The Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse begins on February 17, 2026 (the first new moon after the winter solstice) and ends on February 5, 2027. What does this combination Fire + Horse bring, from the perspective of Chinese metaphysics?
We explore the temporal tendencies and deeper trajectories along which the world will move in 2026. We use a method of “reading time” grounded in Chinese metaphysics (Yin-Yang, Wu Xing, the 60-year cycle, elemental and zodiac archetypes). This method does not replace facts; rather, it provides a framework for understanding them. Our aim is to help discern the quality of time that is emerging – and which qualities, decisions, and forms of behavior resonate with it.
