The Chinese New Year on February 17, 2026, will inaugurate the Year of the Fire Horse. Janine Lowe, a Chinese astrology expert, explained that for 12 months, the Horse’s energy “amplifies the Horse’s natural independence and restlessness, creating a powerful drive for freedom, self-expression, and breaking away from limitations”.
“Historically and socially, Fire Horse years often coincide with upheaval, cultural shifts, and bold collective movements, where people feel compelled to challenge authority, redefine identity, and push for radical change,” she told Parade. According to the astrologer, there are four animal signs that will be the luckiest in February 2026, when the Lunar New Year will take place. Is yours one of them?
Goat
Those born during the Year of the Goat will find the Year of the Horse a bit more fast-paced than they would like. However, the social nature of this year will bring good luck, especially in their professional careers.
The astrologer said: “Goats benefit from gentle strength during the Horse year. They receive steady support and softer, more nurturing benefits. Progress may feel consistent, helping them rebuild confidence and stability.”
