The ruling sign for 2026 is Ogunda Otrupon, accompanied by Oggún as the main deity and Oshún as a companion. The prophetic prayer states Iré arikú oyale lowo Orula, which foretells strong health under the protection of Orula.
Among the spiritual recommendations, the importance of collective hygiene, the prevention of nervous and digestive system diseases, and the attention to alcoholism as a social problem are emphasized. It is also urged to strengthen family unity and respect for the mother as a cornerstone of stability in the home.
Ifá warns of a potential increase in domestic violence and the loss of ethical values, recommending the strengthening of family and social education. It also suggests providing offerings to San Lázaro and to the deities Oggún and Oshún to preserve health and harmony.
The oracle also foresees the continuation of the migration flow and calls on believers to maintain faith, respect for Yoruba traditions, and spiritual balance as ways to achieve collective advancement.
