It’s happening!!! The 2026 Lunar New Year begins today!!
February 17, 2026, marks the start of the powerful Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology. The year ahead promises rapid change, vitality, movement, passion, and freedom. Fire Horse years are also known for bringing spiritual transformation.
I believe in the art of astrology. My grandmother was an astrologer; I lived with her when I was growing up. She fostered in me a deep interest in what the stars have to tell us. She did my chart the day I was born, and so much has come to fruition over the years.
I’m really excited about this coming year. Occurring once every 60 years, a Fire Horse year symbolizes intense, rapid, transformative change. It is thought to be a volatile, but highly creative time, favoring decisive, bold action over hesitation. If there is a project or dream you have been putting off, this is the year to git ‘er done! The Fire Horse starts today. Get ready for a ride!
The 2026 Year of the Fire Horse (Feb 17, 2026 – Feb 6, 2027) brings a fast-paced, transformative spiritual energy marked by passion, independence, and a need for bold action. You might also notice yourself breaking free of restrictive, old patterns. It can also be a year of chaos. It might even be a time of a kind of "purification by fire" that burns away illusions.
Release: This can be a year of burning away inauthentic aspects of your life. This year has the potential for a kind of "spiritual initiation" that can turn all the struggles you have previously faced into wisdom and transformation.
Take Action: This is the year to listen to your inner voice, take risks unapologetically, and pursue your inner freedom. It is not a year to be passive; it is a year to stand up and take action. The things you focus on can expand quickly during the energy of a Fire Horse year.
How to Navigate the Energy: Daily grounding techniques are crucial for managing the year's high-speed, often chaotic nature. Spend more time in nature. Cultivate inner calm and trust your inner wisdom, rather than giving in to reckless impulses or burnout.
Last year was a Wood Snake year, a great year of healing, letting go, shedding, and preparing. Now, this Fire Horse year represents bold independence, intensity, building, launching, and expanding projects of the heart. It calls you to go forward with passion and enthusiasm. I’m looking forward to being on the journey with you during the year ahead. Blessings
