2026 The Year of Red Fire Horse

Today, on 17th February 2026 we enter the year of Red Fire Horse.
Another year of change. The Fire Horse is a free-spirited animal that does not tolerate stagnation. Obsessed with ambition, passion & the desire for success, Horse gallops proudly, freely & gracefully towards victory, allowing everyone to feel like they're in the saddle, to pursue their boldest plans. With hard work & full immersion in the job, we should expect good results & a rich harvest. Triumph, breakthrough, energy & transformation, positive events, lucky chances & amazing encounters are the main vibes throughout the entire year of 2026 but it will be also challenging to maintain such dynamic pace. Know your limits. Control the fire, don't burn yourself in it. The dark side to fire, as an excess of fiery energy can turn enthusiasm into ashes, leading to burnout & stress. As our emotions will be on high alert we should try to release our steam through sports or creative activities instead of lashing out at people around us.
It will be very challenging time for sensitive people who react strongly to any changes & experience every stress emotionally. Constant changes, instability, the need to make quick decisions & act logically rather than emotionally can be a real challenge.
It will be a year of drastic but liberating changes that will affect technology, the information sphere, human relationships & the topic of relocation. The Fire Horse symbolizes a force that has been pent up for a long time & is finally breaking free. This year will be suitable for the active & decisive, those who clearly understand where they are going & why.
The nature of the Fire Horse is such that it always brings catastrophes but also unites people like no other. Powerful cyber attacks on large servers & blackouts, some of the digital networks will stop working. Old AI algorithms will get out of control & some data will be lost. Humanity will face a digital reset, a temporary failure of machine consciousness. Back up your information. Europe will face difficulties in the energy sector.
States may attempt to formalize ideological projects into a rigid system. Active conflicts may be frozen & transformed into ideological, political or economic struggles. We can expect the formation of new meanings.
During the first half of the year it is easy to fall under the spell of scammers & false teachers. There will be temptations to disregard the law & violate moral principles, which can lead to unpleasant consequences. This is a time when the focus shifts towards home, family, ancestors & strengthening personal boundaries. The world becomes more sensitive & caring. It is an ideal period for improving living conditions & strengthening our foundation.
Second half of the year distorts the working conditions & familiar management & control systems will change & collapse. Lot of companies & corporations will close, government structures will be transformed. Second part of the year ignites us with the desire for success, recognition & creative self-expression.
June & especially October, late December are expected to be the most turbulent months of 2026.
Nature can bring us a number of unpleasant surprises. The world will face serious climate anomalies & natural disasters. There is a risk of widespread disasters, earthquakes & major terrorist attacks. Earthquakes are possible in seismically unstable regions of the Earth & they can be quite deadly. In 2025, volcanoes began to awaken everywhere & this process will continue in 2026. Possible widespread fires & large-scale floods can cause significant damage.
The world is being renewed! It has always been so & so will be.
2026 is a year number 1 in numerology. It signifies the start of a new nine-year cycle. What is laid down now will have an impact for years to come. The energy of this time does not tolerate passivity or dependence. The key advice is not to wait for circumstances to decide for you. The world is open to those who are willing to become the authors of their own stories.
The year will bring two powerful eclipse corridors that act as energy portals, accelerating fateful processes.
The first corridor from February 17 to March 3 will trigger an intellectual reboot, encouraging us to change the career path, find our place in society, bring order to our affairs & health. Sort out our lives, clear the space & prepare for a new purpose.
The second corridor from August 12 until August 28 will be dedicated to personal destiny & matters of the heart. It can help to reveal talent, meet our love, or, on the contrary, end long-standing illusions & dependent relationships.
Three Mercury retrogrades in February-March, in July & in late October-November will bring the usual delays in business & confusion in documents. But their main task is to show us where we are going wrong & give us a chance to correct our mistakes.
Venus retrograde from October 3 - November 14 will be more profound. It will affect the areas of love, self-esteem & finances. This is a time when hidden desires, unbalanced relationships & old feelings come to the surface. Venus will force us to honestly review our attachments & let go of toxic relationships.
The final transition of Uranus, the planet of revolutions, into the sign of Gemini April 2026 – 2033 brings more global change. We can expect an intellectual revolution, with advancements in artificial intelligence & communication technologies. Humanity's nervous system will be operating at full capacity. Information will be flowing in faster than the mind can process it.
An image of Horse in our homes becomes a talisman & a guardian during the year. Get a lucky horseshoe, place it above the entrance to your home for luck & protection.
Happy New Lunar Year!
May this year bring you courage, energy & unstoppable momentum. Chase your dreams, embrace new opportunities & celebrate You!
