2026 Intentions- It's Not Too Late

Feeling behind on your New Year’s intentions? You’re not. In this episode, we explore why energetically, it's not the beginning of the year—and why it’s not too late to set intentions for 2026.

We dive into 2025 as the Year of the Snake and a universal 9 year, a powerful cycle of release, completion, and transformation, and why this energy asks us to slow down, reflect, and shed old patterns rather than force forward momentum.

We also discuss the energetic shift happening on February 17th, when we enter the Year of the Horse and how 2026 is a universal 1 year, bringing new beginnings, movement, and fresh identity timelines.

In this episode, I'll discuss:

-The spiritual meaning of the Year of the Snake and Year of the Horse

-The meaning behind a year 9 and the meaning of a year 1, which we are stepping into

-Why winter is the best season for reflection, intention setting, and subconscious healing.

I also share our ⁠Limited Edition Winter Solstice Box⁠, which includes handmade intention candles, picked just for you crystals, a Palo Santo winter bundle, and three sound baths designed for release, nervous system regulation, and intention setting, perfect for those wanting to extra support for the rest of the winter season.

I also created a ⁠Free Reflection Journal ⁠to help you close out 2025 and get clear about what you're calling in, in 2026. (just scroll to the bottom if you don't want to read the blog post)

If you’re interested in spiritual growth, manifestation, energy healing, sound baths, subconscious reprogramming, or intentional living, this episode will help you align with the natural rhythm of the year and step into 2026 feeling grounded, clear, and ready.

You’re not late—you’re right on time!

Can I get a woo woo? Welcome to the Woo

0:06

Woo and You podcast. I am your host B

0:08

Marie. And if you love all things

0:11

manifestation, sound healing, auras,

0:13

tarot, astrology, numerology, or

0:17

anything else considered woo, then you

0:19

are in the right spot. So sit back,

0:21

relax, and let's dive in.

0:34

Hello everybody and happy 2026.

0:39

I know we have not done a podcast

0:42

episode in like forever, but we really

0:47

got busy towards the end of the year

0:50

just coming up with new products. Um,

0:54

and I was also working on a really big

0:57

project that I wanted to get launched

1:01

for the first of the year and that

1:03

happened and it's around subconscious

1:07

reprogramming, sound healing, and really

1:10

just loving your body. If you want to

1:13

look into that, you can go on our social

1:17

media and see all about it. It's called

1:19

SoundBody. But I am not here to talk

1:22

about that today. Today, what I would

1:25

love to talk about is 2026,

1:29

closing 2025 and going into 2026

1:34

because 2025 was the year of the snake

1:39

and it was also a universal year 9. And

1:45

the year of the snake was for

1:48

transformation and rebirth and change

1:51

and you know shedding the old for the

1:53

new and all about growth. And a year

1:57

number nine was about completion and

2:00

closure, forgiveness and compassion, the

2:04

end of cycles, right? Tying up any loose

2:07

ends that needed to be tied up and of

2:09

course releasing old patterns. In 2025,

2:14

you may have experienced, you know,

2:16

letting go of old identities or

2:19

repeating your old cycles, your old

2:22

patterns. You may have noticed that some

2:24

relationships may have faded um that no

2:27

longer aligned with you and who you are

2:30

becoming. You may have experienced

2:33

letting go of limiting beliefs or old

2:36

wounds or old triggers. Right? And for

2:39

me personally, 2025 was a lot of shadow

2:44

work. And going throughout the year, I

2:48

was releasing um old wounds, old

2:52

triggers. Um by the end of 2025, I did

2:55

get triggered and I was just like, whoa,

2:57

wait a minute. Like, let's take a step

3:00

back and see why I'm so triggered. So, I

3:02

did a lot of shadow work and cord

3:05

cutting and a bunch of energetic

3:08

releasing.

3:10

And I also noticed that I was getting

3:13

tired of like my old cycles, my old

3:16

patterns.

3:18

You know, that's one of the reasons that

3:20

I had made or started making the project

3:25

that is soundbody. I just realized that

3:30

every year I had like the same goals and

3:33

I was basically going in circles. So I

3:36

got tired of my my old stuff for the

3:40

year of the snake. That's exactly what

3:42

it was for. It was for releasing all of

3:46

that all of the crap that is holding you

3:48

back basically. So, stepping into 2026,

3:53

we are coming into the year of the fire

3:56

horse, which apparently is a rare type

3:59

of horse because the fire is bringing

4:00

you even even more energy with the

4:05

horse.

