2026 = 1966 Fire Horse Lunar Year: It’s GO TIME!
⚡️Here in Sonoma County just before the dawn, the Fire Horse opened with a solar eclipse, followed by a local lightning storm. Thunder bellowed so strongly, the windows rattled—thankfully they didn’t shatter! This year, the Chinese Lunar New Year coincides with the Tibetan new year, Lent, and with the opening of Ramadan for billions of Muslims praying worldwide. Game on! 🔥
There is no stopping the heart (fire element) galloping ahead, but there is wisdom in how to maintain balance with this unique momentum. This is a time of transformation. If you have been watching on social media, the monks walking for peace truly embody this creative spark. Their timing, impeccable. What touched me most was the sincerity of the action itself. 💜
Their leader, Bhikku Pannakara, has expressed in speeches that he felt deeply sad and helpless witnessing how many are suffering at this time. As he meditated and sat with this discomfort, his heart became inspired to make this 2300 mile walk for peace. He sat with what was heavy, undigested, & unsettled. His heart alchemized the denser emotions into inspiration and singular action. The power of that sincerity created a momentum larger than the monks themselves; a peace movement that has brought healing and hope to millions. 🌏
As we navigate the creative passion of the fire horse, tend to the heart. Honor our suffering. Don’t look away. Don’t get lost rushing ahead or in fiery emotion burning out of control. Don’t let adversity or exhaustion dim hope. We’ve all been through a lot. It’s time. ❤️
So many of us are saying “Yes! Today will be my peaceful day.” 🙏🏿
