Horses, Women & the Return of the Divine Feminine
Kim Shotola, Animal Communicator
November – December 2025 • Vol 4, No 19
The horse has always been very sacred to me. When you stand beside a horse, something happens. Your breath slows. Your mind softens. Your heart begins to beat in rhythm with theirs. Horses don’t see your masks, your to-do lists, or the roles you juggle. They see straight to the truth of who you are. To look into the eyes of the horse is to see your soul’s reflection.
This is why so many women are drawn to the horse—not just as companions, but as guides. Horses carry a medicine we deeply need right now: presence, strength, balance, and unconditional love. And in 2026, that medicine will be more important than ever.
The Sacred Timing of 2026
Every 60 years, a rare frequency returns—the Year of the Fire Horse. It is a cycle of transformation, courage, and rapid shifts. Fire Horse years call us to stop living by default and start riding forward with intention and awareness.
But fire without grounding can feel overwhelming. Many women will enter 2026 feeling unsteady, carrying fears about the future, or still weighed down by stories from the past. That’s why the horse is such a powerful ally. Grace, love, presence, power—this is what the horse offers:
- If you feel ungrounded or unmotivated, the horse helps you restore your energy and power.
- If you’re afraid of the future or trapped in old patterns, the horse helps you rewrite your story.
- If you’ve been giving your power away, the horse helps you reclaim it.
- If you’re in transition or feel stuck, the horse brings you back into rhythm with the heartbeat of life.
The Call of the Divine Feminine
We are living in a world that has been out of balance for too long. The pace, the pressure, the constant push of the masculine energy has left many of us depleted and disconnected from our essence.
The Divine Feminine is rising to restore balance — to remind us of the wisdom of flow, receptivity, intuition, and love. Women everywhere are being called to embody this energy more fully, not only for themselves, but for the healing of Mother Earth.
And horses are sacred allies in this rising. Their medicine is deeply feminine: heart-centered, intuitive, embodied, and present. They model a way of being that is powerful yet gentle, strong yet deeply connected.
When women gather with horses, something awakens. We remember our truth. We remember that strength doesn’t have to mean force. We remember that power can be rooted in presence. We remember that the world is waiting for us to bring this balance back.
Only four women will be part of this intimate circle.
If you are reading this and feel the pull in your heart, trust it. The horses are calling. They are ready to walk beside you—to mirror your strength, your freedom, and your destiny. This is your time to ride forward, not with fear, but with presence and power!
