As we enter one of the most powerful energetic shifts of the year, this episode explores a question many people ask — when does the Chinese New Year energy actually begin?

In this episode of Smashing Secrets Feng Shui, Jo breaks down the important difference between Li Chun (the Solar Chinese New Year) and the Lunar Chinese New Year celebrations, explaining why Feng Shui and Chinese astrology follow different timelines — and what that means for your luck, home and personal energy as we enter the Year of the Fire Horse.

We explore the energetic influence of the Metal Tiger month, how strong Fire energy is shaping 2026, and which Chinese zodiac signs and home directions may experience the biggest shifts this February. Jo also shares key Flying Star Feng Shui updates, highlighting which areas of the home may attract prosperity, success and opportunity — and which sectors should be kept calm to avoid conflict, stress or misfortune.

You’ll also learn practical Feng Shui adjustments you can make this month, including:

✨ Which home sectors attract wealth and recognition in 2026

✨ Zodiac signs likely to experience major opportunity and growth

✨ Flying Star changes happening from Li Chun onwards

✨ Feng Shui cures and enhancements to balance strong Fire and Metal clashes

✨ How to work with Tiger month energy for courage, protection and momentum

✨ Why you don’t need to “reset” your Feng Shui during Lunar New Year celebrations

Whether you’re new to Chinese astrology or already follow Feng Shui cycles, this episode will help you understand how the Fire Horse year energy is already influencing your environment and personal path.
