The Lunar New Year, commonly
referred to as the Chinese
New Year, highlights Chinese
astronomical animals and elements.
With 12 signs and five elements,
certain combinations only
arrive once every 60 years. In 2026,
celebrants will recognize the Fire
Horse with celebrations that begin
on February 17.
Chinese astrology assigns a year
with one of the 12 zodiac animals
paired with one of the five elements:
metal, wood, water, fire, or
earth. As these elements complement
and clash, it is believed they
promote order, harmony and balance
in the natural world.
The Chinese lunisolar calendar is
based on a sexagenary (60-year)
cycle of "ganzhi," which means
"stems and branches." Although
the last Year of the Horse was in
2014, that was a Wood Horse. We haven't
seen a Fire Horse since 1966.
The combination of fire and horse
can bring about certain effects.
According to Sinocultural, the
horse has earned a distinguished
place in the Chinese Zodiac
through legendary speed and unwavering
endurance. Horses were
indispensable in ancient Chinese
society and representative of power,
nobility and ambition. China
Highlights says Chinese astrology
asserts that personality and luck
are determined by both zodiac
sign and 12-year cycle element.
The fire element provides warmth,
enthusiasm, connection, and creativity.
For the Fire Horse, the element
modifies the animal's trait. Fire
Horses are said to be strong-willed,
proactive and lively. They can handle
various problems simultaneously
and they thrive on challenges,
succeeding in the face of adversity.
According to myNEWS, The Year of
the Fire Horse is expected to be
full of breakthroughs, rapid changes
and innovations. People are encouraged
to chase their dreams
this year as many opportunities
await. A Fire Horse allegedly burns
everything to rebuild, so the year
could be tumultuous in the name
of progress.
YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE
Celebrating the Lunar New Year will be even more exciting
with the vibrant and change-inducing Fire Horse.
