Fire Horse Eclipse

Some call it coincidence, I don’t.

A Solar Eclipse.
The Lunar New Year.
The rise of the Fire Horse.

Darkness crossing the sun
on the same day
a new cycle begins.

Eclipses don’t ask permission.
They interrupt.

They close chapters
we thought had more pages.
They pull focus
where we’ve been avoiding it.

And the Fire Horse?
It does not wait.

It runs toward the horizon
without apology.
Bold.
Untamed.
Unwilling to shrink.

I  know these  events are rare, last time it happened was 2009.
But I know this—

Some days feel like doors.

Not loud celebrations.
Not fireworks.

But a shift in the air.
A sense that something old
has completed itself.

Today feels like that.

Not spectacle.
Not superstition.

Just a reminder:

When the light returns,
run with it.
