Nigeria, Jan. 6 -- Happy new year, everyone! This year will be consequential for many reasons, the most mundane of which is the claim by numerologists that it is a "number one" year associated with hopeful new beginnings.

Numerology

According to the math, when you add up the numbers making up 2026 (2+2+6), you get 10. To get a single digit to work with, we still have to add the two numbers making up 10. 1+0=1. In the words of Christine O'Day, "If you spent 2025 finally ridding yourself of attitudes and relationships that needed to end, then 2026 will be your year to start fresh and become the person you want to become." The future will impact on your present more strongly this year.

Actually, you don't need any esoteric science to know...
