Preparing for the Year of the Fire Horse

Happy January 2026 folks!
We are in the last few weeks of the year of the Snake 🐍before we move into the year of the Fire 🔥 Horse 🐎 which is just around the corner.

This liminal space is a great time to reflect on the year that was- how was the year of the snake for you?

Like me, you may have had a big year of change

Things may still be spinning and pulling you in many different directions

Everything, everywhere all at once

Give yourself the space to process and integrate

For the body to catch up with the mind

For the heart and gut to recalibrate and reset for the impending new lunar cycle

Here’s a reflective prompt that’s a simple and effective way to process your experience:

🌀What are the Highlights, Lowlights and Lessons of the year of the Wood Snake?🌀
🌸Take a moment to focus on your breathing, allowing your body and mind to settle
🌸Reflect on the highlights, lowlights and lessons of the year
🌸Don’t over think it, write/ draw/ move with the first 3 things that arise in each category
🌸 Once you have completed the process, notice any sensations or emotions that arise in the body- allow these to rise and fall like the waves of the ocean 🌊
The next few weeks is the perfect time to start tuning in to your intention for the year of the Fire 🔥 Horse 🐎
Here’s a list of words to inspire you - you can choose one from the list in the image or allow your psyche to offer you one by using the embodied process below:
​
🌀 Embodied Intention setting for the year of the Fire Horse 🌀
🌸Repeat the first step above and take a moment to focus on your breathing, allowing your body and mind to settle
🌸Ask your heart for an intention and stay open to the response you receive
🌸Now ask your gut for an intention is and stay open to the response you receive
🌸Lastly ask your intuition/ higher self for an intention and stay open to the response you receive
🌸Write down the 3 words (or more) that you received and draw/ move in response to them and explore if there’s one word that combines them all

✨ Share your word in the comments and let’s create a symphony of intentions so we can support each other to attune to and embody them ✨
