In ancient Chinese myth, when the world’s old structures could no longer carry the weight of life, the Dragon Horse or Longma (龙马) rose from the Yellow River.

With the scales of a dragon and the strength of a horse, it surfaced bearing a sacred pattern on its back; a new design for the cosmos. Its emergence was a sign that Heaven itself was ready to revise what had become rigid, unjust, or misaligned.

The Longma appears when systems calcify. When authority forgets its responsibility to life. When the old order clings to power long after its purpose has faded. In the earliest accounts, its arrival marks a shift in destiny, the quiet ending of one era and the opening breath of the next.

Fire Horse energy is not destruction for spectacle. It is renewal through necessary clearing. It is the force that moves through fear, breaks stagnation, and challenges inherited structures that no longer serve the living.

It makes room for balance, for truth, for possibility.

As we step into this new year, we don’t resist that current.

We move with it. #itsbobbyopp #yearofthefirehorse #bobbythealchemist
