The Year of the Horse | 2026

For many it still feels like the snake is shedding, freeing the skin from the previous year and the energy that stuck to it.

In numerology, a 1 year – a fresh new start, once the energy of the 9 year comes to a close. I am learning these depths of astrology with the planets and various energy shifts. Its absolutely fascinating. A 1 year, Ive learned is like the number itself, its low, young, small, new… lean into that energy, the innocence of a small child and the absolute magic in their life that everyday brings.

2026, the year of the horse.

I am lucky to live by a horse farm, they are big, beautiful animals, their strength, watching them run and have fun, free in the field. Ive always admired horses.

The year of the horse begins on Feb. 17, 2026, and ends on Feb. 5, 2027 – the year of the snake energy is still with us for a little bit longer. Almost like a pressure cooker at times. The great remind to soften into ourselves.

The year of the snake, from what Ive read is the ultimate shedding phase in our life, release that negative energy to allow in the goodness once its time. Bypassing, not dealing with any negative energy that arrives, could be detrimental, its not the best way to move forward. Emotions will be heightened, makes sense. Intuition becomes forward with more confidence. Living your best truth – most authentic to who you are. The pause, we are in the time of the pause, as we approach this energetic shift to The Year of the Horse!

The Year of the Horse within also being a 1 year in Numerology – this is my vision. A mama with her young foal. This foal, by the end of this ‘year’ will not look the same, the growth emotionally and physically will be profound. The 1 year representing that freedom that a young horse may feel as its kicking and running in the field, confidence, movement, and a fire year brings forward a powerful passion and ambition.

The time is now to live our best lives, honoring our souls passion.

I have felt this shift, as my heart deeply enjoys unwinding with photography, nature and words both written and read. An alignment of my soul, when time stands still, my creativity overflows and I honor me.
