Table of Contents ▼
The year 2025 was one of turbulence, pushing us to seek breakthroughs amid instability. As time progresses, the Four Transformations of 2026 will open a new situation: Tian Tong transforming into Lu (祿), Tian Ji transforming into Quan (權), Wen Chang transforming into Ke (科), and Lian Zhen transforming into Ji (忌).
If 2025 was a “Year of Major Change,” then 2026 will be a year that offers opportunities for stability and cooperation, yet hides tests of power and morality.
The Four Key Transformations of 2026
1. New Opportunity: Cooperation and Relationships
Tian Tong Transforming into Lu (祿):
Tian Tong symbolizes blessings and stability, with a mild temperament and a peaceful attitude toward the world. Even when facing setbacks, it tends to laugh them off. When transformed into Lu (祿), it indicates new resources and opportunities
The overall environment of 2026 will favor harmony and interpersonal cooperation. The atmosphere of collaboration and mutual assistance will grow stronger, and many new opportunities will appear within relationships.
Reminder and Advice:
This year is suitable for letting go of competitiveness and focusing on building good partnerships. Through complementarity and cooperation, you can gain more support and more easily grasp hidden opportunities.
2. Power Building: Influence in Rapid Change
Tian Ji Transforming into Quan (權):
Tian Ji represents wisdom, flexibility, and analytical thinking, skilled at finding the best solution in changing situations. Quan (權) symbolizes the ability to take charge and exercise influence. Unlike 2025, which emphasized “expertise and service to others,” the year 2026 focuses more on how to respond to rapid change.
If you wish to gain influence and authority in your field in 2026, the key lies in your ability to think quickly, adapt flexibly, and use careful strategic planning to take control of the situation.
Reminder and Advice:
You must not only keep up with change but also learn to create an environment of change that benefits you. If you can demonstrate clear judgment and decision-making in times of turbulence, you will have the chance to stand out in your profession.
3. Rising Fame: Knowledge Brings Reputation
Wen Chang transforming into Ke (科):
Wen Chang symbolizes rationality, logic, and meticulous thinking. It also carries the meaning of academic achievement, representing recognition gained through learning and talent. Ke (科) signifies fame and visibility. Unlike 2025, which emphasized “the transformation of identity and position,” 2026 focuses on how professional knowledge is expressed and recognized.
The environment of 2026 will value knowledge and communication even more. Learning, communication, writing, examinations, and all forms of professional output will become important stages for enhancing personal influence.
Reminder and Advice:
If you can make good use of writing, presentations, public speaking, and accumulating works, and transform your professional knowledge into content to share, you will increase your visibility and reputation, opening more opportunities for the future.
4. Inner Conflict: The Test of Desire and Risk
Lian Zhen Transforming into Ji (忌):
Lian Zhen symbolizes restraint over desire and rules, carrying qualities of power, impulse, and testing limits. Ji (忌) represents unease, challenges, and risk. Unlike 2025, which focused on the tension between emotion and reason, Lian Zhen transforming into Ji (忌) in 2026 will more easily create an atmosphere of “gray areas of rules” or “taking risks despite danger.” In the larger environment of 2026, moral risk and the temptation of power will become highlighted topics. Both individuals and society will face more direct value-based challenges.
Reminder and Advice:
When pursuing profit, power, or desire, pay special attention to whether you are crossing your principles and boundaries. Excessive risk-taking may bring costs in reputation, legality, or relationships. By guarding your core values and integrity, you can avoid falling into long-term unease caused by impulsive actions.
2026 Forecast: Collaboration, Rapid Change, Knowledge, and Risk Management
On one hand, 2026 seeks stability and cooperation (Tian Tong transforming into Lu); on the other hand, it accelerates change and competition (Tian Ji transforming into Quan), while knowledge becomes the key to reputation and influence (Wen Chang transforming into Ke).
At the same time, hidden within the environment are challenges of power and desire (Lian Zhen transforming into Ji), reminding us that while pursuing achievement, we must be careful not to stray from our principles.
When temptation and risk appear in the environment, what truly brings long-lasting strength is harmony, cooperation, and moral grounding.
The most important theme of 2026 is: How to find balance between stability and change, and how to transform anxiety into opportunity by holding firmly to your core values.
