We are entering an unprecedented energetic convergence where the Fire Horse, 1-Universal Year numerology, and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries meet in a singular, powerful archetype.
In this episode, Amanda dives deep into why this year refuses to respond to "hustle" or "effort" alone. Instead, the universe is looking for a specific energetic signature: Coherence.
In this episode, we explore:
- The Sword in the Stone: Why Arthurian legend is the perfect map for navigating the Fire Horse.
- The "Camel through the Eye of a Needle": Why authenticity and truth are the only "passwords" that work this year.
- Shadow Aspects of the Fire Horse: How to identify the difference between true momentum and reactive chaos (and how to avoid the "burnout" trap).
- The Nervous System as Gatekeeper: Why regulation is your greatest temperature gauge for success.
- Timeline Accelerations: How old patterns are "burning off" to make room for embodied authority and infinite potential.
The Fire Horse offers unbridled freedom and breakthrough energy, but it cannot be domesticated. It can only be channeled through a regulated system and a heart of integrity.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. We are going to
dive into the energy of the fire Horse. This year
is unprecedented on so many levels, energetically, astrologically, numerologically, in
(00:29):
multiple traditions, and I love how the fire horse energy
overlaps with the astrology and the numerology very clearly. There's
no contradictions. They're all aligned, and it's energy that is
about empowerment and fueling and funneling your vitality, your life
(00:53):
force with the highest integrity. While I've been contemplating the
fire horse, and I've been thinking about the fire horse
since the end of last year, fully knowing we were
still shedding at the beginning of twenty twenty six. The
Chinese lunar New Year always falls on the second new
(01:17):
moon of the year, and this second new moon in
twenty twenty six happened to be a new moon solar eclipse.
So just turn the volume up, crank the volume up,
and make it a little louder. It's more pronounced, but
it aligns also with the numerology. We're in a one
(01:37):
universal year and we have tremendous ares energy, especially with
the upcoming Saturn Neptune conjunction. At the zero point of aries,
you can see all the layers of energy symbolism. They
are fusing together in a similar archetype. And the long
(02:00):
I have meditated on and thought about this energy, when
I feel into the fire horse energy, a very clear
picture and story comes to mind, and it's the Sword
in the Stone. And if you all remember, depending on
(02:21):
when you were born, I'm born in nineteen eighty, but
I very clearly remember watching Disney's Sword in the Stone.
And when I have channeled this energy deeply, and it's
come through in dreams and meditations, in just insights and
kind of flashes of electricity, all I get is this
(02:46):
imagery of the Sword in the Stone. And I'll remind
you all of the Disney version of this story, which
I think captures it so beautiful. And the archetype here is.
The story is about young Arthur and his name is Wart.
I had to go back because I couldn't remember this.
(03:06):
This didn't come in my channeling and downloads, but I
couldn't remember his name. I just can see his little
face clearly, but his name was Wart, and he was
this overlooked orphan being raised to serve as a squire.
And this is in medieval times, and at the time
England was in tremendous conflict. There was no rightful king
(03:27):
on the throne. So this magical sword appears that is
embedded in an anvil on a stone, and there was
a decree on the stone and it said, whoever pulls
the sword from the stone is the true king of England.
And of course, if you remember in the cartoon the movie,
(03:50):
all of these really like burly knights and you know,
haughty men, very strong, very powerful physically, or people from
great lineages came to pull the sword from the stone,
and all of them fail, you know, to no avail.
They're trying to pull the sword out and it won't.
It won't budge. So then enters Merlin. And I remember
(04:14):
when I was younger being fascinated by Merlin. And the
other place Merlin appeared in Disney was in Fantasia, Like
Mickey turns into this Merlin in Fantasia as well. And
this all kind of overlaps for me. I probably was
four three, four five, I don't know, but I can
see it clearly in my mind. I was so fascinated
(04:37):
by Merlin and magic. But in comes Merlin, and he's
this wizard and he helps Arthur Wart connect with his
hidden potential and he becomes Arthur's mentor because he can
see the potential in this like scrawny little orphan kid,
(05:00):
and he starts training him. And while he is training him,
he's not training him in force and brute strength and
typical combat like the other nights. He's training him in awareness, adaptability, humility, intelligence,
(05:23):
trusting in himself. And a lot of the film is
about Arthur's training and interactions with Merlin and these magical lessons.
And here's the kicker. And this is what I had
to go back to the film and reference because I
couldn't remember, but the imagery has been so clear in
(05:44):
my mind, but I couldn't remember what prompted Arthur to
go get the sword in the first place. And it
was completely out of need. Literally, what happened was during
the tournament, Arthur needs a sword for his foster brother,
and he finds the sword that's in the stone, and
(06:07):
he goes over and says, oh my gosh, here's the sword.
The sword, let me just go get it, and he
just simply pulls it out effortlessly, without any kind of
ego or any kind of force, and you know, he
brings it to his foster brother. And the key here
is he's not trying to become king. He's not proving
(06:29):
anything or his strength. He's simply responding to a need,
responding to what's needed, responding to what is needed in
the present moment. And of course, the bigger theme here
is the strongest men couldn't pull out the sword. The height,
(06:51):
the greatest egos, the greatest legacies, the loudest, the flashiest,
the most money, fill in the blank. But what could
pull them sort out was a coherent energy, an aligned energy.
