On the New Moon on Tuesday, February 17th will be the Lunar New Year which will be the start of the Year Of The Horse. This is a 12-year cycle event symbolizing intense energy, action, freedom, and rapid change. Previous Horse years have been 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, and 1954.
This will be the year of the fire horse which happens about every 60 years. This energy brings cultural shifts, war, natural disasters, intense change, rebellion, and progress. Fire is energy, passion, enthusiasm, movement. Combined with the energy of the horse, this is amplified to an almost chaotic place. The last year of the fire horse was in 1966.

Independence & freedom โ Horses hate being confined. This year favors independence, travel, and breaking out of stale situations.
Energy & drive โ Itโs a fast paced year. Things move quickly, sometimes chaotically, but rarely stay still for long.
Confidence & charisma โ The Horse is associated with charm, visibility, and being noticed. This will be great for leadership, performance, and public roles or if you want to be seen in a certain role or situation. Stand out.
Progress through action โ Less talk, more doing. Success comes from decisiveness rather than over-planning.

Overall, the Year of the Horse is viewed as a catalyst year, less about quiet reflection, more about charging forward and trusting your momentum. If youโve been waiting for a push to act, this is traditionally considered a very good year for it.
