2026: A Year Of Adjustment And Of Implementation Of Changes
by Filipa Costa
Happy New Year, may 2026 bring you many blessings, health, and joy! In this episode, I give my interpretation for the year and put it in the context of the decade. 2026 continues the start of a new 9‑year cycle, reducing to the number 1. The double 2 amplifies intuition, emotion, and polarity, encouraging personal growth but also risking emotional volatility and impulsive reactions. The 0 serves as a spiritual backdrop, emphasizing the unseen and non‑material aspects of life. The 6 brings a powerful creative/destructive duality with opportunities to build new projects, relationships, and healing practices, or to dismantle stagnant, unhealthy patterns. Key takeaways: use meditation and grounding to stay centred amid heightened emotions; harness the creative surge of 6 to launch or refine healing work, while letting go of what no longer serves you; lead with compassion by pairing the year’s drive (1) with the six’s responsibility to avoid impulsive or overly aggressive moves.

I hope you have been having a lovely time this holiday season.
So let's dive in today's topic which are the numerological energies for the year 2026 and this is based on the Pythagorean numerology of the nine-year cycles and I will give you my interpretation of these energies.
Firstly I'd like to mention that there's an energy transition period and it's about two months before and two months after the transition day so the 31st to the 1st.
So this means that during January and February you shouldn't completely discard the energies from 2025 and the energy of the nine because they haven't completely dissipated yet.
So now with the 1st of January we will have both energies of 2025 and 2026 present where the latter is waxing and the former is waning and it's usually complete by mid-February and February it depends but that's usually around the time that the last year's energy is completely gone and it's the full establishment of the numerological energy of the current year.
Okay looking at the numbers that compose this new year we have a double 2 and 6 thus we have two identical sole plane numbers and the mind number respectively which birth the number 1 so this is the year number 1.
So the major hallmark since the year 2000 is the constant present of at least 1 0 and 1 2.
The energy of the number 2 belongs to the feeling intuition and spiritual planes of existence and expression.
The 0 is not a number in Pythagorean numerology it's a symbol it basically refers to spirituality and to all that exists and doesn't exist that cannot be manifested or cannot have a form and shape into the physical plane or in other words in our 3d worlds in the world of the matter is something that is always within the spiritual realm and with these two bits of information you might just make sense of the massive shift from the 1900s to the 2000s.
We had a shift from the physical and mind plane energies of the 1 and the 9 especially as we approach the end of the 20th century the energy of the mind plane number 9 grew stronger and stronger up to the 1999 making the sudden shift to no mind plane energy at all into the 2000s going into a full 2 and 0 energy that are about going deep into our intuition and spirituality.
On a numerological energy level that's why since the year 2000 many people have started to have awakenings not just about spirituality but also about interpersonal dynamics where many things that were not spoken of and were sort of turned a blind eye are now being spoken about and coming to light for example the different forms and types of abuse as well as there have been many spiritual awakenings especially where we see that spirituality is no longer being equated to religion in many parts of the collective and is gradually becoming more accepted people are more open to it even those who are not really engaged in it so there's less taboo and although there's still a lot there's actually less prejudice towards spiritual practices in general and of course all of these types of awakenings where we are turning more and more into our own soul's wishes and missions accepting spirituality and not wanting to be in detrimental and negative relationships whether personal or at work in jobs businesses all of these it has been having consequences in the physical plane small changes sometimes minute with a lot a lot of resistance but it has been happening and it will continue to happen regarding more specifically the energy of the two one of the aspects of the energy of the number two is the energy of dichotomy and of polarization and this is also something that has been a major thing since the 2000s and especially in this decade where we have the double energy with double to the double to is heightening too many things one is the sense of intuition and the other is the sense of emotions and feelings in essence this decade is about a heightened sense of intuition and of feeling emotions this energy is very good to support our spiritual and emotional growth but these requires that we actually follow this energy so that we actually go forward with healing ourselves on all aspects so the spiritual the emotional the psychological and even the physical it is encompassed here and then of course this is tied up with an awakening sense of self-care taking care of the self and own needs as much as taking care of others so this decade favors changes and things that elevate our emotional and spiritual well-being and they tend to have a lot of incidents in intra and interpersonal relationships it is about our relationship with ourselves family past selves work relationships intimate personal relationships all of that so it could be a decade where there's a rearrangement in dynamics of relationships for example how the lockdowns during Colvin changed perception about having to go into an office and many seeing that it did not benefit them personally nor their work to go every day into the office I'm not saying that the changes that for positive remain afterwards because those depend on variables that are not dependent on the individual but just to give an example of something that happened right in 2020 and it involved changing habits in a way that allowed the person to see what works and what didn't work for themselves and changing the daily routine and finding more balance for themselves is an example of this kind of intra and consequently interpersonal relationships that the double to energy is about one of the aspects of it the other aspect of the double to energy is the heightened dichotomy and polarization and because of what the energy of the two represents polarization and even dichotomy in many cases they're mostly driven by feelings and emotions so one of the main things that is likely to particularly characterize the decade is again a reshape in relationships where for example one of the parties has some form of personal development or awakening may be or may not be spiritual but it's personal and because of that it just cannot accept certain negative or less good dynamics in a relationship because in essence everything is made of relationships our relationship with ourselves with our close ones with acquaintances friends work business