THE YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE 2026

There are years that move quietly through us, asking for patience, listening, tending. And then there are years that arrive like thunder in the blood, unmistakable, unignorable, stirring something ancient and untamed in the marrow. 2026 opens as the Year of the Fire Horse, and she does not come softly.

The Horse is one of the oldest soul-symbols humanity has ever known. Long before she carried riders, she carried power itself ; speed, instinct, vitality, the raw life force that moves a being forward through terrain both visible and unseen. Across myth and memory, the Horse is the bridge between worlds: earthbound yet wind-driven, muscular yet intuitive, a creature that knows when to run, when to stand, and when to sense danger before the mind has formed a thought. To meet the Horse is to meet movement with intelligence.

The Horse teaches us momentum , She wastes no energy. Instead, she responds to rhythm, direction, and trust. She mirrors the nervous system, the breath, the body’s deep knowing. When we are aligned, she carries us effortlessly. When we are divided within ourselves, she resists, rears, or throws us back into awareness. The Horse is a truth-teller, she reveals where we are present and where we are not.

The fire wisdom is set alight in us this year. Fire brings heat, urgency, courage, and transformation. It quickens what has been dormant and exposes what has been suppressed. When Fire enters the Horse, instinct becomes uncompromising. The call to move forward grows louder than the voice of fear and we are asked to move with embodied clarity. The body knows before the mind is ready, and the Fire Horse insists we listen.

This year asks for mastery of inner fire as the Horse has always required relationship and attunement. To ride the Fire Horse well is to cultivate inner coherence: heart, body, desire, and direction moving as one. Where there is inner conflict, the fire scatters. Where there is inner truth, the fire becomes propulsion.

The Horse is also a symbol of freedom and sovereignty , having the ability to choose direction and commit to it fully and run with purpose. She teaches us that freedom without direction exhausts, while freedom aligned with truth becomes destiny in motion. For women especially, the Horse carries deep symbolic memory. She is the wild feminine before domestication ; the instinctual woman who trusts her timing, her cycles, her pace. She knows when to move, when to graze, when to rest, and when to flee. The Fire Horse awakens this buried intelligence. She stirs the woman who has been taught to endure rather than choose, to stay rather than respond, to dull her instincts in order to be acceptable. We can see this year is going to ask us to be truly in our body and being accutely aware of the instinctual self. Under her influence, what is false will feel unbearable because the body will no longer carry it. What is true will feel urgent because life force moves toward what feeds it. Relationships, roles, and identities that rely on self-abandonment will strain under the heat. The Horse does not tolerate divided lives and demands congruence.

The Fire Horse reminds us direction of travel towards our destiny and purpose. Purpose is revealed through movement, not thinking about it , but actually doing it! When we move toward what enlivens us, the path forms beneath our hooves. When we remain still out of fear, the fire turns inward and burns.

-This year you must try to reallt feel your body as oracle, get to yoga ! Do somatic work so you feel your body in all her movement.
-To trust the moment when something in you says now.
-To choose momentum over paralysis.
-To honour the deep animal wisdom that knows where life wants to go next.

The fire horse will carry us back into alignment , where instinct, desire, courage, and truth move as one living force.

As we step toward the Year of the Fire Horse, I want to speak honestly and from the heart.

This is not a year to rush through unconsciously, nor one to sit out and hope to catch up later. The Horse brings a very particular medicine pace, rhythm, embodied movement, and integration. When we move with her consciously, life begins to flow with clarity and momentum. When we resist her, the year can feel restless, intense, or overwhelming.

The Horse teaches us how to move , not faster than our truth, but no longer frozen in places where life has already moved on.

Because of this, I’ve created two ways to walk this year with intention and support, depending on how you feel called to engage.

🌹 Unleash the Feminine Power of the Horse — 28-Day Journey (€99)
A self-paced psychospiritual course for women who wish to work independently with the symbolism, practices, and feminine wisdom of the Horse. This journey offers grounding, insight, and embodied tools you can return to throughout the year, helping you integrate the Horse’s energy in your own rhythm.

🌹 The Fire Horse Year Circle (€444)
For those who feel the call for deeper continuity and shared presence, this is a year-long sacred container. Alongside the full course, you’ll receive monthly written calls to action from the Fire Horse and monthly live gatherings with me, allowing the year to unfold slowly, consciously, and with support. This path is about integration over time — letting movement become medicine rather than pressure.

This year is about moving in truth. Listening to the body. Letting instinct lead. Allowing life to reorganise from the inside out.

If you’ve felt that quiet (or not so quiet) inner nudge that says this year matters, I encourage you not to ignore it. The Horse rewards those who choose presence and rhythm over urgency and force.
The Horse has a way of making herself known.

With love,
