Chinese New Year

According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, we are in the year of the Fire Horse! Fire Horses are known for strong will, passion, and rapid change, embodying fiery traits, whereas other elements bring different energies, e.g., Wood for growth, Water for wisdom! The Horse is the seventh animal in the zodiac cycle. Those born in the Year of the Horse are known for their energetic spirit, love of freedom, and independent nature. They are natural leaders who are passionate, enthusiastic, and always on the move. The element of Fire intensifies the Horse's inherent traits, adding immense passion, determination, and leadership qualities, making 2026 a year of dynamic energy, bold action, and significant achievements.
