~ Fire Horse 2026 ~ I’ve been reading so much about the energetics of the year of the Fire Horse and what the dominant energies are on offer to work with. I’ve taken it all in but as always I wanted to check in with myself to see and feel what is true for me and maybe it may resonate for some of you. The Year of Fire Horse reflects the energy of the Summer Solstice; utmost Yang, movement, action, peak growth, Heat. All very apt and reflective however Ive been sensing that this can create a lot of pressure on us for some big changes and action which may be true for many of us but not all of us. To have a full expression of Yang there needs to be rooted, grounded Yin. Fire energy can be incredibly transformative but out of balance it can also be immensely destructive and uncomfortable especially when expressed in the body (I’m thinking LV Fire blazing and even Heart fire). We need to be able to move from a place of being rooted, being grounded in ourselves. I’m no expert on Horses but interestingly I have found myself crossing paths with different horses over the past year which has given me the opportunity to learn from them and this is what they has taught me so far. Horses can move at exceptional speeds; sometimes out of fear, sometimes as a pure expression of Joy and other times because they need to find food, safety, shelter and different spaces to graze. They are herd animals and by nature thrive in community of their herd. They are also protective Mothers and custodians of young. Horses are deeply intuitive animals and can sense how you are feeling, they mirror this back to you. They also have excellent memory capacity. Their movement is influenced by their intuition and discernment. Intuition being something that the system wants us to switch off, dull down and ignore. Yang reflects masculine energy; linear movement, daytime, the Sun. I believe we are moving away from a long time period of power over to one that relies more on us nurturing our intuition and capacity to discern. Intuition I think is something many people have pushed down in fear of being cast out or labelled different in some way. Just look at the forks created in our realities since 2020. I’ve also learnt that when Horses live alone they suffer psychologically and physically but being incredibly resilient they can live alone. However naturally horses live in herds. So what I am sitting with as the Lunar New Year draws closer is that the year of the Fire Horse may be, for some of us, about really listening to our intuition, guiding us when to move and when to ground, guiding us into community that enables us to thrive and in turn find our place, that a full expression of Yang comes from rooted and grounded Yin and that after so much shedding and snake energy in 2025 maybe we are being called to acclimatise to our environments so that our new skins can adapt from rawness into strong hides. However the energies of this year are feeling true for you I hope that it is filled with many blessings and it supports you as you go, confidently and in strength, on your path, Omie ☯️
