We will present a new model for the solar cycle, which will provide: 1) formulae, verified by observations of Cycles 21-25, that connect the open magnetic field at solar minimum to the duration and maximum number of sunspots in the solar activity phase that follows; 2) formulae that connect sequential cycles, and thus from the properties of Cycle 25, forecast Cycle 26.