4:06

And that actually doesn't happen um

4:09

until February 17th. So, technically, we

4:12

are still in the year of the snake. So,

4:15

we have um a couple of weeks left of the

4:18

snake until we actually transition into

4:20

the year of the horse. And the horse is

4:23

all about freedom, movement, um

4:27

confidence and vitality, you know,

4:30

moving forward with your life. And this

4:32

is the time when your actions are going

4:36

to be based off of passion, right? Not

4:40

something that you quote unquote have to

4:42

do. It's going to be passion-led action.

4:45

Um there might be some bold change and

4:48

potential breakthroughs. So this is the

4:51

year for that. 2026 is also a universal

4:55

year number one. So unlike the universal

5:00

year number nine where we were tying up

5:03

the loose ends and um completing our

5:07

cycles and com and coming to a close of

5:10

things. A year number one is all about

5:14

new beginnings, a fresh start, new

5:17

timelines, leadership, your

5:19

independence, um intuition and new

5:23

creations coming to life, um and

5:26

choosing new directions. So with the

5:29

year of the snake and the nine,

5:32

you know, it was it was not like a

5:34

slamming of a door, right? It may have

5:37

just been that you outgrew

5:40

things that no longer fit you or no

5:42

longer align with you. So

5:46

certain goals may no longer have

5:48

motivated you. Like I said, old

5:50

identities may have, you know, just not

5:53

aligned with you anymore. Maybe it felt

5:54

too small. Maybe you outgrew that. And

5:57

like I said, relationships, they

6:00

naturally shifted or faded away if they

6:03

were not in alignment with who you were

6:05

becoming. The patterns you're going to

6:07

stop, you've stopped repeating those

6:09

patterns. And in 2025, maybe you felt

6:14

less willing to like abandon yourself,

6:17

right? Like we're not doing that

6:19

anymore. We're not people pleasing. We

6:21

are stepping into our most authentic

6:25

self. So that is what it means for

6:30

you know not the door to be slammed shut

6:33

but just gently closed. As we move into

6:36

2026

6:38

we are going to be processing all the

6:42

inner stuff that we've done in 2025 and

6:45

it's going to become an outward motion.

6:47

So this is where your activation is

6:49

going to begin. And that doesn't

6:51

necessarily mean starting over although

6:53

it can. It just means that you're about

6:56

to move forward with clarity. You're

6:59

going to be really clear about what

7:02

direction you're heading, right? So, for

7:05

example, like if you set boundaries back

7:09

in 2025, this is where it's going to

7:12

become confident,

7:14

self-confidence

7:16

in 2026. And you're going to stick to

7:18

those boundaries. And if you did any

7:21

emotional healing or

7:24

a bunch of shadow work like I did that

7:27

healing from that healing you will feel

7:30

free and you're going to be able to move

7:32

forward with momentum.

7:35

So letting go of you know the old

7:37

identities as I said you're really going

7:40

to embody your true authentic self that

7:44

is going to come out unapologetically

7:47

and that's what we want right and if you

7:49

were doing a lot of forgiveness in 2025

7:52

you're just going to feel a lot lighter

7:54

and you're going to be moving forward

7:56

from it so all of that was prep

8:00

preparation you know even if at times it

8:03

was very emotional or felt very heavy or

8:07

like maybe you even took a week and just

8:09

needed a whole week off to just process.

8:12

It was all preparation. Nothing was

8:15

wasted in 2025.

8:17

So the horse is really going to help you

8:19

run towards what is next. And I know we

8:22

live in a world that kind of encourage

8:25

us to move really quick quickly from,

8:28

you know, one thing to the next without

8:30

actually pausing, right? We're always on

8:32

the go go go go go. And we never

8:35

actually sit to reflect and integrate

8:38

what we have experienced, right? And

8:42

reflection is not something that's

8:44

passive. It's actually very powerful

8:46

because when you take that time to

8:47

reflect on what you've experienced and

8:50

what you've gone through, you can see

8:53

the lessons that you were supposed to

8:56

learn. You can release any emotional

8:59

heaviness that maybe you still have. You

9:03

can close any any loops, you know, any

9:07

anything that needs tying up, those

9:09

loose ends, you can tie them up and you

9:11

can create clarity for what you want to

9:14

come next in your life. And that is how

9:16

you step into a new year that is

9:19

grounded. Instead of feeling rushed,

9:23

you're going to be clear and aligned,

9:26

right?

