Happy New Year, my friend!
There is so much for us to catch up on, so let’s get right to it!
A Rebirth
Numerically, the year 2026 is a “1” year (2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10, and 10 reduces to 1 + 0 = 1).
The number 1 represents the energies of rebirth, a fresh start, and inspired action.
You may already be feeling it!
There is a different quality in the air now. A quiet but undeniable sense that something new is trying to be born through us.
Not later, but now.
Not because everything out in the world has suddenly become “perfect,” but because something within the human heart is remembering its strength again.
This year will bring a great deal of momentum and movement when it comes to new ideas, inventions, and creations. What felt stuck, delayed, or “not yet” can begin loosening and releasing in surprising ways.
Doors that seemed sealed shut will open now, because you finally stopped knocking on them from the outside, and instead realized: you are the one holding the key.
The intentions, actions, and deeds we choose to focus on right now, especially in the earlier part of 2026, will set the tone for what we attract, create, and experience over the next 9 years.
In other words, the energy we practice becomes the reality we live.
As we move forward, some things may still look familiar on the surface. But we are on a completely different road now than we were on during the last 9-year cycle.
It may take a little time for some to notice this. Yet those who are sensitive to energy, and those who have been doing the inner work, will recognize the shift quickly.
You may not be able to explain it logically, but you can feel it in your body, in your dreams, in the way life is rearranging itself to match what your soul has been asking for.
A “1” year is a time to plant the seeds of our desired intentions, especially for whatever we would like to create more of.
This is especially true for our creative endeavors, careers, and relationships. It is true for the ways we choose to show up in the world, and for the ways we take care of ourselves in mind, body, and spirit.
Here are some ways we can work with and integrate the energy of “1” to make this year a time of great joy and personal fulfillment:
Embracing Our Power and Becoming the Leader of Our Life
This is our time to pave the way and birth something new into the world.
Not by forcing, striving, or proving.
But by choosing, with clarity and devotion, to stop negotiating with the parts of us that are ready to evolve.
We as Lightworkers, empaths, and way-showers are being called to blaze new trails that bring humanity together. This does not always mean “doing more.”
Often it means being more present, more grounded, more anchored in Love, especially when the world tries to lure us into fear.
This is a year of action, when our inner spark is lit again.
And as that spark lights up, you may notice you no longer have the same tolerance for what drains you. The old patterns that once felt normal may suddenly feel heavy.
That is not a problem. That is guidance!
A simple practice to work with this energy:
Ask yourself each morning:
What would the most empowered version of me choose today, from a place of love?
Then follow the first gentle step that appears.
Taking Inspired Action
Over the past year, many of our dreams, visions, and projects may have felt as if they were on hold.
If this has been true for you, 2026 can absolutely change that.
However, the way the Universe often moves in a “1” year is not by handing us the whole staircase all at once. It tends to offer first one step, then another, then another . . .
Each step reveals the next.
The key is to remain open and available to taking inspired action whenever our Spirit nudges us to do so.
This is why our meditation practice, or anything that helps us create enough space in the heart-mind to hear what our Spirit is telling us, is so important.
And please remember, inspired action does not have to be dramatic.
Sometimes the most powerful action is:
Making a call
Submitting the application
Having the honest conversation
Clearing the clutter
Taking a walk
Saying No without guilt
Saying Yes without overthinking our choices
When you honor the small actions, the big shifts have room to arrive.
Allow Yourself to Shine: You Are a Star!
2026 is not the year to hide or play small.
This is the year to fully accept your magnificence, and to release the outdated stories and thought patterns your mind once adopted simply to feel safe.
Many sensitive souls learned early on in life that being visible could attract
judgment, misunderstanding, or rejection. So the mind created strategies: stay quiet, stay pleasing, stay “manageable.”
But your soul did not come here to be manageable!
You are a gift from the heavens, and it is time to align with anything that supports you in sharing your shine.
This can include taking classes, trying something new, refining your gifts, and nurturing your talents so you can use them more fully and joyfully.
And I will add this:
If you have been waiting to feel “ready,” 2026 may teach you that readiness is not something you find.
It is something you choose.
Journal Your Inspirations
2026 is a year of new ideas, visionary thoughts, and fresh inspirations.
Some of these inspirations will feel like lightning. Others will arrive like a whisper.
Either way, honor them.
As these inspirations come to you, write them down. This allows you to revisit them, strengthen them, and begin weaving them into your everyday life.
You may also notice that as you write, guidance begins to arrive in real time.
