Happy Lunar New Year for the year of the Fire Horse (on a solar eclipse, no less!)🧧🔥🐴🎉🌚💥
⠀
I’m slowly landing back from my Winter Pause & am grateful I got to experience Taiwan, Vietnam & Laos with 1 of my very besties & fav travel buddy 💓 (25 countries traveled together & counting! 🔥🏹💫). Was especially cool to witness Taipei & Hanoi come alive with new year preparations 😻 (📸 from some of my impressions).
⠀
I’ve SO been anticipating the shift in energy from the year of the wooden snake 🪵🐍 All the shedding being very necessary, but 2025 definitely being my tenderest year ever after 2012, the year after my bicycle accident 😅
⠀
2025 was also filled with many glimmers tho ✨ I finally got my EU permanent residency (ya gurl’s here to stay 🥹), I got to show my partner California for his 1st time with an epic road trip & also my community .collective.la’s 32nd anniversary campout (🥰🌝🤯) & some of my dearest & oldest friends visited me in Berlin (some for their 1st time), including my sista from another mista who’s known me since birth 💓
⠀
I’m looking forward to galloping forward with the momentum of a fire horse with all the space created from all the shedding ✨ Remembering also the nature of horse energy… ‘Biêu tương của chí tiến thủ & bền bỉ’ or ‘A symbol of ambition and perseverance (4th pic).
⠀
With outdated structures crumbling & the world seeming stranger by the minute with all the corruption, rise of fascism, AI slop, climate change, etc., it’s important now more than ever to mobilize in our communities, have hope & visions for our future, be gentle with ourselves & one another, and persevere ✊
⠀
Wishing you all a smooth transition into 2026 & a magical new year filled with lots of love, peace of mind, hope, abundance, good health, ease, expansive opportunities, excellent fortune & forward momentum 🔥🐎🔥🐎🔥🐎 (tho with the eclipse energy of today, this new moon is not one for manifesting or wishing ☝️).
⠀
Hope to see you all at our beloved for a session and/or Course if/whenever it’s in the flow 🌊
