A horse loves freedom, and the weariest old work horse will roll on the ground or break into a lumbering gallop when he is turned loose into the open. - Gerry Rafferty
Happy Lunar New Year! We are moving into the Year of the Fire Horse. The predictions are that this will be a year where things will happen fast. You will have to be a careful yet daring and determined rider to stay in the saddle at such a quick pace.
In 2026 the restlessness of the Chinese zodiac animal horse combined with the intensity of the fire element. This is not a time to stand still. The New Year will bring transformation, speed and passion, new ideas, bold solutions, and a quick-paced change. It is the time to break free from old constraints, habits and thought patterns that hold you back. Prepare for action but choose your own direction if you can, and move with purpose.
As you embrace the fast moving horse, understand that the fire element brings some danger with it. Fire brings light and warmth but it can also bring destruction. Plan and prepare wisely but move without fear. If you need a breakthrough in your endeavor, now is the time for action. You may have to walk and trot before you move into a full gallop, but move you must.