partners so in this decade we should look back and see that we had changes on a collective scale in how people want to continue working how people want to continue doing business and being in the world with their family within society and so on for example on a collective scale things this decade tend to polarize a lot and very fast in a way that is driven by moral principles and the right and wrong of situations and conducts where people very strongly show their support to a weak party or to a victim party or to an abused party so they side immediately with someone who is was in a less powerful position and was somehow taken advantage of in detriment of a strong even an antagonism against the repressor or the abuser and still a bit on this topic there's also a higher natural intuition for those who are more in line with the natural energies that are circulating and this also sort of plays out here it is not just helping out spiritual and personal development but it's also assisting in these discrimination between people in situations which in part it is also promoting quicker and faster intense response of being either against or in favor of something or of someone so this is also contributing in a way to this strong intense and quick polarization that the collective is demonstrating however there's always the negative expression and with the double to energy it's usually about high emotional instability lots of emotional confusion huge hypersensitivity lots of emotional outbursts on a collective negative expression this decade is likely to be marked by these types of behaviors on an individual level these behaviors tend to to lead to lots of conflict and drama so instead of finding their balance in relationships during the 10 years of this double to energy they find or create themselves the opposite the conflict and the negativity in the relationships another negative aspect of this double to is impulsivity not thinking just jumping with both feet because people are following their instinctive nature and when this instinct is not aligned is not centered is not in the light or is not with good intention so it has some sort of malice behind it then impulsive things tend to happen with this type of double to energy so these are the energies that have been present for us and will continue to be present whatever happens now which in this case we will go from a five to a six energy and we will go from a nine year to a year one energy it has to be taken in context with these energies that i've just mentioned of the zero of the two and of the double two with within this decade so let's move on to the number six six is the number of creativity and thus its opposing pole which is of destruction most often than not so unless there are certain factors and circumstances that really affect and even interfere with the outcome using the energy of creativity to birth and create or destroy and cause harm and chaos is really about choice so it's a choice that we make this choice can be conscious or not can be knowingly or unknowingly it can be determined by our heightened untamed uncontrolled emotions or incorrect beliefs but ultimately it is a choice so here embedded is responsibility and accountability these are two things that are very needed when there's the energy of the six so let's look at the context of the energies that we have we have a polarizing feeling driven double to energy with a creation destruction energy of the six where the line that separates creation which here is always with a connotation versus destruction is our choices thoughts and behaviors basically this year immediately calls for awareness and calm and consideration in anything that we choose to do or to move forwards and this can be a challenge because the negative expression of the two can be that of impatience and impulsivity and when there's too much emotional energy behind it that is not in the light that are not being processed so they are an emotional energy that is being manifested in an uncontrollable way with these energies of creation of the six the negative outcome can be very devastating the six is a number of extremes the positive is very positive is really like the the highest positive that you can imagine but the negative is very negative it's extremes and intensity as well everything is lived with a lot of intensity whether the good or the bad when in the positive expression when there's awareness calm consideration sense of responsibility processing of emotions centering intuition and all that there's balance in life with the six and this balance especially in personal relationships there's a real possibility for reconciliations to bring harmony between parties and to restore a sense of harmony in any type of relationships it has peacemaker vibration it's about being responsible in the sense of taking positions of responsibility and accountability but in a good way it's not about taking responsibility for what it's not ours it's really about embodying being sort of in charge of our destiny and of our lives because we are able to be responsible for our choices on the other hand the negative expressions with the energy of the six tend to be dominated by lots of stress and anxiety lots of worry people just worry too much with this energy also gossip and even slander are things that are typical of negative expressions of the six energy and being a massive people pleaser so if you have tendencies to be people pleaser yeah do watch out this year so if the energies of the two are not balanced already then with the entrance of the energy of the six this could be a form of destruction in some cases like hitting a rock bottom or losing a long-standing steady job or a personal relationship it can bring deep levels of depression and anxiety but the good outcomes are really really positive and they are long lasting again this is a this is a number of extremes and of intensity so this year this is for all of us what we need is a lot of any type of meditation that you like just choose a lot of time to be able to relax and be grounded and present and centered time for self-reflection and self-awareness dedicate time and energy to work on your own healing whatever is the type of healing that you need another aspect of the energy of the six that i would like to mention is the six is the number of the mother energy it's the number of the home and family even if not really in in familiar relations it's the energy is associated with close relationships and personal relationships so this means that all of this will be more highlighted and more in the limelight for all of us this year now overall to me i feel that there is an energy of expansion and growth in the six in fact the six is what you can call the engine of evolution and the essence of nature in terms of its creative and destructive forces the six likes to birth new things likes to save things from destruction it likes to see growth and evolution and development so if something is stagnant it will create issues in a six vibration because of this it's possible that certain things that have been stagnant or that have been forgotten in the back of our minds or that were stagnant to the point that people thought that it was stable and fixed and