February opens beneath the luminous promise of the Lunar New Year, a sacred turning point that invites renewal, intention, and brave new beginnings. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Lunar New Year begins on 17 February 2026.
This ancient festival marks a time to clear what has passed, bless the path ahead, and consciously step into a fresh cycle of becoming.
2026 is guided by the Year of the Fire Horse, an energy known for passion, movement, independence, and courage. Fire Horse years invite bold truth, swift change, and a renewed relationship with personal freedom. There is an awakening quality to this influence, encouraging us to act from the heart, trust our instincts, and honour the inner flame that propels us forward. In this issue, our Chinese zodiac animal forecasts explore how this dynamic energy may express itself across the year, offering insight into both its creative power and the balance it asks of us.
