The Year of Letting Go
2025 was a year of endings, revisions and do-overs. Relationships dissolved, plans crumbled, reversals forced new directions—but it was also a year of ideation, collaboration, and trying things out.
Frustrating as it was for many, that wasn’t the intention. The dissolution and the delays both served a purpose – to support you in releasing what no longer serves and point you to clarity.
Now, in these final weeks, pause. Honor what you’ve survived, what you’ve released, and what you’ve been quietly preparing.
2026: A Different Energy Entirely
By March, everything shifts—it’s time to act. The universe accelerates. Launch. Get in the game. 2026 is the year of activation, not revision. Expect speed as you’ve never felt before.
But first, these last two weeks matter.
New Moon in Sagittarius December 19th: Faith as Fuel
This New Moon asks:
What do you believe in? Where have you stopped trusting yourself, your recovery, your path forward?
Set an intention anchored in faith—not blind optimism, but deep knowing. Check your rising sign below to see which life area is primed for this renewal. Plant seeds there.
Winter Solstice (December 21): The Turn Toward Light
The shortest day. Ancient cultures knew this threshold as sacred—when the veil thins and messages arrive from realms beyond ordinary consciousness.
They weren’t escaping reality; they were receiving guidance for it.
As the sun sails into Capricorn, take time to tune in. Journal. Meditate. Listen. The wisdom that comes through during this pause will fuel your 2026 launch.
Happy Birthday, Capricorn
December 21st. Of course, the day with the least sunlight would mark the beginning of Capricorn Season—the archetype that can go without, that endures and moves steadily onward, eyes fixed on the goal ahead.
The Goat climbs. It’s skilled, disciplined, unstoppable. We all carry this archetype—the part of us that gets shit done.
But here’s Capricorn’s shadow: climbing the wrong mountain. Proving capability in service of someone else’s vision and achieving goals that don’t feed your soul.
As Capricorn season begins, ask yourself: Is this my mountain? Does this summit actually matter to me?
Because 2026 is coming fast. Make sure you’re aiming at something real.
