The Fire Horse of 2026 - Whats in Store

I'm arranging my reading as a 12 step heroes journey.

Understanding that readings about the future don't follow our timescales and readings month by month may skew. I envisage instead a gallop around 12 themes of life and the lessons associated

Step 1 - Present Moment

Theme is 6 of Pentacles

Lesson is Sacrifice

What must be sacrified for balance?

Where do I overgive? How do I receive generosity. Am I accepting charity and how do i feel about this? Am I at the mercy of others? How is Karma playing out in my life.

My heart is the only worthy offering I can bring and this offering will be returned tenfold. Life has been generous to me in so many ways.

I wonder if this is connected to what's going right now with my mother in hospital after her stroke and feeling at the mercy of charity from others - Katie's ability to care and to visit, Alice's ability to offer practical assistance, Alex as my PoA. I hate to ask for help and all 3 are asserting boundaries.

Do I sacrifice my life here to offer my heart? Do I sacrifice my idea that friends will support me, that my mother can be rescued, that a happy ending for us is possible. Do I give more in my life here knowing that there will be balance offered at home. Do I sacrifice my desire to people please. To make everyone like me by 'doing the right thing'. This is a puzzle for me to know the right direction and this reading hasn't helped.

Step 2

Theme is Ace of Swords

Lesson is Magic and Owl

Clarity is on its way - a breakthough, a new idea. Perhaps about my mother, perhaps something else. It's the beginning of a journey but energy is building.

I will as a result learn to see the world through the eyes of wonder and awe. I will witness the synchronistic dance of events, signs and symbols. Spirit co-creates my world with me in sacred partnership. I will learn how to observe every detail, be grateful to be shown what I have not wanted to see. I did not want to see how unkind and really self-serving my friend was all this. So desperate as I was for any friend. I've seen every friend fall from my life, must I really lose them all? I see now like the scales have fallen from my eyes every word that jarred every sentiment that laned awkwardly and painfully, which I ignored not wanting to confront this painful truth. That i trigger something in people, I bring up something in them that causes projection and pain.

Step 3

Theme is Ten of Cups

Lesson is Giveaway

Emotional abundance, harmony. A sense of wholeness and completion comes. An invitation to follow my heart and trust my intuition to lead me to opportunities aligned with my highest good. Maybe not the path I expected, maybe I must release the path of successful, recognised shaman, but the path aligned with my real values.

And perhaps this moment comes for me simply through gratitude and the realisation of what I have. The gifts I have and can offer without attachment and expecting anything back. Gifting what is most precious - my authentic self and love

Step 4

Theme is The Tower

Lesson is The Sun

Next comes chaos and breakdown, disruption from routines and liberation from limiting beliefs. A loss that removes what no longer serves. Death of a loved one. Perhaps this is my mother passing. Just as I'm comfortable and cosy in my ten of cups here comes death and change to shake me to my core. The structure must self-destruct so I can rebuild my core from the ground up. It happens for me not to me, now the real growth can begin.

And here is the sun - calling my passion forward, making me come out and share my light with the world. Its the only way forward through death and destruction.

Step 6

Theme is Ace of Wands

Lesson is The Eagle

I am through the storm and now I move into fresh new energy, a new beginning. Pure potential is here, a whole world of possibility. A new project or path calls and I can pursue my passion. It's time to listen to my instincts and follow my gut.

The eagle comes from the east, the rising sun, from new beginings. She soars high and sees the smallest detail without ever losong the bigger picture. There are no obstacles only opportunities. She calles me to ascend, acquite perspective. Fly wing to wing with Great Spirit.

Step 5

Theme is King of Cups

Lesson is The Tree of Life

Conditions may be turbulent but I stay calm and balanced, open to my emotions without being overwhelmed. Led by self-energy. Life has served a curve ball but my maturity and stability caies me through. I am firm on my boundaries.

My lesson is balance, to be whole in life I need deep roots and high branches. If I'm too much in my head, i connect to my body, if stuck in my daily life I can open my third eye to envision. My roots and branches are aligned with my hearts longings.

Step 7

Theme is Judgement

Lesson is The Middle World

And that energy burst brings me to my higher calling, to my spiritual wake-up call and path. Fear, stagnation and death consciousness will be left behind. Burdens will be laid down. I am now on a path to serve my highest good. I am realising my destiny, to be so much more than I thought I could be. The pieces of all the puzzles come together at last and possibly a big decision is needed to be made. But there is integration of all my aspects that will bring deep healing. I will find my absolution and leave behind all regrets and wrong doings.

I may learn to ask for help from spirit guides, I may learn how to bring all worlds into alignmment so that I can move forward easily, when things look like they would otherwise be challenging. Something starts to flow and I learn what that looks like.

Step 8

Theme is Eight of Swords

Lesson is The Rainbow

Now power is in motion and my thoughts run away from me. Am I up to this, can I do it, what if I fail. I feel stuck, helpless but only in a cage of my own making, my limiting beliefs rising again to keep me stuck and away from my destiny. I can change my reality and shift my circumstances. I have the resources I just need to use them.

And I remember that I am The Bridge - between the spiritual and the middle world. Things may seem hard but the end is near, things are about to take a positive turn. The dawn is coming and lights the rainbow path to my spirtual destiny.

Step 9

Theme is Knight of Pentacles

Lesson is The Rattle

And now I am ready to do the work. Methodical, productive, working towards my goals. My spiritual path as a field being ploughed. Consistency, dedication is required. I plod along and my plan will come to fruition.