Writing can become a conversation with your Higher Self. It helps keep your ideas clear and organized, and it signals to life that you are ready to participate with whatever is trying to move through you.
Try this:
Write your idea, then ask:
What is the simplest next step to bring this into form?
And then choose to do that step within 24 hours, even if it‘s something small.
A Vortex of Light
Beginning January 1, 2026, the first of several healing vortexes will begin to shower us with an abundance of Light.
This Light will permeate us, going right to the core of every cell, fiber, and molecule of the heart and mind of humanity.
This is not a poetic metaphor. Many people will feel it physically. Some may feel energized, inspired, and clear. Others may feel tender, raw, emotional, or unusually tired.
This is because Light does not only “uplift.” It also reveals. It illuminates what has been hidden, denied, or postponed, so it can finally be healed.
This Light will cleanse old patterns, programs, and ideologies that no longer serve the greater good of humanity. Those who resist this Light may have a more challenging time moving forward, so it is important for us to send everyone Love now, even those who resist it.
When someone resists this higher Light, they are not your enemy. They are simply afraid of losing what they have identified with.
Love does not argue. Love blesses. Love holds the frequency of truth without needing to push.
Here are the key January dates for when this vortex of Light will peak. All of these dates reduce to 1.1.1 in numerology:
January 1, 2026
January 10, 2026
January 11, 2026
January 19, 2026
January 28, 2026
“Vortex” is just another word for an energetic doorway or portal.
During these dates, the planet opens her arms to receive increasingly greater amounts of Light.
These dates offer an excellent opportunity to reaffirm what we would like to create more of in our lives and in the world. Our intentions will be magnified manyfold by the potency of the energy these days carry.
A beautiful way to work with these portal days is to keep it simple:
Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly.
Take three slow breaths.
Then speak aloud one clear intention, as if it is already happening.
For example:
“I now live from peace.”
“I now choose relationships rooted in truth and kindness.”
“I now allow prosperity to be safe and natural for me.”
“I now honor my gifts, and share them with joy.”
Concise, sincere, embodied. That is where the power is.
Birthing a New Reality
The year 2026 will serve as a major turning point in our linear history (though linear time itself is an illusion).
It will allow us to witness expansion, healing, and change in our personal lives and in the world like never before.
The time is here for us to individually and collectively dissolve the veil of illusion.
This is it, my friend! The beginning of a completely new reality.
All of the chaos, fear, separation, corruption, and control we are seeing in the world right now is a manifestation of the veils dissolving.
When a veil dissolves, it can look like things are getting worse, because what was once hidden is now visible. What was once denied is now undeniable. What was once suppressed is now rising to the surface.
We can choose to remain attached to the veil, which will make things more challenging.
Or we can choose to release it and enter a new paradigm of peace, wholeness, prosperity, freedom, and love for all.
There is a lot of fear, worry, and chaos trying to hold our attention right now, which is clouding many people’s vision. It is keeping them from seeing the remarkable new blessings and changes now appearing on the horizon.
If you find yourself getting caught up in fear, be extra kind and gentle with yourself, and know you are not alone.
The way we resolve fear is to allow ourselves to honor it.
We honor fear by acknowledging it, feeling what needs to be felt, and meeting it with presence rather than resistance.
We are sensitive energetic beings, and many of us were taught to store fear somewhere deep inside the body and mind, because we simply did not want to feel it.
Yet the moment we give our feelings the time and attention they need to be fully felt and acknowledged, those feelings no longer remain a burden that controls us.
Instead, something extraordinary happens.
The feelings soften, and they bring us back to grace and peace.
Imagine what life would be like for you once you intentionally created from ease, grace, and peace!
You would free yourself to receive blessing upon blessing, because you would no longer be operating from need or desperation.
That is what is possible for us now.
The purging of heavy, dense thoughts, beliefs, and emotions we are seeing in our own lives and in the world around us is a normal part of this process.
The purging is necessary because the personal and collective mind has been using every coping mechanism it acquired during the forgetfulness era to hold tightly to old structures.
The mind has held onto beliefs, habits, traditions, and attachments it identified with, so it would not have to change the way it operates.
The mind does not like change, because it believes it will lose something, even itself, as a result.
Yet those who have been doing the inner work know this is not true.
They know that by retraining the mind to embrace and honor change, it can gain and thrive more fully than it ever could by staying loyal to old patterns of chaos, fear, separation, and lack.
The only way to move through the old patterns coming to the surface is to first acknowledge and embrace whatever emotions need to be felt, especially in the body, because that is where stagnant energy is held.
