Several people have told me they were eagerly awaiting what I had learned from my reading about the Chinese New Year.
For several years now, I have been fascinated by the complexity of Chinese metaphysics, and at the same time by its depth.
Studying it is one of my tools for personal growth: it helps me bring more “flow” into my life, learn to go with the current instead of resisting what is, and grow as much as possible toward the best version of myself…
So here, in all modesty, is what I would like to share with you about this new year of the Yang Fire Horse, which promises to be a colourful one..!
Like Fire, which burns and transforms, 2026 promises to be transformative. The nature of its energy will propel us forward. Whatever is no longer aligned in our lives will probably not be able to continue. Life will ask us to take a stand, to move forward rather than deliberate. The changes may seem too big or too fast for some, and for others they will be exactly what they were waiting for..!
In Chinese energetics, Fire corresponds to the Sun, to consciousness and to the spiritual intelligence of Life, or Spirit (Shen). When it is balanced, its energy brings creativity, inspiration, passion and joy. By nature, Fire loves to give, share and connect. It loves to inspire and be inspired. Its sparks and its light generate ideas, especially in digital technology, theatre and film, and teaching.
The Horse symbolizes movement, speed, the nervous system and freedom. When it is balanced, its inner Fire is driven by love, warmth and compassion. Out of balance, it can show up as impatience, impulsiveness or scattered energy.
The combined qualities of Yang Fire and the Horse make 2026 a year of creativity, rapid change, inspiration, connection and technological advances (including AI).
It is a year in which we will need to learn to calm our nervous system, because in excess, Fire can create a feeling of being overwhelmed or exhausted, or make it hard to stay focused. It can bring sleep problems and mental restlessness. Hence the importance of emotional regulation, grounding and restorative activities.
2026 is also a year to question our beliefs. To accept seeing the shadow sides that are about to be revealed. It is the stories we tell ourselves that create polarity. By making choices aligned with our Heart (Shen/Spirit), we will raise our frequencies and be able to have a positive influence on our relationships. The wisdom of the Ancients reminds us that we are part of a greater whole, and that each of us can contribute, in our own way, to the balance of the world, starting by acting within Ourselves and around us.
2026 calls for COURAGE to grow in awareness. To be ready for new explorations. To be open while keeping our boundaries. To act with discernment. And yes, 2026 will be a vibrant, luminous, creative and possibly disconcerting year..!
