As we move into December, there is a powerful energetic shift we can all feel. 2025 was a Snake year and the final 9-year in the numerology cycle has been a year of shedding, simplifying, and releasing what no longer fits. It has asked us to slow down, turn inward, and let go of old identities and emotional responsibilities that have weighed on us for too long.
For many of us, this year felt like a deep internal reset. Old patterns surfaced to be healed. Boundaries strengthened. Clarity emerged in unexpected ways.
This is exactly what a Snake year and a 9-year are designed to do: clear the path!
December: The Threshold Month
December offers a natural pause point – a moment to breathe, reflect, and honour the endings that have shaped us. You may notice a desire to declutter, reevaluate priorities, or create space. That is the sign your system preparing for what is coming next.
Momentum, Clarity, and New Beginnings in 2026
2026 is a Horse Year bringing a completely different energy. The Horse year invites movement, freedom, confidence, and forward momentum. It is intuitive, spirited, and aligned with purposeful action – much like the work we do in our community.
Numerology adds another layer: 2026 is a 1-year, the start of a brand-new nine-year cycle.
It is the year of initiation, vision, and aligned action. The year to say, “This is who I am now – and this is where I’m going.”
And because your Reticular Activating System filters for what you focus on, the intentions you set at the beginning of this cycle become the seeds of your next decade.
Moving From Shedding to Galloping Forward
As you step over the threshold into 2026, I invite you to reflect on a few things:
- What have I released this year that has made space for something better?
- Who am I becoming as I enter this new cycle?
- What direction feels true, aligned, and energizing?
- What’s the first small step that moves me forward with confidence?
You don’t need the entire roadmap. You just need the next aligned step.
Reflections:
2025 helped you shed what you couldn’t carry into your future.
2026 invites you to move with clarity, freedom, and renewed purpose.
This next chapter is all about momentum, self-trust, and stepping into who you’ve been quietly becoming all year. Your Snake year did its work. Now the Horse year is ready to help you gallop forward.