And Arthur, who becomes you know, King Arthur Camelot the
whole here we go from there and the roundtable and
so on, becomes the rightful king, and not because he
(07:14):
was the most powerful or came from the right bloodline
or lineage, but because he was the most ready, he
was the most coherent. And the sword didn't yield to force.
It yielded to resonance, to energy, to a synergy of sorts.
(07:34):
And to me, that's what we're channeling this year, not
a brute force, not approving or performative sort of energy.
It's all energetic resonance. Coherence has never been more on
(07:58):
the front line or in perative or important, at least
not in my lifetime. And I can feel it in
my body. When my body is physically out of whack, dysregulated, incoherent,
it shouts at me. It tells me when my emotions
are either really jacked up high or in a low low.
(08:21):
I don't operate from that place anymore. Mentally, when I
am consternating and in analysis, I know moving away and
stilling my mind is imperative. And then in addition to
my physical body, my emotional intelligence and feel my mental
(08:43):
capacity and cognizance, then there's the energetic body and feeling
how the energy is connected and kinnectic with my body,
and those are things that lead this year. So this
is the kind of year. The fire energy, and I'll
dive into a little bit of traditional energy around the
(09:06):
Chinese fire horse, and also the opportunities in this energy
and the pitfalls, the things to be mindful of. But
the energy in twenty twenty six between the one in numerology,
which is really a ten, which amps it up and
takes it to a higher frequency of integrity, the fire horse,
(09:30):
and the astrology on top of a multitude of other
things happening energetically and with the planets and galactically. This
year doesn't respond to effort courage alone, physical force proving
driving hunger. It responds to cohesion, steadiness, a nervous system
(09:56):
that is regulated, embodied, ready, presence, internal authority, really owning
who you are with your greatest integrity. It's kind of
like one of those years where a camel walks through
(10:16):
the eye of a needle. You know that proverb, and
I guess it's in the Bible, and I don't even
know the reference point, but it's like fitting a camel
through the eye of a needle. That's what this year
feels like. And not because it's squeezing or tiny or small,
but it also doesn't feel like everybody walks through like
(10:37):
it feels very fine tuned, and it feels like the
secret password is coherence, which is authenticity, resonance truth. Okay,
(10:57):
so back to some traditional fire horse energy and symbolism
and things that are denoted in the Chinese tradition. Classical
signatures are explosive movement, amplified independence, the disruption of stagnant structures.
I think we'll see a lot of disruption and volatility
(11:20):
this year. I think it is the year started out
if you remember world events, things that happen, I think
on the second or third of this year, the whole
year is volatile. So there will be lots of stagnant structures,
infrastructure systems that are disrupted, fierce will power, rapid and
(11:41):
sometimes chaotic change. So volatility, chaos, difficult to contain, situations
or energy, things being blown out of proportion, and also
destiny level activation. Always with the fire horse, something feels faded,
(12:02):
it feels destined, It feels like no matter what, something
is shifting, something is happening. For good, bad, or worse,
it's happening. But historically this energy has been viewed as
too powerful to domesticate. And think about that. We're talking
(12:24):
about horse energy, and if you just focus on the
medicine that horses offer us, they offer freedom, flexibility, emotional intelligence.
I mean, one of the most beautiful things about people
I know who resonate with horse medicine is they know
(12:46):
that when they get on a horse, the horse senses
their emotions, their energy, feel their readiness, their calmness, and
the horse reacts to that or responds to it, they
become one. Horse people are special people. And whether you're
a horse person out there and you've got the gift
of equine medicine and energy and that is connected to you,
(13:07):
or you know your horse people, it's a magic. You know.
It is beautiful to watch people who are connected to
such powerful animals that are so sensitive emotionally and energetically.
But this is a year where it's about unbridled fill
in the blank freedom, beauty, desire, passion. It's very expressive.
(13:31):
The energy is expressive, but when it is not funneled
through coherence and steadiness and authenticity and honesty, integrity, love, compassion,
it can burn out. And that's one of the greatest
(13:53):
shadow aspects of this year, is burnout, really burning the
candle at if both ends moving from a place of
urgency rather than true instincts and coming from clarity. So
impulsivity forced timelines, and that is something that I think
(14:17):
is imperative to consider, is when you move from urgency.
I'm very clear about that, and that is that's something
that I rarely do. Move from a place of urgency.
I'm not talking about a fight or flight mode being
an adrenaline, like if something dangerous were to happen. I'm
talking about on a regular day, not moving from a
(14:40):
place of urgency or needing immediate gratification. If I can
feel that disease and my nervous system flooded and needing
some kind of external validation, usually I will step back
and recenter myself through a multitude of self care or
(15:01):
practices or self regulation practices. Also chaos being mistaken for
momentum if things are really busy or people are really
fired up for a cause and joining the cause because
of the energy of the cause rather than the motivation
and the meaning getting swept up in big currents going
(15:27):
on in the mainstream. Reactivity, that's another big one is
reactiveness kind of exploding and reacting rather than responding. And
we'll all touch on these at one point or another.
