Universal Year 1 (2026)

2+0+2+6=10

1+0=1

1 is connected to the Sun which rules Leo

“The year of endings is FINISHED! 2026 is Universal Year 1 connected to the Sun 🌞 and ♌️ energy 🦁. This is the START of a 9 year cycle much like 2017 was. This year emphasizes: bravery, authority, leadership, entrepreneurship, identity, individualism, self-expression, the father, vitality, life-force energy, optimism, freedom, fun, enthusiasm, passion, generosity, consciousness & clarity!

The negative manifestation is being a stubborn egotistical arrogant controlling manipulative dominating spoilt entitled perfectionist narcissistic self-centered validation-obsessed attention-whore.

This is THE year to be forward thinking. Not every year is a number 1 year. The fact that there are MANY Cazimis within the very first month of this year corroborates the numerology and provides MUCH clarity that will come in handy to foresee or deal with the heaviness of the karmic Eclipse season hitting us later on February 17th and March 3rd which comes amid the Saturn-Neptune conjunction of February 20th. It is like your spiritual batteries are charged and/or declogged throughout this whole month even if it is a bit of a bumpy ride. Enjoy it!”

MORE emphasizing the Sun/Leo energy this year:

JUPITER which is the planet of hope/expansion/optimism spends approximately 1 year in a zodiac sign and it happens to ENTER LEO in 2026
PLUTO RETROGRADE in Aquarius on May 6th starts within one of the LEO degrees of Aquarius, specifically the 5th degree.
URANUS RETROGRADE on eventful September 10th starts within one of the LEO degrees of Gemini, again the 5th degree.
When Mars enters Leo in 2026 it does so while the Sun is part of a Kite aspect pattern involving Uranus & the Sun both being within one of the LEO degrees specifically both the 5th degree; The Sun within the 5th degree of Libra while Uranus is within the 5th degree of Taurus. This Sun trine Uranus there in that Kite is one of the tighter aspects playing out at that time, by the way. Another notable thing about Mars' entry into Leo is that Mars is square Chiron around this time and Chiron happens to be within one of the LEO degrees of Aries at the time, in this case the 29th degree which is also the Anaretic Degree.
The LAST MERCURY RETROGRADE OF THE YEAR ends within one of the Leo degrees of Scorpio, AGAIN the 5th degree
- (EXTRA: What seems to underline that last point is the fact that this Mercury Retrograde ends on the 13th day of November while the 13th Tarot Card which is called "Death" is connected to Scorpio. Death is about what is FINAL and Scorpio is ruled by Mars & Pluto which are both connected to the LAST number in Numerology, number 9. Mars rules Aries so it is fitting that the 13th degree is one of the Aries degrees. The Venus Retrograde which is more rare than the Mercury Retrogrades will overlap with this Mercury Retrograde and this Venus Retrograde ALSO finishes on November 13th (in the EST Time Zone). This Mercury Retrograde will start and end in Scorpio while the Venus Retrograde will start in Scorpio and end in Libra. However, both the Venus and Mercury Retrogrades will start at a Scorpio degree of Scorpio when they start. For instance, this Mercury Retrograde starts at the 20th degree, one of the Scorpio degrees regardless of which sign that degree shows up in, to be clear, and this Venus Retrograde which starts on October 3rd will do so also at one of the Scorpio degrees, the 8th degree because the 8th sign is Scorpio. As mentioned below, the August 12th 2026 Solar Eclipse in Leo happens at a Scorpio degree of Leo, the 20th degree.)
The TRUE Lunar Nodes shift to the Aquarius-LEO axis on July 26th, 2026 (or August 18th, 2026 if you’re looking at the MEAN Lunar Nodes instead).
- This year the eclipse which is a TOTAL solar eclipse is the LEO eclipse on August 12th. The other solar eclipse this year is only “annular”, not “total”
  - The following Mars Retrograde which starts January 10th 2027 in Virgo and finishes April 12th 2027 will finish at the same degree of Leo (20°) that the Solar Eclipse of August 12th 2026 happened at.
    - The first Eclipses of 2027 will happen within the duration of this Mars retrograde period and will hit both Virgo and Aquarius, by the way.
SATURN-NEPTUNE conjunction of February 20th, 2026 involves double-whammy “0” degree (portal) in firey warlike Aries, while imperialist/puppet Trump who is seemingly at the helm and who has a LEO rising (at the Anaretic Degree) & other LEO degrees in his natal chart shows no sign of going away or calming down any time soon

