2026: The Year of the Red Horse
The year 2026 is 丙午, a rare alignment known as double fire.
Read About 2026 Year of Horse
In Chinese cosmology, this pairing amplifies heat, intensity, visibility, and movement. For this reason, 2026 is traditionally recognized as the Year of the Red Horse. Fire symbolizes illumination, passion, urgency, and transformation. When doubled, it signals a year of rapid change, heightened emotion, and powerful momentum—capable of both renewal and disruption.
At this pivotal moment, we are collaborating with local Chinese astrologer Lili Xie to offer perspective through Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), including a public lecture and individual reading sessions.
