We made it.

If you’re reading this, then it’s Friday, February 20, 2026. The actual first week of the new year, the year of the Fire Horse. How do you feel? For many, this week was especially potent as the stars aligned for the Fire Horse from Tuesday to today preparing for Neptune entering Aries for the first and last time of our lifetimes tomorrow.

Sound heavy? Doesn’t need to be.

And…again, how do you feel? Did you shed every single degree of what mustn’t come with you in the year of the Fire Horse? Why does this matter, you may ask…because each Full Moon we are asked to shed the energy or vibes that doesn’t serve us - but/and, this was especially critical heading into this week as the Fire Horse picks you up exactly as you are and amplifies everything in your field so if you have something that is with you that you don’t want, it’s coming.

Not to worry.

We all do, we will all inevitably bring with us SOMEthing that we meant to put down but didn’t get to it, or, it was meant to be amplified this year so that we can see how truly misaligned it is for us. It’s ok, it will be ok.

The key is to meet each of these moments with gratitude - you don’t have to be happy about it, but still meet it with gratitude. Think…wow this stinks, thanks so much for showing me just how much this doesn’t fit where I’m trying to go. Prior to the Fire Horse, it may just have been nagging a bit, you’re very aware of it, and it’s a very “it is what it is” vibe but now you’ll be shown its full magnitude and you’ll finally be able to assess it with the clarity you didn’t have before.

Again, it’s ok, you’ll be ok.

I personally brought a bit of scarcity with me which has been spotlighted to me twice this week. I realized, ohhhhh, I see, there it is still. With gratitude, I said, got it, thank you, and was able to release the moment whereas before, even a few weeks ago I would have doubled down and made it try to work.

I’m going to say this pretty directly now…literally nothing is happening to you that you’re not creating. Sucks to hear, I know.

If you read this as an insult, then that is exactly the GPS pointing you to where you need to go.

Our triggers will always map us to the work that we’ve been avoiding because it’s not fun to visit, I get it, and at the same time, this is the part of you that is asking for love and compassion, and simply acknowledgement so that you can move through it.

When our human experiences are unpleasant, this is the exact moment in which we’re being presented a fork in the road…’keep doing what you’re doing and get the same result’ or ‘navigate a degree differently and watch new avenues unfold’.

How do we do this exactly?

Moving out of our head and into our hearts, to start with.

Literally rub your hands together like you’re trying to get warm, and place them on your heart and allow your heart to beat against the walls of your chest and into your hands. Feel it.

While you’re feeling into this, bring the thought that is ruminating into your heart and see it from the lens of your heart. Notice how it changes or the messaging shifts. Melt into your heart space as the energy surrounds the limiting thought or belief while allowing your gut to ask, “is it true?”

This is how you begin to shift out of a limiting ‘only logic’ space and into a space where your body and your mind get to share energy together. This is the magic.

When you can feel both your body/soul and its messaging alongside your logical ‘safe’ messaging of your brain, you allow something truly special to unfold. You give both energies a chance to be seen and heard, and to also come to a perfectly aligned go forward for all…this way, you feel that you’re following your soul as well as your logic. You’ll get to a point that all of this happens together in real time and your discernment allows the path to unfold quickly and divinely.

You will begin to feel like, “wow, this is my life? I can’t believe how perfectly everything is shaping up” - the above is how you do this. It’s both some of the easiest and hardest work you will ever do.

But, you can.

Simply by remembering that before you became a human, you were a limitless soul with infinite possibilities. You are still that soul, having a human experience. You just need to remember it.

Happy Fire Horse, it’s time.
