First the Music.
Then the Words.
Preparing for the First Full Moon of the Fire Horse Year
Lantern Festival — March 3, 2026
On February 17, 2026, under the sacred New Moon that opened the Year of the Fire Horse, you planted a seed.
Perhaps you lit a candle.
Perhaps you wrote the words “I choose…” or “This year I become…”
Perhaps you felt something stir — quiet, powerful, undeniable.
Now we approach March 3, 2026, the first Full Moon of the lunar year, celebrated across many Asian traditions as the Lantern Festival — a night of illumination, blessing, and revelation.
At Crown of Light, we honor this moment as the first activation point of your 2026 intention.
The spark you set in darkness is ready to meet the light.
🌑 Reflecting Back to the New Moon
The New Moon of February 17 was a womb — unseen, interior, potent.
Since that night, ask yourself:
- What has shifted internally?
- What unexpected insight or emotion surfaced?
- Where have I already been called to act differently?
- What resistance has appeared?
The Fire Horse does not move passively. It accelerates growth. Even subtle inner shifts matter. Even discomfort is sacred.
Transformation rarely announces itself gently. It begins as friction.
Honor whatever has moved within you these past two weeks.
🏮 The Meaning of the First Full Moon

What was hidden begins to glow.
Your intention, once private, now seeks embodiment.

1️⃣ Return to Your Intention
Retrieve the paper you sealed on February 17.
Read it slowly. Out loud.
Notice:
- Does it still resonate?
- Does it feel stronger?
- Does it require refinement?
If needed, adjust wording so it feels fully aligned with who you are now.
