According to Numerology, January 2026 is a 2 Universal Month (1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2).

January promises to be a cycle of personal growth and expansion into our relationships. This can be a tricky line to walk, so be sure to take out as much time as you need for self-care.

Months ruled by the number 2 can bring radical self-realization, which means you can expect to learn a lot about yourself over the next 4 weeks. This will most likely happen through the challenges you face, so remember to greet every situation as though you had chosen it. Ask yourself:

• What is the best possible outcome here?
• How can I express the best version of myself?

Through the trials that may or may not come during this month, the projects and plans you got off the ground last month continue their momentum. Resist telling yourself that the problems you encounter are reasons to give up! Instead, consider calling in an extra pair of hands -- or four or five! January's energy favors collaboration, partnership, and quite a lot of give-and-take. Give others your time and your attention this month. Listen to their stories and open your heart to their perspectives. They too will offer you the same in return.

With intuitive hits and supernatural downloads set to soar over the next calendar month, make plenty of time for meditation or whatever spiritual practice you have. And if you don't have any ... well, this is a great time to start!

This is the collective energy that January 2026 carries.

How to Calculate your Personal Month number

To calculate your Personal Month number, you'll need to do a little simple math.

Step 1: Add the individual digits of your birth month and day. For example, if you were born on April 26, add 4 + 2 + 6 = 12.

Step 2: Add previous sum to the digits of the current year. For example, if you were calculating this answer in 1995, add 12 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 36.

Step 3: Reduce the previous sum to a single digit if needed. For example, 3 + 6 = 9.

Step 4: Add sum to current calendar month number. For example, if you were calculating this answer in May, add 9 + 5 = 14.

Step 5: Reduce the previous sum to a single digit if needed. For example, 1 + 4 = 9. The person in this example is experiencing a personal 9 month.

Personal Month 1

Ready for a fresh start?

For you, this is a month to start something different and take a bold step in a new direction.

This doesn't have to be a total life U-turn, but you do need to be honest with yourself about what you've been avoiding. The Numerology of the 1 is moving through your life strongly this month, so it's your chance to be brave.

Take baby steps if you need to! Make that call. Send that email. Apply for that position.

Nobody will believe in you until YOU start believing in you! Prove your worth to yourself first this month. Independence is worth cultivating, so if you're someone who normally needs a lot of reassurance or works as part of a team, try trusting your instincts a little more. By the time the month is through, you could be a completely new person!

You may find yourself in a position where you're being called into leadership over the next few weeks. Don't shy away from it! Others need what you have to offer -- and the 1 has your back.

Personal Month 2

The influence of the number 2 means that you'll probably be feeling a little more sensitive than usual this month.

Numerologists regard the 2 as a psychic number, as it tends to encourage deep and strong connections to your inner voice and to the other people in your life.

In contrast to the independence you likely felt last month, in the coming weeks, you will need others around. Relationships will take your focus, so deepen the ones you have and don't shy away from forming new ones.

You'll feel altogether happier if you've got someone to talk to openly, and you could be inclined to take that role for somebody else as well. Whether it's your relationship partner of 40 years or the stranger at the bus stop, make the effort to slow down for a moment and start that meaningful conversation.

Personal Month 3

Are you ready?! This is your yearly high point on the fun-o-meter, as the influence of the number 3 ripples throughout your month!

The 3 usually brings a welcome wave of light-heartedness, as it's hard to stay serious when the number of the child shows up.

You might feel the need to take center stage during a 3 personal month. You'll be less likely to shy away from attention -- and more eager to speak your mind.

Look for ways to let your creative side loose. Maybe you've always wanted to take up salsa dancing? Or make your own clothes? With so many online classes available now, there's no excuse not to indulge your artistic urges, and the energy of the 3 will give you a numerological leg up in whatever you choose!

Make sure to partake in social engagements this month. Your natural charm levels are through the roof, so this is the ideal time for a party. Or three. The numbers don't lie!

Personal Month 4

Phew ... after the fun and games of last month, it’s time to root down and get to work.

Your personal energies align to make this an ideal time to instill a little structure

So, what's your game plan this month? What do you want to achieve, and how are you going to get there?

In Numerology, the number 4 loves to get organized, so the less you leave to chance this month, the better. But this cycle isn’t all about planning! You must get practical and take real, tangible steps. Don't just sit around talking about the things you need to do -- get out there and get to work.

For some, the Numerology of the 4 can also align strongly with money and wealth, so if you're able to get strategic, this month looks to be a profitable one (hooray!). Work slowly and steadily and you could well win that race!

