Fire Horse carries a fierce, catalytic energy—one that asks us to move and act from a heart infused with compassion
Join Sally Chang and Forest Lin for an astrological conversation exploring the nature of Horse energy and what this year invites from us individually and collectively. Together, we’ll reflect on how Fire Horse energy can fuel heart-led action and how it can potentiate transformation.
