2026 Energies

Each year carries a different energy and theme to work with throughout. 2025 was a 9-year, which was all about ending cycles, drawing things to a close, and releasing things that no longer serve you.

In numerology, numbers 0-9 hold different energies and meanings, and we can work with those energies for transformation. They offer us a connection to source energy, working with our subconscious or right side of the brain for upgrading, healing, and change. Our left, logical side doesn't have to understand for us to work with them and make a difference.

2026 holds an exciting opportunity for us all. This year will be a 1-year. How do we get there? Well, numerology is reductive, so first we add the individual numbers: 2+0+2+6=10.

Then we take that and add the two together: 1+0=1

2026 Energies: A 1 Year:

The energies of the number 1 are all about new beginnings, power, confidence, and action. This year is a time for ambition, awakening, and taking control of your future. It is a huge opportunity for you to get clear on what it is your soul truly desires, and then get to work on making it happen.

The number one is a masculine number, which means taking action is an important aspect of the year. It is a chance for you to be open to opportunities and create new opportunities for your better self.

It is a year to overcome roadblocks, to find your inner power and confidence, trust in your own decisions, skills and abilities, and use them to shoot for the stars and achieve your dreams.

In 2026, anything is possible, as long as you are willing to work to achieve it. There are no limits to what you can achieve, just make sure it is for your highest good. This year, you make your own luck; the possibilities are unlimited as long as you are proactive and face any challenges head-on.

Possible Challenges:

While the energies of 1 are quite exciting, and likely what we all need after a nine year, there are some aspects to be mindful of throughout the year. As with everything, there are two sides.

Firstly, be conscious of how you are coming across. Yes, this year is about setting goals and working towards achieving them, but sometimes we can come across as forceful and uncaring in the pursuit of achieving.

We can also find it difficult not to receive results immediately, but patience and timing are key, and sometimes they are out of our hands. This can be an opportunity and a lesson to practice patience.

It can also be difficult to be open to help and support from others; we can end up stuck in a loop of trying to do everything ourselves, which isn't possible and can lead to burnout. Consider delegating where possible, or if help would benefit you.

Lastly, with passion and drive can come self-doubt. Our left logical side of the brain (monkey mind), likes routine and knowing, and can have a habit of liking us to stay as we are, even if we're not happy. It likes to tell us things are impossible, unachievable, or talk us out of change. It can trick us into letting fear hold us back, especially if we don't know how to achieve what we want.

But that is the magic of the unknown; anything is possible, and we don't always have to know how or when. Opportunities we have never imagined can appear if we can just learn to be comfortable with the unknown. This takes patience and practice, but I am yet to meet anyone who has had things work out exactly as they planned, and personally, some of the best things that have happened to me have been when I have let go of control and seen what can happen.

Learning to control the monkey mind and challenge the doubt it throws at you is a very powerful tool. Sometimes it can be as simple as flipping the narrative; instead of thinking 'how can I achieve this?' or 'this is impossible, it will never work', challenge it and ask 'but what if it does work out?' or 'what if this works out better than I think it could?'

Crystals for 2026:

The final thing we'll look at for 2026, are crystals, which can help support and navigate the energies. As always, we recommend you work with the crystals you are drawn to for the best outcome, but if you need some additional guidance, then here are three crystals I recommend for 2026:

Yooperlite

First up is Yooperlite, or Fire Stone. It gets its second name from being UV reactive and having flashes of intense red and orange under the light. It looks generally quite mundane and unbiqituous until you have your UV light on it, but it is mighty to work with.

Not only is it a fantastic grounded and guided crystal, it also has a strong action aspect to it. This is perfect for not only working with your guidance and intuition to connect and identify your soul's desires, but it also helps you to ground them into this reality and get to work achieving them.

Sunstone

A stone of action, logic, hard work, creative problem solving, and everything that the number 1 encompasses. It really is a stone aligned with the energies of 2026 and would be a fantastic mineral to work with during the year.

Ocean Jasper

A curveball crystal, but when I was writing this, it was screaming at me to be involved. So the final crystal is Ocean Jasper. It is a versatile crystal that helps you to overcome your limiting beliefs and denser aspects of yourself by encouraging you to release them and let them go.

It has a calming aspect; if you think of the tides flowing, it ebbs and flows, much like our energies. They change and transform, and this crystal can help us do just that. It reminds us that everything is temporary and we can keep going with the flow, changing and adapting.

It can help with facing our monkey mind, releasing control, embracing the unknown, and learning to trust that things will work out as they need to.

Bonus Crystal- Labradorite:

I felt it would be lacking to not mention this crystal. It is all about new beginnings, a light at the end of the tunnel, starting afresh, and learning to believe in the magic of the everyday. It aligns perfectly with setting intentions, being comfortable with not knowing how things will work out, and as a reminder to be present and enjoy/appreciate the small things.

2026 presents lots of exciting opportunities that can support us on the next 9-year cycle if we are conscious and open to them. While action is needed, don't forget to take time to enjoy this journey. We all need more joy, and the journey is part of the experience. Don't get too wrapped up in the details and work that you forget to enjoy yourself this year ahead.
