About This Site

By the site editor · Published September 24, 2026 · How we write and source

Year of the Horse 2026 is an independent guide to the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse for English-speaking readers, mainly in the United States.

What we do

Explain what the Fire Horse year is, when it starts and ends, and how the Chinese calendar works. Dates are computed from an astronomical calendar library, not copied from other sites.
Describe what traditional Chinese astrology says about the year for each sign. We show the method and where published sources disagree.
Look independently at paid 2026 readings, so readers can decide with the facts in front of them.

What we're not

We're not a fortune-telling service, and we're not affiliated with any astrologer, temple, feng shui retailer or reading brand. Chinese astrology is a cultural and interpretive tradition. Nothing on this site is a prediction or professional (medical, financial or legal) advice.

How the site is funded

We earn affiliate commissions through ClickBank if you buy the one reading we review. The link is always labeled, and the commission doesn't affect what we write about it. See the affiliate disclosure.
