🧧🏮 Lunar New Year 🏮🧧

The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar. It falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice on December 21.

Each year the lunar new year, as celebrated by many East Asian countries including China, Bhutan, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Tibet and Vietnam, falls on a different date than on the Gregorian calendar. The dates usually range sometime between January 21 and February 20.

This year, the lunar new year falls on 17th February 2026.

🔥🐴 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse 🐴🔥

The horse is a symbol for dynamic, fast-paced energy, driving forward.

In combination with the Fire Element, this energy also has passion & enthusiasm, a desire for freedom & self-expression.

The Fire Element’s link to the Heart brings with it a potential for exciting romance, or deeper emotional bonds with those we hold dearest. As well as more social opportunities & connections with others.

Yet this energy can also bring heightened emotions, or intense emotional flares that require mindful management.

Time in nature, calm meditation, gentle qigong or somatic exercises can help reduce this intensity, calm the nervous system & soften any anxiety that comes up to bother the Heart.

What does your Lunar sign say about you for 2026, Year of the Horse?

The essence and Spirit of each animal helps us to see one angle of who we are. Since all of the signs are connected, all signs can learn from and influence one another.

Tao is the way things happen when you stop trying to make them happen.
It is the water flowing downhill, the bird singing at dawn.
The Tao is not a thing, it is a process — the unfolding of life without effort.

Although Imbolc has passed, you are still in Winter.

And late winter isn’t a season for reinvention. It’s a season for survival with awareness.

Remember to stay warm, get in those early nights and practise some qigong!

February 17, 2026 marks the beginning of Chinese New Year: the most important holiday in China, involving dragon dances, festivals, and family gatherings where “lucky” foods are enjoyed together.

The auspicious symbolism of these foods is based on their pronunciation or appearance. Usher in the Year of the Fire Horse by feasting on some of these lucky foods.

Fish for Prosperity- In Chinese, the word for ‘fish’ sounds like ‘surplus.’

Dumplings and Spring Rolls for Wealth - The shape of Chinese dumplings resembles ancient currency—ingots—while the shape of the spring roll resembles gold bars.

Good Fortune Fruit- The Chinese words for ‘orange’ and ‘success’ sound the same. Plus, one method of writing ‘tangerine’ contains the Chinese character for ‘luck’.

Nian Gao Cakes for Success - These delicious cakes come with the hope that every year will be better than the last.

Noodles for Longevity and Happiness - Noodles represent hope for a long life. Chinese chefs do not break noodles when cooking, as a noodle’s length is symbolic of the length and quality of a person’s life.
