Personal Year 9 → 1

Your journey from October 2026 to December 2027

If 2026 is your Personal Year 9, the last three months of the year are about gathering in its lessons. Then on 1 January 2027 you step into Personal Year 1. Here is the path, month by month.

2026: Personal Year 9

Completion and release

The final year of the cycle. Finish, forgive and clear space. Endings now make room for the new cycle that follows.

Move with it: Release work: long walks, swimming, stretching out old tension.

2027: Personal Year 1

New beginnings

The first year of a new nine-year cycle. Plant seeds, start fresh and choose a direction. What you begin now sets the tone for the years ahead.

Move with it: Try something new for your body: a class, a sport, a fresh routine.

One transit, one hexagram, one question

A short letter once a month, so you can meet what's coming instead of being caught by it:

  • the transit most worth noticing, with its date
  • a line of I Ching or Tao Te Ching wisdom to meet it with
  • one question to journal on
