SHEDDING THE SNAKE - RUNNING TOWARD THE HORSE
we are shedding the year of the snake and racing to the year of the horse.
the year of the snake represents slowing down, looking inward, and shedding what doesn’t suit you anymore. what the snake year might have looked like for you:
more introspective than usual
pulled toward solitude or smaller circles
stuck, uncertain, or in-between versions of yourself
a deep urge to release old habits, identities, or beliefs
growth happening beneath the surface, even if it wasn’t visible yet
the snake year teaches patience, internal growth, and trust in timing. it can be uncomfy and confusing. you might have felt like momentum was slowing down, but it is preparing you for what's to come.
the year of the horse is bold, forward-moving, and alive with energy. this is a year of action, courage, and expansion.
the horse represents:
freedom and independence
momentum and action
confidence in your own direction
trusting instinct and moving before you feel fully ready
reclaiming joy, passion, and creativity
choosing your own path
you may notice:
opportunities arriving faster than before
a pull toward travel, change, or new environments
a desire to say yes more often
less tolerance for feeling stuck or staying small
a stronger connection to your inner “yes”
it's not about racing to the finish line, but trusting yourself to make moves in different areas of your life. it's not perfection but momentum.
