We are currently going through the transition from the year of the Wood Snake to the year of the Fire Horse so this adds to the tension and upheaval we are feeling. The Fire Horse is full on action too so don’t expect anything warm and fuzzy. It’s a hell of a fast paced energy and aggressive male energy as stated in my 2026 psychic predictions.
Please make sure that you keep up your grounding, shielding and keeping your energies high. Practice meditation, mindfulness, and wear crystals that promote spiritual and psychic protection, such as amethyst, black tourmaline or black obsidian, selenite, lapis lazulis, labradorite, blue sodalite and clear quartz.
Do the golden grounding cord meditation, gold light yourself and your home. You may even want to place selenite above your door on the inside to keep out negative energy. If you feel that you have any negative energy in your body and aura, please try my gold light meditation using a gold light dragnet. You might need to do this for a couple of days if you’re not feeling any better. Please use a space clearing mist on your aura and body. You can have a psychic wound on your back so spray the space clearing mist on your back.

For protection and cleansing, these essential oils are good options that you can use in a base of jojoba oil such as Frankincense, Cedarwood, Sage, Juniper, Thyme, Lemon, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Galbanum is an oil that clears blocks also. I have never used this though. Always remember it’s your firm intention that makes all of this work. A half hearted effort will not achieve anything.
There are a few other oils that can be used too but go with what resonates with you. I buy my oils from https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/ and his prices are pretty good. I have known this guy for over 25 years off and on as he used to live near me.
For crystals you are best using, the lovely Amethyst and you need a reasonable size one such as a small geode or tower, and place it where you spend most of your time. Next I recommend a Selenite tower, for a few reasons, it is a self cleaning crystal that you don’t need to clean and charge. It charges other crystals by being next to them.
Black Tourmaline, the most protective of all Tourmaline as it puts a protective barrier or field of energy around your aura. Black Obsidian works like a mirror and reflects back the negative energy to the original source of origin. Labradorite puts a shield up against psychic attacks, whether they are deliberate or by people fixated on you. Labradorite protects you from energy vampires too. Which can be worn as a bracelet or pendant and will act like a suit of psychic armour. If worn as a bracelet, wear it on your left wrist as that is the receiving side of your body. Stopping the negative energies in their tracks.
Much blessings and warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone who needs it
