2026: Psychic Insights For The New Year
As we step into a new year, we find ourselves at a powerful turning point, one that invites reflection on what has fallen away and clarity about what is now ready to emerge.
We asked our gifted team of psychics and mediums to share their insights for the year ahead, offering guidance on the themes, challenges, and opportunities that are likely to define 2026.
Most of our psychics feel the energy surrounding 2026 to be unmistakably different from the years that preceded it. Where recent times emphasized introspection, healing, and the slow dissolution of outdated systems, 2026 marks a decisive shift toward movement, empowerment, and visible change.
The inner work we have all been engaged in for more than a decade now demands expression in the outer world. This is not a year for passive hope or spiritual retreat. It is a year that asks for participation.
Across astrology, numerology, emerging technologies, and the channeled insights of our psychics and mediums, the message is strikingly consistent: 2026 is a year of agency. Choice matters more and more. Actions carry greater and more instant consequences. Avoidance becomes harder to keep up.
The question is no longer ‘what do you believe’, but what are you willing to stand for now that you know what you know? The year 2026 asks for courage, but it also brings extraordinary opportunities. With the right understanding, support, and spiritual foundation, this can be a year of conscious creation, not chaos.
Power And Protection From Your Ancestors
I come from a long line of female herbalists of European origins on my mother’s side of the family. They were seers, healers, and prophets who combined their psychic gifts with ancient healing practices. Today, they still come to me during meditation, to offer wisdom.
The family’s mainly Germanic connection is one I’ve researched for many years, but more recently I discovered that my ancestors crossed into Scandinavian and Norse territories too, which suggests a bloodline of fierce women who were warriors of their time.
It’s really not surprising to me, as even my own mother today, who is 84 years old, can still kick anyone’s butt who crosses her path in an unkind way! I always knew she was strong when I was little, and I always admired her power and independence.
I was born in the year 1966, which in Chinese Astrology equates to the year of the Fire Horse. Fire Horse people are only born once every six decades. It is a rare sign and, according to legend, many girl babies born in certain parts of Asia in that year were killed at birth, because they were believed to be dangerous, uncontrollable or resistant to rules or dogma.
My Fire Horse nature shows up in me from time to time, but only when I’m really pushed beyond reason by someone who is taking advantage of, or harming me, or my children.
Life will sometimes push us to step into our core strength and fight for what is right. There are many people on the spiritual path who feel stepping into your true power or fighting for what is right is ‘unspiritual’ or egotistic.
The Mystical Year Of The Yin Wood Snake
As we settle into 2025, the energy of the Yin Wood Snake begins to take shape, revealing its unique rhythm and influence.
While the excitement of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations may have faded, the true essence of the year is beginning to unfold.
Now is the perfect time to align with the energies of the Wood Snake, harness its mystical power, and set a clear, intentional path for the months ahead.
The Year of the Wood Snake brings a harmonious fusion of intuition, mystery and steady growth.
The Snake, known for its wisdom and transformation, merges with the nurturing and grounding essence of the Wood element this year, fostering patience, adaptability, and a deep connection to our spiritual and emotional roots.
Unlike the impulsive Fire Snake or the analytical Metal Snake, the Wood Snake encourages thoughtful progress and long-term vision, making 2025 an ideal year for meaningful evolution.
In many cultures, the Snake symbolizes rebirth, wisdom and mystery. Its ability to shed its skin represents the release of outdated beliefs, limitations, and habits, clearing the way for renewal. This year invites you to embrace transformation, trust your intuition, and align with the subtle yet powerful energy of the Snake as you enter a year of profound personal and spiritual growth.
Astrology Forecast January 27 – February 2, 2025
The week begins with Mercury entering innovative Aquarius, sparking fresh ideas and out-of-the-box thinking. Communication takes a forward-thinking turn, making this a prime time for brainstorming, problem solving, and embracing new perspectives in both work and business.
Over the next two weeks, a strong pull to connect with like-minded individuals will encourage you to explore intellectual pursuits that challenge traditional norms. Let your curiosity lead you into uncharted mental territory where unique insights and creative solutions await.