So it's how you respond after the fact or clean
up your side of the street is part of the
(15:47):
higher expression and what you're learning from this. But this
is a year the fire horse reminds us when working
with this energy, this powerful energy, because it's a lot
of power horse power and innovation too. Like that's as
I'm saying that I'm like, there's a lot of innovation
in this energy, but it's about clean and decisive action.
(16:12):
It's about embodied leadership. There's leadership in the fire Horse energy,
and it is a bit about risk taking, but precise
risk or calculated risk, not from reactiveness. It's also a
breakthrough kind of energy where visionary ideas and back to
(16:35):
that word I used a minute ago, innovation come through
kind of you don't know until you know, you know
how when you don't know until you know, you know,
sorry for all of that you knows. Sometimes you just
get like a lightning bolt breakthrough and things come together
even though they felt like the last couple of weeks
(16:56):
they've been falling apart, and then all of a sudden,
one more bit of data shows up or idea and boom,
it all clicks. That's what this year feels like. That's
why the reactiveness like not acting prematurely, acting from fear, urgency,
external pressure, internal pressure, real or imagined. It's really finding
(17:19):
your center. It's about energetic coherence and recognition and the
field will recognize you, meaning the laws of attraction have
significantly altered. And I'd say the past two years it's
more about magnetizing in than it is about setting intentions
(17:40):
and ritual and follow through. There's something that's shifted in
the field where it's really about radiating and magnetizing, which
requires action. It's not lazy at all, it's actually kind
of ninja like precise. But the fire horse energy has
so much power that not everybody can wield it like
(18:02):
It will burn people out, people will get sick, people's
nervous systems will tank. The Earth is already erradically responding
to things that are happening with the Sun and the cosmos,
and many of us are feeling that. But the greatest
thing we can do. And I did an episode on this,
I guess it was last week, on regulating your nervous system,
(18:24):
and it resonated with so many of you. I appreciate
everybody who reached out, because right now, your physical body,
our nervous systems and physical body are the greatest temperature
gauge for coherence and funneling this year. If you're disregulated
in any sort of way, noticing that and utilizing tools
(18:48):
and resources that allow you to regulate easier and quicker,
so your nervous system is the greatest gate keeper this
year and what's happening on a collective level is a
lot of patterns and motivations are starting to burn off,
(19:11):
like old ways of doing things. Gosh, I used to
do this because I was motivated by fill in the blank.
You know. I was used to do this because I
was motivated by money, because I was afraid if I
didn't have enough money, you know. And now I have
enough money. I'm really good with my finances. Shoot, why
am I doing this? You know? Can I make some changes?
(19:35):
Or I used to behave this way because I was
worried that people wouldn't think I'm smart enough, and so
I've overcompensated in these areas. But oh my gosh, I
am smart enough, I am capable, I am qualified. Then
why am I still behaving like I'm needing to prove
something to myself or others? So whatever you're operating systems,
(20:00):
it's like the last bit of debris is burning off
from that, and this energy will burn it fast. So
there's also timeline accelerations, and I'm going to speak to
that in another episode. I've gotten a couple of emails
of people asking about multidimensional energy timelines, timeline shifting, linear time,
(20:21):
and I will talk about that as we move into March,
and good on you. A lot of people are experiencing
multi dimensional reality in linear time. That is another thing
that is only going to accelerate this year. That's why
finding your point of gravity, your core energy, your center
is imperative, and that nervous system regulation, all of it
(20:44):
feeds into the same ecosystem of coherence. One other thing
that's coming to mind on a greater scale is an
intolerance for any kind of false narratives, misaligned energy, or
(21:06):
fear narratives, or performative narratives, so or or a handful
of things that are coming up. But if it feels fake,
if it looks fake, it may disinterest you. Whereas used
to you might eat it up or you watched it
because it was good background noise. There's a lot of
things that have fallen off for me like that in
(21:26):
the last few years that I used to just watch
it because you know, some reality TV things like that,
I'd like, I don't watch any reality TV anymore. I'm
not that you enjoy your reality TV. Please, if you
if you've got your shows and things you like to watch,
please and if they bring you to light and enjoyment,
you go for it. But I found myself not invested
(21:49):
in the energy because it felt like it was bringing
me down in the reality TV I was watching, which
you know, you can take a guess the franchise that
I was invested it in for years because I loved
the entertainment, but it just it started, like my taste
buds have it evolved. It wasn't giving me the same
pleasure and satisfaction. You know, I felt that way about
(22:11):
social media for a long time, and I probably get
on social media every other day and I get on
to engage a little bit, and usually from a work
perspective versus personally because I don't even find that much
enjoyment or pleasure, even though a lot of the stuff
in my feet is pretty dark positive. So it's interesting
(22:34):
just see what is what your tolerance is shifting around
and that will evolve this year. I suspect for me,
it'll evolve even further in for you. But a period,
an era of force and brute force is shifting, and
this year, with the fire Horse momentum, you may feel
(22:56):
really wired at times but exhausted simultaneously. That's okay, that's
your system recalibrating that sense of restlessness, but being unclear
about the action to take. That's another tell tell sign.
