The Year of the Horse
What the astrology knows.
We’ve just left the Year of the Snake behind. Bye, 2025!
Now, for some crazy astro-context…
When I was pregnant with Dahlia, I had this feeling that I wanted to take a pause. Bigger than the obvious “maternity leave” pause, something internal was telling me to step away from work for a bit, to let things breathe within my business.
My astrologer, who I’ve now been doing readings with for nearly 20 years (!), gave me all the permission I needed and then some.
What she said was basically this: Everything is changing right now, evolving into something different. Not just for you, but for the world. For individuals, for businesses. On a mass level there is a new way of being and doing coming. A true paradigm shift.
As a person who always feels the need to be doing/creating I still had this nagging feeling like, but my business is so new! and I’ve had some momentum this year, wouldn’t it be crazy to just walk away now? Maybe I should just put out a tiiiny capsule collection…
Sure, she said. You could do that, but it’s not going to result in anything meaningful. If I were you I’d lean into the intuitive feeling you’re having, especially with a baby on the way.
Hmm.
Only now can I see how right she was.
Through stepping back and taking a break, I gained so much clarity. I recalibrated around my vision and saw how I hadn’t been creating what I truly wanted to create. Always easier to see in hindsight! I needed experience and time to gain the confidence to fully invest in what I wanted to do.
But beyond my own tiny experience, what feels so comforting and almost satisfying is to see it mirroring something bigger, a collective shift.
2025 was the Year of the Snake. A year of shedding, stillness, clearing. Introspection and transformation. Surely this was my experience — does it ring true for you?
And now here we all are, in the Year of the Horse.
The world is changing. And it’s not like we have it all figured out. But that’s not what the Horse is saying to me.
The Horse doesn’t need certainty.
No, this is an energy of inner power, strength, courage. Perseverance and self-trust. Forward momentum into the new and unknown — with beauty, grace, and wisdom.
And for me, a little reminder that we’re all connected, never alone.
