2026 is a year like no other as we move from dark to light

It’s been an interesting start to 2026 because we are still shedding and releasing from 2025 and the year of the snake. Officially this will continue until the 17th February when the year of the fire horse begins, however you wont feel the real events until the end of March, namely OSTARA or the Spring Equinox from 21st March 2026.

Many people are experiencing extreme tiredness, emotional overwhelm and the return of physical symptoms so let me try and help you. You are in the void between two worlds so to speak so its going to feel strange. The good news is that you don’t need to actually do anything but be present and observe. We automatically try and attach meaning and understanding and we don’t actually have to. Sometimes our nervous systems are just simply over stimulated and need rest from the mind and the physical. Sometimes sitting down and watching a movie and letting the tears flow without attaching meaning is what you need. When you know you will know.

The year of the snake is also the year of karmic completion and unless you can see you past lives this will be difficult to make any sense off. What I can tell you as a reader of the Akashic Records (book of our soul) focus on this lifetime and if something is triggering and traumatic beyond reason, it most likely is a past lifetime that is being cleared (although time is not linear it is not essentially the past but lets not over complicate that). This is where I bring the word illusion in, meaning your deepest fear is coming up to be cleared as a result of the consistent inner and outer work that you have done.

Unfortunately the spiritual world like many has become a tad egoic hence why I have pulled back a bit from the noise on social media over the past few years but also to work on my own foundations so I can fully support you. It is imperative as a healer that you do your own deep work, this work is not for the faint hearted. It is not based on surface level healing where you learn reiki, drink cacao, do yoga, meditate and recite daily affirmations. However that actually is a great place to start and then you must evolve, grow, integrate and embody your practice.

The real healing lies in your triggers and relationships with your family, friends, co workers and those in authority. You do not need to go looking for this as it will present itself at the correct time but if you are too busy making your spiritual practice a daily to-do the you will miss the simple cues that your higher soul self is presenting to you because you have actually called this in. What I mean is when you set intentions or goals of how you want your life to look, be and feel then the obstacles appear. These are actually becoming visible because of you but then they can feel so overwhelming we pull back and think something is wrong. I often call this the breakdown before the breakthrough. This is also known as the void and many of us want to avoid the void (present company included) but it is the crème de la crème. The sweet spot, the honey, the wound where the light enters but first we must face the dark. Our shadow selves, our inner child our subconscious mind, terminology is not important but this awareness is. We often put those parts of us in the shadows over the years deeming them wrong or bad because a care giver or teacher told us they were and then we believe them. This is common and has been passed down through generations but the key here is seeing both sides and entering this heart centred consciousness, but in order to do that and for the world to move from the ego to heart leader, from fear to love we must heal the heart.

As children we arrive here with such innocence. I have been hearing the song ‘Return to Innocence’ by Enigma recently. Here are some of the words…

“Love, devotion, feelings, emotion. Don’t be afraid to be weak. Don’t be too proud to be strong. Just look into your heart my friend. That will be the return to yourself. The return to innocence.”

Time to return back to the self, the soul self is your true authentic self. He or she is not perfect as no one is. Earth is a school where we make mistakes, we learn, grow and evolve. Long gone is the guru leader that everyone follows which is becoming evident collectively with current events. We are all leaders. We are all the same, we have just experienced different things at different times. I am simply your guide, just like if you are a parent you do not own your children you are simply their guide and they do not need you to be perfect as it does not exist but just to be there to give them the tools to self regulate, to problem solve, to understand and heal. That is what I am here to do as an Intuitive Wellbeing Coach & Teacher.

Numerology of 2026; new beginnings, independence & authentic soul self..

We are moving into a no. 1 year of new beginnings, independence and the self, our true authentic soul self. This will be a year of change as we need to embrace change to really shift, grow and evolve into this new year from the dark to the light. I likened last year to being n Wonderland like Alice falling down that hole and stripping all away that no longer serves us. This year is more Wizard of Oz where we wont get a choice the winds of change are here (literally look at the weather) and escorting us from black and white (dark) to colour (light) just like in the movie. Like Dorothy we had dreams, wishes and desires and the elements have listened and we are now in the new world but we need to ground, acclimatise and realign our goals before we move forward down the yellow brick road. Just like Dorothy she truly discovered who she was by the end of her journey as you will by the end of 2026 so embrace the process and enjoy the ride, ups and downs.

Trust that the past is over but these experiences were needed for this year’s new beginnings. We are still shedding so release the feeling and beliefs that are anchoring you to it and work through your fears instead of denying them.

The no.1 year teaches us to be independent but in order to fully embrace that feelings of isolation and loneliness will one up to be released, felt and transmuted.

Courage will be required for real change so get used to feeling out of your comfort zone and get comfortable being uncomfortable. Remember that change is the only constant so start with your routines and make small achievable changes towards your goals.

1 is the number of the SELF so this will be a year of getting to know YOU so you can identify what changes you need to make within. Develop a realistic sense of your own self worth. Where is that Ona scale of 1-10 and then identify the source through inner child work, Listen to and follow your feelings but don’t forget to balance this with inspired action not forced action. What works for one person may not work for you and vice versa.

Remember that what you do this year will set your course for the next 9 years as you clear and build strong foundations to grow from.

What does the year of the Firehorse mean?

The year of the firehorse is all about OPTIMISM & OPPORTUNITY. Horses are ENERGETIC, DYNAMIC and have PERSERVERANCE but are also intuitive, gentle and warm hearted. Horses thrive in environments where they can roam freely and be wild. They pursue passions without constraint and are impulsive at times and often unpredictable. Then we add in the fire element with its mix of passion, courage and radical change and you have a year of quick TRANSFORMATIONS.

This, coupled with a no 1 year will make 2026 a year to remember so it’s important to understand the energy but also to balance the fast pace with feminine flow and surrender. Yes fire is action and the masculine but water is flow an the feminine and can’t have one with the other.

So with this being said here at 6 ways that we can thrive this year?

Let go of the need for perfection. It’s literally a passion killer and there is no such thing.
Embrace your passion projects and only do what lights you up.
Avoid burnout by grounding regularly between flow and force (feminine & masculine)
Be mindful of your reactions as fire energy suppressed can make you quick tempered so learn ow to self regulate through self awareness of the self
Focus on Freedom and what that means for you in your life. Ask yourself does this feel freeing to me
Trust your intuition and have fun, breaking a rules sometimes is ok

It’s important to take it slow, to ground, to find support via a coach or therapist, to read books, to listen to podcasts with different views and find what is true for you or what resonates with you even if it doesn’t logically make sense but also to balance this with grounding, balanced diet, sleep and energy work like reiki, acupuncture, massage or reflexology. I would highly recommend my Hormone Balance Course at this stage as you can work away at your own pace. It is designed with over 20hrs of content across all 4 bodies; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual with a focus on balancing, understanding and integrating our inner and outer worlds.
