Happy New Year of The Fire Horse (马)

The Year of the Fire Horse (starting February 17, 2026) is a rare and intense 60-year cycle that brings blazing Yang energy, rapid change, independence, and bold action. For the classic BIRDMAN — the high flying eagle who thrives outside hierarchies, values freedom above approval, and moves strategically rather than loudly — this is potentially one of the most liberating and powerful years in a long time.

The BIRDMAN® represents freedom, courage, vitality, speed and originality. In some cultures ”birdman” represented a kind of Renaissance man of "a thousand sciences" who had knowing which allowed them to take flight.  Birdmen are an epitome of independent, adventurous and authentic original thought forms but can be impatient when encountered with slower qualities. 

… therefore: 

Key Advice for the fellow Birdmen in 2026  

- Embrace the chaos — it's your playground.  

- Trust your gut over group consensus.  

- Move fast when it feels right, but never out of anger.  

- Protect your autonomy; this year punishes those who try to cage you (or themselves).  

- End the year stronger, freer, and more untouchable than you started.

This is the year the world catches up to the BIRDMAN mindset — fly with it!
