Truth, Shedding & a Turning Point Week

25 - 31 JANUARY 2026

Hi beautiful soul, 

This week feels raw, honest, and unmistakably clear.

There’s been a sense of shedding happening for a while now, like an old skin loosening but not quite ready to fall away. That process hasn’t always been comfortable. At times, it’s felt frustrating, tiring, or emotionally exposing. But this week, something shifts. The fog lifts. The excuses thin out. And the truth stands right in front of us.

It feels crystal clear now.

This is an intense week, but in a very clean way. Not chaotic. Not emotionally overwhelming. Just honest. You may notice your tolerance is lower than usual. Things you once brushed off now feel impossible to ignore. Conversations land more directly. Patterns reveal themselves quickly. There’s a strong sense of “I can see this now, and I can’t unsee it.”

Emotionally, the week may move in waves. Moments of clarity followed by release. Feeling lighter one moment, deeply reflective the next. Some may experience restlessness, vivid dreams, heightened intuition, or a growing urgency to make changes that have been quietly building for months.

There’s also a nervous system element to this energy. You may feel wired and tired at the same time. Pulled forward by excitement, yet asked to stay grounded in the body. Slowing down, breathing deeply, and staying present will be essential as the energy accelerates.

Above all, this week feels revealing. The veil is thin. Truth doesn’t need to be hunted for. It simply shows itself.

You may notice a deep knowing around what is and isn’t working in your life. Where you’ve outgrown situations. Where you’ve been tolerating more than you deserve. Where you’ve been waiting instead of choosing. This isn’t about blame or shame. It’s about radical honesty.

There’s a strong “you reap what you sow” energy in the air. Not as punishment, but as empowerment. You begin to see that if something in your life doesn’t feel good, aligned, or nourishing, it’s an invitation to admit where you’ve been participating in it and to make the necessary changes.

This is a powerful reclaiming week.

The bigger energetic backdrop

We are still in Aquarius season, which brings a future-facing, truth-telling quality to the air. Aquarius energy highlights where we’ve been living on autopilot and invites us to think differently, choose differently, and imagine a new way forward.

Pluto remains active here, intensifying the pressure to let go of outdated ways of being. This can feel uncomfortable, but it’s purposeful. What’s falling away now has already expired. What’s emerging is more aligned with who you are becoming in 2026 and beyond.

You may clearly see how past choices, habits, or boundaries have shaped your current reality. This awareness brings a new awareness. If you created it, you can change it.

The major shift: Neptune into Aries 

This is one of the most significant energetic movements of the year and it sets the tone for the next chapter. 

Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, dissolving, softening, and blurring boundaries. As it enters Aries, the energy shifts from dreaming to becoming. From spiritual sensitivity to spiritual courage.

This can feel like an awakening.

You may suddenly understand something about yourself that was previously foggy. There may be a desire to reinvent, realign, or live more boldly from your truth. Old illusions about who you are or what you should be may dissolve, revealing a clearer, more embodied sense of identity.

Neptune in Aries asks us to live our values, not just talk about them. To embody truth, love, and alignment through action, boundaries, and choice.This is a seed moment. What you begin to feel, choose, or commit to now can unfold over many years.

Snake shedding, Fire Horse approaching

Energetically, we are in the final stretch of the Wood Snake cycle and approaching the Fire Horse.

The Snake energy has been slow, internal, and deeply transformative. It’s asked us to shed skins, heal beneath the surface, and sit with discomfort long enough for wisdom to form.

The Fire Horse brings momentum. It brings movement, courage, and a refusal to stay stuck.

This week sits right between the two.

You may feel impatient with stagnation. Intolerant of misalignment. Ready to move, even if you don’t yet know exactly how. That’s okay. The clarity comes first. The action follows.

The core themes of the week

Truth over comfort.

Alignment over tolerance.

Embodiment over avoidance.

Love rooted in self-respect.

This week asks us to look at our lives honestly. If something doesn’t feel good, aligned, or nourishing, it’s time to admit where we’ve been participating in it and to choose differently. Not from blame. From self-worth.

We all deserve more than what we’ve been tolerating lately.

How to work with this energy

• Stay grounded as clarity arrives.

• Let truth land without rushing to fix everything.

• Notice what feels complete.

• Choose alignment in small, tangible ways.

• Trust that courage grows once truth is acknowledged.

  
  

This is not a week for bypassing.

It’s a week for clean awareness and gentle but real change.

Journaling for the Week

Set aside a few quiet minutes this week to reflect honestly.

Place one hand on your heart and take a few slow breaths before you begin.

Write freely to these prompts:

• What truth am I now ready to acknowledge?

• Where have I been tolerating something that no longer reflects who I am?

• What do I choose to embody instead?

  
  

There’s no need to overthink your answers. Let them come from the body rather than the mind.

Clarity is already here. This is simply an invitation to meet it.

✨ Affirmation of the Week

I love you,
