We’re slowly closing the year — and it’s not just any year.
A Year of Vibration 9, which ends a nine-year cycle in our lives. The Year of the Snake, a year of endings, transformation, and deep inner changes.
When we look at it through the lens of astrology, everything begins to make sense.
This year, we’ve witnessed countless breakups, divorces, career changes, relocations, and complete reevaluations of life.
I’ve heard about it from every direction — it truly has been a time of profound transformation that continues even now.
Astrology and the Energy of Transformation
It’s fascinating how planetary energy mirrors these processes.
While some may still think astrology is “nonsense,” if you live in the world of energy, you know that everything is connected.
Take, for example, Mercury retrograde — a phenomenon that happens several times a year.
These are moments when the energy of communication, technology, and finance seems to “reverse,” when everything slows down or begins to behave differently.
Over the past few years, we’ve noticed that during these retrogrades, financial markets and cryptocurrencies tend to drop. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
If you feel these subtle patterns, you know that the Universe speaks to us not with words, but with energy.
The Shift from Vibration 9 to 1
We now stand between cycles — between the vibration of 9 and 1.
From the transformative energy of the Snake, we’re moving into the Year of the Horse — vibrant, dynamic, full of motion and change.
Energy will speed up, so don’t be surprised if everything suddenly starts happening faster than before.
The Universe will test what we’ve learned and whether we’ve truly integrated our karmic lessons.
This is the time to turn inward — you need to go inward — and reflect on what still needs healing.
Five planetary retrogrades at the end of this year are no coincidence.
It’s an invitation to introspection, reflection, and release of old patterns.
The Winter Solstice — A Time of Stillness and Cleansing
We’re approaching the Winter Solstice — my favorite time of year.
It marks the closing of one cycle and the symbolic opening of another.
This season is dreamy, calm, and perfect for rest and personal growth.
I always begin it with cleansing and decluttering — giving away what no longer serves me.
It’s not just about clearing space energetically — it’s also about helping someone in need.
I donate clothes and items to a mother-and-child shelter or a women’s center for survivors of domestic violence.
These are places where women often arrive with nothing — fleeing home to save themselves and their children.
Their strength of spirit is immense, but real material support can make a world of difference.
If you can, donate money, clothes, or essentials.
Especially now, as the holidays approach — it’s a beautiful act of love.
The Magic of Winter and Cleansing Rituals
Winter is the perfect time to cleanse your home and yourself.
I love rituals — salt-oil baths, incense, candles… a touch of magic, a moment of silence.
It’s the season when I love to withdraw, meditate, and reconnect with myself.
I totally embody that black cat energy – and that’s okay.
All of nature rests now — and we can too.
Winter is the cycle of stillness, regeneration, and preparation for the new life that will awaken with spring.
The Year 2026 — Vibration 1 and the Year of the Horse
So what will the new year bring?
A Year of Vibration 1 and the Year of the Horse — energy of beginnings, movement, and expansion.
If the year of 9 was about closure and purification, now the Universe hands us a blank canvas.
It’s time to act, launch new projects, connect with people, and trust yourself and your intuition.
Horses symbolize freedom, independence, and dynamism — so don’t be afraid to ride that wave.
It will be intense but filled with potential for those ready to move forward.
Vibration 1 — A New Cycle, A New “You”
The year 2026 carries the vibration of One — the number of birth, independence, and initiative.
It’s the first step of a new nine-year cycle, a moment when the Universe whispers:
“It’s time to remember who you are and why you came here.”
It’s a year of action, creativity, and manifestation.
Everything that was cleared in the previous cycle now begins to take form.
Don’t be afraid to dream, act, and make decisions aligned with your heart.
The One is the vibration of the leader within — the conscious creator.
It teaches that true power comes from authenticity and the courage to be yourself.
The Year of the Fire Horse — Astrological Energy of 2026
In Chinese astrology, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse — a fusion of Fire (passion, movement, transformation) and Horse (freedom, expression, independence).
It’s a time of acceleration, change, and bold, heart-led decisions.
Horses are wild and untamed — bringing momentum, courage, and freedom, but they also remind us to balance our inner fire so it doesn’t burn out too quickly.
This is a year when the Universe supports everything authentic, sincere, and fearless.
Relationships built on illusion may fall apart — but those grounded in truth, trust, and freedom will flourish.
For many, 2026 will become a year of new paths, new places, and a renewed sense of identity.
The Five Elements — Messages for 2026
Chinese astrology is based on five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — each representing a unique kind of wisdom and energetic expression.
🔥 Fire – The element of passion, expression, and light. In 2026, Fire leads the way. Act from the heart, let yourself shine, inspire others — but remember, fire needs direction. Balance impulse with awareness.
🌳 Wood – The energy of growth, creativity, and expansion. Wood feeds fire. This year reminds you to evolve, try new things, and reach in new directions — but never forget your roots and what keeps you grounded.
🌍 Earth – Stability, grounding, and security. Amid the fiery chaos, Earth invites you back into your body, into ritual, into nature. Stillness is not stagnation — it’s strength.
💨 Metal – Clarity, structure, and boundaries. Fire softens Metal — and that’s good. 2026 teaches flexibility: let life shape you instead of restricting yourself with rigid patterns.
💧 Water – Emotion, intuition, depth. Water cools and soothes Fire. It teaches you to listen — to yourself, to your dreams, to the quiet voice within. Sometimes the softest truths are the most powerful.
We all carry these elements within us. In 2026, notice which dominates your life — and consciously restore balance where energy flows too quickly or too slowly.

Message from the Universe
The Universe whispers: “Don’t be afraid to gallop toward the light.”
The Year of the Fire Horse reminds you that your soul came here to move, to create, to feel.
Don’t hold back the flow — let your energy move freely.
Close this year with gratitude. Cleanse your space, your body, and your mind.
Trust the process — the transformation you’re going through is not a coincidence.
The year 2026 will demand courage, speed, and readiness — but it will reward those brave enough to release what no longer belongs to them.
Use this time not only to tidy your home but to truly clear your mind.
Let go of what no longer serves you — every disappointment, every person who hurt you, every story that’s run its course.
Forgive those who’ve wounded you, because it’s not worth carrying that weight into the new year.
Forgiveness isn’t for those who hurt you — it’s for you, to free yourself.
I once heard someone say that true forgiveness means having the power to punish but choosing not to.
For me, that’s not the truth. In life, we rarely get the chance for “closure.”
True forgiveness happens when you can release your pain without justice, simply because you refuse to let darkness live in your heart.
That’s real healing — the moment you choose not to carry what isn’t yours.
That awareness is the key to healing karmic wounds — knowing that someone else’s pain is not yours to bear, and that you always have the power to choose differently.
That wisdom is gold — a doorway to a better future. Because it’s the awareness that breaks the old code upon which the Universe was written.
I know. I feel. And I know that I can choose differently. Because someone else’s pain is not mine.
Affirmation for 2026
"I am in harmony with the rhythm of the Universe.
My heart leads me where the light awaits.
Everything I desire is already on its way — arriving at the perfect time and pace".
How do you feel the energy of the coming year?
Love
Laura
