Happy New Year! We made it. Truly. If you’re reading this, feeling a strange mix of relief, excitement, and a quiet what now? humming beneath the surface, I want you to know, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Just reflecting on the year myself, it's a "Holy $hit you started it kind of energy!" Things that I had thought about for years finally started to gain momentum. And at the same time, for me, the energy of 2025 was often slow and required massive amounts of aligned action to kick off those ideas.
Let's get into what 2026 might have in store for you. As always, this is a general lightworker collective energy reading, so take what resonates. Please read to the end for a special invite!
Wendy and I literally just recorded the Hey Goddess Podcast 2026 Energy episode New Year's Eve, and as we tuned into the energy together, the very first message that came through loud and clear was this:
“Sit tight.”
Don't stop, don't quit, and don't give up on everything you’ve been building. (Even if you want to because of 2025.) Hear me out.
Just stop chasing. It will not work in this energy, and it will just make you frustrated.
If that brings up resistance, take a breath with it. Because when we say "sit tight," this doesn't mean do nothing at all. It means you are no longer meant to frantically pivot every time something appears to not be working. It means we are officially out of the era where forcing, pushing, hustling, or “figuring it out harder” actually gets us anywhere.
If we were to give 2026 a word, from this episode, the word would be alignment.And alignment always has timing. It's always quantum.
One of the things we talked about on the podcast is how many people have been walking around in 2025 feeling like, “What I’m doing isn’t working anymore.” And the truth is… it is working. It’s just not fully aligned yet.
For so many people, 2025 felt like a year of laying groundwork with very little visible payoff; you didn’t imagine it. Over and over again, the image we kept seeing was people digging, planting, rebuilding soil, and wondering why it felt like ground zero… again. Many of us were frustrated. I know I was.
But here’s what came through so clearly:
“If you think you didn’t do enough in 2025, let that thought float right out of your head. You did. You did everything you were meant to do.”
2025 was a year of shedding skins; it was the year of the snake in the Chinese calendar. Staying close to the ground. Keeping things quiet. Holding your visions close instead of broadcasting them too soon. Even when it felt repetitive or exhausting, that work mattered. It built the foundation that 2026 requires.
And that’s where 2026 comes in...
January is not asking us to sprint into the new year. Despite what productivity culture tells us, nature does not reset on January 1st. The northern hemisphere is still in winter. The earth is resting. Our nervous systems are still integrating.
On the podcast, we talked about how the first several weeks of 2026 are still going to feel like hibernation energy for most people, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. This is not the time to bully yourself into massive action if it doesn’t feel aligned. But again, trust your own timing.
If you try to take action before it’s aligned, you can do it, but it’s going to be harder and take longer. If you wait for alignment, it can happen instantly.”
That’s the shift.
We’ve moved from solid to water over the past several years. The old formula of step-by-step pushing doesn’t work in a wave-based reality. You don’t control waves. You feel them. You wait. And when your wave comes, you move. It's actually the only way to thrive in a water environment.
This year, your timing is going to be deeply individualized. It's not your sister’s timing. It’s not your neighbor’s timing. It’s not the person you follow on Instagram who seems to be “taking off” already. Comparison will knock you out of alignment faster than almost anything in 2026.
Another big theme that came through in the podcast was simplicity.
Let it be simpler than 2025.
2025 messed with a lot of us. It was unpredictable. Emotional. Transformational. At times, downright exhausting. Many of us felt like we were doing so much inner and outer work without immediate reward, which led to burnout, doubt, and questioning ourselves.
2026 is not asking you to overhaul everything. For most people, it’s not about blowing up your life or reinventing yourself again. It’s about small tweaks and trusting what you’ve already built.
Mid-February brings a noticeable energetic shift as we move into the Year of the Fire Horse, which is fast, passionate, creative, and forward-moving energy. But even then, not everyone rides at the same time.
Some people will feel their wave early. Others later. And some may not feel fully ready until March or even April, which, interestingly, was the original “New Year” in many ancient calendars.
You're not late, and don't worry, you're not missing anything.
Another powerful piece we talked about on the podcast is to think about what happened for you around the 11/11 portal, with a meaningful moment connected to it around 1/11. For some, this may look like an opportunity, a meeting, or a long-awaited puzzle piece dropping in. For others, it may simply be the realization that something you once clung to… is gone. It could be a job or a relationship ending around this time.
Or it can be subtle ...You may even realize around 1/11 that you let go of something without even noticing. And that’s alignment.
Pay attention because even small confirmations matter right now.
If January feels quiet, internal, and even boring, don’t rush to fill the space. This is not the year to lunge forward just to prove you’re moving. It’s the year to trust your timing so deeply that you stop questioning it so you are not so busy you don't feel your moment when it arrives.
2026 is not about pushing the boulder uphill like 2025 was, it's about catching the wave.
So rest if you need to. Stay close to the ground. Nourish your body. Protect your energy. Hold your visions. The groundwork was laid in 2025 and before. Your harvest is coming, and when it does, it will move faster than anything you’ve experienced before. That's alignment at its core.
Sit tight, Gods & Goddesses. Your wave is coming.
Before I wrap this up, I want to invite the goddesses in the room to something special I have cooking.
If the end of 2025 left you thinking, “What the actual f*&% was that?” and the beginning of 2026 has you feeling a little shaken…If you’ve been hiding out lately, pulling your energy inward, or not quite feeling like your most radiant self right now, know this:
You are right on time. You have been shedding your snake skin with the year of the snake.
It's now time to kick off the rest of that old snake skin and reclaim your Goddess Glow.