This energy is moving through you. So instead of taking action,
(23:17):
simply to take action without clarity or discernment, let the
restlessness move through your body. Also a pressure to move,
but your body is like no, wait, and it's like hesitation.
And sometimes when I feel hesitation in my body, I
used to read it as procrastination until I realized a
(23:39):
lot of times it was my intuition saying, no, you're
not moving from the right timeline. Yet, you don't have
all the data. Yet you don't have all the that
it's not the right timing, and then boom, something would
click and it would move forward seamlessly. Also, old motivations
losing their charge or their luster. So just know that.
(24:00):
So be mindful of overriding your body urgency, trying to
force clarity over exposure to chaos and violence, whether that's
on the screen or certain dysfunctional scenarios you may be in.
You know, how can you protect your energy and maybe
(24:24):
physically you have to show up in an environment that
is busy and chaotic. I mean if you work in
an emergency room or a police precinct or you are
in our armed forces, and thank you for that. Some
people show up in jobs that are high adrenaline, intense,
chaotic pressure driven because the stakes are high, and hats
(24:49):
off to those people who do that. But make sure
that you are taking care of yourself because it can
feel even those environments that you may used to and
maybe sustainable for you. Your self care practices are going
to be even more important energetically, emotionally, physically, in physio physiologically,
(25:14):
so regulating your nervous system. I mean whether it is
cleansing and clearing your energy and with EPs and salt,
bare feet on the ground, sunlight on your face, a
walk without your headphones, an electronic detox day or weekend,
(25:34):
playing with your pet or your children, being on a
swing set. That's one of my favorite things, and that
makes me think of my big sister as anytime she
and I are together and we see a swing set,
she always says, do you want to go swing? And
there's no doubt about the question. But I have right
up the street from where we live. When I walk
straight up this hill, there's a swing set and I've
sat on it by myself two or three times recently
(25:57):
because just sitting down and swinging, it just feels good
to be in sync with myself and with that sense
of playfulness and joy. So anything that brings you joy, lightheartedness, playfulness,
that is going to help you funnel this powerful year
to be not only coherent and sustainable, but to be
(26:24):
recognizable to the field, to the energy field, and the
energy field sees you, it hears you. So just be mindful,
slow your role, especially as we shift through the first
few months of twenty twenty six, because the energy is
(26:44):
calibrating and it just gets louder and more like more
fine tuned and volatile and almost rare in the months ahead,
and it's almost like we have these calibration points and
this turning point into the fire Horse energy in this
Chinese lunar new Year that is aligned with a new
(27:08):
moon eclipse in Aquarius, which is all about future future timelines, innovation, freedom,
things that resonate with the Horse energy. It's just setting
us up for infinite potential and opportunities. But staying the
course and not getting swept away in all of the
(27:32):
rhetoric and the tides and the false narratives out there
is huge one last thing that might be helpful is
your breathing techniques. And I think I mentioned this in
one of my podcasts where I was talking about the
nervous system and how for me when I would do
my different breathing patterns my extended inhales and holding and
(27:54):
then extended exhales, that the exhale was where I struggled
and I could feel the incoherence in my energy system.
Breathing is your best friend this year, and as simple
as that sounds, breathing techniques that work for you. One
(28:15):
thing I learned when I was in my yoga teacher
training I kess in twenty fifteen was single nostril breathing
where you put, you know, a thumb on one nostril,
and you inhale through one nostril. You close the other
nostril and exhale through the opposite nostril. Sorry, I'm doing this,
and if you're listening on one of the podcast platforms
(28:35):
rather than watching on YouTube, I'm trying to do it
while I talk and that's not working very clearly. But anyway,
you close one nostril inhale through like let's say, the
right nostril, and then you close the right nostril and
you exhale through the left nostril. That is an incredible
practice on a multitude of levels for cognition, intuition the
(28:58):
pineal gland, and for regulation of multiple systems in the body,
the adrenals, parasympathetic vegas. Like I could list it all,
but that right there is a catch all. And one
other thing that I think is imperative if you're not
already doing it or aware, is your lymphatic drainage. You
(29:22):
don't have to go get a lymphatic massage to work
on draining your lymph on the daily. There are multiple
foods at and teas and things that you can drink
to help with lymphatic drainage. And there's plenty of videos
on YouTube with different you know, some are better quality
than other on how to do your mourning lymphatic drainage routine.
(29:44):
I've talked about this before. I've done this now for
the last year and a half or more pretty much
on the daily, and it's probably one of the happiest
parts of my mourning. I mean, the goofiest for sure,
but it just wakes my system up, clears all of
the stagnet energy and toxins that my physical body has
(30:05):
worked to pull out and repair through the night, and
me saying okay, I'm going to take two minutes to
cleanse and clear this energy. It helps reset me on
a daily basis, So I think daily resetting practices, whether
or in the morning, the evening, the middle of the day,
you can begin again at any time. That's also something
you know that was very clear in my yoga teacher
(30:28):
training in twenty fifteen. We can begin again at any moment.
But that's truly what this year is about. Remembering that
you can hit the reset button, and the more often
that you intentionally choose to do that, it will feel
good to your system. So just remember that this year
is about embodied authority. It's a year of precision, and
(30:52):
not everyone will move forward to only people that really
have a higher level of regulated energy and cohesive energy will.