9:27

you're not going to be reactive anymore.

9:30

So, for that reason, I have created a

9:33

free reflection journal. And guys, it is

9:36

not too late to be setting your

9:38

intentions. Okay, I know we're in the

9:40

last few like two weeks of we're

9:43

actually week now of January, but like I

9:46

said, the horse or the horse year does

9:50

not start until midFebruary.

9:52

We are also still in winter and winter

9:55

is the time to

9:58

pause, reflect, slow down

10:02

and set your intentions for the new

10:04

year. So there is a free journal on our

10:08

woowoo website. I will link it in the

10:11

description below. There is no email

10:13

needed. You can literally just click it

10:16

and download it. This journal is going

10:19

to help and guide you with releasing

10:22

what no longer belongs in your next

10:24

chapter. This is also going to help you

10:28

see the lessons from the past year. And

10:30

this will also help you to clarify what

10:33

you're ready to call in for the horse

10:34

year. So you can set your intentions

10:37

from selfrust and freedom. So this is

10:41

not about forcing any type of New Year's

10:44

resolution, right? This is really about

10:46

honoring what you have been through

10:49

through the past year so you can start

10:53

new, start fresh, and start aligned with

10:56

the new year. And I really recommend

11:00

just setting some quiet time for

11:02

yourself. If you do decide to download

11:05

the free journal, just set some time,

11:09

some quiet time to yourself. light a

11:11

candle, maybe listen to some nice music

11:14

if you want and just take a few deep

11:16

breaths. You know, you don't have to

11:18

have everything figured out. You know,

11:21

even by, you know, February um 17th when

11:25

the horse year actually begins, you

11:27

don't have to have everything figured

11:28

out. Just be honest with yourself, honor

11:31

the endings, and trust the new

11:34

beginnings. Okay, that's what it's all

11:37

about. And if you want to dive deeper

11:40

with setting your intentions for the new

11:43

year, we actually have crafted a limited

11:47

edition winter solstice box as a ritual

11:51

companion for the winter season. And

11:54

like I said, winter is for rest,

11:56

reflection,

11:58

getting clear about what you want for

12:00

the new year. This is when you start

12:02

planting your seeds. you know, you don't

12:04

have to necessarily take action right

12:07

now because that is kind of springtime.

12:10

Um, but your intentions are really

12:12

formed now during this time. And in each

12:16

winter solstice box, you get handmade

12:18

candles with set intentions. So, this

12:21

really anchors your desires so they

12:23

become into your reality, right? You're

12:26

going to get handpicked crystals that

12:29

will support you during this time. And

12:31

these are going to be intuitively

12:33

picked. You also get a Palisanto winter

12:36

bundle, you know, to help cleanse your

12:38

space. And then you get three winter

12:41

sound baths. And these were created to

12:43

just guide you through the season.

12:45

You'll have snow globe stillness, which

12:48

is calm and regul like nervous system

12:51

regulating. You'll have the winter

12:53

solstice sound bath, which is honoring

12:55

the darkness, rest, and return of the

12:59

light. And then you'll get frost and

13:01

fire, which is about balancing cold

13:03

stillness with inner warmth and the life

13:05

force. So you can use these sound baths

13:08

during, you know, weekly self-care

13:11

rituals or when you have like low energy

13:14

days or you feel heavy during this

13:17

season or whenever you want to reconnect

13:19

with the winter season. Of course, I'm

13:22

going to link everything below in the

13:24

show notes for you. So, this is for

13:26

anyone who really wants to close out

13:28

your year with intention and really step

13:31

into next year feeling clear and ready

13:35

to take on 2026.

13:38

So, if you feel called the winter

13:40

solstice box, like I said, it is limited

13:43

edition, so we only have I think there's

13:47

about 20 of these made. they are

13:49

available, but it is designed to support

13:51

you right here, right now in this

13:54

season. So, with that being said, I'm

13:57

going to wish everyone a very happy new

14:00

year and much love and blessings and

14:03

abundance for the year 2026. I will see

14:07

you next time.
