2026: Your Year To Fly, Then Rest

The year of the Yang Fire Horse.

by Dr. Jaime Fritsch, DACM, L.Ac.

2026 is the year of the Yang Fire Horse, the hottest combination of the 60 possible combinations that cycle through the lunar years of Chinese Medicine. While that means things will get hot both literally and metaphorically, it also means that embedded within that extreme heat is its opposite manifestation which is a cooling, yin energy.

That means things should very likely peak in intensity this Spring/Summer, and then begin to cool off. The key is to keep your head cool while things get wild and then be ready to head back inward and focus on your inner world: rest, time with family, being at home, etc.

As solar/yang energy is the ultimate healer, this is a great year for most healing endeavors. Ride the wave into great health!

If you want to go deeper with the Yang Fire Horse and learn what it could bring for you, I recommend Dr. C.T. Holman’s incomparable annual forecast of the Lunar New Year.

Love you guys.
