Akashic Magic for the 1stQuarter of 2026
As I was opening the records, I was immediately struck by a spacious feeling to the records themselves. And I was seeing images of wide open fields and roads where perhaps there had been an obstacle and it had been moved out of the way.
And I saw the words clearing space.
And that was followed by this kind of bigger title, “The Great Clearing,” which feels like the theme that the Akashic has given us for the energy of the first quarter of 2026.
So with that, let's dive in a little bit more deeply and ask the question:
What is the overall energy of the first quarter of the year 2026?
2026 feels like a very active year. It's a year where I feel like there's a lot of movement, a lot of activity. It feels like last year, 2025, there was a lot of processing going on. I'm seeing a lot of mental energy, thinking, learning, educating ourselves, uh, taking information in, sifting through information. It feels like a lot of mental activity, heart activity, activity that was happening more on an emotional inward level for the past year.
And I feel this newfound sense of active Yang energy as we move into 2026. And I don't feel an immediate pickup of that. It doesn't feel like we're going to step into January and hit the ground running.
More, it feels like a slow and steady build throughout the year, where we are going to see momentum as the year progresses.
And for this first quarter, what I'm seeing is a sense of certainty coming through, where individuals may feel more empowered to take action steps.
It feels like there's a stronger sense of confidence and the path that each of us might be on and feeling more certain of the steps we need to take. And almost this energy of confidently taking strides towards something.
How is this energy likely to show up for us in the first quarter of 2026?
You might start the new year with a sense of emptiness or openness, a sense of vast spaciousness.
This might show up differently for each of us. For some, it might feel like there is so much blank space, and there might not necessarily be a rush to fill it or to put something into that space.
For others, it might feel like this energy is being received differently, almost as if there's a sense of. “now what?” Like when something major has happened and you have come to the end of a project or come to a completion on something, and you wake up the next morning and have a sense of letdown or a sense of, “I don't know what to do next. I don't know what to do with myself.”
So there might be a little bit of energy mixed in with some of that for you, especially as we move into January of 2026. It feels like that will start to shift in February and even more so in March.
But if there's a sense of blank slightness to the beginning of the year and you don't immediately fill your vision board or your to-do list with all sorts of things, don't worry that you are missing this energy or that you are not moving fast enough.
The Akashic is saying there is plenty of time throughout 2026 to find your momentum and to find your pace.
This initial cardinal stage of the new year, this beginning stage, is really one more of observing the open space, continuing to put your decks in a row, and feeling that sense of gathering momentum in order to move in a more aligned direction.
What guidance do the records have for how to best navigate the energy of the first quarter of 2026?
Anything goes is what I'm hearing. What I'm hearing in the records is that there is often an expectation as one moves into the start of a new calendar year that you should be somehow doing something more or getting a jumpstart on your goals. And certainly if that speaks to you and you are in a headspace or a life space right now where you feel like doing that, more power to you.
But what I'm feeling from the records is anything might go this first quarter, that there is a sense of trying new things, experimenting, taking a few steps in one direction, realigning, recalibrating, realizing that it's not quite what you need right now.
So the guidance feels like staying open and staying curious, not attaching an idea to how it's supposed to look, but instead allowing the journey to unfold and leaning into each day with a sense of curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a sense of intentionality.
I feel from the records that there is kind of this huge spectrum right now of where people might be at.
Some people do feel like they might hit the ground running and they have quite a bit of momentum and they have spent perhaps the fall of 2025 and the first part of the winter gathering speed and like they are ready to go. They've got the vision plan.
But what I'm feeling for more like the bell curve of that spectrum is that it might feel a bit like a lackluster start or a start where there's a little bit of laziness to the energy, where the energy might start out a little bit more muted for some, a little bit slower, a little bit easing into things.
There's a sense of allowing yourself to ease and going at your own pace.
What I'm hearing from the records is that when we tell you this is a year of action, a year of movement, that doesn't mean everybody has to move at the same pace. That doesn't mean there's an expectation attached to how movement should look. It doesn't mean that there is a timeline attached to that or a speed that you have to aspire to.