nothing could change them or so stagnant that you didn't even remember that something existed well the six is the energy that resurfaces and shakes everything that is stagnant and that it is time to come out so we can expect any form of stagnant issues to be brought to our attention as a means to resolve the issues to find a resolution remember that the six holds the an energy of balance and harmony and it strives for that related to this the six has no problems in just ending or destroying something that is not right to rebirth something better or to just simply finish it forever because it wasn't right the extreme and the intensity the energy of the six has really zero problems in just ending something that was considered long-standing and saved and just ended abruptly if that's what the person or a collective that is under a strong influence of the six wants and perceives as the thing that it is right to do or the thing that they wish to do then it's something that tends to just happen and creates a lot of chaos so under this energy i would not be surprised also that many things would not only come to the surface but that they could also come to sudden endings very big shakes in their structure in a very abrupt manner perhaps even a little bit in a violent way what you could call so the other thing here is that the the energy of the six is good to be complemented with a good dose of diplomacy of care of consideration and even of proper planning these are things as to be mindful during this year the last aspect of the six that i'd like to point out is that we may see people searching for the truth searching for completion of something searching for a closure i think this this aspect of the six will likely be related with what i mentioned about stagnant things being resurfaced or being shaken in order to awaken people to the truth or truths to give people the opportunity to search for the truth in order to find closure and therefore bring the balance and the harmony back into the picture all right so finally let's see what is the year number one which is what the reduction of 2026 gives us to understand the one in a nutshell we need to understand the nine so when we analyze a nine-year life period in Pythagorean numerology it's common to begin the analysis with the year nine so for example in my monthly readings of the energies that i do when i bring in the specific messages for each personal year number i go from one to nine because it's the most intuitive thing but actually in terms of analysis this is not intuitive we start with the year nine and this is because the year one has a doing energy an active energy on the physical plane that is aimed to follow through with the changes and adjustments from the year nine and this is why we begin with the nine because the nine begins the changes and the one sort of finishes them up and implements them so this is the first point here is that this year 2026 is a year one which is also a year of change like the nine so many changes that happened during 2025 or were sort of being cooked during a year nine in general only have space to take place and become tangible and effective during the year one in essence this is a year of adjustment and thus the changes come from the integration and adjustment of energies and things that have been initiated in the year before even if we didn't really notice these changes if even if we didn't actually notice that those changes were happening to culminate on something that will take shape and be brought to sort of being brought to life in the year one so this year 2026 generally speaking 2026 is about material changes visible changes tangible actions in the collective and this coupled with the six energy it does promise to be a very active doing number because the mental energy of creation of the six supports the formation of changes during the nine into action during this year one in fact they marry quite well because whilst the six is that of creation energy the one is the creative expression number it is the expression of our divinity in a higher sense in this world it is our physical expression towards the outside world so they really marry very well these two numbers other themes for this year under the influence of the year one are the themes of leadership and ambition with an underlying drive for determined action so this year is great for the collective to create and to put that into practice and into tangible results and this is not only the changes that are still coming through 2025 but actual new things new decisions new projects new alliances new world charitable foundations new rules for economic growth whatever it doesn't have to be tied up exclusively with the previous year because we have these energies of ambition of leadership of action it can birth new things especially because it's being supported by the energy of the six although most actions and search for action will mostly have to do with events in 2025 on the negative side the energy of the one can be overly ambitious and even aggressive sometimes in its way of expression it can use brute force to achieve what it wants it's not a very diplomatic energy though it can seem like it because the rhetoric and the words and the sentences all may make sense and seem very right because this is one of the aspects of the one in a nutshell the combination of all these energies on a negative expression indicate that it's possible to come through as acts of brutality and aggression where there's even a tone of irrationality behind them where the means justify the ends this sort of Machiavellian speech and thought forms therefore i'd say that this year we should all be very cautious regarding what we hear the type of speech and rhetoric that we we hear especially around things that we should do a because b is in danger or b is a danger or something is important for something this this sort of we should be careful with forms of persuasion through speech that can easily touch on our moral principles and feelings because we have a double to energy so it's easier to be emotionally impulsive and a lot of the type of persuasion with the energies of the one is really through forms of speech and communication this is typical with the one energy but the implementation when this is in the negative expression tends to be by brute force like not even considering the consequences in the whole picture in this sense the energy of the six if well harnessed can help because it has an energy of being a visionary of looking at the whole picture of analyzing consequences it helps to find balance between two forces but if not well harnessed then well it can push people to extreme decisions it's the type of decisions that people tend to make with an imbalanced six energy all right i have spoken quite a lot and i think i will stop here because i've think i've pretty much said everything that i i think it is important to say and to share i hope you enjoyed listening to this episode and i hope that this was somehow enlightening and even perhaps entertaining that you've been able to to take something useful with you and if you like it please share with others i am very grateful to having you here i'll say goodbye now and i wish you a fantastic 2026
