2026: The Year the Fire Finds You.

Gorgeous Soul,

Can you feel it?

There is a crackle in the air. A hum under the surface. That sense that something is shifting — not in a dramatic crash-and-bang way — but in a quiet, inevitable of course this is happening way.

2026 is not arriving politely. It is walking in through a Ring of Fire.

On February 17th we have the Aquarius Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse — and honestly? If ever there was a cosmic moment that whispered (and maybe shouted), expect the unexpected, this is it.

And as if that wasn’t enough, we enter the Year of the Yang Fire Horse on the very same day. Fire upon fire.

Oh my giddy aunt.

The Ring of Fire: A Doorway, Not a Disaster

A Ring of Fire Eclipse leaves that luminous halo of light around the shadow. The Sun is partially veiled, but not extinguished. There is illumination in the darkness.

And that feels important.

This Eclipse begins a new Aquarius–Leo cycle that will unfold over the next 18 months. If you think back to 2017–2019, you may see echoes. Themes revisiting. But you are not the same woman. Not the same soul.

You’ve shed. You’ve survived. You’ve grown teeth where you once had tremble.

Uranus — planet of awakening and plot twists — is active here. So yes, there may be surprises. Sudden clarity. Doors closing abruptly so others can open.

But this doesn’t feel chaotic to me.

It feels catalytic.

Like the first stone being placed on a path that hasn’t fully formed yet. You can sense it. You don’t yet see the whole road. But something has begun.

The Softness Inside the Flame

What I love about this particular Eclipse is that woven through the fire is healing.

There is a gentle current asking us to slow down. To go outside. To place our hands on the earth. To listen to our dreams. To tend to our bodies like they matter — because they do.

Nature holds medicine this year. Your intuition holds medicine this year.

Ask yourself:

• What truly replenishes me?
• Where am I exhausted?
• Where am I burning too hot?
• Where am I barely glowing at all?

Healing may not come in grand gestures. It may arrive in a walk. In a conversation. In finally honoring what your body has been whispering for months.

Enter the Yang Fire Horse 🔥

Now let’s talk about the Fire Horse.

Bold. Bright. Fast-moving.

Yang energy is external. It shows up in the world. It doesn’t sit quietly journaling about what might happen. It moves.

This is not a year of stagnation.

This is a year of:

• launching
• leading
• leaping
• finally doing the thing

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect sign, the perfect moment, the perfect alignment?

The Horse gently (or not so gently) reminds us — momentum comes after you move.

Not before.

And yes, there will be passion. Possibly conflict. Emotions running hotter. The world stage may reflect that intensity. Which is why your relationship with your own fire matters.

Let’s Talk About Your Fire

Fire is not just intensity.

It is vitality. Courage. Creative spark. Purpose.

Balanced fire looks like:
Standing up for yourself.
Following what lights you up.
Speaking from the heart while still listening.
Having energy that sustains rather than scorches.

Unbalanced fire looks like burnout. Irritation. Snapping at people you love. Exhaustion masked as productivity.

So pause and ask:
Where is my flame too low?
Where is it raging?
Where does it need tending?

This year is not about reckless burning. It is about conscious courage.

Community, Collaboration & Brave Yeses

Horse energy is social. Expansive. Curious.

This is a beautiful year to meet new people. Collaborate. Start projects. Rekindle relationships that feel a little stale.

It favors introductions. Visibility. Saying yes to experiences that stretch you.

Adventure doesn’t always mean hopping on a plane. Sometimes it’s sending the email. Joining the group. Hosting the gathering. Having the honest conversation.

Tiny brave acts. Repeated.

Setting Intentions Under the Eclipse

Solar Eclipses are like supercharged New Moons — but this one asks for open palms.

Instead of rigid goals, try:

“Guide me toward what is aligned.”
“Strengthen me for what is emerging.”
“Help me recognize the door when it opens.”

Sometimes the most powerful intention is simply willingness.

Willingness to grow.
Willingness to release.
Willingness to act.

Final Musings

2026 is not subtle. It is a year of new beginnings.
A Number 1 year. A Fire Horse year. An Eclipse year.

It asks:
Will you move?
Will you speak?
Will you trust the path even before you see it fully formed?

Now with all that chuntering let’s crack on with what your guides want to share! (Oh and for the lovely 2 people who have messaged me saying I use AI to write – my words, Spirit guidance.)

So darling one, just take a moment.  Take a moment to count your blessings.

Just breathe.  Allow your gorgeous heart to open and soften and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

OUR LADY OF RIPENING ON THE VINE

“I ask you to surrender your future thinking to me.  Although your future contains the promise of great blessings, do not let this distract you from the blessing I bestow upon you in this moment.  I ask you to open your arms to my blessings in the here and now.  You are the sweet fruit, heavy on the vine.  The time for harvest has come.  This is your time.”

Many of us who love the Holy Mother are dreamers.  We might be practical and hard-working, attending to the details of daily life and spiritual consciousness, but we have hope in our hearts.

