During the years of training and growth, he studied Chinese: Astrology along with study of Vedic, Buddhist, western metaphysics, and psychology. In very general terms for the world at large: this year of the FIRE HORSE Portends: turbulent ideological and communicative clashes that foment political struggle, confrontation and transformation.

In USA there is a chance for a challenge to President Trump’s attempt to establish authoritarian government and dismantle Democracy, and Nato (International Order) as well as establish Christian Nationalism. This could be a year with mass protests and even another Trump Impeachment. I do see Democrats take Congress Nov. 2026
