According to the Chinese Astrology system known as “Bazi” or “4 Pillars of Destiny”, 2026 is the year of fire horse and its valid for the period 04.02.2026-03.02.2027.
In the Chinese calendar the year 2026 is described by the following characters;
丙
fire
午
Horse (yang fire)
The top character is known as heavenly stem. The bottom character is known as earthly branch. The horse at the bottom hides fire and earth element in it.
By examining the relationship of these elements and their characteristics, we can make predictions for the year.
Exactly the same characters appear every 60 years in the Chinese Calendar. By looking in the past, we can understand the future. Not all predictions will happen exactly as I say, as I try to match the information from the elements and the Chinese animals together with the current world news as I understand them. Also we are living in the Period 9 according to Feng Shui (2024-2044) which belongs to fire element, and fire is a very fast and unpredictable element.