Mundane Astrology / "Mundane Astronumerology" attributes of 2026:

Leo is connected to the HEART:
- Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian is a former heart surgeon.
- Lindsey Graham died during or close to a Retrograde Mercury Cazimi - Cazimi is a function of the Sun. Mercury relates to communication. Graham was a man known for his warmongering shit-talking which was often over-the-top
  - Graham died of a heart-related illness, an aortic dissection caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (hardening of the arteries); arteries are related to Jupiter. He died shortly after Jupiter entered Leo. The following Mercury Cazimi after this one (and while Mercury is going forward again) happens to be extremely close to the following Lunar Eclipse, by the way.

Tulsi Gabbard quit amid Uranus Cazimi - Uranus relates to unexpected events, surprises, rebellious/anti-establishment themes, revolution.
- Gaddafi's most prominent son was killed around when Uranus stopped its 5 month retrograde February 3rd, 2026.
  - A few days after this retrograde started back in September 2025 Charlie Kirk was killed while the ramp-up against Venezuela started to gain momentum and this was also amid Eclipse Season as Kirk's memorial service was on the same day as the Solar Eclipse

As we enter 2026 the Pope that is in power is called Pope Leo.
- He is sounding the alarm about AI and comparing it to nuclear weapons.
- He also has repeatedly and explicitly spoken out against the mass killing, displacement, and humanitarian catastrophe facing Palestinians in Gaza, i.e. genocide

Sun/Leo symbolism:
- - The flag that the west unsuccessfully tried to revive in Iran during their color-revolution attempts in early 2026 happened to have a Sun and Lion on it
  - Kurdish factions were in the news more in relation to Syria shortly before the 2026 Iran war. A few of the various flags relating to these Kurdish groups also have this Sun/Lion symbolism.
  - Senator accuses Fauci of acting like the "Sun God of science" July 29, 2026
  - Mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow dressed in a sunny elaborate outfit as she says the glue gun is "king". Previous Universal Year 1 (2017) also involved the release of a Netflix film called "Message from the King". (More on royalty below)
  - As we were hit by 2026's Venus retrograde on October 3rd which would likely once again expose Trump's policies' economic impact globally and domestically attention was put on this seemingly trivial "Sunshine Protection Act" which has been discussed since 2018: Trump posts GOP lawmaker’s phone number amid spat over Daylight Saving Time | CNN Politics [article published October 3, 2026] The previous Venus retrograde seemed to coincide with Trumps tariff wars in 2025.
  - Trump announces beginning of 'major combat operations in Iran':

Israel called it “OPERATION ROARING LION”

US called it “OPERATION EPIC FURY”

GEMATRIA:

"Roaring Lion" = 37 (Chaldean)

3+7= 10

1+0= 1

"Epic" = 24 (Full Reduction)

"Iran" = 24 (Full Reduction)

2+4= 6

The Full Reduction gematria cipher aka Pythagorean cipher is basically a compressed version of English Ordinal cipher which is the cipher whereby the word “War” matches “Iran” yet again as you see below since the US has been aggressive to Iran for decades. The CIA’s actions against Iran in 1953 represent the first fully successful CIA-engineered overthrow of a foreign government, for instance.

"War" = 42 (English Ordinal)

"Iran" = 42 (English Ordinal)

4+2= 6

6 is Venus energy, connected to money, hence Trump ruining the world's economy via this war against Iran and often having to resort to economic pressure (such as "Operation Economic Outcast" or similar things such as pressuring other countries to ban flights involving Iran) simply due to the harsh reality that US military prowess is not what it once was.

"Lion" = 23 (Full Reduction)

Number 23 is known as “the Royal Star of the Lion” in Numerology

In 2026's Venus Retrograde the Sun's Cazimi with Venus starts on November 23rd.

2+3=5

5 is connected to Mercury energy

Mercury rules Trump's Sun sign, Gemini.

Mercury is extremely synced up with Venus in 2026's Venus Retrograde as both Retrogrades end on November 13th (at least in the Ottawa time zone) and also as the Mercury Retrograde pre-shadow starts so close to the actual Venus Retrograde station (and, by the way, according to Maison Jupiter the last time Mercury and Venus were retrograde in Scorpio was the onset of World War 1. Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars, the God of war.)

