Happy year of the fire horse!!!
Chinese zodiacs- aside from origins in Chinese folk traditions also often form as a way to politely indirectly ask for another's age. Given the impoliteness and taboo of asking people's age in East Asian countries, often an indirect short hand is by asking their zodiac. When matched with their given appearance, and considering zodiacs also runs in larger cycles of the elements one can all but tell what age the other is. Unlike many more genial years, horse and fire often has more conflicting connotations- and perhaps its not a bad thing. Chinese zodiac cycles- in addition of cycling through 12 animals also has its own cycles across the 5 Chinese elements: horses in the zodiac already prepresents boldness and free spirit, adding the cycle of fire on top represented the ethos in its maximum.
Fire horses in particular are a rare, 60-year cycle bringing intense, fast-paced, and transformative energy, often characterized as volatile yet highly productive. It represents a time for bold action, independence, and rapid, often chaotic, change, favoring those who take calculated risks rather than waiting for stability. Such phenomenon may extend broadly to political arena as well. So here's hoping you are on the side of "I am Speed" rather than may you live in interesting times.
