Feng shui masters have issued a strong warning about the Year of the Horse, saying its excessive "fire energy" could spark conflict. The lunar year, known as the "fire horse," may bring volatility, especially for China and the US, experts told the South China Morning Post. Hong Kong is expected to face ongoing geopolitical tensions even as its economy improves slowly. The horse is one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, and fire is one of the five elements that influence the year's mood. Celebrity feng shui master Qixianyu, also called Master Seven, urged people in Hong Kong to avoid fights and be very careful. She said, "If you engage in conflict with others, a small stressful situation could result in violence." Astrologer Letao Wang added that the Year of the Snake was more introspective, but the fire horse year is about moving forward boldly.
