There are 12 houses in the Chinese zodiac each representing an animal. If you were born in a Year of the Horse (whereby multiples of 12 years have passed since you were born), be aware that there are also five traditional elements in each year – wood (creative), fire (passionate), earth (practica)l, metal (determined) and water (adaptable). If you are a 2026 Horse, you are known as a Fire Horse. The age 72 is especially auspicious in your Chinese calendar. Interpreting the characteristics of each type of animal varies to a large extent depending on which astrologer you choose to consult. Generally, it is agreed that the Fire Horse is traditionally associated with adventure, independence, persistence, confidence and sociability. You are energetic and self-motivated. The coming year may reflect a period that will be more direct and fast-paced. However, you may find yourself occasionally restless which can lead to stubbornness, impatience and frustration. On the other hand, both fire and horse are linked to speed and so decisions may happen quickly. Famous Fire Horses include Janet Jackson, Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, Adam Sandler, Kiefer Sutherland, Mike Tyson Other famous Horses include Aretha Frankin, Sean Connery, Denzil Washington, Neil Armstrong, Kevin Costner, Gordon Ramsay, Clint Eastwood Historically Horses have included Nelson Mandela, Thomas Edison, Vladimir Lenin, Bugsy Siegel, Joe Biden, Barbra Streisand, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Betty Ford, Jorn Utzon (architect of the Sydney Opera House), Leonard Bernstein etc. Quote
