Final Day of the Wood Snake Year – The Great Shedding. Today we stand at the very last breath of the Year of the Wood Snake. Snake medicine is about shedding. Releasing skins we have outgrown. Letting go of identities, stories, roles, fears.
This past year has asked us to: • SHED: illusion • false safety • unconscious patterns • who we thought we had to be.
17 February, New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, the beginning of the Fire Horse year in Chinese astrology.
Aquarius brings awakening. Truth. Liberation from outdated systems. Community consciousness. This isn’t a gentle whisper. As Astrologers say, we are in profound evolutionary astrology now. Pluto in Aquarius - exposing power structures, dissolving corruption, transforming collective systems from the inside out. This is deep shadow work on global scale.
Neptune & Saturn are conjunct at 0° Aries on 20 February. First degree of the entire zodiac. Cosmic reset point. Spirit (Neptune) meets structure (Saturn). Dream meets reality. The old dissolves, & something entirely new begins. Zero degrees Aries is birth energy. The first spark of creation. The divine “I AM.” So as the Snake sheds, we do not just release. Prepare to ignite.
The Fire Horse year brings: • Movement • Courage • Passion • Acceleration • Bold self-leadership. This is not a year to hide. This is a year to ride your own fire.
Tonight, ask: What skin am I ready to fully shed? Where have I been shrinking? What truth is ready to ignite in me? Still body. Calm mind. Free spirit. The realignment is here.
From a Huna perspective, this threshold is powerful. Makia reminds us that energy flows where attention goes - in this Fire Horse year, let your focus be intentional, sovereign & courageous. Manawa teaches that now is the moment of power - not the past skin, not the future fear, but this breath, this choice. Kala whispers the great truth of the Horse energy: there are no limits - we are free. FREE to shed; to begin again; to ride our own sacred fire without apology.
