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.
