Why is 2026 the new 2016?

New Lunar Year | Eclipse Season | Cosmic Shifts

I’m holding off wishing you a Happy New Year until our new moon on 17th February which is also Chinese new year and the beginning of Ramadan. However, I will say Happy New Moon! We are still in the dark depths of Winter, however I am beginning to feel the little chinks of light shining through our final four weeks of this year. We are still in shedding mode; still able to open and allow the old to be released. So no stress if you’re feeling stressed, or heavy, or not quite bright eyed and bushy tailed, it’s coming, just later.

Everyone on instagram is posting their 2016 pictures and stories and reflecting on how much their lives have changed in 10 years, how much they’ve evolved and why they are better off now. I found the last ten years very challenging, in fact it was 2016 where everything flipped and began to get dark and difficult for me, and isn’t that when Trump first came into power? Not sure why this is a vivid memory of that year, but clearly it wants to be mentioned here!

I’m not entirely sure my life has upgraded! My bank account isn’t any fuller, my physical health is not better, in fact it feels slightly worse, and I have been knocking so many things down/ allowing them to crumble over the last ten years I feel like I’m at the precipice of a blank canvas, about to build on the clear land I’ve just found, as oppose to staring up at the castle I should have been building since 2016.

So, when I read and hear that 2026 is the new 2016 I’m a little rattled. Ok, very rattled! 2016 was the beginning of my anxiety coming back and getting progressively worse; even leading to a nervous breakdown only a few years ago; I had a succession of several close family and friends becoming ill and leaving this physical plane; I returned to pursuing my dream of writing and performing to then having it cancelled by Covid; we had those lockdowns; I later had a chronic health issue where I couldn’t walk or even lie down for several months; I lost friends, a lot of them.

Several dark nights of the soul, one might say! However, the astrology of this Leo-Aquarius eclipse axis which we had in 2016, and we have coming soon this year, is different!! The north node will be in Aquarius instead of Leo, things will be flipped, again! This could be seen as a focus from self to community, the collective. A cosmic shift from caring about what it looks like we’re doing, to what we are actually doing, and how it feels. Living less for the ego boosts and more for the heart boosts! Coming home to our own unique, or even wacky ways and ideas, and leaving the flock of sheep we were trying to follow.

I know I spent a lot of the last 10 years weaving in and out of a victim mentality, which has been all part of my process to work through many layers of self, of wounds, of ancestral imprints. It has been the perfect fertiliser for this fresh land I stand upon now. And I can’t not mention the beautiful manifestations of my growth over this period either. I finally opened up and tapped into my psychic gifts, have made new connections with people who’s values align with my own, met the most beautiful soul in the most romantic of ways, fell in love with said soul, birthed a business doing what feels so, so good personally, but also for the collective, and welcomed my 2 fur babies into our world!

I am so unbelievably grateful, for all of it, without the dark there is no light. Every dark night has it’s dawn, no matter how many dark nights we weather. None of us are immune to life’s challenges. I hope you know you are not alone in whatever challenges you have been, or now are, facing. This physical plane is a roller coaster, we are never fixed, nothing is here. Our only constant is our connection to ourself and spirit, this rooted inner strength is a key to staying sane when around us seems mental.

Today our New Moon is in grounded and practical Capricorn. It would be great to have a little moment of pause to tune into the heart, see if she has any words of wisdom to tap into that inner strength I described, and if there are any insights around where to focus your energy this year. 2016 really is about laying and setting strong, deep, aligned foundations, so then you can start to build the pillars of your castle on stability, for longevity. We take action this year, we take hold of our Horses reigns and we gallop. If you would like to make 2026 the best year yet and feel in control of your horses direction, then why not join me on Sunday February 1st where we complete the We Are Woman Wellbeing Manifestation WorkPlayBook for 2026?

You shall connect with your own personal guides through a deeply healing guided meditation, so you can truly know what steps to take this year to create the life you have been wishing and wanting to live, maybe even since 2016! You will pen your very own personal, but very practical, steps you need for your best year yet, while tapping into your inner power, wisdom and magic. And when we come together in Circle like this, the magic amplifies and can truly be felt and harnessed. I can’t wait to hold this powerful portal on our next Full Moon. Which will give your mind, body and energy 2 weeks to fully assimilate before the New Lunar Year on February 17th. You will be fully ready to take those steps and breathe in those manifestations we plant, affirm and activate on February 1st.

So much love, Siân ♥️
