Today officially marks the Chinese New Year/ Lunar New Year. Get ready for some big changes as we enter the year of the Fiery Horse.

What does that mean?

Think high energy, bold moves, and things happening fast.

Horse years are known for independence, ambition and action. Add fire to that mix, and everything feels amplified.

This could be the year you switch careers, launch that business, move cities or take a big risk.

Don’t sit still. The horse favours action. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start something new? This might be it! On a personal level, it’s a strong year to take initiative. Say yes to growth. Just make sure you’re balance all that bold action with a lot of self-care.

The flip side? Fire also fuels tempers. Emotions just might run a little hotter. Relationships could feel more intense.

Patience just might be your superpower in 2026.

Lunar New Year is all about fresh starts, family gatherings, lucky foods, red decorations, and setting intentions for prosperity and good vibes.

The Chinese zodiac follows a 12-animal cycle — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig — based on your birth year.

Find out what YOUR sign means for you in this new Lunar New Year.
