Health in 2026

The year's energy will be powerful, giving you a surge of strength. However, excessive activity may lead to fatigue. Balance activity with recovery, or a strong start could end in exhaustion.

Pay attention to your heart, blood pressure, and stress levels. Swimming, breathing exercises, meditation, and short breaks will help prevent overload. Watch your diet, drink enough water, and make time for solitude — this will help maintain balance and inner strength.
