2026 -Year of the Fire Horse
Chinese New Year 2026 welcomes the Year of the #FireHorse 🔥🐴
A collaborative blog post by Mae & Abbey, two of our LMTs @mamassage_brooklyn who have studied #TCM - Mae is continuing to do so in acupuncture school!
This will be a year associated with vitality, movement, passion, and forward momentum. Fire Horse energy is bold and expansive, but it can also burn fast if not supported with care.
Massage therapy helps ground this energy in the body. Through intentional touch, we support circulation, ease tension, and calm the nervous system while creating a balance between movement and rest.
This year invites us to move forward with purpose, while remembering that sustainable energy comes from tending the body, not pushing past it.
The Fire Horse year carries strong #yang energy:
It’s a year that encourages growth and bold steps…
but it can also lead to overexertion and burnout if
we don’t pause to regulate.
Intentional touch allows the body to move forward without pushing past its limits. Massage therapy helps balance Fire Horse energy by:
🔥Supporting circulation and flow
🔥Calming the nervous system
🔥Releasing held tension
🔥Creating space for sustainable vitality
Fire Horse Self-Care Rituals to ground the Fire:
🔥 Warm bath or foot soak
🔥 Add epsom or sea salt
🔥 Optional: add ginger or orange peel
🔥 Settle in with slow breathing, no distractions
Our owner/founder Kiera was born in the year of the Wood Horse... did you ever notice her double horse tattoos? Wood 🪵 feeds fire 🔥 ... so Kiera is looking forward to creating space @mamassage_brooklyn for healing and growth and for us all to let go what no longer serves.
