How to tell if this is your Personal Year 8

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 9 July gets 7 + 9 + 1 = 17, then 1 + 7 = 8. The Personal Year calculator does it for you.

What comes next

Next year is a Personal Year 9. Last year was a Personal Year 7.
