There is a particular kind of energy moving through this year – bold, restless, quietly insistent. In Chinese astrology, this is the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of raw life force, independence, and unstoppable forward motion.
But fire without roots burns out.
And movement without grounding becomes chaos.
This is where the Root Chakra, your foundation matters most.
The Root: Where Safety Becomes Strength:
Our root chakra is our survival centre.
It governs:
- Safety,
- Stability
- Belonging
- Trust in life
When the root feels threatened, we tighten, shrink, hold back, over-control. When the root feels safe, something remarkable happens, our energy grows.
Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s s what grows when our nervous system feels steady enough to move.
Fire Horse energy does not symbolise reckless fire. It symbolises directed life force, power that comes from grounded instinct.
Fire Horse Energy — The Call to Move:
- Fire Horse energy asks:
- Where am I playing small to feel safe?
- Where am I stuck but calling it stability?
- What part of me wants to move, speak, or grow?
Many people think being grounded means staying still. It doesn’t. True grounding gives you the strength to move forward without fear running the show.
The root chakra says: You are safe enough.
The fire horse says: Now move.
When Root and Fire Work Together:
A Gentle Practice:
- Place your feet flat on the floor.
- Take one slow breath.
- Ask yourself: Where in my life am I ready to move forward – not from panic, but from inner strength?
- Listen quietly. The body always answers first.
If this theme speaks to you, it’s exactly the work we explore inside my coaching, helping women feel safe enough in themselves to reclaim their voice, direction, and fire. Y
We were always meant to shine. Sometimes, we just need stronger roots before we can grow.
I’m running a two hour online workshop called The Chakra Code – Fire within on Wednesday 11th March from 12-2 pm £27, all welcome to join, feel safe, grounded and able to make the most of 2026.
Warmly,
Angela
