2026 year of the yang red fire horse 🐎

The Chinese Year of the Yang red fire horse begins on February 17th & culminates on February 7th 2027 … the next year of the horse will be in 2038!

The qualities of a horse year identify as Yang (masculine), the element is fire. Horses like to run wild & free, they are fit & frisky & although capable of loyalty, duty & diligence they need openness, unbounded unlimited space & the freedom of self expression. There is double the fire here as the horse itself is over lit by the fire element. Horse energy rules all conditions associated to strength & stamina, they are both resourceful & intrepid but will bore easily, often lacking in persistence or perseverance. The fire horse brings great enthusiasm to our lives, heightening the drive for forward movement & the impetuousness necessary to allow transformation & change to occur!

If you were born in 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014 or 2026 you resonate to the qualities of the Horse personality 🐎

Horse types show great personal magnetism, they are intelligent, witty & charming often playing the “lothario” of the Chinese zodiac signs. They love adventure, movement & travel … the stimulation of changing scenery & the mental challenge of new people, cultures & terrains. Being natural born leaders, they tend to enjoy the detail of communications & problem solving & become adept at both. Their personality type closely associates to the archetype of gemini & sagittarius in western astrology. 

Horse types are considered highly spirited & flamboyant. They are cheerful, affectionate & popular characters bringing enthusiasm & excitement to projects & relationships. They like to take the reins, to be in charge & resent being supervised, overseen or given instruction.

What to expect in a horse year …

Life can be hectic in a horse year, we can expect an exhilarating action packed time, punctuated by impulsive moves, self enhancing decisions & altruistic adventures.

Consequently 2026 brings freedom from the restriction & limitations imposed over the past few years. As the momentum builds, so does our confidence to utilise a burgeoning strength & vitality … to move towards a passion or dream, to expand & prosper embracing the courage to grow & become all you can be. The fog clears bringing clarity & foresight. We are urged to change, with unbridled forward action. Now is the time to shine bright, to illuminate, to bask in the glow of a radical new radiance of divine alignment to your true self, activating a higher purpose & an enriching life plan. Doing so brings breakthroughs in awareness allowing us as individuals to reach new levels of abundance & prosperity, becoming more of who you are & living as the greater universe intended.

Physically & materially a horse year is productive with industry, technology & the economy all on the upswing. Their is plenty of support to break into new territory, to go it solo or branch out alone. Simultaneously, the energy of a horse year calls on us to stay grounded, to brace ourselves, to be brave but most importantly to maintain a good sense of humour!

However, a horse year can be tiring, stressful, overtaxing & temper inducing. Be sure to take time out to conserve your energy, endeavour to channel the excess fire & moderate impulsiveness.

In loving relationships the Horse type is … 

independent, dynamic, passionate, freedom-seeking & action oriented. Horse types fall in & out of love easily being both spirited & affectionate. They enjoy cuddles, kisses, stroking & playfulness. Turn-offs are possessiveness, routine & boredom. In the negative, they can be headstrong, impetuous, childish, bad tempered & willful. They can also be unreliable & uncontrollable, often galloping in & out of exposure while avoiding responsibility. 

Horse natives are most compatible with Tiger & Dog with close alliance to Dragon, Sheep or Monkey. They should remain weary of those born under Rat, Ox, Rooster, Rabbit, Snake or Pig chinese zodiac signs.

While the predominant organs associated to the Chinese horse are the heart & small intestine, all five yang elements are considered to be activated … the heart, liver, spleen, lungs & kidneys.
