A bit longer, but it's a blog (mine) that I translated...

The Chinese year of the Fire Horse has started!
This means we’re going to be dealing with a lot of fiery energy. This can be a relief after the Year of the Snake -2025- which was mostly about letting go of what no longer served you.
Now we can move forward again. Time for action!
Fire horse is about passion, exuberance, the desire to gallop.
Horse represents things like strength, courage, loyalty, speed, independence. With the element Fire these qualities will be even stronger.

And yup, this can have an effect on your love life for sure!
The energy encourages you to act with passion and courage. Pleasure and joy is within reach. What helps, adds to it all, is spring knocking on our doors as spring bring similar energies with it.

Looking back at previous Horse years you can notice certain tendencies during these years. The Horse energy is really quite something!
In the last Fire Horse year for instance, 1966, we had birthcontrol and the freedom that came with it, mainly for women. It changed an awful lot in the area of dating and relationships.
In the Horse year 2002 online dating started to come up real fast and in 2014 Tinder was a big hype. Many met their partner via that app.

Generally speaking Horse years always have to do with increased independence, especially for women!

But nowadays online dating is past its prime. Lots of unpleasant stuff happening, being ghosted, many people are less willing to commit and so on. A lot of people have lost hope, have gotten discouraged, had too many disappointments.
You even hear/read people say they’re weary and fed up of dating.
Apparently more people than ever before feel lonely? In spite of being on dating sites/apps?

I think it became too easy? Too much choice maybe as well. Kind of like we always have running tapwater. No one appreciates that anymore. It’s normal. Until there is no tapwater. Then you get PO, grin. But we take it for granted, even though it actually is very special!
It’s a bit like that with online dating (sites).

But it is expected that during this Fire Horse year people will feel the urge to go about things differently. To go places to meet people, to find connection in real life, not online so much.

Since Horse is also about being authentic and authentic expression, it is likely people will be open about their intentions. Isn’t that great?!
I’d love it if all the vague chit you often get on dating sites would cease to be.
No longer being kept in the dark by someone, or them leading you on, half-assed situationships.
The Horse year could sure as heck bring such a shift!
The Fire Horse doesn't tolerate ambiguity. It craves clarity and desires decisive action.
The Horse also doesn't fake things, nor does it tolerate BS, untrustworthy or strange behavior.
This is therefore at odds with how things have often been in recent years.
It also increases the likelihood that people will express their intentions honestly and clearly.
I'd love that!

Regardless of what your own Chinese sign is, this year the time is right to be more outgoing and active. To bring ‘new’ into your life, to take well-considered risks, to go out of your comfort-zone, and to clearly express your intentions.

I do want to say that none of this is forced in Horse energy.
I’m a Fire Horse myself and I can vouch for it never being forced but coming from enthusiasm, lust for life, joy. Feeling like it. A “Hell yes!!” to life.

What could be important this year, is to stay properly grounded. The passion and enthusiasm of the Horse combined with the element Fire can activate you too much.
Then you’re at risk of going over your own boundaries and/or burning out. So keep your feet on the ground and make sure to rest regularly.
Know when not to go fast, especially when you have to make decisions, certainly when it concerns matters of the heart.
Being overly careful isn’t handy, neither is diving head first into a new adventure.

Apart from all that, just enjoy the Horse energy this year! Let it carry you forward and have fun!
That way, if you don’t find a partner this year, you at least had a good time and created a lot of added value in your life.
It certainly isn’t a year to remain passive in your comfy chair. Not a time to stay stuck and stagnant in old routines.

So climb on your horse and enjoy the ride!
And, as someone else said (which I liked):
Trot in trust…
Gallop with purpose!