"War" = 9 (Chaldean)

"Iran" = 9 (Chaldean)

"MAGA" = 9 (Chaldean)

The prelude to 2026's war of choice against Iran was the so-called "12 day war" in Universal Year 9 (2025)

Sun/Leo energy is connected to the 5th house which includes children, just like how "The Sun" Tarot card features a baby, hence:
- Iran's LEGO AI videos were very popular as LEGO reminds many of us of our childhoods.
- US bombed a children's school on the first day of the Iran war (apparently killing at minimum 120 children + 56 adults).
- Ottawa has had several children injured in falls from buildings since the beginning of the year [posted July 4, 2026]
- personal anecdote: The McDonalds close to where I live the last 3 or 4 years has had the play structure room with the balls closed off likely due to COVID policies back in the lockdown days but at the onset of 2026 I noticed it was open again a few weeks or so before outside benches were introduced . This re-opening not only relates to children but also to the bravery of Leo
- Lindsay Clancy is a Leo who was born on an 11/2 day and is a Life Path 2, a number connected to the Moon. The Moon is associated with motherhood. Clancy is a mother accused of killing her three children in 2023, and her story has resurfaced in the news as we approach Universal Year 2 (2027), especially after the eclipses of 2026 concluded. Some background relating to her story is here.
- A previous Universal Year 1 (1999) involved the release of "The Sixth Sense", a film featuring a child psychologist who seeks redemption by treating a young boy with a disturbing secret. Although this film was featured internationally on Netflix around 2015 it never actually arrives on Netflix in the US until October 2026. In Canada & France it re-emerges on Netflix the previous month on September 5th, meaning in Universal Month 1 (September 2026) within Universal Year 1 (2026).

"Sun" also relates to "Son", and so the Father:
- Reza Pahlavi — the son of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, who ruled Iran from 1941 until the 1979 Islamic Revolution — did position himself as an opposition figure in exile. Western media and political circles repeatedly debated his role as a possible successor to Iran’s leadership, especially during the aforementioned color-revolution attempts of early 2026.
- Amid the unprovoked war on Iran in 2026 the person who replaced the martyred Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei was his son, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei. This was NOT necessarily a foregone conclusion. (By the way, this was a historic funeral with what Iranian state media say was around 40 million people attending the multi-day multi-location ceremony, and if it is true that this is a record-setting event then it is reminding us that number 1 is about FIRSTS, and interestingly Ali was born on the 19th day reminding us that "The Sun" Tarot Card is the 19th card and reminding us that 19/1 is a Karmic Debt Number which is hard to ignore given Ali was born amid a Total Solar Eclipse and was killed close to a Total Lunar Eclipse.)
- Trailer for 2026's Louis CK Netflix special features jokes about Louis' father.
- Trailer for 2026's Jo Koy stand-up comedy special description: "Jo Koy relives a wild dental disaster, recounts getting fired from McDonald's and celebrates his veteran stepdad in this hilariously heartfelt set."
- 2 New Netflix series released in 2026 are "I Will Find You" which is a show about a father looking for his son, and "Run Away" which is a show about a father looking for his daughter.
- Netflix film released in 2026 called "The Whisper Man". Description: "When his young son vanishes, a widower enlists help from his estranged father, a retired detective who put away the serial killer now linked to the case." Starring Robert De Niro who, by the way, is a Leo
  - Previous Universal Year 1 (2017) involved the release of a film called "Father Figures" aka "Who's Your Daddy?" and 2017 was also the same year as the first inauguration of Donald Trump.
    - Fast-forward to "Trump 2.0" in Universal Year 9 (2025) which is a number connected to Pluto which can be about taboos & psychological issues: "Marco Rubio loses it as Donald Trump reacts to being called 'daddy' by NATO leader: 'I'll hit him hard'"
- "Dad and Sons Rescued After Jet Ski Capsized, Stranding Them at Sea for 16 Hours" [article published August 16, 2026]

Sun/Leo energy is related to joy:
- Trevor Noah's 2026 standup-comedy special, "Joy In The Trenches".
  - This is fitting coming after Universal Year 9 (2025) which is more aligned with the trenches themselves i.e. Mars/Pluto energy because Mars is the God of war and Pluto is the underworld.

