So lately, everywhere I look I keep seeing posts about The Year of the Fire Horse.

I was curious, so I had to look it up and here are some fun facts:

The Lunar New Year is here, marking the start of a new cycle.

The Year of the Fire Horse is one of the most intense and powerful combinations in the Chinese zodiac.

When it occurs

• Fire Horse years repeat every 60 years

• Recent ones: 1906, 1966

• Next one: 2026

What it represents

• Horse = freedom, movement, independence, charisma, speed

• Fire element = passion, intensity, visibility, transformation

Together, Fire Horse energy is:

• bold and unstoppable

• highly independent and rebellious

• fast-moving, risk-taking, and magnetic

• focused on freedom, truth, and self-direction

Energetically speaking, Fire Horse years tend to:

• break old structures

• accelerate change

• bring leadership shifts

• reward courage — but punish stagnation

• push people to live more authentically, even if it’s uncomfortable

The Year of the Fire Horse is about burning through what’s false and riding hard toward freedom.

So then I started thinking… how does this relate to me, and what inspiration can I draw from this? I’m not really sure yet, but it does make me think — and I do like the vibe.

Like… I can feel the spark. I want momentum. I want to create and move forward.
But I also know myself — if I’m not careful, I can turn “passion” into pressure.

Always fun when something random makes us reflect…What do you think? Does this Fire Horse vibe feel exciting… or slightly unhinged? 😅