But think back to the sword and the Stone and
thinking that this is the year where it is about
(31:12):
training and it is about your inner magic and your
energy and recognizing that the field will respond to you.
The field will see you, and it will fill in
the blanks of your greatest heart's desires, whether it's love, health, prosperity.
(31:35):
Whatever it is that you are seeking, the field will
give it to you if you are aligned and coherent.
Happy New Year everyone here, so the fire horse be well.

Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. We are going to
dive into the energy of the fire Horse. This year
is unprecedented on so many levels, energetically, astrologically, numerologically, in
(00:29):
multiple traditions, and I love how the fire horse energy
overlaps with the astrology and the numerology very clearly. There's
no contradictions. They're all aligned, and it's energy that is
about empowerment and fueling and funneling your vitality, your life
(00:53):
force with the highest integrity. While I've been contemplating the
fire horse, and I've been thinking about the fire horse
since the end of last year, fully knowing we were
still shedding at the beginning of twenty twenty six. The
Chinese lunar New Year always falls on the second new
(01:17):
moon of the year, and this second new moon in
twenty twenty six happened to be a new moon solar eclipse.
So just turn the volume up, crank the volume up,
and make it a little louder. It's more pronounced, but
it aligns also with the numerology. We're in a one
(01:37):
universal year and we have tremendous ares energy, especially with
the upcoming Saturn Neptune conjunction. At the zero point of aries,
you can see all the layers of energy symbolism. They
are fusing together in a similar archetype. And the long
(02:00):
I have meditated on and thought about this energy, when
I feel into the fire horse energy, a very clear
picture and story comes to mind, and it's the Sword
in the Stone. And if you all remember, depending on
(02:21):
when you were born, I'm born in nineteen eighty, but
I very clearly remember watching Disney's Sword in the Stone.
And when I have channeled this energy deeply, and it's
come through in dreams and meditations, in just insights and
kind of flashes of electricity, all I get is this
(02:46):
imagery of the Sword in the Stone. And I'll remind
you all of the Disney version of this story, which
I think captures it so beautiful. And the archetype here is.
The story is about young Arthur and his name is Wart.
I had to go back because I couldn't remember this.
(03:06):
This didn't come in my channeling and downloads, but I
couldn't remember his name. I just can see his little
face clearly, but his name was Wart, and he was
this overlooked orphan being raised to serve as a squire.
And this is in medieval times, and at the time
England was in tremendous conflict. There was no rightful king
(03:27):
on the throne. So this magical sword appears that is
embedded in an anvil on a stone, and there was
a decree on the stone and it said, whoever pulls
the sword from the stone is the true king of England.
And of course, if you remember in the cartoon the movie,
(03:50):
all of these really like burly knights and you know,
haughty men, very strong, very powerful physically, or people from
great lineages came to pull the sword from the stone,
and all of them fail, you know, to no avail.
They're trying to pull the sword out and it won't.
It won't budge. So then enters Merlin. And I remember
(04:14):
when I was younger being fascinated by Merlin. And the
other place Merlin appeared in Disney was in Fantasia, Like
Mickey turns into this Merlin in Fantasia as well. And
this all kind of overlaps for me. I probably was
four three, four five, I don't know, but I can
see it clearly in my mind. I was so fascinated
(04:37):
by Merlin and magic. But in comes Merlin, and he's
this wizard and he helps Arthur Wart connect with his
hidden potential and he becomes Arthur's mentor because he can
see the potential in this like scrawny little orphan kid,
(05:00):
and he starts training him. And while he is training him,
he's not training him in force and brute strength and
typical combat like the other nights. He's training him in awareness, adaptability, humility, intelligence,
(05:23):
trusting in himself. And a lot of the film is
about Arthur's training and interactions with Merlin and these magical lessons.
And here's the kicker. And this is what I had
to go back to the film and reference because I
couldn't remember, but the imagery has been so clear in
(05:44):
my mind, but I couldn't remember what prompted Arthur to
go get the sword in the first place. And it
was completely out of need. Literally, what happened was during
the tournament, Arthur needs a sword for his foster brother,
and he finds the sword that's in the stone, and
(06:07):
he goes over and says, oh my gosh, here's the sword.
The sword, let me just go get it, and he
just simply pulls it out effortlessly, without any kind of
ego or any kind of force, and you know, he
brings it to his foster brother. And the key here
is he's not trying to become king. He's not proving
(06:29):
anything or his strength. He's simply responding to a need,
responding to what's needed, responding to what is needed in
the present moment. And of course, the bigger theme here
is the strongest men couldn't pull out the sword. The height,
(06:51):
the greatest egos, the greatest legacies, the loudest, the flashiest,
the most money, fill in the blank. But what could
pull them sort out was a coherent energy, an aligned energy.
And Arthur, who becomes you know, King Arthur Camelot the
whole here we go from there and the roundtable and
so on, becomes the rightful king, and not because he
(07:14):
was the most powerful or came from the right bloodline
or lineage, but because he was the most ready, he
was the most coherent. And the sword didn't yield to force.
It yielded to resonance, to energy, to a synergy of sorts.
