What is your focus for 2026?

2026 isn’t here to gently suggest change.
It’s here to expose what’s misaligned and ask you - clearly, directly - what you’re doing about it.
This isn’t about resolutions. It’s about truth, direction, and self-leadership.
If 2025 was about integration, recovery, or regrouping, 2026 is about movement. Real movement. The kind that alters how you live, not just how you think.
So before you rush ahead, pause.
Let’s get precise.
Where Do You Want Change - Really?
Not where you should want change.
Not where it sounds impressive to want change.
Where do you actually want things to shift?
Your work?
Your income?
Your relationships?
Your energy?
Your relationship with yourself?
Now the sharper question:
Where have you been tolerating what no longer fits?
Because tolerance is often the quiet killer of growth.
Where Are You Lying to Yourself?
This is where 2026 starts to matter.
Where are you:
Saying you’re “fine” when you’re not?
Calling survival “strength”?
Calling patience “alignment” when it’s really fear?
Waiting for clarity instead of choosing truth?
The most expensive lies aren’t dramatic.
They’re subtle. Repetitive. Comfortable.
And they cost you time, vitality, and self-trust.
2026: The Year of the Fire Horse
In Chinese astrology, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, beginning 17 February 2026.
Fire Horse energy is not passive.
It’s bold. Independent. Uncontainable.
This is not a year for:
Playing small
People-pleasing
Half-truths
Self-betrayal disguised as spirituality
Fire Horse years activate:
Courage over compliance
Freedom over approval
Action over rumination
If something in your life is built on suppression, 2026 will apply heat.
A Collective Year One: New Cycle Energy
Numerologically, 2026 is a Collective Year One:
2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10 → 1
Year One energy is about beginnings, identity, and leadership.
But here’s the nuance most people miss:
You don’t start a new cycle by doing more.
You start it by choosing differently.
Year One asks:
Who are you now?
What are you leading with?
What are you no longer willing to carry forward?
This is the year to plant seeds that actually match who you’ve become.
What Is Your Personal Year?
Your personal year shows how this collective energy meets you.
Here’s how to calculate it:
Day + Month + Universal Year (2026), then reduce.
Example:
1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 12 → 1 + 2 = 3
A Personal Year 3 would focus on expression, creativity, visibility, and communication.
Every number carries a different assignment:
Some years are about building
Some about releasing
Some about expansion
Some about refinement
When you know your personal year, you stop pushing against the current - and start working with it.
The Questions That Actually Matter
Sit with these. Don’t rush them.
Where are you self-abandoning to keep the peace?
Where are you self-sacrificing and calling it love?
Where are you self-sabotaging because growth feels unfamiliar?
What are you prioritising instead of yourself?
Do you have boundaries - or explanations?
Are your needs being met, or merely managed?
Is your self-care consistent, or conditional?
These aren’t moral questions.
They’re strategic ones.
Your Word for 2026
Many people choose a word for the year.
Not a goal. A frequency.
For me:
2025 was “Focused.”
Focus rebuilt my foundation - my energy, my business, my direction.
2026 is “Living.”
Not preparing to live. Not healing so I can live later.
Living as I already am.
So I’ll ask you:
What is your word for 2026?
Not the aspirational one.
The honest one.
The one that tells the truth about what’s next.
How I Work (For Those Who Are Ready to Go Deeper)
In my private containers, we also work with your astrology and Human Design not to label you, not to box you in, and not to give you more information to think about.
We extract the data that actually matters.
Your natural rhythms.
Your decision-making style.
Your energy cycles.
The environments where you thrive.
So you can plan your year, your work, and your life in a way that’s sustainable, self-led, and aligned with how you’re actually built - not how you were conditioned to function.
This isn’t about insight for insight’s sake.
It’s about application.
Insight that changes how you live.
One Final Question
If nothing external changed this year: no new partner, no new job, no new location.
How would you need to show up differently for your life to change anyway?
That answer is your focus.
A Quiet Invitation
If these questions stirred something in you and you know this is the year you stop circling and start living - I work privately with my clients 1:1.
This is deep, grounded, integrative work.
Not mindset. Not motivation. But real change that holds.
You’ll know if it’s for you, because you will feel it.
I offer a free quick call to see what’s possible for you, here. Or send me an email with any questions you have or if you’re ready to dive-in and live your best year yet!
Until next time,
Stay True, Stay Strong, Stay Aligned 🔥
