With February 17th, 2026 marking the Chinese Zodiac shift from the year of the Wood Snake to the year of the Fire Horse, the energy is slated to be wildly different, much like the western tropical zodiac predicts... So, we put our research hats on to compare both ancient wisdoms. In this episode, we get into:

• the similarities and differences between this annual shift's energies thru the lens of the western and eastern zodiac
• the basics of the Chinese zodiac
• the integration of the Na Yin aspects of the Chinese zodiac
• a look at the past Wood Snake and Fire Horse years for what to possibly expect
• some pretty good randomness, too :)
