As occultists, we have tools that are meant to operate precisely in this terrain. I want to be clear that as seers, witches, practitioners with the Unseen, our work is a discipline of perception, one that can hold contradiction and competing priorities… 👁️

If you’re looking for an oracle that doesn’t flatter your biases or reinforce your personal narrative, but instead helps you see the structure of the moment you’re actually in, this series is an invitation to study the I Ching seriously and responsibly. Together we’ll work with its logic, line patterns, and Daoist foundations to understand how change moves, where constraint lives, and what action is supported. This is for those who want rigour, depth, clarity, and a way of orienting themselves that is steady, precise, and alive.

FINDING I CHING CLARITY starts February 8, deliberately because it catches the energies of both Wood Snake and the onboarding Fire Horse (refer to my pinned post about the Horse year).

Monthly study, sliding scale tuition, payment plans available

It is a Winter New Moon, after all. Yin’s domain. If you’re open to trying some other magical strategies besides Yang based ones, consider these… 💀

If you’re curious about how Yin (and Yang) move separately and together in practice, shaping divination, magic, and how we can stay engaged, Finding I Ching Clarity is where that work is explored, practiced, and applied.

The I Ching (Book of Changes) is an ancient Chinese system for reading patterns of change. Through Yin and Yang lines, it shows how a situation is structured, where pressure is accumulating, and what kind of action the moment can support.

In periods of uncertainty, the I Ching offers orientation. We start Sunday, February 8.

This is a radically different orientation from manifestation-based spirituality. It replaces emotional projection with situational clarity. 🔥More importantly, re-embracing mathematical logic in spiritual practice also often replaces the “me” with “we”. 🔥

Intention without structure fails. We’ve seen this play out in the personal and collective.

Join me for FINDING I CHING CLARITY.
12 sessions in I Ching Form; and a second 12 sessions in I Ching Spirit.

Starts February 8, 2026

Divining, Predictions, Guidance for the upcoming Fire Horse Year will be on Sunday, February 15 from 10AM to 12 noon PST as a live-stream (with the recording for those who can’t join live.)

Through Daoist cosmology and the Horse’s elemental nature, we’ll study Fire’s rhythm and containment to know when to act, when to rest, and how to channel enthusiasm into purposeful movement. We’ll also sharpen discernment to choose which ideas to pursue, cool impulsive Fire, and operate in steady, sustainable cycles. The event concludes with me providing mini Chinese astrological readings, offering personalized insight into how your lunar and rising animal signs interact with 2026’s fiery current.

Sliding scale tickets. FREE for Homing Coven mates.

Until then, I share tips on how to prepare and orient in January and early February.

My word for 2026 is… …guided ✨

Because guided means I am not alone. There are intelligent companions,
seen and unseen, traveling with me.
Because guided means my role is to observe, to listen, before responding.
Because guided means the next step will become visible when I’m ready.
Because guided means there is wisdom ahead of the land I have yet to step into.
Because guided means I don’t have to outrun uncertainty to feel safe.
Because guided means I can be unafraid.
Because guided means I am allowed to pause without losing momentum.
Because guided means clarity can rise from the silent casting of
coins, instead of purely rational thinking.
Because guided means my path is co-created, not forced.
Because guided means the path may unfold differently than I expect,
but it will meet the deepest prayers I’ve uttered.
Because guided means process and outcome combined.

There is something deeply personal in the word ‘guided’. Since I was born on the last day of the Earth Horse in 1979, the last year of the Fire Horse (early 2027) will also signify a 12 year cycle completion for me. I trust that the Dao will guide me.

Fire Horse years are powerful and tend to reward those who are prepared from a place of reverence. They are not easy, but they are generative.

Horse teaches movement. Fire teaches transformation.
Together, they teach us how to step into a year of velocity without abandoning ourselves.

As we approach the end of 2025, I’ve been thinking about travelling at the edge.

Not necessarily the literal destinations themselves (though it certainly does include them), but the in-between spaces of airports, planes, trains, unfamiliar beds, where nothing belongs to you and yet, briefly, the space was granted to you.

Those moments ask very little of us. We follow signs. We carry what we need. We shed our usual roles and become, for a time, simply a being in motion. I notice how easily the mind loosens there. How perspective widens without effort. Mundane things are extraordinary. Travel brings the blessing of releasing the grip of unexamined habits. In other words, we learn to become unburdened. We are willing to be changed by what we encounter.