Conversations are likely to be lively, witty, and full of originality. But beware of jumping to conclusions or appearing aloof – a balance of logic and diplomacy will smooth both professional and social interactions.
Wednesday marks the Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Snake, an ancient symbol of intelligence, intuition, and charm.
The Year of the Snake repeats itself every 12 years, and people born under this sign are known for their wisdom, resourcefulness, and quiet determination.
The element associated with each Snake year adds nuance to its influence. In 2025, the Wood Snake brings a dynamic blend of growth, creativity and flexibility, enhancing the traditional Snake traits of patience, insight and strategy.
The energy of the Snake makes 2025 a year in which success comes to those who move with calm deliberation rather than haste. Trust your instincts, follow your inner voice, and make thoughtful decisions, especially when it comes to finances, relationships, and career paths.
Astrology Forecast February 5 – 11, 2024
Mercury moves into Aquarius today, challenging us to think differently for the next few weeks. Breaking out of old molds and thought processes will be the challenge as the rulin planet of communication, intellect, and the mind moves through this electric sign.
Our most productive days of the week will be tomorrow and Wednesday as the Moon marches through Capricorn, so get your to-do list completed before the fireworks and celebrations begin, as this week marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year 2024.

The Year of the Dragon is any esteemed year in Chinese culture, as it is associated with strength, prosperity, and good fortune. In the Chinese zodiac, each year is associated with one of the twelve animal signs, and the Dragon is the only mythical creature in the cycle. People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to inherit the dragon’s characteristics, which include intelligence, ambition, courage, and a strong sense of justice. Continue reading
The Mythical Legacy Of Dogs
The cat isn’t the only pet with a long history of myth and legend. Dogs have played an important role in human culture and spirituality for centuries.
The dog, or “man’s best friend,” is the subject of many magical tales, wisdom traditions, and folklore throughout the world. Like the cat, dogs were companions of the ancients and are still considered symbols of loyalty, courage and protection.
In Greek mythology, dogs are associated with the goddess Hecate, who is also known as the “dog goddess.” She is the goddess of witchcraft, magic, and the crossroads, and is typically depicted in ancient Greek art with a pack of dogs at her side.
Today, the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is also known as the Dog Star, because it is traditionally seen as the protector of the night sky. In many cultures, Sirius has been associated with dogs because of its brightness and prominence.
Perhaps the most famous dog in Greek mythology is Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld. Cerberus not only prevented the dead from leaving the underworld, but also the living from entering it. He was finally captured by the hero Heracles in one of his twelve labors. Another famous Greek dog is Laelaps, a swift dog given by the god Zeus to the hunter Actaeon. Laelaps was so fast that he could catch any prey, but he was also cursed to always catch his prey.
Astrology Forecast January 16 – 22, 2023
This week there is a cosmic ‘musical chairs’ occuring with various planets shifting as the heavens align for the beginning of the Chinese New Year this weekend.
Today, the Scorpio Moon will carry an intense vibration, enabling us to get a lot of things taken care of that have been on the back burner since last year.
A lighter energy prevails tomorrow and Wednesday, as the Moon dances through Sagittarius, but we’ll have to watch out for overly sensitive people and potential emotional outbursts. This may partly be due also to Mercury turning direct in Capricorn on Wednesday. This return can cause miscommunication and technical glitches that are sure to try some folks’ last nerve!
The Sun will move into Aquarius on Friday and meet up with Pluto, giving us a sense of destiny and karma to guide our way forward.
On Saturday the Aquarius New Moon will announce the dawn of the Chinese New Year. To add to the drama, Uranus will also turn direct this weekend, after four months of backward motion. This aspect will cement the fact that new beginnings are upon us! With the rare trio of the Sun moving into Aquarius, as well as the New Moon in Aquarius, and Aquarius as the ruling planet of Uranus going direct (as well as Mercury), plus the Chinese New Year all happening within a matter of days, the writing is certainly on the wall: major change for the better is on the horizon.