(07:34):
And to me, that's what we're channeling this year, not
a brute force, not approving or performative sort of energy.
It's all energetic resonance. Coherence has never been more on
(07:58):
the front line or in perative or important, at least
not in my lifetime. And I can feel it in
my body. When my body is physically out of whack, dysregulated, incoherent,
it shouts at me. It tells me when my emotions
are either really jacked up high or in a low low.
(08:21):
I don't operate from that place anymore. Mentally, when I
am consternating and in analysis, I know moving away and
stilling my mind is imperative. And then in addition to
my physical body, my emotional intelligence and feel my mental
(08:43):
capacity and cognizance, then there's the energetic body and feeling
how the energy is connected and kinnectic with my body,
and those are things that lead this year. So this
is the kind of year. The fire energy, and I'll
dive into a little bit of traditional energy around the
(09:06):
Chinese fire horse, and also the opportunities in this energy
and the pitfalls, the things to be mindful of. But
the energy in twenty twenty six between the one in numerology,
which is really a ten, which amps it up and
takes it to a higher frequency of integrity, the fire horse,
(09:30):
and the astrology on top of a multitude of other
things happening energetically and with the planets and galactically. This
year doesn't respond to effort courage alone, physical force proving
driving hunger. It responds to cohesion, steadiness, a nervous system
(09:56):
that is regulated, embodied, ready, presence, internal authority, really owning
who you are with your greatest integrity. It's kind of
like one of those years where a camel walks through
(10:16):
the eye of a needle. You know that proverb, and
I guess it's in the Bible, and I don't even
know the reference point, but it's like fitting a camel
through the eye of a needle. That's what this year
feels like. And not because it's squeezing or tiny or small,
but it also doesn't feel like everybody walks through like
(10:37):
it feels very fine tuned, and it feels like the
secret password is coherence, which is authenticity, resonance truth. Okay,
(10:57):
so back to some traditional fire horse energy and symbolism
and things that are denoted in the Chinese tradition. Classical
signatures are explosive movement, amplified independence, the disruption of stagnant structures.
I think we'll see a lot of disruption and volatility
(11:20):
this year. I think it is the year started out
if you remember world events, things that happen, I think
on the second or third of this year, the whole
year is volatile. So there will be lots of stagnant structures,
infrastructure systems that are disrupted, fierce will power, rapid and
(11:41):
sometimes chaotic change. So volatility, chaos, difficult to contain, situations
or energy, things being blown out of proportion, and also
destiny level activation. Always with the fire horse, something feels faded,
(12:02):
it feels destined, It feels like no matter what, something
is shifting, something is happening. For good, bad, or worse,
it's happening. But historically this energy has been viewed as
too powerful to domesticate. And think about that. We're talking
(12:24):
about horse energy, and if you just focus on the
medicine that horses offer us, they offer freedom, flexibility, emotional intelligence.
I mean, one of the most beautiful things about people
I know who resonate with horse medicine is they know
(12:46):
that when they get on a horse, the horse senses
their emotions, their energy, feel their readiness, their calmness, and
the horse reacts to that or responds to it, they
become one. Horse people are special people. And whether you're
a horse person out there and you've got the gift
of equine medicine and energy and that is connected to you,
(13:07):
or you know your horse people, it's a magic. You know.
It is beautiful to watch people who are connected to
such powerful animals that are so sensitive emotionally and energetically.
But this is a year where it's about unbridled fill
in the blank freedom, beauty, desire, passion. It's very expressive.
(13:31):
The energy is expressive, but when it is not funneled
through coherence and steadiness and authenticity and honesty, integrity, love, compassion,
it can burn out. And that's one of the greatest
(13:53):
shadow aspects of this year, is burnout, really burning the
candle at if both ends moving from a place of
urgency rather than true instincts and coming from clarity. So
impulsivity forced timelines, and that is something that I think
(14:17):
is imperative to consider, is when you move from urgency.
I'm very clear about that, and that is that's something
that I rarely do. Move from a place of urgency.
I'm not talking about a fight or flight mode being
an adrenaline, like if something dangerous were to happen. I'm
talking about on a regular day, not moving from a
(14:40):
place of urgency or needing immediate gratification. If I can
feel that disease and my nervous system flooded and needing
some kind of external validation, usually I will step back
and recenter myself through a multitude of self care or
(15:01):
practices or self regulation practices. Also chaos being mistaken for
momentum if things are really busy or people are really
fired up for a cause and joining the cause because
of the energy of the cause rather than the motivation
and the meaning getting swept up in big currents going
(15:27):
on in the mainstream. Reactivity, that's another big one is
reactiveness kind of exploding and reacting rather than responding. And
we'll all touch on these at one point or another.
So it's how you respond after the fact or clean
up your side of the street is part of the
(15:47):
higher expression and what you're learning from this. But this
is a year the fire horse reminds us when working
with this energy, this powerful energy, because it's a lot
of power horse power and innovation too. Like that's as
I'm saying that I'm like, there's a lot of innovation
in this energy, but it's about clean and decisive action.
