Year of the Fire Horse 2026: these 3 zodiac signs will win love and money while others struggle

From February 17, 2026 to February 5, 2027, the Year of the Fire Horse promises a crazy race where everything accelerates. In this tumult, three zodiac signs see their luck explode on money, work, and relationships.

In February 2026, the Chinese sky suddenly changes scenery. With the Lunar New Year on February 17, the former Year of the Wood Snake fades away to make way for the Year of the Fire Horse 2026, reputed to be intense, fast, unpredictable. This passage, celebrated throughout the world, marks the opening of a rare cycle where the energy of Fire shakes up both our bank accounts and our love affairs.

As the South China Morning Post explains, “The Year of the Fire Horse is expected to be full of breakthroughs, innovations, and rapid change.” Astrologer Ludovica Squirru warns that no one will come out of this period unscathed, as the questioning promises to be strong. And yet, the astrologer @ancientwifi7 points out that three zodiac signs have a clear advantage, “while the others struggle”, over the entire lunar year.

In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse returns only every sixty years, combining the animal of movement and the element of passion. The general atmosphere: decisions taken at full speed, risks assumed, sudden changes of course. The astrologer @ancientwifi7, quoted by the media YourTango, explains that some people gain ideal timing: “While the whole world is running and overheating, you are the one who wins”.

According to him, these natives combine luck and good timing on the material and emotional planes throughout the lunar cycle. They move forward while the others are exhausted: “while the others are struggling”. Three Western signs particularly benefit from this alignment between the Chinese and Western zodiacs: Capricorn, Taurus and Libra.

Capricorn and Taurus: when Fire turns the Earth into hard
money Capricorn has already given a lot in recent years. For this sign, @ancientwifi7 promises that “this year, you are finally being paid for all this suffering,” as the Fire Horse values patience and a sense of duty. He adds that “these boring projects suddenly turn into status and money”: a file that has remained in the shadows, a discreet position or a long-term commitment can pay off big and help to make the home and family life more secure.

For Taurus, another Earth sign, the tone is even clearer. “The key word this year is simple: money. Fire feeds your Earth energy, turning your constant efforts into a money-making machine,” the astrologer explains. He evokes a period when natives stop undervaluing themselves and when they “reach that savings goal” they have been aiming for for a long time, whether it is a real estate purchase or a solid safety cushion.

Libra: purer ties, and a new way to say yes to luck
For Libra, a very relational Air sign, the year 2026 acts above all on the network and the intimate. The astrologer reminds us that “Chinese astrology speaks of balance”, a familiar ground for this sign. According to him, “the double energy of Fire actually makes your gold purer and sharper.” The result: “Empty connections disappear, and people of great value enter your life, who really fit your values and bring real opportunities,” whether it’s a new work environment, influential allies, or deeper love.

Year of the Fire Horse: When the Chinese Horoscope Tests the Most Resilient
In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse is described as one of the most intense and transformational cycles. Fire and horse combine to push for movement, for reinvention, sometimes by shaking us out of our routines. The challenges that arise then take on the air of the beginning of a breakthrough rather than simple bad luck.

For many, this energy translates mainly into an invisible mental load. We carry more responsibilities at work and at home, we say yes so as not to offend, we postpone our projects. An astrologer interviewed by Trucmania even speaks of a “golden prison”, where everything seems harmonious from the outside while a small inner flame is gradually suffocated.

Six Chinese zodiac signs that are struggling today but are destined for success
For the Horse, the reigning sign of the year, the beginning of the cycle moves all the lines: what seemed solid becomes temporary. This uncomfortable tension serves as a launching pad for more abundance and confidence by the end of 2026. The Goat feels above all an emotional weight: demanding family life, responsibilities that are not always recognized. This emotional work behind the scenes prepares a more stable and gentle existence. The Monkey, on the other hand, sees his plans change constantly, to the point of feeling like he’s losing control, while these breakups actually make room for great career progression.

Le Coq is propelled to the forefront of the scene and can feel judged with every move, while this visibility will turn into real recognition as 2026 progresses. The Dog, worn out by a long period of stress, learns to lay down unnecessary responsibilities and sees the return of stability and support at the end of the year. The Pig comes out of a trying cycle and rebuilds brick by brick, until everything aligns and a new path of success and love opens up before him.

Turning this silent struggle into success by the end of 2026
Basically, these six signs have one thing in common: they carry a lot for others and tend to mute their dreams so as not to disturb. This same astrologer reminds us that “your dreams were given to you for a reason” and that fading away does no one any favors in the long run.

Setting clear boundaries, accepting to be more visible and keeping time protected for their projects are all ways for these discreet profiles to turn the energy of the Fire Horse into success.

On February 18, 2026, the sky shifts: eclipse, Moon trine Jupiter and the beginning of Pisces season shake things up for three signs. Between love, luck and creative impulses, their daily life could take an unexpected turn.

In mid-February 2026, the astrological sky looks like a real crossroads: eclipse, change of Sun sign, rare aspects between slow planets. Among the twelve signs, three are clearly doing well after February 18, 2026, to the point of feeling like the darlings of the universe. For them, something clearly shifts, in love, in social life or even on the material level.

It all starts the day before, on February 17, with a New Moon coupled with a solar eclipse in Aquarius. It highlights the way we connect with others and project ourselves into the future, shaking up certain habits in the process. “It’s a dense, inner moment,” sums up the lunar horoscope for February 17, 2026 published by Elle. This climate of pause before the action prepares behind the scenes for the beautiful opening of the following days.

On February 18, the Sun leaves Aquarius to enter Pisces and set up a softer atmosphere, turned towards intuition and sensitivity. At the same time, the Moon forms a harmonious trine to Jupiter, an aspect associated with renewed confidence and opportunities that arise more easily. Astrologers then recommend less mind control, more listening to what happens naturally.

In this cosmic setting, three signs stand out clearly: Taurus, Libra and Pisces. Their horoscope of February 17 already showed a ground ready to bloom: a tender climate and reassuring words for Taurus, awareness of what really makes us vibrate in love for Libra, new ideas and creativity in turmoil for Pisces. The Moon-Jupiter trine on the 18th acts as an accelerator on what they felt confusedly the day before.

Luck, love, creativity: why these natives are favored
For Taurus, the harmony of Mercury in Pisces with Jupiter in Cancer, described on February 17, already opened up a very tender climate in love, where words reassure and bring people together. Libra, on the other hand, became aware of what allows them to feel truly alive and recognized, even if it means welcoming an unforeseen relational event. As for the Pisces, their minds were bubbling with new ideas, which it was better to leave to mature in the shadows.

To this already fertile ground is added a touch of statistical luck. According to an Australian study relayed by The Lott, Pisces concentrates 11.6% of jackpots, ahead of Gemini (9.9%) and Virgo (8.9%). Taurus is one of the signs that takes 8.5% of the gains, while Libra sits at 7.7%. This does not promise anything concrete, but confirms that these profiles know how to attract good opportunities when the sky is suitable.

After February 18: the right reflex
After the 18th, Taurus, Libra and Pisces benefit from saying yes to impulses that bring gentleness and support, whether it’s an outstretched hand, an invitation or an inspiring idea. Taking the time to write down intentions and to treat yourself to screen-free moments amplifies this wave of growth.
