Perhaps you’re wondering like so many others I have spoken with why it doesn’t feel like the new year yet? You’ve gone through all the motions, watched the ball drop and responsibly sat down to evaluate your new year’s intentions and yet something feels off? Like we are still stuck in the heaviness and cleaning out phase from the intensity of 2025, but isn’t it over now? If you’re feeling that way, you’re not alone and while our modern Gregorian calendar tells us its time to start anew January 1st, other systems like Chinese Astrology synch up to lunisolar calendar linked with the second new moon of the year. This year that will land on February 17, 2026, and will usher in radically different energy with the year of the yang, fire, horse. Like our calendar system, much of modern society in the West is built off this artificial and often forced cycles rather than aligning with nature. Even our intentions and “goals” are fueled by the mind and what we “should” accomplish in the coming year, rather than a heart and soul focused approach which focuses on listening to the internal guidance from the soul. To counter all this, I approached thinking about my intentions for the coming year in a totally different and unique way that I loved it so much, I shared it at Temple of the Rose and Starlight House event this last weekend. Rather allowing the conscious mind to pick and choose what “should” be accomplished this year, I led a group of men and woman on an internal journey to allow their higher mind to navigate what type of intentions were in their soul’s curriculum for the coming year. This guided meditation, is something like one of those good old fashion “choose your own adventure” books from our grade school days. When the conscious mind can relax, we allow the bodies wisdom and our innate knowingness to arise. We allow the higher mind to direct and align us with our soul contracts and lessons that will lead to our soul’s evolution, often smoothly navigating through obstacles or unnecessary encounters brought forth by misalignment.
