Year Of The Fire Horse 2026 Horoscopes Are Here For Each Chinese Zodiac Sign
Design: YourTango | Photo: Simplify, Canva Your Chinese zodiac sign's horoscope is here for the Year of the Fire Horse 2026. This is the year where speed is everything.
This lunar year is highly auspicious because the Horse is associated with Jupiter. On February 17, the same day as the Lunar New Year, there is also a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign of Aquarius. A solar eclipse brings fated events and sudden endings. Since it's happening in Aquarius, several signs associated with Saturn, the ruler of Aquarius, can anticipate major life changes to occur.
Fire Horse energy is associated with major world events involving power, independence, and cultural revolution. For example, the Great Depression and the Chinese Cultural Revolution both began during a Fire Horse year. Let's see what is in store for each animal sign for the next twelve months.
