Dear Friends,
Happy Lunar New Year to you and yours! The qi available to all in Fire Horse is big and energetic so…saddle up!
This year, I won’t be sharing my usual annual Lunar New Year reflection. Much of my energy is going toward co-editing the second edition of the Polestar Astrology book, which has been a deep and meaningful (decade + long!) process. I’m grateful for the support that so many of you have shown over the years as this work continues to take shape.
If you’d still like to gather in the spirit of the New Year, I warmly invite you to our treasured annual Lunar New Year event, co-sponsored by Da Yuan Circle and Red Bamboo Medicine, and presented by Tamara Ja, L.Ac. Tamara is not only a longtime collaborator, but also one of my co-editors on the forthcoming book, which will be released later this Year of the Horse.
You can register for the talk here: https://events.humanitix.com/the-astrology-of-2026-yang-fire-horse-year
Online only and limited space available: March 1st 10:30am-12:30pm PST
*This event is free and volunteer run. DYC will continue to support the Ani Gompa we have supported every year, such is the annual tradition Liu Ming began. If you’d like to donate to support our publishing projects, please click the link here!
To offer a small glimpse of what’s coming, here is an excerpt from the forthcoming book:
“The image of the Fire native Horse talked about in Chinese Astrology is well known to the soldiers of Chinese history. An unsuccessful plow animal, the Horse came into its own when, as the cavalry Horse, it helped to create the great expansion of the Tang dynasty. Emperors and Generals bred them throughout Chinese history. The Horse’s strong, independent nature, when set to orderly tasks, is extraordinarily successful. It is this ‘edgy’ balance, part wild (yang), part trained (yin), which gives the Horse its noble reputation. Stuff is to ‘do’ things with. Horses do not need things unless they represent some kind of work (repair).”
I hope to see some of you online at the talk. Wishing you all a bright and fortunate year of the Horse!
