Thank you to Alison Keen for this interesting explanation of the energies around us all this year.
In 2026 we have a rare start to the Lunar New Year. On 17th February the Lunar year of the Fire Horse begins with a Solar Eclipse and it is also a New Moon.
A Fire Horse New Year only comes every 60 years, and it shakes everything.. Fire Horse energy is known historically for rebellions, rapid change, breakthroughs and intense self reinvention. Expect accelerated time lines, the things you have been avoiding will demand action. This energy burns away stagnation and pushes us to confront what has been stuck and forces us into choices we have been avoiding for years.
Your identity, relationships and purpose gets rewritten. The Fire Horse Year can activate dramatic career pivots, endings that open better beginnings and risky decisions we suddenly feel brave enough to make. We will rediscover our voice enabling us to be our authentic self bringing independence. People who have felt βasleepβ wake up.
February 17th also brings the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse. This event occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun but does not fully cover it leaving a glowing circle of light in the sky. Spiritually, the Ring of Fire represents purification and divine protection. Eclipses are known as turning points, they remove what no longer belongs in your life and accelerate destiny. The fire symbolises transformation, burning away fear doubt and outdated paths. This is not a subtle energy. It is bold and life changing, as we release what no longer serves us.
The New Moon brings potent energy as it unfolds in Aquarius, the visionary and innovative air sign where the Sun and Moon unite. New Moons mark fresh starts, a powerful time to plant seeds and set intentions. This one however carries an electric edge of unpredictability. Expect insights, breakthroughs and unexpected shifts as new beginnings start to take form.
Happy Year of The Horse Solar Eclipse New Moon!! ππβοΈβοΈπβ¨π«
