How to tell if this is your Personal Year 4

Add your birth month and birth day, each reduced to one digit, to the current year reduced to one digit, and reduce the total. In 2026 (2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10, then 1), someone born on 7 May gets 5 + 7 + 1 = 13, then 1 + 3 = 4. The Personal Year calculator does it for you.

What comes next

Next year is a Personal Year 5. Last year was a Personal Year 3.
