Good News & a Fire Horse Preview 🔥


Feburary 15, 2026

Cheers to a new day Star,

This week, let's take a breather. After our deep three-part series on liberation, I wanted to simply land here with you.

Lately, I've been learning all I can about the upcoming start to the Fire Horse Year on Feb 17, Happy Lunar New Year! I've been sitting with the energy. It's swift, potent, and asks us to stay grounded in our own source power. If you've been feeling that same undercurrent, a mix of urgency and possibility, you're not alone.

I recently shared some of my research for the fire horse year over in my Patreon community, The Constellation. And because this feels like a moment for openness, I've made that particular post free for everyone this week. Consider it a little preview of the kind of conversations happening there, and an invitation, if you're curious, to come closer.

Read my preview of the Fire Horse year here.

Now, settle in. Below you'll find your usual dose of good news and there were a few stories that really made me smile, I hope they make you smile too.

Be well and enjoy your week,
Elayna Ayo

It's a joy to connect with you here and I hope you feel the beautiful winds of change and not too much of that pollen on the wind 🤧 I'm feeling reenergized after a short break from publishing.

Feburary 23, 2026 Cheers to a new day Star, Wow, there's a fresh new energy around us! Can you feel it? Something has shifted and I'm feeling very energized and clear. I'll be honest the past two weeks before Feburary 17 (Lunar New Year/ Mardi Gras/Ring of Fire Eclipse) I was not feeling like myself. I was shedding my final year of the wood snake skin and it was my own ego and old idenitity that was connected to all the things I had lost. I know that I am not alone in the mass amount of loss...
