Chinese horoscope 2026: year of the Fire Horse
The year 2026 is ruled by the Fire Horse. Here is what it brings, and your predictions by Chinese sign.
The year of the Fire Horse begins on February 17, 2026 with Chinese New Year and ends on February 5, 2027.
Each Chinese year pairs an animal with an element. Their meeting colours the general mood: how your own sign gets along with the animal of the year shows whether the year carries you or asks for effort.
Our predictions are based on the traditional relationships between signs: affinity trines, secret friends, clashes and the year of your own sign.
