KITTEN TALK 43: THE LIFE BLOSSOMING FOR YOU 🌹🐎

As I began writing this blog post, I had an image of a rose, in a bright pink color, drenched in water droplets that cling in tiny bubbles on the surface of the petals. The rose is already opening up from the center outwards, showing that it's blossoming.

This is how I am seeing progress, not just for me, but for those in my community. We are blossoming even though sometimes we may feel stuck, not beautiful or smart enough, or questioning our capabilities.

2025 has passed. I’m sure this year, like any other, was an era of outgrowing AND growing into ourselves. Whether that's based on career, romance, friendships, business, health...we can all agree that growth and change are everyday occurrences in our lives.

And change is something we sometimes hesitate to let happen. 2025 was a 9 year (2+0+2+5=9). The number 9 in numerology is correlated with ending cycles, releasing the past and preparing for the next chapter. This is the time, if you haven’t yet, to declutter and organize. I don't mean just your room or your home; I mean your life in general. What situations or circumstances do you always seem to bring yourself into? What friendships seem to be more of a distraction or even a nuisance to your time and energy? What issues in romance are coming from a place of trauma? What habits have you done to get you closer to your goals? 9 is about reflection and trimming down what needs to be cut out of your life to get to a more balanced and elevated sense of self. If grief, pain, trauma, irritation, or moodiness have been swimming around your subconscious (and now surfacing in your consciousness) what can you do to move forward from those feelings? I need to mention that 2025 was also the year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac. What do snakes go through? A process called Ecdysis. Ecdysis is when a snake grows and sheds their skin. This process helps them grow and shed off old layers of skin, helping to remove any parasites, renew the skin, and promote wound healing. Even though it may look a bit gross, Ecdysis is a vital occurrence in a snake’s life. A snake that cannot do this faces health issues, possibly even death. Seeing the snake as an example, what are things you need to shed off from life? What is putting you at risk of being sick? Is it certain habits, repeating cycles, defeated thinking? Reflection is key here, but what is reflection for if you don’t do the “releasing”. Acknowledge where you are and where you want to be, and what has kept you behind the door of your desires. Giving an end to things that have outlasted their stay gets you one step closer to the life you’ve desired. Endings are the rebirths in life. What needs to die for you to live in your truth?

2026 is a 1 year (2+0+2+6=10, 1+0=1). A 1 year entails new beginnings, manifestations, growth, and the death and rebirth of self. If you have a major goal you want to achieve, then this is the year to really push forward with it. It doesn't matter how you start or if you don't have something, work with where you are. How will you allow yourself to transform? What everyday actions, experiences, and thinking can you do to call in your new life of pleasure, joy, and success? Is it waking up earlier to work out? Is it scripting about your dream life before bed? Is it applying to the job that you’re so sure you won’t get but you haven't even dropped your resume in?

2026 is the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese Zodiac. Horses are symbolic of movement, freedom, speed, and power. This is not the year to be frozen on perfectionism, but to move in the name of progress. It may be easy to say, “I’ll just deal with it later” or “Well, I don’t look like this so I can’t have a relationship”, but you’re just blocking yourself from your desires. No one can decide what’s for you, but you. It may seem scary to be a work in progress or to seem imperfect in a world that pushes high expectations and worthiness based on arbitrary standards, but I say it’s better to start at a supposed “bad” than waiting to even start. Time goes on even if we don’t. You have a choice. This is the time to put that horsepower behind claiming what you want, rather than backtracking to not seem demanding or delusional. You can get the love, the body, the accolades, the support, or whatever else you want because you want it and that’s enough, but are YOU willing to let yourself be seen?

Want a more sensual, elevated sense of self? Do what hasn’t been done but still scares you. Maybe it’s a mindset change, adopting new behaviors, or cutting out toxic people from your life. Whatever you want is attainable; this time it’s about allowing yourself to have it.

Like the rose imagery, your petals are opening up, but will you allow yourself to be that rose? The rose that captures attention - that’s meant to be chosen from the field?

Allow yourself to blossom this year, with extra fire behind you.
