Every year carries a deeper pattern beneath the surface — not just in the sky, but in the body, the mind, and the identities we move through. When you understand these cycles, life stops feeling random or personal, and instead begins to feel intelligible. You stop reacting to events and start recognizing the current you’re already standing in. With the closing of 2025 and the initiation of a new cycle, this is a powerful moment to reflect on what this past year was truly asking of you — not to judge it, but to understand it.
Across numerology, tarot, lunar cycles, and astrology, 2025 consistently showed up as a year of completion and inward reckoning. A Year 9, the Hermit archetype, and the Yin Wood Snake all point to the same truth: this was not a year for forcing new beginnings, but for shedding what no longer had life. Many experienced quiet realizations, emotional processing without clear answers, fading motivation toward old goals, and a sense that something was ending even if nothing “broke.” This wasn’t failure — it was integration. A necessary pause to ask, What have I learned? What no longer needs to come with me?
Now, 2026 marks a clear shift. Numerologically a Year 1, aligned with the Magician and amplified by Fire Horse energy, movement returns — but with a warning. This is a year of initiation, direction, and momentum, yet speed without alignment becomes burnout. The invitation is not to rush, but to act from clarity. Small, embodied steps taken in the right direction will matter more than dramatic moves driven by impulse. In the full video, I break down how these archetypes show up not just symbolically, but through the nervous system, the heart, discernment, and our capacity to move with life rather than against it. If you want to understand how to consciously ride this new cycle — instead of being dragged by it — the full breakdown is now live on YouTube.
