"A horse gallops with his lungs, perseveres with his heart,
and wins with his character."

~ Federico Tesio, breeder of thoroughbreds

The Tao of Now: Horsepower!

Welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse, when we activate our inner fire - and all our burning desires come galloping Home.

2026 promises Lightspeed, in every sense.

It's a Universal "1" year (2+0+2+6 = 10 = 1), a time to begin anew and move boldly, with quantum jumps forward. If you thought the energy was fast-moving in 2025, this year will see a ramping up some might call frenetic. It's directed, innovative, aligned flow. And it's gonna be FUN!

"Truth bombs will be exploding all over our collective consciousness as Uranus, the revolutionary rascal, creator, and former outsider, takes center stage," says astrologer Pam Gregory.

She emphasizes that our bold focus needn't be about demonstrations and placards. This (r)evolution can be a revolution of choice: electing to spend our time, money, and life energy in ways that are coherent rather than expected. A subtle rebellion with high frequency awareness. "Love and joy are acts of defiance, as is committing to creating a higher octave of consciousness," she affirms.

Prancing in the Clouds

Intriguingly, the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026 is unusually ethereal: "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. Cloud Dancer encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation.

"In a world where color has become synonymous with personal expression, this is a shade that can adapt, harmonize, and create contrast, bringing a feeling of airy lightness to all applications and environments."

Well, color us clarity and creativity. For leaders, visionaries, business builders, and consciousness catalysts, this is your opportunity to initiate, showcase talent, rebrand, form new connections and discover new passions, all while staying grounded in courage, intention, authenticity - and sacred wildness. Novelty has never looked so purpose-full.

2026 is our galactic "gaitway", our green light, our cloud dance. A collective gallop fueled from the heart. We are all neighhhhhbors here. Community. Connection. Communication. Coherence.

Let's get fired up!

Shine On

I Am Living Life Abundantly: 9 sonic minutes of peace, joy and prosperity to welcome you into the Year of the Fire Horse, from Lee Harris and Davor Bozic.

2026: The Shift You Can't Ignore. Time is collapsing, says Jim Self, as we accelerate into a highly expansive energy that is deconstructing who we are not. So if you feel like you're losing your memory, relax; it isn't cognitive decline, but a signal that your consciousness is shifting. Focus your attention on the Light, rather than dwelling in the shadows. This will help keep your nervous system calm and your awareness clear.

January's Time Warp: Why You Feel "Different" Overnight. Akashic Records consultant Lisa Wetsel says this month is a moment where human consciousness moves into a new way of being instantaneously, as a new timeline opens. We've been talking about multidimensionality for decades, and now...we're going to fully embody it. If you've been feeling different already - lighter, more spacious, less attached to old patterns - you're not imagining it. Your soul is adjusting to the new frequency.

The Wounded Healer Era is Over: Spiritual guide Sonia Choquette says it's time to stop being a wounded healer, taking care of other people's traumas and problems at your expense. Victimization ended with the Year of the Snake; we shed it, along with so many outmoded beliefs and behaviors. Now Chiron, the archetypal wounded healer, is direct in Aries, beginning to move into action from the gift rather than orienting by the wound. It's a new vibration, time to activate better energetic boundaries and step into intuitive leadership and true soul power. YES!

Hymn to Hestia: The often-overlooked goddess Hestia, Guardian of the Hearth, is the ideal deity to help us reclaim our sacred fire this year. "As the ancient Greeks perceived the world, if you have ever come home and found warmth - literal or metaphorical - you have had an encounter with the goddess Hestia." Listen to this ethereal Orphic Hymn to Hestia, which also evokes prancing in the clouds.