(16:12):
It's about embodied leadership. There's leadership in the fire Horse energy,
and it is a bit about risk taking, but precise
risk or calculated risk, not from reactiveness. It's also a
breakthrough kind of energy where visionary ideas and back to
(16:35):
that word I used a minute ago, innovation come through
kind of you don't know until you know, you know
how when you don't know until you know, you know,
sorry for all of that you knows. Sometimes you just
get like a lightning bolt breakthrough and things come together
even though they felt like the last couple of weeks
(16:56):
they've been falling apart, and then all of a sudden,
one more bit of data shows up or idea and boom,
it all clicks. That's what this year feels like. That's
why the reactiveness like not acting prematurely, acting from fear, urgency,
external pressure, internal pressure, real or imagined. It's really finding
(17:19):
your center. It's about energetic coherence and recognition and the
field will recognize you, meaning the laws of attraction have
significantly altered. And I'd say the past two years it's
more about magnetizing in than it is about setting intentions
(17:40):
and ritual and follow through. There's something that's shifted in
the field where it's really about radiating and magnetizing, which
requires action. It's not lazy at all, it's actually kind
of ninja like precise. But the fire horse energy has
so much power that not everybody can wield it like
(18:02):
It will burn people out, people will get sick, people's
nervous systems will tank. The Earth is already erradically responding
to things that are happening with the Sun and the cosmos,
and many of us are feeling that. But the greatest
thing we can do. And I did an episode on this,
I guess it was last week, on regulating your nervous system,
(18:24):
and it resonated with so many of you. I appreciate
everybody who reached out, because right now, your physical body,
our nervous systems and physical body are the greatest temperature
gauge for coherence and funneling this year. If you're disregulated
in any sort of way, noticing that and utilizing tools
(18:48):
and resources that allow you to regulate easier and quicker,
so your nervous system is the greatest gate keeper this
year and what's happening on a collective level is a
lot of patterns and motivations are starting to burn off,
(19:11):
like old ways of doing things. Gosh, I used to
do this because I was motivated by fill in the blank.
You know. I was used to do this because I
was motivated by money, because I was afraid if I
didn't have enough money, you know. And now I have
enough money. I'm really good with my finances. Shoot, why
am I doing this? You know? Can I make some changes?
(19:35):
Or I used to behave this way because I was
worried that people wouldn't think I'm smart enough, and so
I've overcompensated in these areas. But oh my gosh, I
am smart enough, I am capable, I am qualified. Then
why am I still behaving like I'm needing to prove
something to myself or others? So whatever you're operating systems,
(20:00):
it's like the last bit of debris is burning off
from that, and this energy will burn it fast. So
there's also timeline accelerations, and I'm going to speak to
that in another episode. I've gotten a couple of emails
of people asking about multidimensional energy timelines, timeline shifting, linear time,
(20:21):
and I will talk about that as we move into March,
and good on you. A lot of people are experiencing
multi dimensional reality in linear time. That is another thing
that is only going to accelerate this year. That's why
finding your point of gravity, your core energy, your center
is imperative, and that nervous system regulation, all of it
(20:44):
feeds into the same ecosystem of coherence. One other thing
that's coming to mind on a greater scale is an
intolerance for any kind of false narratives, misaligned energy, or
(21:06):
fear narratives, or performative narratives, so or or a handful
of things that are coming up. But if it feels fake,
if it looks fake, it may disinterest you. Whereas used
to you might eat it up or you watched it
because it was good background noise. There's a lot of
things that have fallen off for me like that in
(21:26):
the last few years that I used to just watch
it because you know, some reality TV things like that,
I'd like, I don't watch any reality TV anymore. I'm
not that you enjoy your reality TV. Please, if you
if you've got your shows and things you like to watch,
please and if they bring you to light and enjoyment,
you go for it. But I found myself not invested
(21:49):
in the energy because it felt like it was bringing
me down in the reality TV I was watching, which
you know, you can take a guess the franchise that
I was invested it in for years because I loved
the entertainment, but it just it started, like my taste
buds have it evolved. It wasn't giving me the same
pleasure and satisfaction. You know, I felt that way about
(22:11):
social media for a long time, and I probably get
on social media every other day and I get on
to engage a little bit, and usually from a work
perspective versus personally because I don't even find that much
enjoyment or pleasure, even though a lot of the stuff
in my feet is pretty dark positive. So it's interesting
(22:34):
just see what is what your tolerance is shifting around
and that will evolve this year. I suspect for me,
it'll evolve even further in for you. But a period,
an era of force and brute force is shifting, and
this year, with the fire Horse momentum, you may feel
(22:56):
really wired at times but exhausted simultaneously. That's okay, that's
your system recalibrating that sense of restlessness, but being unclear
about the action to take. That's another tell tell sign.
This energy is moving through you. So instead of taking action,
(23:17):
simply to take action without clarity or discernment, let the
restlessness move through your body. Also a pressure to move,
but your body is like no, wait, and it's like hesitation.
And sometimes when I feel hesitation in my body, I
used to read it as procrastination until I realized a
(23:39):
lot of times it was my intuition saying, no, you're
not moving from the right timeline. Yet, you don't have
all the data. Yet you don't have all the that
it's not the right timing, and then boom, something would
click and it would move forward seamlessly. Also, old motivations
losing their charge or their luster. So just know that.
