Giddy-up! It’s the Year of the Fire Horse.
Wishing you a happy, healthy & positive year of the Fire Horse!
In Chinese culture, the zodiac is drawn from the lunar calendar. It is believed that a person's horoscope, personality, & love compatibility are closely connected to their Chinese zodiac sign, which is determined by their birth year.
There are 12 Zodiac animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, & Pig) & five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) Each year is represented by an animal & an element.
In ancient China, horses were the backbone of agricultural society & military might, giving them a culturally esteemed position. They are the 7th animal of the 12 year cycle.

Holistic Health & Wellbeing
In terms of health & wellness, horse energy favours daily movement; walks, jogs, stretches, tai chi & yoga.
Given the high ‘yang’ (fire) dominance this coming year, watch out for signs of burnout & anxiety. Balance with restful activities to nourish your yin such as reading, mindfulness & meditation.
If you have heat symptoms such as redness, flushing, inflammation & dryness increase foods such cucumber, celery & watermelon to cool you.
The Fire element is related to the heart, thus caring for your cardiovascular health is key. Cardiovascular exercises, breathwork & Omega 3 supplementation are recommended.
If you feel out of balance or in need of relaxation, Tai Chi & acupuncture can be very helpful.
