Hello friends! Hope you had a wonderful Holiday season. While I realize January can be a bit of a downer, find comfort in the fact that Chinese New Year is just around the corner. This year we celebrate the Year of the Horse! Literally, my favourite animal (aside from dogs!).
Specifically, this year is Year of the Fire Horse which will be defined by speed, strength, momentum, and transformation! Those born in this year are fiery, adventurous, charming, and motivated!
The new year commences February 17, 2026.
Some famous names born in the year of the Horse include: Paul McCartney, Usher, Emma Watson, Harrison Ford, Nelson Mandela, Kobe Bryant, Janet Jackson, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Saldaña, Margot Robbie, Clint Eastwood, Rowan Atkinson, Barbra Streisand, Dennis Quaid Isaac Newton, Jerry Seinfeld, Stephen Hawking, Joe Biden, and many more!
Those born in the years of the Tiger, Dog, and Sheep are most compatible with the energy of the Horse, and should have a harmonious year ahead.
One reminder I have is that when you are observing your own year (i.e. you are born in the Year of the Horse), you should always exercise extra caution. This doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a bad year for you. You should just be mindful and careful of obstacles as attentions will be on you. The Guardian God of the Year, “Tai Sui“, will be watching and you must be careful not to offend.
I’ve put together a few of my favourite easy-to-understand Chinese Horoscopes. I hope you find these insightful and fun!

Definitely the most astrologically-centered horoscope, this one actually is a bit more granular, analyzing the specific year you were born in versus your sign, i.e. a 12-year-old Horse and a 24-year-old Horse might have variations in the flow of their year.
If you really don’t know what sign you are, this will make it easier for you to start:
