Blazing into 2026-The Feisties 2026 proclamation

 
Go Feisty! empowers those who live boldly, shine brightly, and rise with resilience—regardless of age, gender, identity, appearance, or skin color. We’re here to fuel your journey with content that uplifts, energizes, and propels you forward.

In 2026, we mark a once-in-60-years event: the return of the Fire Horse Year. To celebrate this extraordinary moment, we’re launching a global movement—Feisties 2026—with orange as our symbol of fiery strength and fearless spirit.

What Is the Fire Horse?

The Fire Horse—or Hinoeuma (丙午) in Japanese—is one of the 60 signs in the traditional East Asian zodiac calendar. It fuses the element of fire with the animal horse, representing passion, independence, and unstoppable energy.

The Fire Horse year occurs only once every 60 years. But in Japanese history, those born under this sign—especially women—have long faced unfair superstitions.

The Feisties 2026 Movement
–Rewriting the Narrative

In 1906 and again in 1966, women born in the Fire Horse year were labeled as “too fierce,” “unlucky in marriage,” or even “dangerous to men.” These beliefs were not only harmful—they had real consequences:

● Fire Horse 1906: Many women born in this year were unable to find marriage partners. Some experienced such severe isolation that it tragically led to suicide.

● Fire Horse 1966: Fear of giving birth to a Fire Horse daughter caused a 25% drop in the national birth rate. Maternity hospitals even shut down from the lack of patients.

Yet, here we are.
As the founder of Go Feisty! born in 1966, I proudly say:
“Yes, I’m a Fire Horse.”
People have often said, “Ah, that explains it—you’re so feisty.” And they’re right.

1966-Feisties 66

Too intense? Too strong-willed? Bad luck for men?
We’ve lived our lives with strength and pride—refusing to be defined by outdated superstitions or baseless prejudice.
“Feisty” means bold, bright and resilient.
It’s a word that perfectly captures who we are as Fire Horse women-a badge of honor we wear with pride. We are energetic, independent, and fiercely driven.
That’s why we proudly call the women born in 1966 as Feisties 66.

As we turn 60 in 2026, it’s time for us—Fire Horse women who have weathered life’s storms—to connect, celebrate, and uplift one another. We’ve created a private Feisties 66 Facebook group, and we’d love for you to join. Let’s come together, laugh, share stories, and celebrate the strength we carry—across cultures, across borders. Both English and Japanese groups are available.

2026 – The Rise of “Feisty Ponies”

Right now, those born in 1966 are the only living Fire Horses on Earth.
But in 2026, a new generation will be born. We’ll call them our Feisty Ponies—until they grow into full-blown Feisties.

Let’s begin by proudly showing the world what Feisties 66 truly are—Fire Horse women who have lived boldly, brightly, and resiliently, never defeated by superstition, and now joyfully celebrating our 60th birthday.

Let’s also support the mothers who will welcome new Feisty Ponies into the world, and together create a society where these children can grow up proud to be born in the Year of the Fire Horse. We hope to inspire a cultural shift so strong that instead of avoiding the Fire Horse year, people embrace it—and the birth rate rises in celebration.

Turning the 2026 Fire Horse Year into a powerful, positive, and joyful celebration—
That is the mission of the Feisties 2026 Movement by Go Feisty!.

Blaze in Orange

To fuel this new narrative, we’ve chosen orange as the official color of Feisties 2026—symbolizing fiery strength, radiant energy, and bold celebration.

We’ll be featuring stories, resources, and ways for everyone to unleash their inner Fire Horse and join in a global, orange-powered movement throughout 2026.

Feisties 66 – Wear Orange for Your 60th Birthday

In Japan, the 60th birthday is called Kanreki—a return to your birth zodiac, traditionally celebrated with a red vest and hat to symbolize rebirth.

But for Feisties 66, we’re flipping that tradition.
Forget the red—celebrate in bold, blazing orange.

Fiery orange is the lucky color of the Feisty Ponies!

Let’s celebrate the arrival of the 2026 Feisty Ponies, Fire Horse babies,  by gifting them something orange—a color we believe will become their symbol of strength and good fortune.

“You were born in a rare and special year.”
Let’s send that message through the vibrant power of orange.

Let’s say goodbye to the old superstitions.
Let’s put an end to the stigma.
Let’s spread the pride of being a bold, bright, and resilient Fire Horse—through a wave of blazing orange.

Even if you’re not a Feisties 66 or a Feisty Pony’s family,
you’re invited to join us.
Together, let’s set the world ablaze in orange in 2026.
