Overall Fortune — ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
Horses enter 2026 as the zodiac of the year, but this does not guarantee smooth sailing
This year, Horses will face Ben Ming Tai Sui (值本命太岁), compounded by the Wu-Wu self-punishment (午午自刑) formation, which may cause Fire energy to become excessive and difficult to manage in your life.
As a result, Horses might feel more impatient, emotionally restless, or stuck in internal conflict. Things will move fast around you, but pushing harder does not always lead to better outcomes.
You should learn how to restrain yourself this year. To avoid misfortune, you should learn when to pause, recalibrate, and pull back instead of charging ahead on impulse.
Auspicious stars: Jiang Xing (将星)
Inauspicious stars: Jian Feng (剑锋), Fu Shi (伏尸), San Xing (三刑)
Clash with Tai Sui: Yes, Self-Punishment (刑太岁/值本命太岁)
Career Fortune — ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Career prospects remain strong, largely supported by the presence of the Jiang Xing (将星) star. It will bring authority and leadership energy, as well as execution power.
This year, Horses may be entrusted with important tasks, placed in prominent roles, or expected to step up when situations become uncertain.
However, strong Fire energy also increases competition and interpersonal friction. You're advised to avoid confrontations with superiors, colleagues, or business partners.
When pressure rises, insisting on being right may backfire. To move forward smoothly, Horses should focus on cooperation, negotiation, and timing rather than force.
Wealth Fortune — ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
Horses' financial volatility will be high this year. With the influence of the San Xing (三刑) star, Horses face higher risks of sudden losses, legal disputes, fines, or unexpected expenses, especially those related to accidents, family matters, or administrative issues.
You're advised to maintain stronger cash reserves and avoid impulsive spending. Don't rush into major investments or financial commitments. This is a year to protect what you already have rather than aggressively expanding your wealth.
Love Fortune — ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
Romantic relationships are more easily strained under heightened Fire energy. Horses may feel emotionally restless, which can spill over into personal interactions.
Singles might experience several unstable connections, while those in relationships may face misunderstandings or emotional distance.
You're advised to practise patience and emotional regulation. This year, love requires tolerance rather than intensity. To stabilise relationships, Horses should lower expectations, communicate calmly, and avoid reacting furiously in the heat of the moment.
Health Fortune — ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
It is a risky year for your health. With the presence of the Jian Feng (剑锋) and Fu Shi (伏尸) stars, accident-prone energy will have a stronger influence, particularly when dealing with sharp objects, metal, or traffic.
The San Xing (三刑) star further increases exposure to injury or physical strain. You're advised to reduce late-night driving, avoid high-risk activities, and prioritise proper rest.
Emotional stress may also manifest in the form of insomnia, anxiety, or weakened immunity. Slowing down is not optional this year — it's a necessity for recovery and prevention.
Family Fortune — ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
Emotional impatience may affect family harmony. Horses might react too quickly during disagreements, causing small issues to escalate unnecessarily.
You're advised to think before you respond to a situation, especially in emotionally charged situations. When temper is kept in check, family relationships stabilise. When emotions run unchecked, misunderstandings grow. Calm communication will go a long way this year.