Am my tools are those of spirit, working with the divine, stepping consciously into partnership, Courageously, mindfully. Here I am doing my work, the work of spirit.

Step 10

Theme is Queen of Wands

Lesson is The Rainmaker

I step into my personal radiance. Embodying the feminine fire of creativity, passion, vitality. The natural leader who balances, nurtures and inspires. I am independent and self trusting.

I learn the power of manifestation of abundance. I call on the elements of nature to serve the greater good. I do not holdback I create something new from the seeds I carry.

Step 11

Theme is Knight of Swords

Lesson is The Ghost Dance

Surging ahead with new ideas. Bold action is being taken. Events are moving quickly now and my fast intellect needs to keep pace. I can cut through any confusion, I can be assertive in the pursuit of my dreams. My goals are being met by the actions I'm taking.

In doing so I learn to release the ghosts of the past, the aspects of lineage that have been holding me back. I stop repeating old stories and old curses and embrace my own new story. I move forward with my ancestry only in terms of what serves me. My ancestors align to help me in my work and in releasing them from their painful stories too.

Step 12 - the Return with the Elixir

Theme is Knight of Cups

Lesson is Soul Retrieval

And now I am following my heart, inspired by my passion, leading with my emotions. My heart is my offering. I am a messenger. No longer charging, slow and graceful, connected to my heart and extending my kindness and compassion. I share myself freely with myself and with others. I know what I want to create and can move forward with this. I have a beuatiful vision and I'm bringing it into being.

And in so doing my essence is returned to me, my elixir - a part that had innocence, energy, enthhusiasm. I recover my chirons wound and learn how to use this in my work. And then my true nature, the self that never left the garden of eden. No longer fragmented I am finally returned to wholeness. My pain no longer troubles me, I am liberated and my work is soul retrieval of others now. Whoever needs it I can help return people to wholeness.

And now the guidance for the journey

What archetype opposes my growth this year? Where is the grit that sharpens me?

Earth

Stop doing and start being. Appreciate my gifts. The Universe is working with me and I have to stop believing that I need to control, plan and worry about every detail. I must slow down and stay in connection to the earth. Walk on the beach, swim in the ocean, lie in the sun, drink water. Follow joy, simplicity and the connection I already have with the earth. This is where I struggle, this is where I have to keep remembering.

The Ally I overlook. The resource already with me that I overlook.

9 of Earth

I already know the way, I always have and I always will. I'm a pilgrim guided my stars and by the earths electromagnetic fields. I know who I am and where I am supposed to be. When I accept and understand myself then I am already there. I am a guide. And I can find my way through any terrain.

How will my body experience this year

The Devil

My body it seems, continues to ear the brunt of my excesses, my addictions. My instant gratifcation needs. The body can bring my negative influences and consequences into the light of consciousness. It may take strength and willpower.

The Financial Current. The Energetic truth about money this year

The Sun + The Reunion

Hard work and diligence will pay off, leading to stability and a secure financial outlook. There is abundance, Financial success. Prosperity. Maintain a joyful and optimistic outlook toward money to help attract further opportunities. I may have enough to share or be generous. A 'bright' financial future.

Financial prosperity comes from opening up, from collaborating and being in relationship. I am not in competition. I can reveal my beauty and attract the success and attention of those who are drawn to me.

The Spiritual Axis - what higher intelligence guides this arc? What ancestral or unconscious pattern must be cleared?

Self-exploration guides. The Gatherer must be cleared.

Recall the stories of long ago - of losing and finding, the depths and the heights, redemption and loneliness. This is a voyage of self-discovery. It began long long ago when I first pulled this card and has been my guide ever since. The journey is always within. It brings healing to old wounds and light to inner darkness. The land speaks and goddess speaks through every grain of sand and leaf.

I clear the notion of scarcity, there is abundance all around me yet I am conditioned to believe I have nothing and must stockpile, gather for a bleak winter. These ideas colour my destiny and limit my choices. I release these limiting beliefs. I do not need to gather for I am a rainmaker and everything I touch grows.

The False Quest. What temptation derails my journey?

Two of Pentacles

Duality. Busyness. Juggling my priorities. Getting caught in the day to day and losing sight of my big picture. I can get caught up in trying to juggle my resonance work and my natureminf-ed leadership consulting work. I don't know how to prioritise and I can get stuck in a loop feeling like I have to choose. I think this is a distraction.

Who am I becoming on this journey?

Goddess of fire + The Fertile Void

The fabled outcast now returning with wisdom from the underworld. Betrayed by family and her tribe she returns with magic that mends and heals wrongdoings. The Firekeeper, giver of comfort and joy.

Part of myself and my life will cut off and die, a death of self or what was. My old life will completely sever this year and that will allow for new beginnings. Endings of what once seemed so important. I will honour these endings so that the fresh growth can be real and true.

The North Star that guides my journey

Rhythm: tune into the natural rhythm of life + Plant Yourself Here.

I am invited to commit fully to my life as a soul having a human experience. Commit to my humanity and my expansion at once. the Tree of Life - deep roots in the earth and branches in the heavens. Embrace it all - middle worlds as the calibration of heaven and the underworld. Let my soul land and occupy every cell of my being, Drop the walls. Life is here and death is here too. I came here to birth this world anew, remember?

Listen to the earth and to the way the goddess speaks. She hears your voice through your authentic being, Feel the pulse of life. Tune in. Be truly alive. In the tune of the universe I am a beat. Wihtout my beat the rhythm would be lost. Beat my drum to be heard. Its time to play my part in the cosmic orchestra.