This helps the mind feel safe enough to allow old, stuck emotions to rise to the surface, so they can be witnessed and integrated.
Then the old wounds and fear patterns can finally be seen, heard, and honored.
From this space, the mind can understand we are not trying to get rid of it, shame it, or “fix” it.
We are simply allowing what needs to be seen so that it’s finally acknowledged.
This is us loving ourselves in a way that allows deep healing through love and compassion, which is what the mind has desired from us all along.
Through all of its resistance, stories, judgments, and discomfort, the mind was trying to communicate, in the only way it knew how, that it desired our love and affection.
It is time now to be the compassionate presence for ourselves and for the world that our inner child has always longed to experience.
No adult ever taught us how to be this loving presence for ourselves, because they themselves were never taught that.
But all of that is changing now.
Big Changes Ahead
The most important theme during a “1” year is flexibility: staying flexible mentally, emotionally, and physically, so we can embrace change with greater ease.
Because the most reliable thing we can expect this year is that things will change more quickly than ever.
At first, the change may seem small. But by the end of 2026, we may look back and realize we are living in a far different reality than the one we knew in 2025 and before.
Here is the gift in all this change:
We get to decide which direction we want to go in, in terms of our long-term future.
We get to become the maestro of our life now, rather than standing on the sidelines while outside influences shape what our life becomes.
And this is where the heart of January’s message becomes very practical.
Because flexibility is not passivity.
Flexibility is spiritual strength.
It is the ability to stay rooted in your truth, while allowing life to upgrade the path that gets you there.
Here are some supportive ways to work with the “Big Changes Ahead” energy, so you feel steadier, clearer, and more empowered as the year unfolds:
Choose Your Frequency Before You Choose Your Day
Before you check messages, news, or responsibilities, take 30 seconds and ask:
What frequency will I lead with today?
Peace
Courage
Clarity
Gentleness
Trust
Joy
When you choose your frequency first, you stop letting the external world assign you an identity.
Practice Clean Endings
A “1” year does not only begin things. It also reveals what you are complete with.
If something keeps feeling heavy, repetitive, or misaligned, ask:
Is this mine to carry into the next 9-year cycle?
You may be surprised by the honesty that comes through.
And if the answer is “no,” you do not have to burn everything down.
Sometimes clean endings are quiet:
A new boundary
A schedule change
A simple conversation
A new choice repeated consistently
Move the Energy Through the Body
In periods of rapid change, the nervous system needs reassurance.
One of the most loving things you can do this year is to care for your body like it is a sacred instrument that receives divine guidance.
Even a few minutes of:
Walking
Stretching
Shaking out your arms and legs
Breathing slowly into the belly
Humming or toning gently
can help your system integrate Light instead of resisting it.
Become Devoted to What Is True, Not to What Is Familiar
Many people confuse intuition with comfort.
Your intuition may actually invite you into the unfamiliar, because that is where your expansion lives.
Here’s a question to anchor you, as you face new possibilities:
Does this choice align with the truth of who I am becoming?
If Yes, you are on the path, even if the mind is nervous about change.
Let Help Be Holy
This year invites us to remember we are not meant to do life alone.
We can ask for assistance from the higher realms, from our guides, and from our Higher Self, who are always ready to share wisdom with us.
But also allow support through people, community, therapists, healers, friends, and other relationships that feel nourishing.
Receiving is part of leadership. It is not weakness. It is wisdom.
A Simple January Integration Practice
If you want one simple way to work with January’s energy, try this for 7 days:
Every night, write down:
What did I do today that honored my future?
What did I do today that honored my heart?
What am I ready to release before I sleep?
Then place a hand on your heart and say:
I am safe to begin again. I am guided. I am supported. I am ready.
Even this small practice can create profound momentum.
This empowering moment is our time to shine!
As we allow these higher energies to fill us with a new vision for this new 9-year cycle, we will know that all that is no longer for our higher good is passing away.
This is not a time to resist the new higher energies, but to allow ourselves to integrate this powerful new Light.
And please remember something important:
Integration is not always loud.
Sometimes integration looks like rest.
Sometimes it looks like boundaries.
Sometimes it looks like saying Yes to what you’ve secretly wanted all along.
Sometimes it looks like finally letting yourself be supported.
We can trust that this great river of Light coming to Earth now is leading us to the joy, peace, prosperity, and fulfillment we have dreamed of and envisioned.
Be gentle with yourself, my friend, as you integrate all that is coming to us now.
May 2026 bless you abundantly in every area of your life!
