As the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, millions across the UK will be filled with hope for a fresh start. Yet, according to a leading psychic, the key to a truly fortunate 2026 might not lie in ambitious resolutions but in spotting a simple, everyday object on New Year's Day.
The Symbolic Power of a Found Penny
Psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman from Online Tarot explains that many long-held traditions exist to set the tone for the coming months. She highlights one specific omen to watch for as the new year dawns. "Finding a penny on the street on New Year's Day sets you off for a lucky year," Honigman states.
She draws a parallel with the famous phrase "streets paved with gold," a metaphor for places ripe with opportunity. A solitary penny, therefore, becomes a tangible symbol of potential wealth and success waiting to be discovered.
Why the Start of the Year Matters Spiritually
From a spiritual viewpoint, events at the beginning of January carry significant weight. "The luck we experience on the first few days of the year is symbolic of the way our year is going to go," Honigman advises. She cautions that misfortune during this period can be an inauspicious sign, while any stroke of good fortune is seen as a precursor of the positive energy to come.
This insight arrives as many abandon their New Year's resolutions. Studies suggest a staggering 90 percent of people fail to maintain their post-Christmas pledges to change, leading mental health experts to question the value of such pressure-filled goal-setting.
How to Manufacture Your Own Good Fortune
But what if you don't stumble upon a lucky coin? Honigman offers a clever and proactive solution. "It is entirely possible, and even advisable, to create your own harbinger of luck," she suggests.
This involves deliberately placing symbols of prosperity in your own path as 2026 begins. Ideas include:
- Using seasonal chocolate coins as cute tokens of prosperity.
- Planting a special coin, like an old Chinese coin, in your wallet or purse to attract wealth.
"This will promote luck and good fortune for the year ahead, and you don't even have to wait till you find one on the street," Honigman adds. This approach offers a path to a positive mindset without the need for expensive trends or self-denial after the festive season.
So, as you step out on January 1st, keep your eyes peeled for that glint of copper or silver. And if one doesn't appear, remember you have the power to plant the seeds of your own prosperous new year.
