Lunar New Year

Fire Horse

Begins on February 17, 2026

When one door closes, another one opens.

But it can be h*ll in the hallway.

The impatient Fire Horse is ready to gallop into your life (his scheduled debut is the Lunar New Year). The Wood Snake slithers away as the Fire Horse roars his arrival. Yes, it could be that kind of year, but you may choose to ride the calmer, more powerfully-balanced Golden Horse. The choice is yours, not necessarily on what happens, but on how you respond to the events of 2026.

In 2026, Divine Masculine (Fire Horse) strides confidently into our lives, infusing us with the vitality and courage for new beginnings. The transformation of our world is already happening. There is no way of clinging to outworn ways of being. Don't waste time and energy trying to stuff the genie back into its bottle. Fortunately, Higher Energies are giving you a choice in how you deal with the unpredictable Fire Horse. You either try to learn how to ride him, or "trade" him in for an updated version, the Golden Horse. Both horses represent Masculine energy. One is lower energy (guess which one), and the other is aligned with higher wisdom and awareness. Imagine a gas-guzzling, noisy truck compared to a sleek, environmentally friendly vehicle.

I might keep both around. Sometimes junk food serves a purpose, but a consistent, healthy, organic diet nourishes you and the planet. 

The Divine Masculine Yang Energy has come to claim his wife, the Divine Feminine Yin. The Goddess has powerfully anchored herself in our consciousness over the past few years. The Queen is now ready to welcome her King, the higher version of male energy that many men (& women) seek. Men have been confused and sometimes angry because they fear their identity is eroding. But as goddess wisdom has been reemerging, yang energy has been undergoing a profound transformation, opening new, balanced possibilities for both men and women. It is all about nurturing our inner yin and yang for proper harmony.

Remember, powerful energy is neither good nor bad. It is how we integrate it into our daily lives that decides its identity. 

The Divine Masculine Energy reemerging in 2026 is a mirror to the Divine Feminine. They are both balanced energies. Yin and Yang need each other, and they can coexist successfully when this is understood. Many seek their Twin Flame. Yet, sometimes, the deeper spiritual meaning of Twin Flames is that the two sparks of divinity exist within each of us, the male (yang) and female (yin) within. More profound Wisdom is achieved when both our masculine and feminine selves are nourished and treasured within our energy system. And this moves us closer to the Divine Golden Energy that is illuminating our planet now.

Does the rider control the horse, or is it a mutual soul collaboration? In a perfect world, the wisdom of the rider directs the horse to a destination that serves both of them. A successful journey needs the skills, intelligence, and instincts that a horse can provide. The yang needs the yin to be complete, and vice versa. The world's turmoil needs balance and a steady hand to guide the horse's courage, strength, and determination. A wild fire horse can be transformed into a powerful golden one. A Golden Horse, embodying Sacred Inner Balance and Wisdom, can accomplish everything a Fire Horse can, plus it has added gifts and tools. Navigating a volatile world requires calmness and inner strength. 

Be wary of saviours that are fueled by the fire of ego

instead of the flame of wisdom.

(aka too many stallions in the field) 

Happy 2026!  

An added note—many light codes are being activated now,

sometimes during sleep time.

Drink a lot of pure water throughout the day.

Goddess Luna's Message

You have a choice. It is advised to choose wisely, as your decisions shape your inner strength. Passion is beautiful when channelled into positive outcomes, but when left uncontrolled, it can become a destructive fire. Be the adult in the room; allow the Divine Masculine to rule as a King, not run rampant like an angry child. Your power lies in your ability to choose wisely.  

There is a pathway for each of you to follow. The signposts are subtle and sublime, and may vary from person to person. But always know that you have direction and purpose, even if it is unclear at the moment. When explorers set sail, they do so because an inner urge compels them. Your purpose may be on a stage, or it may be a simple life of alignment. It matters not. You are all equally important in the larger blueprint of life. I send you Blessings of Love and Determination. Keep following the Sacred Breadcrumbs that lead you to where you need to go. My moon cycles remind you that light can penetrate the darkness with radiant brilliance in varying degrees. The Golden Horse spreads inspiration and uplift to all who ride him.

 Design a Sacred Ceremony using

your own words and beliefs.

Create a Sacred Intention. 

Light a Candle.

Open to the knowledge that other like-minded souls are joining

energetically to this Sacred Ceremony.

Because this Sacred Ceremony is timeless,

you can join at any time.

You are part of a Sacred Circle that is aligned with

the Highest Good of All

(which includes your Highest Good). 

Place your hands over the Heart Chakra, the energy center

located in the center of your chest.

Repeat your Sacred Intention.

Three times.

My Sacred Intention will be: 

My Inner Divine Masculine Energy balances perfectly

with my Divine Feminine.

Question for Empaths (of which I am one) 

Do you continue to burn yourself to warm others?

Or do you warm yourself first, and then share the fire?

This is your year, Empaths.

You have the opportunity to balance powerful yang energy with your yin heart.

Don't keep eating the pain of others.

Find a new approach (& diet) that serves both you and the planet.

Warm Wishes, Selene