(24:00):
So be mindful of overriding your body urgency, trying to
force clarity over exposure to chaos and violence, whether that's
on the screen or certain dysfunctional scenarios you may be in.
You know, how can you protect your energy and maybe
(24:24):
physically you have to show up in an environment that
is busy and chaotic. I mean if you work in
an emergency room or a police precinct or you are
in our armed forces, and thank you for that. Some
people show up in jobs that are high adrenaline, intense,
chaotic pressure driven because the stakes are high, and hats
(24:49):
off to those people who do that. But make sure
that you are taking care of yourself because it can
feel even those environments that you may used to and
maybe sustainable for you. Your self care practices are going
to be even more important energetically, emotionally, physically, in physio physiologically,
(25:14):
so regulating your nervous system. I mean whether it is
cleansing and clearing your energy and with EPs and salt,
bare feet on the ground, sunlight on your face, a
walk without your headphones, an electronic detox day or weekend,
(25:34):
playing with your pet or your children, being on a
swing set. That's one of my favorite things, and that
makes me think of my big sister as anytime she
and I are together and we see a swing set,
she always says, do you want to go swing? And
there's no doubt about the question. But I have right
up the street from where we live. When I walk
straight up this hill, there's a swing set and I've
sat on it by myself two or three times recently
(25:57):
because just sitting down and swinging, it just feels good
to be in sync with myself and with that sense
of playfulness and joy. So anything that brings you joy, lightheartedness, playfulness,
that is going to help you funnel this powerful year
to be not only coherent and sustainable, but to be
(26:24):
recognizable to the field, to the energy field, and the
energy field sees you, it hears you. So just be mindful,
slow your role, especially as we shift through the first
few months of twenty twenty six, because the energy is
(26:44):
calibrating and it just gets louder and more like more
fine tuned and volatile and almost rare in the months ahead,
and it's almost like we have these calibration points and
this turning point into the fire Horse energy in this
Chinese lunar new Year that is aligned with a new
(27:08):
moon eclipse in Aquarius, which is all about future future timelines, innovation, freedom,
things that resonate with the Horse energy. It's just setting
us up for infinite potential and opportunities. But staying the
course and not getting swept away in all of the
(27:32):
rhetoric and the tides and the false narratives out there
is huge one last thing that might be helpful is
your breathing techniques. And I think I mentioned this in
one of my podcasts where I was talking about the
nervous system and how for me when I would do
my different breathing patterns my extended inhales and holding and
(27:54):
then extended exhales, that the exhale was where I struggled
and I could feel the incoherence in my energy system.
Breathing is your best friend this year, and as simple
as that sounds, breathing techniques that work for you. One
(28:15):
thing I learned when I was in my yoga teacher
training I kess in twenty fifteen was single nostril breathing
where you put, you know, a thumb on one nostril,
and you inhale through one nostril. You close the other
nostril and exhale through the opposite nostril. Sorry, I'm doing this,
and if you're listening on one of the podcast platforms
(28:35):
rather than watching on YouTube, I'm trying to do it
while I talk and that's not working very clearly. But anyway,
you close one nostril inhale through like let's say, the
right nostril, and then you close the right nostril and
you exhale through the left nostril. That is an incredible
practice on a multitude of levels for cognition, intuition the
(28:58):
pineal gland, and for regulation of multiple systems in the body,
the adrenals, parasympathetic vegas. Like I could list it all,
but that right there is a catch all. And one
other thing that I think is imperative if you're not
already doing it or aware, is your lymphatic drainage. You
(29:22):
don't have to go get a lymphatic massage to work
on draining your lymph on the daily. There are multiple
foods at and teas and things that you can drink
to help with lymphatic drainage. And there's plenty of videos
on YouTube with different you know, some are better quality
than other on how to do your mourning lymphatic drainage routine.
(29:44):
I've talked about this before. I've done this now for
the last year and a half or more pretty much
on the daily, and it's probably one of the happiest
parts of my mourning. I mean, the goofiest for sure,
but it just wakes my system up, clears all of
the stagnet energy and toxins that my physical body has
(30:05):
worked to pull out and repair through the night, and
me saying okay, I'm going to take two minutes to
cleanse and clear this energy. It helps reset me on
a daily basis, So I think daily resetting practices, whether
or in the morning, the evening, the middle of the day,
you can begin again at any time. That's also something
you know that was very clear in my yoga teacher
(30:28):
training in twenty fifteen. We can begin again at any moment.
But that's truly what this year is about. Remembering that
you can hit the reset button, and the more often
that you intentionally choose to do that, it will feel
good to your system. So just remember that this year
is about embodied authority. It's a year of precision, and
(30:52):
not everyone will move forward to only people that really
have a higher level of regulated energy and cohesive energy will.
But think back to the sword and the Stone and
thinking that this is the year where it is about
(31:12):
training and it is about your inner magic and your
energy and recognizing that the field will respond to you.
The field will see you, and it will fill in
the blanks of your greatest heart's desires, whether it's love, health, prosperity.
(31:35):
Whatever it is that you are seeking, the field will
give it to you if you are aligned and coherent.
Happy New Year everyone here, so the fire horse be well.
