As we step into a new calendar year, we are still energetically completing the final stages of the Yin Wood Snake year. In this solo episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Jo offers a calm, reflective January 2026 Feng Shui forecast, guiding you through this important transitional moment before the Fire Horse year fully arrives in February.
January carries Yin Earth Ox energy — a stabilising, refining influence that invites reflection, integration, and thoughtful preparation. Jo explores how the lessons of 2025 are crystallising now, why this is a powerful month for making real commitments rather than empty resolutions, and how to work consciously with the intensifying fire energy of Period 9.
This episode covers:
The energetic themes of January 2026 and the closing phase of the Snake year
How to balance the rising Fire Horse energy with rest, reflection, and Yin practices
Flying Star Feng Shui guidance for the month, including the most supportive areas of the home and those best kept calm
How to use the South, Southwest, Northwest, and Centre sectors for creativity, opportunity, vitality, and momentum
Areas to approach with care, including the North, Northeast, and East
BaZi animal insights for the month, highlighting which signs may find January easier or more challenging
Why meditation, nature, art, and stillness are especially important right now
This is a grounding, practical episode designed to help you enter 2026 feeling prepared, centred, and energetically aligned — rather than rushed or overwhelmed. A perfect listen if you’re looking to start the year with intention, clarity, and balance.
