A Happy 2026 to you all from Cassandra and Debi. 2026 is a special year for it is ruled by Michael, Archangel of the Sun who promises success, independence, health and happiness. 2025 was the year of fighting every step of the way, some for survival itself and a warlike year worldwide, but 2026 is opening to a New Year of better opportunities, reason and order replacing force, aggression and chaos.

January is ruled by Janus, the Roman god of gates and doorways, who simultaneously looks in opposite directions, sunrise and sunset, endings and beginnings. In January, we step through the door from the past, but what we take with us will set the tone for how we can move forward, so choose only joyous memories, loving experiences that have shaped us, all those plans started in 2025 we did achieve or can still bring to fruition in 2026. 

Pause in the doorway between the years and worlds and take a moment or more to mourn what was lost and must be left behind. If you really don’t know what you want to do or say, be with or even who you truly are, take January to reflect and take no actions nor speak irrevocable words if you are not sure. Don’t be pushed into decisions made by others, resolutions imposed by others’ view of what is desirable or hurried down pathways with the ringing of the New Year bells that lead only to the fulfilment of others’ dreams, based on their should and ought to be that stand in the way of expressing your true self.

If you want to extend a hand back through the doorway to what still may have life and hope given one more try, don’t let anyone sever cords that you carry still in your heart until and unless you are ready to let go The most important thing to leave behind as we walk through the doorway are those burdensome redundant voices in our head, from years past or venom and discouragement more recently towards us that clutters up our thinking and fills us with doubts that we can succeed. and are of worth,. The first slip in our fledgling New Year resolutions brings a flood of Told you so from those cobwebby spectres gloating over our shoulder.

Better, every time we doubt or slip back into an old habit, fear or situation we resolved to leave behind with the chiming midnight New Year is to accept without guilt any temporary setbacks. Do something small to make yourself feel good and start again from that point. New Year resolutions aren’t a once and for all, all or nothing, but a step by step, sometimes needing adapting given unexpected circumstances and situations.

Make January the month of seizing or creating a new chance to get it right, so by February you are striding ahead confidently towards your new goals or realising you were doing just fine anyway.

If the New Year resolutions are already proving too hard, maybe you were asking the impossible of yourself, whether fitness, diet, quitting bad habits, fears or making major life changes before you are fully ready. Take it slower, reassess what is realistic and a sensible time scale given all the responsibilities and stresses you have already and above all focus on what you really want for the year ahead.

This is your January, your future, your life a garden to be planted with whatever to you is beautiful and of worth and the choking weeds that hold back the growth gently but firmly pruned, especially if those doubters live on in your lives and you have to see them regularly.

May your January and 2026 be filled with inner sunshine that lights up your world.
