Currently I am taking my time in the
'IN BETWEEN'.
BETWEEN the year ending 31st December 2025,
In the WEST and the Chinese New Year beginning on the 17th February in the EAST
You too, can adopt this reframe.
I find it takes the pressure off.
It gives time to reflect on life:
- Where you are at
- Where you want to be
- How you want to spend your time and
- Who you want to spend it with for the year.
It gives us time to ponder without,
the pressure of time that says from one minute (at 12pm midnight 31st Dec) to the next (12.01pm 1st January)- a whole year is done and a new one starts.
We are moving from the year of the YIN WOOD SNAKE into the year of the YANG FIRE HORSE.
The slow methodical pace of the YIN SNAKE in 2025 and its opportunity arising from the WOOD element to give good thinking to well thought out strategies before acting on plans and goals
is shifting.
The shedding of the SNAKES skin is completing as the HORSE entered the lunar calendar on the 4th Feb.
Soon we celebrate the energetic and exciting year of the YANG FIRE HORSE on the 17th Feb
YANG – Active, Expressive, Lively, Moving forward.
FIRE – Creative, Imagination, Spontaneity, hot!.
HORSE – Sensitive, Endurance, Strength, Freedom.
This is a year with significant creative energy to move us forward as we can draw on the HORSE to navigate growth and change with sensitivity and a steady endurance.
Watch out for the fast pace of the FLAMING HORSE though in 2026 as you may create change too fast and burn out, so!
- SLOW THINGS DOWN to a mindful burning ember that remains steady and alight throughout the year.
- FOCUS on what it is you are intending for 2026, the nature to run free with the Yang Fire Horse's quick spontaneous pace may see recklessness with abandoned direction.
There has been a lot of illness in the in between, myself included- all an opportunity for the final shedding of the old and renewal of a brand new year.
Welcome 2026.
