THE 2026 ‘SAPIN-SAPIN’

As you read this article, chances are I am having my Zoom session of my annual trends discussion that I have titled “Dare to Leap to 2026.” It’s a session where I forecast the planetarial transits for the year and what we can expect. It’s something like reading the weather, but in this case, it’s the cosmic geometry of planets. 

I have been telling people that 2026 will be wilder than 2025. “What???” is the gasp and response. 

Yes…it will be faster, wilder and exciting. The year 2026 began with a global bang — look at how we entered the new year, with United States President Donald Trump’s aggressive move on Venezuela.

 Everywhere we turn, there are dizzying global chaotic shifts, threats of war and escalations of geopolitical conflicts, borders hardening and power fermenting. Things are not centered in one region anymore. Volatility is everywhere, in all fronts of life, industry, countries…shouting out: shift, shift, shift. 

The helplessness many of us feel about global events is part of a larger alchemical process. Transformation doesn’t arrive quietly; it moves through disruption, as how the planet Pluto has steadily moved into the sign of Aquarius. And, wow, will we see more disruptions this 2026.

Layered future

But things are not just playing out in our man-made world. Everything is layered…like our colored rice-cake called “sapin-sapin”! 

The chaos of the world is revealing itself in layers, dense and difficult to separate as we experience life daily now. 

In another layer, the earth stirs. Our planet is going through its own process. The geologists are watching and are concerned. The Ring of Fire pulses like an ancestral drum, volcanoes breathing. We are reminded that the ground we argue over is alive, molten and indifferent to our flags. These upheavals are not random; the tectonic plates’ movements are textures in the same cake, pressures created when human ambition forgets its place within a living planet.

Deeper still are the unseen layers — planetary transits forming rare geometries, cosmic patterns bending time and consciousness, quietly insisting on evolution. It is so magically giving us stories of what is possible, what is imaginable and new directions heretofore unseen! These alignments act like sacred molds shaping the next phase of being, compressing old identities so new ones may hold. 

Some planets are coming together with positions that have never been seen in our lifetime. Some never seen in 5,000 years even. That’s major. Large outer planets are changing signs, touching amazing evolutionary points, marking movements, dancing with each other, creating energetic alignments that push us all to evolve and expand. I read and study the planets and truly, I am humbled to my knees at the Creator’s diagram and maps unfolding above us.

Also, the Sun releases its flares — blazing syllables of light — esoterically read as activations, awakenings, initiations. Solar fire meets volcanic fire, celestial rhythm meets human unrest, and the “sapin-sapin” of existence asks us not to consume blindly, but to taste each layer with reverence, knowing that transformation is not a single flavor, but a convergence of many forces becoming one. These solar flares, while activating more light into our DNAs will be dangerous for our earth’s magnetic fields affecting aviation and related technologies. 

2026 will highlight our direct shift and levels of consciousness. The old world and the old ways… these are all gone, gone, going, with this 2026 being the year of the most intense shift.  What do we do with our body-vessel? The mind that sees the chaos, the heart and emotions that feel both fears and excitement at the potentials arising? This global instability is not random but a result of massive energetic shifts shaking old outdated systems that are so unsustainable. 

So within, if you feel anxiety, this is a signal and not a flaw, calling you to prioritize nervous system regulations and inner safety above all else. Remember that your well-being is the very foundation for navigating this shift. 2026 will challenge us to slow down and reflect even more (while everything speeds up around us), and to consciously shape the version of ourselves that is emerging. The truth is, we are not anymore who we were… and clarity will come only from
self-inquiry and awareness. Because something authentic within us is being born. If we are suddenly feeling uncomfortable in our old kin, this is a proof that we are evolving. 

Our body’s central nervous system is being forced to be receptive to energetic changes. So that we let the old go away, shed what is not part of our growth, and choose instead to take the trajectory and pathway that leads us through the chaos, into the Light. 

Do trust me when I join the cacophony of star readers who say that when we end 2026, we will not recognize the world we are in. Meanwhile, lets buckle up in awareness as we take the bites in this 2026 sapin-sapin!
