"Embracing New Beginnings for the New Year"
Written by Lynn Pritchard December 21st, 2026.
As we continue through the Year of the Snake until February 16, 2026, we prepare for an exciting shift into the vibrant energy of the Fire Horse. This transition is marked by themes of movement and freedom, as the introspective nature of the Snake year gives way to the speed and clarity that the Horse brings. It’s a time to harness confidence and courage, making bold moves in our careers, relationships, and personal aspirations. The Fire element adds a layer of innovation and breakthrough potential, opening up new opportunities, though it also calls for mindful management to avoid feelings of restlessness. Furthermore, with 2026 representing a "1" year in numerology, we stand on the brink of a fresh nine-year cycle, symbolizing new beginnings and spiritual rebirth. Embracing this period can lead to significant growth and transformation as we embark on these new chapters of our lives.

**Complete Moon Ritual for Strengthening Social Bonds:**
During this ritual, perform a cord-cutting ceremony to remove any blockages affecting your relationships. A cord-cutting ritual is a spiritual practice designed to sever energetic ties to past partners, toxic friends, or negative patterns. This process allows you to reclaim your energy and clear emotional blockages.
​
Green Obsidian is used for cord cutting and sealing the spell.
Two cream-colored chime candles symbolize individuals who need to cut the cord.
Water and a pinch of blessed salt to absorb the negativity resulting from the cord-cutting process. Archangel incense is burned to invite the angels to assist with the cord cutting.
One piece of string is tied between the candles to represent the cord.
Clear the space using white sage. Next, take two candles and engrave the initials of the person or issue you want to release on one candle, and your own initial on the other. For instance, if you are dealing with someone who has been draining your energy, place their initial on one candle and yours on the other. If you want to let go of a specific issue, write it down on a piece of paper and place it between the candles (make sure to keep an eye on it for safety). Tie a string between the candles, leaving a space in between them. Now, place your crystals on the left side of the altar. Next, position a bowl of water with a pinch of blessed salt on the right side of the altar.Invoke the archangels by using incense to assist you in cutting the cords.
Say the following: "I call upon the archangels, so wise and bright, To step in and sever these cords in the night. Heal both our hearts, let the light freely flow, Creating a balance, letting harmony grow. As we journey together, let these words be your guide: 'I release all the cords that no longer abide. I set you free now; my energy’s my own, In choosing my peace, I’ve beautifully grown.'"
After the invocation, light the candles and let them burn until the cord breaks in half. Once the ritual is complete, express gratitude to the universe and place the green obsidian crystal in your pocket.
