Reviewing the last year. Seeting intention for the new one.

As we enter the last couple of weeks of the year, we arrive at a natural pause point. This is not a time to rush forward, but a moment to look back with honesty and compassion.

Review this year gently.

What did you learn?

What did you complete?

What patterns repeated because they were asking to be seen, not judged?

This year carries the energy of the Snake — a year of awareness, discernment, and shedding.

The snake teaches us that growth does not always come from adding more, but from releasing what no longer fits: outdated identities, habits, commitments, and beliefs that once served you but now restrict you.

Let this closing of the year be a conscious shedding.

Release without resentment.

Thank what is leaving for what it taught you.

From this cleared space, begin to lovingly set intentions for the year ahead.

Not from pressure or urgency, but from alignment.

Ask yourself who you are preparing to become.

This is especially important because 2026, the Year of the Horse, brings powerful forward momentum, expansion, and movement. The horse does not wait — it runs with clarity and purpose.

The more you release now, the freer and stronger you will be to move when that energy arrives.

Use these final weeks wisely:

• Review without judgment

• Release with gratitude

• Intend with clarity

You are not ending a year.

You are preparing yourself for transformation.

As we enter the final weeks of the year, how do you usually review the past year and prepare for the next one?

I consciously review, release, and set clear intentions

I reflect a little, but without a structured practice

I mainly focus on setting goals for the new year

I usually don’t review the year, but I’m open to starting
