I know this piece is a little late, but since I have only just started to write my blogs I thought I would still add it here now. As some of you know I am extremely interested in Astrology, plus I follow the Chinese New Year – which is the Year of the Fire Horse.
This is a time of powerful awakening with the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse and a Solar Ring of Fire Eclipse in Aquarius, arriving on the same day: February 17, 2026.
The convergence of these rare events fuels bold decisions, momentum, empowerment, and personal transformation. It’s a unique opportunity to plant seeds for long-term goals and elevate your frequency with renewed courage, igniting passion and creative expression. This year is all about action—making moves, taking risks, and bringing dreams to fruition. The energy of fire amplifies creativity and opens space for growth.
This double fire Lunar New Year event only occurs once every sixty years, often signaling significant societal shifts and major global developments.

East Asian Medicine Insights: The Fire Element
In East Asian Medicine, the Fire Element is the most Yang of the five phases, closely aligned with the Sun Fork and the Solar 7th. It is also related to forward momentum and the energy to move forward, which brings Earth Day tools into play. When working with fire energy, remember to balance the yin and nourish yourself to counteract the intense heat. The Fire Element is associated with the Heart and Small Intestine. It governs blood circulation, the pulse, and houses our spirit—the Shen. Joy, warmth, courage, and vitality are among the positive qualities the Fire Element brings.
So I hope you find 2026 is a very creative and energising year for you and yours.
