang, founder of The Healing Kingdom and creator of the intuitive oracle card decks Mythic Heroes and Celestial Deities, told The Post, “From a Kabbalistic perspective, the number 1 is profoundly sacred, representing Kether, the Crown—the first emanation on the Tree of Life. Kether is the ultimate unity, the unmanifest potential that contains all of creation. It is pure, undifferentiated light, the divine will to be.”
Numerology predictions
Wang promises that 2026 will be the year when we, as individuals, align with our higher selves and highest purpose.
“It’s a time to connect with our core identity and act from a place of authentic, divine inspiration, rather than external influence. We are being called to channel this supreme consciousness into tangible form. The ancient wisdom of the I-Ching echoes this theme of potent beginnings.”
Wang shared that in the I-Ching, the number 1 is associated with the Creative Principle, embodied by the first hexagram, Qian (乾).
“Qian symbolizes heaven, strength, and persistent, dynamic action. It is the force of the initiator, the dragon rising. In the context of 2026, this energy encourages decisive movement, unwavering focus, and the raw power needed to break new ground. It is a year for leadership, innovation, and forging our path with the unyielding vigor of heaven itself,” Wang said.
No pressure.
What year is 2026?
Wang notes that these numerological themes are mirrored in the astrology of 2026.
“In a stunning synchronicity, both Saturn, the taskmaster of structure and discipline, and Neptune, the planet of dreams and dissolution, will move into Aries—the first sign of the zodiac. This is no coincidence. Aries, ruled by Mars, is the archetypal pioneer, bursting with the pure ‘1’ energy of initiative and selfhood.”
He imparted that Saturn in Aries demands discipline and the formative fire of a new identity, while Neptune in Aries asks us to burn old stories and selves using the ashes to write ourselves into a new way of being.
“2026 is a cosmic convergence. The numerology of new beginnings, the Kabbalistic crown of creation, the I-Ching’s creative force, and the astrological reset in Aries all sing the same chorus: it is time to begin. The universe is handing you the pen. What story will you write?”
