Bring on 2026!!
The Year of the Snake (2025) taught us how to shed. It was a year of quiet recalibration — not loud endings, but precise ones. The Snake didn’t rush us forward; it asked us to pause, to listen to the discomforts we kept ignoring. It showed us where we were living out of habit instead of truth, where we were staying small because it felt safer than being seen. Growth in the Year of the Snake didn’t come through force. It came through awareness. Through honesty. Through the brave decision to let something old fall away even when no one else could see why.
The lesson of the Snake was simple but demanding: clarity precedes change.
Before anything could move, we had to understand what was misaligned. We had to name what no longer fit. We had to trust that shedding was not a loss, but a preparation. The Snake reminded us that wisdom often arrives quietly — and that not everything meaningful announces itself with urgency.
The Year of the Horse (2026) asks us to move. Where the Snake slowed time, the Horse returns momentum. This is a year animated by courage, motion, and trust in your own legs beneath you. The Horse does not overanalyze the road — it runs it. It invites you to act on the truths you uncovered, to live what you learned instead of endlessly processing it. If the Snake helped you understand who you are becoming, the Horse asks you to embody it.
The energy of the Horse is expansive and alive. It favors bold decisions, forward motion, and choosing freedom over familiarity. This is a year that rewards honesty in action — saying yes when you mean yes, leaving when you know you’re done, trusting your instincts enough to follow them without needing constant reassurance. The Horse doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It trusts momentum to create clarity as it goes.
Together, these years form a powerful arc. 2025 stripped away what wasn’t true. 2026 gives you the courage to run toward what is.
You are not starting from scratch in the Year of the Horse — you are starting from wisdom. You move forward lighter, clearer, and more aligned than before. The shedding is complete. The path is open. And now, you’re invited to trust yourself enough to take up space in your own becoming.
