The Chinese New Year arrived on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, heralding the dynamic Year of the Fire Horse. This year promises unique opportunities and success for certain zodiac signs more than others.
Foremost among the fortunate are those born in past Horse years (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014). Their natural ambition and independence will be supercharged, helping them achieve goals with remarkable efficiency and determination.
Dogs will experience a surge in social energy, opening doors to new relationships and exciting opportunities. Astrologer Donna Stellhorn notes, “The Year of the Horse brings many social invitations, new people to meet, and chances to deepen existing bonds.”

Tigers can expect an abundance of good luck, especially in love and career.

Goats might find the pace of this year hectic but ultimately rewarding. The supportive environment helps them progress steadily, rebuilding confidence and creating stability in their professional lives. “Goats benefit from gentle strength during the Horse year, receiving nurturing energy that fosters consistent growth,” explains Stellhorn.
Overall, the Year of the Fire Horse sparks exciting transformations, particularly for these four signs, promising a year filled with growth, connection, and success.
