When I think of the coming Fire Horse year (2026), I try to stay real too: it’s not just metaphor or magic. It is fire — intense energy, speed, heat. And if I want to actually meet that fire in a grounded, embodied way — feel it in me without being consumed — here’s how I can do it.
What Fire Horse really brings — and what that means for me
- The Fire Horse is known for bold energy, passion, drive, sometimes impulsiveness or restlessness
- It promises movement, change, intensity — maybe upheaval, maybe breakthroughs
- That energy isn’t subtle or slow. It asks something of me: clarity, presence, rootedness — so that I don’t get swept away in wildness or burned by recklessness.
So for me, meeting the Fire Horse means: not denying that fire, but offering it a body that’s ready — steady, alive, open.
What I can actually do — practices and modes that let me ride it, gently, powerfully
- I keep my inner soft spaces alive — the’dark calm’ from my Yin Yoga and Sound Healing sessions — because that softness is a container. When fire comes, it needs soil, not kindling.
- I let breath and body be full: breathing deep into ribs and belly, letting limbs feel alive and grounded — because Fire Horse energy rises in a body that is alive, breathable, real.
- I stay anchored: regular routines, time to rest and recover, small grounding rituals (tea, slow walks, silence). The fire will want to gallop — and I want to ride with reins, not be thrown off.
- I honour the fire by giving it expression — creativity, movement, decisions, projects, words — channeling that intensity into something tangible, real, meaningful. Not just letting it sputter or explode.
- I stay aware: watching impulses, staying conscious, balancing strength with gentleness — so fire becomes warmth and light, not burn.
How this feels in the body, in real moments
Sometimes — after a Yin-session, with the sound bath leaving a humming in my bones — I feel the first flicker. A slight pulse in the spine, a tightening around the heart, a quickening of breath. It could be longing, desire, energy, or fear. But I let it sit. I don’t chase or smother it. I breathe. I hold myself. I feel it.
And then — I let movement rise. A stretch, a soft dance, a walk through cold air, a sudden impulse to create. The fire becomes alive. Not destructive. Alive. Alive in flesh, in choice, in being awake.
When I hold a warm cup of tea afterward — maybe herbal, maybe something grounding — I let that heat anchor me. It’s like I brought the fire home.
Why this matters — meeting Fire Horse with respect and readiness
Because Fire Horse doesn’t wait. It moves. It surprises. It demands. If I come unready — emotional, spiritual, physical — it can burn. But if I come awake, embodied, grounded — I can ride it. I can lean into its power without being broken. I can let its wildness become a kind of freedom: freedom in motion, freedom in creation, freedom in presence.
So yes — I meet the Fire Horse. Not as a myth or charm. Not as something outside me. I meet it in my spine, in my bones, in my breath. I meet it as something I can ride with clarity, dignity, heart.
Join me — on 28th December I am holding a 2-hour workshop dedicated to getting ready for the Fire Horse energy of 2026.