At this near-end, we are between departures, between years, between versions of ourselves, between the various literal and tangible places that hold our renewed and multi-selves.

If you follow the Gregorian calendar, may we carry less with the assistance of the Yin as 2026 greets us. And as we step through this Gregorian threshold, may we uphold the humanity in each other yet still be open to new discoveries of who we each are.

And if you follow the Lunar calendar, the Fire Horse arrives February 17, seven weeks from now. It will be a momentous year, one that is best stepped into with a sense of preparedness. When I mean by prepare is one rooted in acknowledgment and respect rather than control, as one would respect rain and pack an umbrella, or to dress appropriately before stepping into a temple. This Red Horse will either refine capacity or fracture it, depending on our willingness and responsiveness. (More on this in my January newsletter — will be sending it out once I recover enough from jet lag 😆; soon!)

To all, I say gratitude to each of you. Thank you for walking with me, and as we navigate this bridge of 2025 to 2026, may we exhale, hold one another, and celebrate that we’ve done the hard work of shedding, with blooms to come. 🌹

I come back to a land that knows me before I knew myself.

I look like everyone else here on my visit / return to Taiwan for three weeks. The cadence of my body remembers how to move here. Street corners recognise my gait. The food does not ask me to explain myself. There is a kind of welcome that lives in the bones.

And still, I am not entirely at home.

Because belonging, once stretched across oceans, never returns to its original shape. As the proverb goes, we cannot step in the same river twice. I speak fluently, I pass as local, yet feel the faint static of beyond-language translation somehow.

The land receives me as kin and yet also knows that I am not a resident. This is the Third Culture’s child ache; diasporic longing fundamentally Yin in nature.

Yin knows this in-between, my in-between. Maybe yours, too. 💔

This is the shadow side of return. The tenderness of being neither guest nor citizen, neither fully claimed nor fully lost. And yet Yin prompts me not rush to resolve the contradiction. Let the feeling have its full, unglamorous weight. The pain and the beauty. The pride of being Taiwanese Canadian.

And this year, the Snake moves through us.
The Snake does not perform belonging. A year that has taught me identity is not proven by proximity, but by what we are willing to release. The Snake reminds us that home is not always a location because it is a state of inner alignment that must be re-entered slowly, skin by skin. It is a habit of self-belonging. How we love ourselves.

If you have also been yearning,
If you are living inside a threshold, If your power is coiled inward, waiting…

Join me for Within Yin: An E-Gathering with the I Ching on Thursday, December 18, from 6–8 PM PST

Is a time and e-space where we gather to sit with Yin as it truly is: discerning, subterranean, exacting.

If you are tired of explaining your ache for home. Tickets via my 👆🏽🔗

Many of us felt this year was a massive shedding process, and are reeling from its effects, raw and yearning the consoling quality of having a direction.

But when the shadowy and liminal are upon us, that is, when Yin is having her way, as this Wood Snake Year has been, the idea is to surrender to her so we can orient (attune deeply) instead of interpret (finding the/a direction). Because the lunar year will be the Fire Horse, who will be focused on not only direction, but the momentum of it. If one hasn’t done the important work of inner orienting, of inviting and allowing Mystery to shape oneself, then one may need to take precautions against grasping at any direction for the sake of fall security.

I am noticing within myself and within many others around me (clients, friends, and family) that part of this re-orienting process is to physically, emotionally, psychically, prepare our self to change form, into a shape that we may not fully understand yet, into someone we would only dare to recognize in the most fantastical dream.

But it is scarrrry to let our old self die. We might fear that what we are about to become will lose out or will have to pay a terrible price. And yet, how can an acorn ever imagine that it one day will grow to be a monumental tree? Yin asks us to trust in our nature.

Join me this Thursday night from 6-8PM PST for our annual Winter Solstice E-Gathering in reference of the Yin. Sliding scale tickets; free for Homing Coven mates.

Really wanting to defy the West’s oversimplification and reductive “understanding” of the Yin principle, and how this relates to magical workings, divination, and spirit work.

Here are some excerpts from one of my December blog posts, “Yin Magic: How Rituals, Divination, and Protection Change in a Yin Cycles”.

Join me for an in-depth experiential instruction in my upcoming FINDING I CHING CLARITY, a slow and substantive series launching in February 2026. Sliding scale, tuition payment plans available. More on shopceremonie.com or my 🔗👆🏽.