Sun shines light on things:
- More exposure of the "Jeffrey Epstein class" in 2026. Epstein is an Aquarius, the sign opposite to Leo, and the momentum for the Epstein exposure was significantly gained the previous year around the general time that Aquarius' modern ruler Uranus entered Trump's Sun sign Gemini in a Universal Year 9 (2025), relevant because number 9 is connected to Pluto energy which is also partly about what is hidden/secret. Mars is also connected to number 9. Mars is connected to Tuesdays which is the day Epstein was born which is the same day of the week that an overwhelming majority voted in favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In 2026 shortly before Uranus was about to re-enter Gemini for where it will stay there for years, Trump had his supposed 3rd assassination attempt
- Flock cameras seem to be more popular, expansive & controversial than ever in 2026 and they definitely fit into the "exposure" theme that the Sun represents -- regardless of if you think the people being exposed are the citizens or if you think the people being exposed are those who work for the state who are accused of over-reaching so it's not surprising that Flock Safety which builds them was also founded in the previous Universal Year 1 (2017). Google Trends shows the peak of the interest in the search term "Flock cameras" was around August 16th which would have been just a few days after 2026's Solar Eclipse in Leo

Leo/lion energy relates to royalty as the lion is the king of the jungle:
- UK police arrest Epstein-linked ex-Prince Andrew
  - Epstein's chairs are leopard print, as you can see from the Netflix Epstein documentary series, as well as the revelatory photos exposing ex-Prince Andrew's Epstein connections. This is relevant because "leo" is in the word "leopard" and it appears from Google Trends that the popularity of the search term "leopard print" was at an all time high early in 2026 especially around the time of the onset of the Iran war. "Animal print" too. Iran's LEGO videos were constantly exposing the Epstein class.
- excerpts via article published on the last day of Universal Month 1 (September 2026) in Universal Year 1 (2026) titled "Prince Harry, Meghan Markle blast paparazzi near their children's UK school", a story which combines royalty and children, again: "In August, it was announced that the couple had decided to return to Britain for an extended stay beginning later that month." August 2026 was the month of one of 2026's Eclipse Seasons which in this case involved a Solar Eclipse in Leo

Sun/Leo energy can be narcissistic:
- As of 10/13/2026 Google Trends shows the worldwide peak of the interest in the search term "Narcissism" to be in mid-2026, and that is including all data since 2004, apparently.
  - Likewise, the peak of the similar search term "Narcissist" was the last month of 2022 which is relevant because early in 2023 is when we get Pluto in Aquarius which is the sign opposite to Leo. This was also the same month that Google Trends indicates was the most popular for the topic "Narcissism" (apparently they track search terms and topics differently)
- In 2026 a film titled "You're Dating a Narcissist!" was officially released starring the iconic Marisa Tomei, (albeit it was originally seen in 2025 at the Austin Film Festival)

2026-2027 blending the same way 2025-2026 blended:

Since 2026 had so much FIRE in a variety of ways, I anticipate the next year will be equally about WATER as 2027 is a Universal Year 2 which is tied to the Moon/Cancer/WATER energy and since the years' energies seem to somewhat blend into each other: We can see a foreshadowing of this via the US threatening to use the "mother of all bombs" against Iran as Cancer is related to the mother and this was announced near the end of 2026 in Universal Month 2 (October 2026) . See "US considering using ‘mother of all bombs’ against Iran: Report". Iran responded by threatening to use the "Father of all Bombs". In addition, a Netflix limited series released also in Universal Month 2 (October 2026) called "Below" which is described as, "When a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote town, a fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community, and his way of life". The poster for this series contains the words "SOMETHING'S IN THE WATER" in capital letters.
- This reminds us of a similar blending/foreshadowing the previous year since the father-son themes of Universal Year 1 (2026) were foreshadowed by the fact that a father and son duo did a terrorist attack in Australia a couple weeks before we entered 2026. Since this attack was at Bondi Beach and since 2025 was so much about the Epstein files it is interesting to see "Trump defends AG Pam Bondi amid growing criticism over Jeffrey Epstein files". This is particularly noteworthy since Gemini is the Twins and, as mentioned above, Trump is a Gemini Sun and it was generally around the time of Uranus in Gemini when Trump started to be defensive about his possible Epstein connections and so in 2025 we have 2 Bondi situations - Pam Bondi & Bondi Beach. A similar twin situation, albeit maybe on a different time-frame, is that we saw Trump's domestic ICE turmoil (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) symbolically echoing Trump's chaotic approach to Iran which caused global instability in ICE Brent markets (Intercontinental Exchange Brent crude futures).
