The Year of the Horse starts on 17 February. Not 1 January.
There’s a lot of excitement about the shift in energy. We’re all itching for momentum – speed, movement, things finally getting going.
But we’re still in the season of the Snake.
And fittingly, that’s about change and transformation – which also happens to be my day job, and a big part of what the past year has asked of me.
So if things feel unclear, uncomfortable, unfinished or a bit wobbly right now, that’s why. This cycle isn’t over yet.
I’m using this time to go inward. To finish what I’ve already started. To tend to the things that have been asking for my attention. To do some groundwork now so there’s more space later – and, importantly, to rest.
This is that In-Between moment.
The work has been done. The effort is there. The direction is set.
But we’re still waiting behind the starting line.
So my advice for now?
Whoa, Nelly. Rein it in.
There will be plenty of time to move – and when it’s time, we’ll be straight out of the gate.
