2026: Entering the One Year

2026 is a One Year (2+0+2+6 =10, 1+0=1), the beginning of a new nine-year cycle. When a new year begins, we often place an expectation on ourselves to jump into what is next and start something new. Yet have we allowed what has come before to reach a sense of completion? Are we allowing things that have ended, the time to settle?

I’ve been speaking on, exploring, and working with the between cycles space - the period between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox - to complete an 'audit' of the last 9 year cycle, and acknowledge what has ended, what has shifted and what is integrating. The One Year doesn't ask us to rush forward and have everything figured out. It asks for presence to assist us with aligning with a new highest timeline.

The Nine Year Cycle and What Is Being Left Behind

A lot takes place for a person over nine years. Collectively the nine year cycle that has ended also carried experiences, themes and even trauma that impacted us all in ways that we would have previously never imagined.There’s been expansion and contraction, growth and loss, remembering and unlearning. For many people, this cycle has shifted how we see ourselves — our work, our relationships, and the ways we move through the world.

Closure isn’t something we decide on intellectually. The body needs time to register what’s finished. When we don’t pause long enough or intentionally acknowledge and reflect on what we’re holding, it can be carried forward with us and potentially spill into other areas of our lives. When we confront and are honest with ourselves about old patterns, attachments, and identities that no longer fit, we're able to bring a more coherent sense of completion to that stage of our lives which gives more space to plan for something new.

What’s ready to be released?

What still needs to be acknowledged?

What has shaped you in ways you’re only just starting to notice?

2025 as a Threshold

2025 was a year of reflection and preparation. A year of confronting what no longer serves, and of recognising misalignment through people, situations, and circumstances. The mirrors have shown where we have not valued our own needs, where consistency has been lacking, and where we have ignored previous lessons learned and stuck to identities and patterns that we had already outgrown. The work of 2025 was about recognising, acknowledging, and course-correcting.

This is what a threshold asks of us — not to bypass discomfort, but to pay attention to it. To notice where we are out of alignment, and to make the adjustments needed before stepping into what comes next.

2026, A One Year and The Space Between Cycles

The period between now and Spring Equinox holds bridge energy. It’s not quite the void space or empty energy to rush or force ourselves out of. This is a space where things settle, where we can gently land.

It’s a space to let grief surface — whether that’s the loss of someone, a friendship, a role, a version of yourself, or a future you thought you were moving towards. It’s also a space to recognise how far you’ve come.

Winter doesn’t ask for answers. It asks for stillness. Yet in the perceived stillness, in the slowing down that winter brings, Earth is still preparing for the next phase, for spring, to awaken and bloom! Stillness creates the space for reflection and the subsequent integration or release.

Planetary DNA Activation: Enjoyment

As we move into 2026, the focus is the Planetary DNA Activation of Enjoyment. This is not about fleeting pleasure, it is a frequency that in future years will become an embodiment within Earth and the human collective. Throughout 2026 we may find that we are guided to heal aspects of self, soul and the bloodline that has been affected by generational trauma and impacts our ability to give and receive pleasure. It's about us being able to dissolve the lack of trust and self doubt that shapes our personal and collective identity, so that the Jewel of Truth hidden in the Solar Plexus Chakra can surface and rise to the Higher Heart to bring us into remembrance with a true state of joy.

Entering the One Year

2026 is a One Year. It’s about tuning into enjoyment — your pulse, your rhythm, your connection to the Earth — and letting that frequency guide you forward. There’s no rush, no perfect plan, just the invitation to show up for yourself and your life in a way that feels aligned, alive and embodied.

To support this journey, I created Between Cycles: A Journal for Reflection, Release and New Beginnings. It’s full of prompts to reflect on the past nine years, work with grief, set intentions, and explore your own rhythm through journaling, music, and practice. Think of it as a companion for stepping into 2026 with clarity, presence, and the stirrings of alignment..
