The Unluckiest Number Is...

Numerology is a fascinating ancient practice that explores the mysterious meanings behind numbers and how they shape our lives. It examines your name and birth date to reveal cool insights about your personality, life journey, and the things you might face along the way. Exploring these connections helps you understand yourself better and empowers you to make choices that align with who you are. It's all about finding clarity and inspiration as you navigate through life.

One intriguing revelation is how specific numbers and letters that resonate with the Universal Year manifest in the minds of people around the world.

To understand this phenomenon, let's consider the Universal Year 1 in 2026. In May 2025, we began observing individuals with Cornerstone Letters A, J, and S attracting media attention. Every nine years, these individuals may encounter changes, adjustments, potential health challenges, or even streaks of bad luck when their Cornerstone Letter or major numbers align with Universal Year 1. Think back to the years 2017 or 2008 for a sense of familiarity.

The Unluckiest Number Is...

May 2025 to April 2026 is undoubtedly a testing period for individuals with Life Number 1, Pinnacle 1, Challenge 1, Karmic Lesson 1 and/or those born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th of any month. Overcoming obstacles is highly likely during this period.

We are still in a 'health' cycle, so issues related to illness and injuries can undoubtedly cause obstacles and setbacks. For others, this may manifest as a business failure or a career crisis due to an unexpected layoff. 

While 1 possesses a pioneering spirit, strong leadership skills, and unyielding determination, it must learn to respect the perspectives of others. This is especially true for Life Number 1 and 1-born individuals whose birth names do not include the letters B, K, or T.

A person who lacks the energy of 2 is typically less nurturing, empathetic, and cooperative.

Often, 1s missing the 2 energy come across as overly dominant, argumentative, belligerent, competitive, and judgmental. They can be extremely rigid, stubborn, and hot-tempered, to the point of being so egotistical that they disregard the advice of others. Power struggles are frequently present in both their personal and professional environments.

1s can also be know-it-alls, self-righteous, and judgmental, often trying to control others. They rarely pause to "read the room." Additionally, they can be obsessive about managing their environment, which makes them come across as bossy and demanding.

In fact, the world values the positive qualities of 1: natural leaders, innovators, independent thinkers, and driven individuals who are ambitious, confident, and have a strong desire to achieve their goals.

Our life journey is one of spiritual growth and self-discovery.

Life's pivotal stages can be challenging, but they also offer a unique opportunity for growth and self-discovery. During these times, it's important to become more aware of our ego, thoughts, emotions, and the habits we've formed over the years. By recognizing and understanding these aspects of ourselves, we can begin to transcend limiting beliefs and behaviors that hold us back. With the right mindset and approach, individuals can truly open a new chapter in both their personal and professional lives, opening the door for positive change and fulfillment.

These individuals will be tested as to how they can maintain a sense of independence without feeling the need to exert control over others. It's essential for them to cultivate a strong sense of self-reliance and confidence that allows them to stand on their own without the urge to dominate or manipulate those around them. It involves nurturing healthy boundaries, fostering mutual respect in relationships, and understanding that true strength comes from uplifting oneself and others, rather than attempting to control them.

Some may be caught off guard by a separation or divorce.

You'd think they'd have good fortune, but not so; instead, they are destined to have unstable luck and setbacks in some area of life. In the context of professional development, transitioning to a new job or launching a business during a Universal Year 1 can pose significant financial challenges. It's advisable to steer clear of major financial commitments such as relocating or purchasing a new car or home during this time. This period is not suitable for high-stakes risks. Instead, individuals should concentrate on securing stable income sources, avoiding high-risk investments, and focusing on long-term financial stability. The likelihood of incurring losses, particularly through risky ventures or substantial expenses, is notably high during this phase.

Not to worry—by late April 2026, it will be smoother sailing as you step out of the shadow of the year's challenges.

As there are lucky numbers, there are also three unlucky numbers for the upcoming year. This is because other numbers usually clash with the year's energy. That said, individuals with major numbers and cycles 2, 6, and 8 should also be more cautious as they navigate through the final quarter of 2025 and the year 2026.

You never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out. ― Warren Buffett

A large number of individuals with 6 or 8 in their blueprint find themselves teetering on the edge of financial ruin, faced with the looming threats of bankruptcy, foreclosure, or eviction. Keeping up with the Joneses and crafting a favorable impression on others is incredibly important for number 8. These individuals obsess about money, status, and their reputation in their community or the world.

How 8 presents itself often shapes its ego, connections and social standing. Therefore, it's essential to stay in tune with what's trending worldwide!

Their circumstances are often a result of reckless financial mismanagement, coupled with unpaid taxes and indulgent spending habits that stretch their resources thin. Living beyond their means has left them trapped in a cycle of debt, with an ever-growing list of creditors demanding their due. The weight of their choices hangs heavy, as they navigate the precarious waters of fiscal instability.

Every year, a different number between 1 and 9 shapes what happens around the world, affecting trends and events in various ways.

We're lucky to live in a world full of cycles! Even when your Pinnacle stretches over a remarkable 28 years or more, the letters in your name are always on the transiting, bringing fresh experiences every 1 to 9 years. Right now, the energy of the number 1 is powerful—it's a time that might come with some challenges. 

These challenges encourage us to let go of any unhealthy habits and mindsets we've been holding onto. And here's the exciting part! The last seven months of 2026 look incredibly promising! We understand that the coming months may present their share of challenges for number 1, but please know that your efforts and resilience will not go unnoticed; they will be recognized and celebrated in due time. It's a wonderful time for those willing to embrace change to draw the good things that are on the horizon.
