Lunar New Year 2026 | Year of the Horse

The energy of this year feels different, it felt different before 2025 was ending.

“This shift marks the beginning of a new energetic cycle: it is a moment of collective renewal which, this year, coincides with the start of Eclipse season, a time of accelerated change and transformation. The Fire Horse carries intense Yang energy and ushers in a need for speed, passion, and bold forward movement. The upcoming year favors courage, independence, and decisive action, and asks us to move toward the direction that instinctively calls us. Moon Omens

Personally I am leaning into this energy, it feels aligned, it feels more effortless, flow with ease. Much like listening to my body of what she wants and doesn’t want, leaning into that intuition with full trust.

I am learning about this energetic cycles of where big energy is shifting, I find it fascinating and I know I am still skimming the surface of what I can learn.

For example I heard multiple times over the weekend to do any major/deep cleaning the day before the new astrological year, including washing hair. Honestly, this astrological year makes even more sense than Jan, its even closer to spring and just feels more fresh/new. Also entering the Year of the Fire Horse, one would be drawn to red, thinking fire, however too much fire could be detrimental, so earth colours would be better suited.
