Fire Horse year in Chinese astrology brings dynamic energy and bold change. Experts say it will bring an intense mood with fast-paced change on a personal and global level. But the heightened energy needs to be managed wisely – slowing down before making major decisions, staying grounded, and cultivating emotional steadiness will be vital.
Looking back over previous Fire Horse years, every sixty years, it usually (though not always) has coincided with major events.
