Feng Shui Masters in Hong Kong Caution Against Excessive Fire Energy in Year of the Fire Horse
Experts warn that the intense ‘double fire’ energy of 2026’s Fire Horse year may bring volatility unless balanced with grounding practices
As the Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Fire Horse on February seventeen, feng shui masters in Hong Kong are advising households and individuals to be mindful of the year’s potent fire energy, which they say could manifest as emotional intensity, impulsiveness and imbalance if not properly managed.
According to traditional Chinese metaphysics, the 2026 zodiac year — known as the Yang Fire Horse — combines the Horse’s dynamic nature with the Fire element’s vibrant force, creating what practitioners describe as an unusually strong energetic influence.
Feng shui masters such as Chow Hon Ming and his daughter Thierry Chow highlight that the Fire Horse year’s energy can catalyse rapid developments, passion and opportunity, but can also intensify drama, conflict and emotional heat if unchecked.
They recommend strategic adjustments in home environments to harmonise the strong fire qi, including placing calming elements and avoiding overwhelming fire-associated colours and layouts.
Specialists stress that the double fire configuration — with both the heavenly stem and earthly branch associated with fire — is rare and may amplify tendencies toward impatience and volatility in daily life.
To counterbalance this, practitioners suggest incorporating earth and wood elements, such as natural materials and greenery, which are believed to ground excessive fire energy and support steadiness.
Sources on feng shui for 2026 note that the Fire Horse year’s characteristic energy also intersects with broader astrological influences, making it important for individuals to be intentional about their environments and decision-making as momentum builds across sectors of life.
Successful navigation of the year’s currents, they assert, depends on mindful alignment of personal goals with the dynamic energies of the time.
Observers emphasise that while the Fire Horse year can fuel creative breakthroughs and bold action, excessive fire energy without grounding could bring emotional stress and rash decision-making, underscoring the value of balance and thoughtful feng shui practice as the year unfolds.