This isn't a race. This is part of the journey. And a natural part of this journey for many throughout the year 2026 is going to be movement.
It's going to be whether it's relocating in a geographical sense, relocating in your emotional geography, your identity, how you might understand yourself, how you're moving your energy in the world, how you are perhaps interfacing with spirit, your spiritual relationship, your relationship to the cosmos, your relationship to your community and the people around you. I just feel a sense of movement, but the guidance is to remove expectation for how that has to look.
This is not necessarily linear movement where you are going to move very quickly from point A to point B. There could be a meandering, there could be more of a circular pathway that some of you take.
So the more you can approach this movement idea, this year of higher energy and activity and really seeing the direction that you want to go, the more you can approach that in a nonlinear sense, where you perhaps set small incremental goals and work on the next few right steps, or allow yourself to play with the idea movement in a more creative way, to look at it or break it down in a way that is less linear.
How can I move for love today?
How can I take an action step towards love today? How could I take an action step towards self-care?
How could I take an action step towards being a better friend, better in my relationships, better in my mindfulness practice, whatever it is, you fill in the blank with whatever it is that you want to work on.
There is this general encouragement to play with the idea of movement and see it as a more creative, adaptable, fluid path, as opposed to one that is about structure and rigidity and having to meet a certain goal.
Part of what I'm feeling is that a lot of the space that was cleared in the year 2025 is the expectations around how you thought it should look, how you thought it would look, coming to terms with how it really happened and allowing yourself to feel more peaceful with where you're at now.
I feel a lot of cutting of losses that happened, a lot of evaluation and that reckoning type energy where you just look at how things played out and what you learned and what you might have done differently, and just coming face to face with this is where things are at, and how can I work with that in a way that's more detached and radically accepting.
And so there's been this opening of new space and this opening that's going to allow for a lot of momentum in the year 2026.
But momentum can look very differently than one might expect it to as you have been learning, is what the record said. So this idea of anything goes, anything is possible feels like direct guidance for releasing expectation for how it's going to look.
It also includes opening up to the possibility of dreaming how it could look, imagining what might be possible, what might you like to grow this year, allowing for the openness in the akashic field, in the field of energy.
And so that allowance of letting yourself dream and imagine and be more expansive in your thinking.
Is there anything else the records want us to know as we move into the first quarter of 2026?
Dreams are important right now, is what I'm hearing.
And this is going back to that twofold energy of anything goes, which is that releasing expectation for how it's going to look or how it should look, and just allowing yourself to be more fluid and adaptable.
But there's that twofold meaning there of allowing oneself to dream, allowing oneself to imagine, well, what if anything goes? How might my life look differently? How might I dream in a more expansive way?
There is a lot of good manifestation energy in this upcoming year.
And I feel that this first quarter is an excellent time to plant the seeds, almost as if we broke the year up into four quarters- which it is -and the first quarter was more about what am I seeding? What am I intentioning? Beginning to plant those seeds and thinking about this year as a build and going through that full crop cycle.
And so this first quarter feels like an excellent time to think about intentions, to think about what you might like to build this year, where would you like to be at the end of the year- without attaching too heavily to an idea of exactly what that is supposed to look like- where might you like to be?
If you would like to grow some sort of abundance in your life, grow love, grow relationship, grow prosperity, grow creativity. If you want to expand in some way, if you want to grow your intuition, could you imagine yourself sitting here a year from now and saying to yourself—
“Wow, I never dreamed that I could grow whatever it is that you're working on in such a way. I never imagined that it would look so magical. I never knew how expansive this could be for me—”
Without necessarily needing to know the form, but just allowing yourself to dream about the essence of what you would like to create. To find those key words and qualities and energies that you want to vibrate at this year, that you want to grow your frequency and your strength and frequency in, and to put your intentions down around that.
Then allow yourself to let that next action step that you might need to do to grow that come to you. Allow it to unfold.
So this is an excellent time for dreaming, for believing in your dreams, for believing in yourself, for seeing yourself, your slightly future version of self, and allowing for the possibility of anything this upcoming year— especially the possibility of you.
