Remember we are still in the year of the Wood Snake and will be moving into the fast pace energy of the fire horse in February!
The Year of the Wood Snake (2025) was about introspection, shedding old skins, and quiet transformation, focusing on inner growth and releasing what no longer serves you with wisdom and intuition, while the transition to the Year of the Fire Horse (2026) brings a powerful shift from stillness to rapid, courageous action, igniting passion, freedom, and forward momentum, urging bold steps and embracing new opportunities after the Snake cleared the path.
The crossover energy feels like a mix of completion and restlessness, a final clearing before a surge of fiery, dynamic movement and big breakthroughs.
