THE YEAR OF THE HORSE (Fire Horse)

West January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026
East February 17, 2026 – February 5, 2027

 

The Year of the Fire Horse

I am observant, poised, and waiting for a signal

Knowing my power rests in my instincts and accuracy

Positioning my head and posturing for success

Ready to outperform anyone who challenges me

I know my destiny and what lies ahead

And recognize not to waste time or energy on trivialities

I’m in the moment, ready to execute whatever’s necessary

As I surpass everyone’s expectations

I know my worth and will bask in my good fortune

Including my entourage to celebrate alongside me

For I offer both comfort and equality

To those who are trustworthy and attentive

I AM THE HORSE

 

 The year of the Horse will sprint into action without looking back or letting the past dictate what’s to come. It’s a new dawn and a world that’s clipping along at such a fast pace, there is no rhyme or reason, just chaos and hope that when the dust settles, there is greater unification and desire to treat our amazing planet with due respect, continuity, and the cosmic nurturing necessary for all its inhabitants to live in peace and harmony.  A time of freedom to run with the wind and to get along with one another. It’s a tall order I the Horse requests, especially when the culprits that hold the key prioritize greed over nature, kindness, and compassion.

Is my galloping in vain? Will the saying “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink” mean that the year of the Horse may not be able to achieve freedom, peace, and love, so leave well enough alone?  

Astrologically speaking, there is a shift taking place in the heavens. A war of sorts. Some that may be controlled, while others are beyond our comprehension or ability to manipulate. And as we move throughout 2026, we should be thinking collectively, yet heading into this this year of what should be filled with passion, adventure, freedom, we are more divided than ever before.  

So, what can we learn from the Fire Horse? To run with the wind, feel, taste, and desire the freedom that comes with living in unison with nature and all it’s wonders. Let’s not forget that together we make things whole. Collectively we make a difference. The Fire Horse represents a race against time, striving to protect what mother nature has provided.

The stakes are high and the falsification and greed threatening, We must strive for honest and reputable representation. Honor freedom of speech, and practice kindness and compassion if we intend to flourish instead of digressing.

It’s time to challenge negativity and greed, and to push back against any sign of disrespect toward mother nature and the survival of such a lush and vibrant planet earth. Let’s join forces, do our part, and protect the gift of life, our environment, freedom and our future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Opportunity is ripe, and energy is high. Embrace what excites you and turn your dreams into a reality. Let your impatience work for you instead of against you. Don’t wait for others to step in and help; initiate what you want and take credit for what you achieve. Reach for the stars, leave no stone unturned, and be ready to leap in the most desirable direction without looking back. It’s up to you to make things happen, and the sooner your mindset takes hold of a plan that suits you to a tee, the quicker you will reap the rewards.
