Your Fortune in Fire Horse Year

Next year of the Rat is 2032.
Horse and Rat are opposites in the 12 year cycle of animals. Horse follows impulse and instinct, whereas you develop well-designed plans. But don’t let Fire Horse’s fast energy stop you from exploration, travel, and new breakthroughs this year. 2026 is a Fire year so you will like the action, movement, and stimulation of Fire. Your diplomatic skills and strategic thinking can lead to success, and you are stronger behind the scenes where you can set the pace and maintain control.

The element Fire empowers the 1996 Fire Rat to create a brighter blaze. Fire strengthens the 2008 or 1948 Earth Rat because Fire is the “mother” of Earth; after Fire burns it creates ash that is more Earth. Fire melts Metal so stay steady and take care of yourself for the 2020 or 1960 Metal Rat. The 1972 Water Rat has an advantage this year because Water can control and extinguish Fire. The 1984 Wood Rat could be in the role of the nurturer or caregiver this year because Wood is the “mother” of Fire.

Next year of the Ox is 2033.
Fire Horse year energy can feel intense or unpredictable sometimes, although it does bring you opportunities to pick up speed and get going. Your innate sense of stability and aversion to risk run counter to Fire Horse’s fast adaptability. So strive to accept change, learn new methods, and break out of your conservative shell. Create new routines, experiment, and follow up on all new opportunities. Travel is highlighted in a Fire Horse year so 2026 could be your year for a lifetime adventure.

The 1985 Wood Ox could be in the role of the nurturer or caregiver this year because Wood is the “mother” of Fire.
