From Wildfire to Warmth: Saying Goodbye to the Fire Horse and Hello to the Fire Goat

The year of the Fire Horse is going to be galloping out of here and ushering in the year of the Fire Goat bring us all a fresh new energy that is a bit gentler, or so I’ve heard.

I have some words for the Fire Horse first.   I had Neptunian high hopes for the Fire Horse.  I wanted that steed to burn the world down to the ground in a sense and I hoped that the Fire Horse would move swiftly, burning away all that was rotten in the world.

I expected that I would be filled with energy and creativity.  I was, but not in the way I expected.

What I felt like we witnessed with the Fire Horse was domineering and aggressive people.  Egos running on high.  Fire often is Ego and hubris.  Maybe, the harshness of the Fire Horse was helping us shift into or away from our paths going forward?

This year has shown me:

• Relationships that made me question my worth because of the low self-esteem of others.
• The fear of starting over and choosing a different path, but one that would bring me more joy.
• The pressure to live a life that makes everyone else happy at the expense of my own happiness.
• The belief that I have to struggle to deserve something beautiful, when beauty is always at my fingertips.

Maybe the Fire Horse burned away the façade or the veil that was over my eyes; wanting to believe that everyone has the same heart as I do, only to show me just how ugly this world can truly be. 

The new incoming Fire Goat immediately made me thing that we would be little Capricorns with an Aries Moon; nose to the grindstone and putting in 100 hours per week.  But the philosophy of the Fire Goat does not follow the Traditional Western archetype and is a gentler Eastern symbolism. 

I have much research to do before issuing my full breakdown of this new Goat, but I’ve gathered  that we may be able to breathe a little easier with these fresh themes:

• Relationships and love that feels safe, mutual, and deeply fulfilling.
• Financial stability and answered prayers.
• A sense of belonging with people who genuinely understand us.
• A life filled with more peace, creativity, and happiness than we once imagined.

We are tossing out the Ego and Aggression for what is more Grounded and Softer.

We can look forward to these themes come February 6, 2027:
