Claim the inevitable YOU. The year of ONE.

As I am writing these lines, the New Year according to the imposed general calendar has started. But I can’t say I feel it.

The new yearly energy has not unfolded, nor is it wise for us to think that the new chapter in our lives has started.

Whenever I learn new things, I try to explain them logically and test them out. If it doesn’t work for me, I can’t share them with anyone else.

Since I’ve been more intentional with my healer path, I’ve managed to start working with daily energies according to the Planetary rulership (yes, Monday is the worst day to start the week ahead with 100 meetings, while the best day to start a new cycle is Sunday) and I am happy to say that Nature’s rhythm comes first. And Nature says…NOT YET!

Do you feel like we’ve started the New Year? NO.

It took me years to smash the imposed systems of beliefs and return to the common sense we are all encompassing. That is: intuition and connection to mother Nature. And Nature is the best at showing us there are still things, places, people, relationships, versions of us we need to shed before the warmth and promise of Spring reveals the energies of what’s next in store for us.

We are still experiencing the Year of 9 | The Year of the Snake.

What or who left? What did you shed? How are you now different?

But we are slowly preparing for a brand New Year, the one of the Fire Horse.

I am not a practitioner of Chinese astrology (yet), but I study it with my teachers as Asian wisdom and healing practices as top in my life.

In Chinese calendrical practice there are actually two commonly used “doors” into the new year’s current: the widely celebrated Lunar New Year (which in 2026 falls on February 17, 2026) and the solar-term threshold Li Chun (“Beginning of Spring”), used in many Chinese metaphysics schools as the seasonal reset, which lands around February 4-7, 2026.

2026 does not promise ease, but it offers aliveness.

What changes with the Fire Horse Year is not only speed but also temperature: the atmosphere becomes more combustible, more responsive, more unwilling to be managed by careful narratives, and if 2025’s Snake energy has tended to teach through hidden corridors (a quiet recalibration, private shedding, the slow intelligence of endings), then 2026 steps into our rooms asking not “what do you know?” but “what will you do with what you are?”

This is a year that “charges forward” with intensity and bold opportunities, a year in which systems can shake and momentum can build; yet the healing invitation is to remember that momentum is not the same as whiplash, and fire is not the same as destruction unless we refuse to tend it.

The Horse is movement made symbol, a creature that does not negotiate with stagnation, and when paired with the Fire element, it can feel like life itself is urging us to stop living in the waiting room, to leave behind the polite half-decisions, to stop calling postponement “prudence,” and to return to the kind of courage that is inevitable, that comes from finally being more loyal to your inner truth than to the comfort of staying legible to everyone else.

But we will need steadier steps than before. Not caution, but compassion towards the inner wheel that guides us intentionally towards the new chapter that this year starts in us and around us.

This year, what we think and say will manifest swiftly. The Fire Horse amplifies at speed. The fire element is the one that closes the gap between intention and materiality. So be careful with what you release into the world, it might reflect into being sooner that you might expect. The good, but also the bad.

Autonomy, impulse, freedom, ambition, courage, initiative. But from a devotional place of inner authority and alignment between spirit, soul, body and mind. This year, the purification of the world starts within each of us. The most luminous use of this energy is not to gallop away from caring, intimacy or responsibility, but to gallop toward the one life that is actually yours.

The medicine of 2026 can be as simple as this: you cannot be healed by the life and inner truth you do not claim.

The year asks for motion, but not frantic motion; it asks for the kind of movement that has direction, that is born when you start letting your choices be imperfect, embodied, and real.

It can be an extraordinary year for visibility, for projects that were incubating in the dark suddenly wanting daylight, relationships refusing ambiguity, careers pushing for a bolder articulation of value, and it can also be a year of heat in the nervous system, where the temptation is to rush and increase your adrenaline.

Contrary to what you might expect, this is a year for the feminine. The feminine that rises and claims its manifestation and truth with positivity and strength.

Choose pacing as a spiritual practice, choose rest as a way to keep your fire clean, choose clarity as a series of coherent actions repeated until your life begins to show you clarity. There is a wild tenderness in this year, though it rarely gets described that way.

2026 may also ask us to rewrite the false binary between independence and belonging: to be free without being avoidant, to be sovereign without being isolated, to be passionate without burning bridges simply to prove you can.

This year can teach you the deeper kind of power: the ability to choose one direction and stay with it long enough for your life to change shape.

ENERGY GUIDANCE FOR THIS FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY

We are now experiencing a threshold between the old and the new. The energies of the old are sinking below the Full Moon in Crab (3rd of January) in opposition with a unique configuration of Sun-Mars-Venus in Capricorn, supported by Jupiter retrograde in Cancer and activated by Chiron in Aries. The coordinator of this Full (Wolf) Moon is the Moon herself, so all you Crab placements out there … you will FEEL it. We are ready to begin, yet there are still things we need to shed. A beginning of the year that asks us to first ground ourselves in authenticity and the courage to admit the real path we need to be on. The energies will be felt differently by all of you, regarding how the sky activates your own natal chart (or soul chart). Take care of your health, stomach, sleep patterns, and relationships with those loved ones. You might have 1000 plans to unfold, but it is not the right time yet. Think of this Full Moon as a rush of release for the old to quietly leave your life. Things dealing with parents and family might arise during this Full Moon in Crab. Some of the personal planets involved now in the planetary activation are what we astrologers call “out of bounds”, so there might be an erratic energy around and solutions to problems from a different, extraordinary angle.

Then, the energies will swiftly leave space for this unique (and quite rare) alignment of planets in Capricorn at exact 18 degrees, culminating with a Full On Grand Cardinal Cross on January 10th. Depending on where this activation is placed in your chart, you might need to get on with starting something new and quite suddenly. Under the influence of the Great Enhancer Jupiter in Crab and the Universal Healer Chiron in Aries, you will not be able to hide anymore under the same shell which protected you until now. Just as the crab does, the old shell will become too small for what you’ve grown into and you will put it aside in an attempt that will show both courage and vulnerability.