Try not to get locked in to looking at the details, however. When too much work and responsibility seem to fall into a number 4 Personal Month, it can all become too much, and you may feel like the sky is crashing down.

Keep your gaze up and your perspective wide. Just don’t forget to squeeze a little downtime into that hearty work schedule of yours.

Personal Month 5

Time to stretch those wings!

The Numerology of the 5 brings a frequency of exploration and adventure, and it won't take much for you to feel restless this month. It’s important to find plenty of ways to have fresh experiences. The edge of your comfort zone is where you should begin!

The 5 also brings opportunity. You’re halfway through the year’s cycle, and this is a great time for any course correction as you look to the future. After the hard work of last month, what would you like to carry forward? And what is it time to leave behind?

While this number's energy is all about spontaneity and freedom, it's still wise to think carefully about where the cracks in your life are appearing. It's time to patch them up or make a change and start again. Your choice.

This is also an ideal month for you to tend to your physical health. The 5 is the number of the body. How are you treating yours? Anything you can do to boost your vitality will be supported by this numerological energy, so make it count.

Personal Month 6

The Numerology of this month brings an increase in responsibility for you, likely involving friends, family, or caring duties. Your energy will expand too, so this is nothing to feel daunted by! The 6 tends to carry a compassionate and loving vibration, so being the rock for others to rely on will feel natural.

However, be careful not to over-give and, in turn, neglect your own needs.

When a 6 Personal Month arrives, there can be a tendency to shoulder too much responsibility and start expressing martyr-like tendencies. There may be times over the coming weeks when you realize that it's possible to do too much for others!

Fill your own cup first -- and offer love only when it overflows.

If you're on the lookout for romance, then this could be your lucky month. The 6 will be honing your gaze toward all the"right things, so anyone who catches your eye could be a keeper!

If you're already coupled up, then dive into your relationship. This is a great time to deepen your intimacy and reach greater levels of understanding.

Personal Month 7

Solitude, quietude, and a whole lot of space are likely the things you're seeking out this month.

The energy of the 7 tends to be introverted, so if there's too much hustle and bustle around you (even if it’s just the day-to-day activities of a busy household), you may feel like you’re walking uphill and fighting against gravity.

Try to let a few appointments go. Don't force yourself to attend every social engagement. This is a valuable monthly window for soul searching, so give yourself the gift of a little time-out.

Yes, this may feel counterintuitive, especially if you've got a busy work schedule or social life, but the 7 comes as an important signifier in Numerology that there's some internal processing you need to do. It's an important time, so resist rushing through your days.

A regular journaling practice to sort through your thoughts could be valuable this month. Spiritual exploration can help you delve into the deeper questions that will likely arise.

Release any notions that you should be “making progress” or achieving more than you are. Trust that you are in the right place at the right time. There's no need to yearn for more.

Personal Month 8

This month brings a time of self-empowerment and realization.

The energy of the 8 is a strong vibration to carry you through the month, so use it wisely. Under the influence of this number of flow and balance, you're being called to understand the power that you hold -- and rethink how you express it in the world.

For most people, there’s a focus on work and career in an 8 Personal Month. You may confront some uncertainties. How much value are you contributing? Is your work aligned with your values? Is the power you wield a force for good?

These are big questions, and the 8 is urging you to answer them.

If you're channeling your power honestly and wisely, then you can expect favorable financial rewards to roll in. Most numerologists associate this number with money, and there's a lot of potential this month for you to make some!

Don't be afraid to take a risk or make an investment. Put yourself out there (with principles upheld), and you could be handsomely rewarded.

Personal Month 9

This is an important month of closure and change.

When the 9 appears in Numerology, it marks the end of a cycle, a time to say goodbye.

Can you tell what’s coming to its natural conclusion? Perhaps it’s something you’ve been anticipating. On the other hand, it could be a total surprise. You may be asked to release something that matters greatly to you.

Above all, the 9 asks for grace and forgiveness. This month will likely bring healing energy too, so it's important that you offer yourself kindness and compassion, even in tricky circumstances.

Endings can be scary, yet with every ending comes a new beginning! The future is waiting for you, so use this time to create space in your life for what is to come. Without embracing the meaning of this important month, you'll find it difficult to grow and evolve. Trust the unknown!

You may find it soothing to offer your time and energy to a charitable cause this month. Working alongside others can be especially enlightening, so consider volunteering or uniting with a community you believe in.
