A Fire Horse year often brings:
• Rapid change and social movement
• People breaking away from old systems or constraints
• Entrepreneurial surges and creative risks
• Strong personalities rising to prominence
• A desire for authenticity and personal truth
It’s generally not a quiet or conservative year — it favors motion over stability.
I hope this year brings Iran—and its people, who have fought tirelessly for their most basic rights and freedoms—the change they have long deserved. I hope the Year of the Fire Horse, beginning in February 2026, carries real momentum: that things finally shift quickly and decisively, after so much waiting, endurance, and pain.
My heart aches when I think of Iran—of that part of Mother Earth that is also my biological mother—hurting so deeply right now. The Horse feels like the right song for this moment: the song of Fereydun and Kaveh, of brave and intelligent people, of Iranians and Aryans whose roots stretch far and wide. Even the words Iran and iron share ancient origins. I dream of a future where we can all travel freely—physically and mentally—without fear, borders, or exile.
The Fire Horse is serious energy. I can already feel its speed and force. Years ago, my shaman teacher called me a paradigm, and told me that this—this medicine, this work, this movement—is what I am meant to offer wherever I am sent. I hope I can share my share.
I will tell you more, through future reflections and stories, about my struggles in the final months of 2025—and how I moved through them. I believe I have already planted seeds of change in places where I was once rejected. Fire does that. It clears. It transforms. And it moves forward.
