Ambition. Acceleration. A return to yourself.
2025 was the Year of the Snake — a cycle of shedding.
Not just letting go, but being peeled back. Patterns, people, identities, expectations — so many of us were asked to release versions of ourselves we’d already outgrown.
If last year felt hard, heavy, or strangely transitional, you’re not imagining it.
Snake years are designed to strip dead weight — emotionally, spiritually, relationally. They remove what can’t go with us. They untie the knots we didn’t realize we’d built our lives around. They ask us to confront what we’ve been coping with, instead of calling it a chapter.
2025 wasn’t punishment.
It was preparation.
You didn’t “lose” anything you weren’t meant to grow past.
What you shed wasn’t meant to survive the next version of you.
It was a year of dismantling so 2026 can be a year of direction.
Now, we enter 2026 — The Year of the Fire Horse
A cycle that arrives once every 60 years.
A year that doesn’t want apologies, overthinking, or shrinking.
The Fire Horse doesn’t wait for permission.
It moves, and figures out the choreography mid-gallop.
2026 is combustible — not chaotic, but catalytic.
This is a year where momentum returns and clarity feels like ignition.
If the Snake took what was outdated,
the Fire Horse hands you the space to rebuild.
🔥 Fire = Identity in Motion
This year is asking for:
movement instead of rumination
choosing instead of stalling
deciding instead of diluting yourself for comfort
It’s not about being fearless.
It’s about acting with fear and trusting your legs anyway.
Where do you feel the spark?
That’s where the Fire Horse wants you to look.
🐎 Horse = Forward Momentum
Horse energy doesn’t ask, “Am I allowed?”
It asks, “Is this aligned?”
Expect:
career pivots that make sense now
relocation or multi-city living
friendships or relationships that grow up or fall off
breakthroughs that look like breakdowns before they click
If something exits in 2026, let it go with grace.
It’s clearing the gate for what’s next.
If 2025 Broke You Open…
2026 builds you outward.
This is not a year for shrinking to fit old rooms.
This is the year you outgrow with intent.
No more performing.
No more waiting to be picked.
No more negotiating with your own potential.
This is a walking away from the version of you that got you here, with gratitude — not guilt.

The Year of the Fire Horse Wants One Thing From You

2026 says: walk it.
