Happy Lunar New Year 🧧 Yang Fire Horse
We step into the Yang Fire Horse on the heels of the shedding and deep transformation carried through 2025’s Wood Snake. This transition moves in strong and undeniable. As a double Yang year, it calls us into radiant visibility, aligned action, and a steady building of momentum.
The Fire Horse arrives fierce and sure of itself. In Chinese astrology, the Horse carries bravery, resilience, and a powerful drive forward. While it knows when to pull back and restore in solitude, it is also deeply connected to community and collective movement. This is a year of coming together - of shared intention, collaboration, and creating change that can truly take root and unfold.
The Fire Horse is one of the rarest signs in the Chinese zodiac, last appearing in 1966, making this cycle especially potent and charged with possibility.
As the Fire element burns bright, remember the importance of balance. Fire that burns without grounding can quickly exhaust itself. Create gentle structure and self-care rituals that weave in the stabilizing presence of the other elements. Water cools and regulates the flame, while Earth steadies and contains it, allowing your energy to burn with purpose rather than depletion.
Move consciously with the current of the Fire Horse. Choose the direction you want your energy to flow, and allow this year to amplify your ideas, your creations, and your impact within your daily life, your work, and your community.
