Can Feng Shui Make you Wealthy in 2026 the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse
What Will the Fire Horse Bring You this Year
Can the Fire Horse bring you fortune and fame, abundance and success this year?
Its positive Chinese horoscope attributes of spirited ambition, strong energy, resourcefulness and passion would seem to suggest it can. But there is a volatile, impatient, demanding, turbulent side to this double Fire sign character that will need reining in when it surfaces. Take care not to overstimulate it this year.
It is a custom for Chinese people to visit close friends and relatives at New Year, always taking gifts that symbolise gold to bring abundance and wish the recipients good luck, prosperity, joy and longevity. Especially popular are mandarin oranges and persimmons (sharon fruit). The Chinese idiom for persimmons means ‘may everything go as you wish’. Read more in Chinese New Year Celebrations blog ( link )
The Deeper Meaning of Wealth
In Chinese cultural philosophy, the concept of wealth, prosperity and abundance transcends merely financial gain and material acquisition. Personal accomplishment, rewarding relationships, fulfilling commitments, contentment and reasonably good health are deeper sources of life enrichment that have just as much value, indeed they might be considered priceless.
So in reality, whether or not Feng Shui, or money, or anything else for that matter, can make you ‘wealthy’ depends very much on your expectations of what you value and seek most in your life. And to put it into perspective, a Chinese greeting translates as “Have you had enough to eat”, suggesting that wealth can mean basically having enough sustenance to survive and thrive.
What Feng Shui Can Do for You
Through its unique approach to aligning your environment with your priorities and desires, Feng Shui will help you to create a living space that generates a sense of clarity, calm and confidence. In fact, it will initiate conditions where your success is more likely to happen. When your surroundings help you to feel happier, more harmoniously inspired, focused and productive, you are more likely to make decisions and take steps that lead to the outcomes you seek.
Whatever your goals might be to bring enrichment into your life, it is still important to be realistic. Feng Shui cannot do it all for you. It is not a substitute for strategic decisions, commitment and perseverance. You will also need to make a plan and to action it with decisive physical, mental and emotional intent in order to materialise whatever you want to achieve and to gain advantage of whatever lucky opportunities come your way.
Bringing Enrichment to Your Life
Simple shifts can have a powerful energy and these are five symbolic ways to boost your desired wishes for life enrichment this year.
A thriving plant represents growth of all kinds. A money plant traditionally symbolises wealth and it grows well in the East and Southeast where the golden morning sunlight nourishes it.
Water energetically represents the flow of your life, communication, progress and money. Amongst other things, you could use a metal vase of flowers filled with fresh water, a beautiful blue glass ornament, a water feature or goldfish tank.
Place a symbol somewhere that is noticeable and meaningful to you eg. six gold coins (wealth), a pyramid shaped gemstone ( power and strength) a rose quartz crystal (peace and love).
Write down your wishes for this year, fold the paper neatly and place it under a benevolent deity such as a Buddha statue. Remember to connect with it regularly.
Create a vision board depicting your desires for what you wish for this year.
Making the Most of 2026
Never underestimate the power of a space that is harmoniously aligned with the natural flow of energy, and the support it will provide for your own life goals. Attractively organised, uplifting surroundings will help you to reduce stress and minimise distractions, whilst visual reminders of your goals tend to increase motivation. Think of Feng Shui as a subtle ally, a support system, not a shortcut. It will give you a positive foundation for clearer thinking, focused decision making and inspired action.
The elemental energy of year’s Chinese horoscope is defined by Yang Fire element sitting on the Yang Fire Horse, creating an intense atmosphere further driven by the horse’s desire for freedom. So do avoid using too much fiery red colour. Expect a dynamic, fast-paced year that may feel restless and demanding. Focus on maintaining your inner stability and managing avoidable stresses. It is a good time for decisive undertakings to enrich your year.
Remember the Chinese proverb “In every crisis, there is opportunity.”
Wishing you fulfilling life enrichment during 2026, the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse.
