Xīn Nián Kuài Lè-Happy New Year 新年快樂 ! Today on February 4 at 04:02 (UTC+8) in the Northern Hemisphere is the Solar start date–the actual astrological + seasonal start date of the year of the Bǐng Wǔ 丙午 Fire Horse 🌞🏇! Life+new growth begins in Spring, hence the Solar node of the beginning of Spring, Lì Chūn-Stand (up) Spring 立春, marks the official astrological start date of the Bǐng Wǔ 丙午 Fire Horse year. This looks to be a year of explosive creativity, movement, inspiration, transformational change and breakthroughs! There are few, if any, Kè 克 cycles happening within the pillars of the year. There is no looking back. The world as you know it is changing, and a new world order is launching. Are you ready to ride this journey?!
Yang Fire – Bǐng 丙 – is the call from the Heavenly Stem this year. Bǐng is Sun.🌞It is the Empress/Emperor above, shining bright, warming our spirits, and being a guiding leadership light. Bǐng 丙 the Sun can flicker here and there, challenging its focus. But Bǐng 丙 also likes routine, rising and setting at roughly the same time every day, thus etiquette, rituals and manners are important to them and respectful connectivity. Bǐng 丙 Yang Fire core constitutional selves, or Rì Yuán-Daymaster 日元, tend to be bright spirits, full of fun, joy and desire to share and connect with others. When in balance, they are our light in the darkness, see the positives, and our guiding light. When inspired, Fire in general moves at a rapid pace, faster than even a Wood sign, as its lightning-fast conductivity surges past all other energetics.
This year, Heaven’s descent of Yang Fire – Bǐng 丙 is with the Earthly Branch of Wǔ 午, the Horse, which contains the dominant Xíng 行 Earthly Branch energy of Dīng 丁 – Yin Fire, e.g. man-made fire, with a minor dash of Jǐ 己 – Yin Earth, e.g. the soil or ground we walk on. The Earthly Branch affects and influences the Heavenly Stem, so in this case, since we are adding more Fire to the Sun’s warmth, we are adding extra illumination, warmth and brightness – and extra charges of Fire’s expansiveness, movement and change, burning through and surging forward at a rapid pace. Many countries during this Bǐng Wǔ 丙午 Fire Horse time, have gone through major and rapid transformative changes, both positive and negative. Horse has a minor influence of the Jǐ 己 – Yin Earth as part of its constitution. This is groundedness, tolerance and patience. Find what keeps your footing as you navigate these global changes!
Globally speaking, we will likely see a lot of technological advances as a whole for the globe! Adapt to survive and thrive!
