Hero and Astrologer Ophira Edut returns to unpack the astrological shifts shaping 2026. She explains why this year marks a turning point in the decade, from the rise of the “fire horse” energy to rare planetary movements that haven’t occurred in centuries.

Learn how astrology can function as guidance rather than fate, why this period may push people toward self-leadership, and how the shift from Pisces to Aries energy could bring both momentum and volatility.

What You Will Learn

• [00:07:00] Astrology is not meant to control people’s choices, but act like a GPS that helps guide more aligned decisions
• [00:10:30] The first half of the decade carried slower yin energy with outer planets in earth and water signs, which encouraged inward reflection and spiritual exploration
• [00:11:30] Fire and air energy moving in during the second half of the decade creates forward momentum and pushes ideas that have been “percolating” into action
• [00:13:30] The Fire Horse only returns every 60 years, with the previous cycle occurring in 1966
• [00:15:30] Numerology marks 2026 as a “one year,” signaling the start of a new nine-year cycle after the closure and shedding of a nine-year
• [00:16:30] This year’s message encourages people—especially those in marginalized groups—to stop waiting for leaders and instead step into leadership themselves
• [00:19:30] Saturn and Neptune entering Aries bring structure and imagination together, combining discipline with creativity and healing
• [00:23:30] The shift from Pisces energy into Aries can feel abrupt, like being jolted awake, which may surface anger, bold action, and louder individual voices

Reshma Kearney is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, mindfulness guide, and solo mom of three who lost her husband Sean to suicide in 2022. A former military family, they had just begun what felt like their forever chapter when everything changed.

In this conversation, Reshma speaks openly about the stigma that kept Sean from asking for help, why she reframes "signs of suicide" as "signs of risk," and what those first impossible months of grief actually looked like. She shares how small, accessible mindfulness practices became lifelines for her and her kids, and why letting her children see her fall apart may be the most important thing she's ever done as a mother.

This episode covers suicide loss, parenting through grief, nervous system regulation, and what it looks like to find joy again without leaving your person behind.

What You Will Learn

• [00:10:14] Why Reshma was shocked but not surprised by her husband’s suicide after years of unresolved struggle
• [00:11:58] Her reframing of “signs of suicide” into signs of risk and why that distinction matters for survivors
• [00:13:41] The compounding stressors — deployment, multiple moves, career transition, and alcohol use — in the year before his death
• [00:16:04] How stigma in the military and medical fields made him fear that seeking help would damage his career
• [00:19:41] What the early months of grief looked like: functioning for her kids while internally feeling no future for herself
• [00:21:07] The small 20-minute walking practice that became the first step toward caring for her own nervous system
• [00:23:52] How each child expresses grief differently — movement and anger, journaling and art, or needing nature and openness
• [00:30:37] What “accessible mindfulness” really means: stacking simple gratitude and grounding practices into daily life rather than adding more to-dos
