The Year of the Horse

As 2026 opens, the Year of the Horse arrives with a new pulse. Where the Year of the Snake (2025) moved through silence, the Horse moves through breath, muscle, and horizon. This is not a year of hidden transformation. It is a year of expression, momentum, and stepping into open light carrying the truth shaped in the dark.

If the Snake taught us to shed what no longer fit, the Horse asks us to live freely inside what remains. The Horse does not question its right to run or apologize for its strength, presence, or fire. And neither should you. This year invites us to reclaim that same permission. To stop shrinking to meet old expectations. To stop dimming what has become clear within us. Freedom, authenticity, and uniqueness are no longer ideas to contemplate, but states to embody.

The Horse moves not from urgency, but from life force. The Snake revealed that clarity is born in stillness. The Horse reveals that clarity is fulfilled in motion. Sometimes direction does not come before the first step. Sometimes it appears because we were brave enough to begin. Clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes from action. This year asks us to trust aligned action, forward motion guided by the deeper self discovered in quieter seasons.

The Horse also carries the sacred current of vitality. This is a year that calls us back into the body, breath, strength, nature, and passion. The mind may still search for certainty, but the Horse reminds us that life is meant to be experienced, not only understood. There is wisdom in movement, effort, wind against the skin, and in the sacred simplicity of feeling fully alive.

Yet the Horse is not loneliness. It runs with power but remembers the herd. This year teaches us to be fully ourselves without abandoning connection. To lead our lives without needing permission. Independence and belonging become allies when we stand rooted in who we are.

If the Snake was the year of becoming honest within, the Horse is the year of becoming honest in motion.

If you feel the stirring, it is because life is already moving through you. If you feel the call, it is because waiting has reached its limit. This is not the time to negotiate with fear or delay for certainty. Movement is the proof. Action is the prayer. Run toward what is true, not because it is safe, but because it is alive. Because the real danger is not moving too fast. The real danger is remaining faithful to a life your soul has already outgrown, abandoned, and quietly left behind.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
