Our next meet-up. It probably won't be HOT but the coffee at our meetup will hopefully be steamy, and it will be the beginning of the Fire Horse year. The Fire Horse year is viewed as a time of optimism and opportunity. Traditionally, strong public and investor confidence tends to emerge during Horse years, with many believing this period favours economic growth. For 2026, much of that optimism is being linked to advancements in artificial intelligence and technology. In Chinese culture, the Horse represents vitality, perseverance and success. There's a popular phrase, "马到成功" (mǎ dào chéng gōng), which translates to achieving success swiftly and smoothly, just like a victorious horse arriving at the battlefield. It implies that success can be reached rapidly and with less struggle. Some people incorporate horse imagery into their homes or wear accessories depicting horses during this year, believing it invites positive energy and good fortune. (A.
