Every year come December swarms of people curse the sooon-to-end year for its trials and tribulations, eager to put behind them a trying time and embrace another cycle. Yet, this year I noticed a difference in tone. Perhaps an earnest exhaustion that made the gripes and ‘good riddances’ more humble and real.
2025 was a 9 and Snake year (the latter cycle continuing into Mid Gregorian February 2026) delivered on promises to be all about ending cycles, completing storylines and transcendence. Just like snakes shed, 2025 has forced us to drop old stories, end weak relationships, and leave our delusions and bad habits behind— or face the consequences.
Depending on your luck and dedication, this year could have been very trying for you. For others, it likely seemed eventful and cathartic, but not necessarily bad. Either way though, there is a feeling in the air that everyone is waiting for a breakthrough they expect— or hope— to see next year.
The question is: what are you doing to secure it?
Before we can attain what we want, we have to know what it is. To that end I’ve been sitting in a state of open questioning with 2026 regarding the vibe it will bring and how best to thrive with it. 2026 is a 10 year, meaning it is a 1 numerologically; a fresh start, a new beginning. Once the Wood Snake year leaves us, it will burnin into the Fire Horse, exploding into exuberance, momentum, expression and more. For everything we’ve been through, it seems as if this next cycle is not ‘the next step’ on our journey (as 2025’s 9 was the last level on the staircase for this cycle) but a point on triumph, achievement; a mountain top.
And when so many of us have pressed and pushed and breathed through the learning, the grief, the growing pains and creative labor of being in these past years especially since 2020, 2026 will remind us that it’s actually time to ‘be’.
Not only ‘be’ as in ‘just be’ but ‘be’ as in ‘you ARE your goals’. Everything you’ve been transforming, learning and working towards is finally here— are you ready to embrace and embody it?
2026 will ask you to step into the energy of satisfaction and explore what it means to embody that; what happens when your healing era becomes ‘healed’? What happens when your hunger is sated and you have everything you need? How will you welcome ‘enough’ back into your arms when it’s been so long since you’ve felt it? …When your needs are actually met, who do you become?
The answer lies in blooming.
That is the frequency and answer I received when asking into the New Year, and the vibration I wove into this year’s New Year Meditation & Affirmations. If you’re not familiar, every year for the past few years I have channeled the energy of the coming cycle and created a session intended to help you energetically transition into your highest timeline in the New Year.
Use this meditation to attune yourself to an experience of being able to really blossom into the self and reality you’ve been working towards for years; the affirmations channeled to align and ground you in this energy will also be coming as a stand-alone session, so make sure to subscribe and avoid missing out!
