Year of the Fire Horse!

I’m somehow on this email list called “evolutionary leaders,” which is not what it sounds like. This is an organization led by a gang of New Age weirdos, and I only remain on it for the hilarity. I thought I’d share a little bit of my amusement.

This morning I received an announcement that this is the Year of the Fire Horse.

Why the “fire horse”? They don’t explain. I think they just liked the graphic.

They were announcing an event on February 20, which has historical precedent. They’ve done it before!

In 1987
Thousands gathered in sacred sites for the Harmonic Convergence, ushering in a planetary frequency shift.

In 2003
The Harmonic Concordance marked a cosmic alignment of healing and divine feminine resurgence.

You all remember those amazing events with all their wonderful consequences, right? Are you prepared for what will happen on the 20th of February?

Now in 2026
Harmonic Emergence is a planetary activation—an invitation to embody the coherence we’ve long cultivated and step into the living reality that many cultures have prophesied and named throughout centuries: the Unitive Age, The Golden Era, The Age of Aquarius, The Rainbow Prophecy, The Great Turning, The New Dawn, to name a few.

Harmonic Emergence completes the triad. It is the moment we stop preparing for the New Earth—and begin living it.

Simultaneously nebulous and dramatic–impressive. In case you want to participate, the instructions are even more vague.

In addition to attending the online global event we encourage you to amplify your impact locally in some way.
Host a circle or meditation with neighbors, friends, family
Gather around a bonfire, river, or sacred site
Create ceremony, blessing the land and waters
Offer poetry, prayer, silence, music, dance
Organize a potluck or celebration of joy, resilience, and emergence
Hold a moment of stillness with others in your town square or backyard
Bring your community into coherence with song or sacred sound
Anchor the transmission in your unique way

The important part, though, is attending the online global event, which means “sign up for our mailing list which we can monetize.” You could listen to these impressively vacuous people.

The Harmonic Emergence Experience is hosted by the Connection Field, and a luminous circle of musicians, mystics, artists, and planetary stewards—including Jude Currivan, Kristin Hoffmann, Amma Li Grace, Reverend Rhetta Morgan, Julie Krull, Wolf Martinez, Rev. Canon Charles P. Gibbs, Teresa Collins, Marshall Lefferts, Theo Grace, and other ceremonial leaders—this global online experience will be both poetic transmission and living ceremony, holding a field of resonance across time zones.

I think I’ll skip it. It is amazing how little these people will do while claiming to change the world.

    @ ^ lancefinney : Ya beat me to it :

    Further down from there in same wikipage :

    There is a superstition that “a woman born in the year of the fire horse has a strong temperament, shortens her husband’s life and bring ruin to their families and maybe even kill their husbands. It is said that the superstition in the early Edo period that “there are many fires in the year of the fire horse”, changed to a superstition about women’s marriage because Yaoya Oshichi was believed to have been born during the fire horse

    ..(Snip).. Around 1924, when women born in 1906 were of marriageable age, there was a series of stories denying the superstition and reports of suicides of women whose marriage proposals were broken off, suggesting that the superstition of fire horse births affected women’s marriages.[a] I

    … (snip).. This superstition remained strong in the Shōwa era, and the birth rate in 1966 dropped 25% from the previous year.[12] Many couples avoided having children or had abortions, especially in rural and regional areas[b] and the number of births was extremely low compared to other years,

    IOW a silly superstition with some unfortunate real world consequence sof people believing in and then acting on it.

    2026 is supposedly the year of this Fire Horse natch.

    The Harmonic Convergence was in part a ripoff of Aztec and Mayan traditions, mangled through the interpretations of others. At least Jose Arguelles, the big promoter of the idea, was part Mexican, although I have no idea if he had Mayan blood.

    Gather around a bonfire, river, or sacred site

    Yeah, let’s all go to the fire dances.

    I lived a life of delusion! When I was a kid we’d go to this Chinese restaurant that had the Zodiac by year on the placemats. All my life I thought I was the Year of the Rabbit, until I learned the Zodiac icon changes in FEBRUARY, after my birthday!

    Turns out I’m a Tiger. Grrrrrrrreat!

    OT but amusing in a grotesque way.
    The senile old monster is going to block the new bridge between the US and Canada, Detroit to Windsor.
    One that benefits both the USA and Canada, although Canada paid for the whole bridge.

    For no particular reason. “With all that we have given them,”
    I’m unaware that we have given Canada much of anything except occasional problems.

    Most likely, he will forget about this and be off trying to steal something else from someone or some other country tomorrow.

    Due to using a river as a border, Windsor, Canada is actually south of Detroit, USA.

    Trump is threatening to block a new bridge between Detroit and Canada from opening
    February 10, 20261:46 AM ET
    By The Associated Press Paul Sancya/AP edited for length

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to block the opening of a new Canadian-built bridge across the Detroit River, demanding that Canada turn over at least half of the ownership of the bridge and agree to other unspecified demands in his latest salvo over cross-border trade issues.

    “We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset,” Trump said in a lengthy social media post, complaining that the United States would get nothing from the bridge and that Canada did not use U.S. steel to built it.

    The project was negotiated by former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder — a Republican — and paid for by the Canadian government to help ease congestion over the existing Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor tunnel. Work has been underway since 2018.
