This period marks the beginning of a new year according to the lunisolar calendar and the transition to a new sign of the Chinese zodiac, an ancient system based on a cycle of twelve animals and five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
On February 17, 2026, we will enter the Year of the Fire Horse, a dynamic and passionate year according to Chinese tradition. This period promises to be intense, marked by energy, freedom, and bold changes. It is an ideal opportunity to explore how this energy influences our well-being and inner balance in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine.
The Horse: A Symbol of Dynamism and Boldness
In Chinese culture, the Horse embodies enthusiasm, speed, and independence. This sign encourages us to move forward with confidence, embrace movement, and cultivate our determination. In acupuncture, this energy translates into work on the circulation of vital energy (Qi), promoting the release of blockages and stimulating our ability to act with vitality.
The Fire Element: Passion and Transformation
Associated with passion, creativity, and action, the Fire element strengthens the Horse’s energy by bringing warmth and motivation. It works in harmony with the heart and small intestine, key organs for regulating emotions and vital energy. This combination is ideal for boosting self-confidence, boldness, and the ability to bring projects to fruition.
A Holistic Approach to Welcoming 2026
In my practice, I integrate the principles of Chinese and Japanese acupuncture to support my patients during this year of movement and renewal. Whether it’s to strengthen your energy, manage stress related to change, or support your personal transitions, acupuncture is a valuable ally for approaching this year with balance and vitality.
How to Prepare?
The Chinese New Year is an ideal time to refocus and prepare for the energy of the Fire Horse. In acupuncture, we can work on specific points to harmonize your energy and strengthen your vitality, so you can approach this year with serenity and determination.