Yet that hope may be for the future – our future, that of our children, of our planet.

This hope is a precious light that is needed in the world.  Yet our light of hope is also needed in the here and now.  

We need to be living the Divine now, not only dreaming of a more divinely aligned life in a fantasy of the future.

Live your light now; to benefit yourself and the world with your presence.  Now.  Yes, we are always growing, yet there is a readiness within you now.  

There is something within you, something of you, that is ready.  Even if the immediate reality doesn’t match a fantasy that you have once held about how life would be when you would finally share more of yourself with the world, you are still ready and this is your time to shine.  

The Mother asks you to honour the light that is ignited within you now, and to act upon it with utter faith.  The dreamers are needed in this present moment, you see.

We can help the sacred becoming, the healing of the world according to the Divine Mother’s grace, by how we choose to be at this time.  

Now is the time to trust.  There is so much waiting for you in this moment.  

Gather your harvest.  Let your divine inheritance come to you now, as naturally as fruit ripening on the vine.

You are needed.  

OUR LADY OF THE RESURRECTION

“The eternal light dwells in my heart and as you enter into my heart, held safe in my love for  you, that light becomes visible to you.  It will show you the way through any darkness, and help you understand the purpose of past suffering, so that you can let it go and be at peace, free from confusion, shame or doubt.  There is divine purpose within all that is.  You have been struggling and now it is time for rest.  Step into the light of my heart now, beloved, and let the darkness go.  The time is drawing near for your resurrection and release.”

It is a strange paradox that when we are truly open to life, we must be prepared to die many deaths before it is time for our physical life to end.  

We might suffer the deaths of relationships, of ideals, of identities, even of certain hopes and dreams.  If we can mourn these deaths, give them proper attention and due acknowledgment, grieving in whatever way is respectful and truthful, then those deaths become sacred sacrifices on the altar of new life.

If we try to rush past these many deaths, pushing them to one side out of fear that they may mean something terrible or frightening, then we will suffer more than needs be.

Perhaps we become fearful if we feel that we are not in control of life and cannot prevent its powerful unfolding, because we do not trust where life is leading us.  Then too, we miss our chance to make a sacrifice and feel more connected with life, and with death as a natural part of life.

We don’t need to be scared, we can accept that they are signs that we are growing and life is flowing.  We can even use them to gain confidence that a new direction, a new life, is calling us.  There is always so much more to come.  Always.  No matter how old we may be, or how jaded we may feel at times, there is always boundless life awaiting us.  All that is needed is a willingness for us to be open to receiving it.  

Let Our Lady of Resurrection lift you up from even the deepest sorrow and gently urge you into new light, new understanding, and new life.

Take heed, beloved, your time of darkness is swiftly drawing to a close and a new day is soon to be upon you.

Breathe, trust, embrace.

OUR LADY OF THE ROSE CROWN

“You are my child and a royal divine being.  I protect  your spiritual deeping now, as you descend further into the living divine heart, and know all to be love.  As the mysteries reveal themselves to you now, divine rapture awaits you.  I shall keep you grounded and authentic, productive in the world that needs your light, even as I guide you into ecstatic communion with  your holy nature.”

No matter where we think we are on our spiritual path, there is always somewhere, and something deeper to experience.  

You are about to enter into another level of spiritual experience.  This new level will be appropriate and healing for you – taking you naturally along in your spiritual progress.

What might be suitable for another is unlikely to be exactly right for you.  Our Lady watches over you with all knowing tenderness and fierce protection.  Only what you need, will come to you.  

In order to be prepared, we might have to be challenged in a relationship that really stretches or breaks our heart.  In that situation we are learning to love more unconditionally, to either let the relationship go or stay with it, depending on what is right for us.  

We might experience weeks, months or even  years of not really knowing, with any certainty, if we are on the right path or living the life we are supposed to be living.  In that continued crisis, we are learning how to remain present, to remain open and to learn to trust, even in the absence of clarity.  

Or perhaps everything in our life seems to be upside down; a loved one is struggling, or our own inability to resolve an issue that has troubled us deeply for some time, and is causing us to feel almost unbearable anguish.

No matter what the crisis or challenge, the way that we learned to respond and grow through it provided us with the development that we needed to be able to sustain the next level of divine experience.  

Love is the most powerful force in our universe.  It is in everything and reveals itself in unlimited ways.  

To encounter this love, to be open to it, ready to receive it and be changed, illuminated, irradiated by it.

Our Lady of the Rose Crown comes to tell you that you have been in preparation and now the time is fast approaching, or is already upon you, whereby you are opening to more divine realisation.  No matter what you may initially think, what you are being shown right now is more of the divine in its mysterious, creative, funny and unfathomable genius.

You truly are a magnificent royal child of the Divine.  Own it!

Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer – you can’t make this shit up! I invite you to allow your feelings to rise and be released, cleanse your heart and your mind and remember – you are here for a reason!  There is something you are meant to share, so please do.
