The first day of the Chinese New Year begins on the new moon, which falls on February 17, 2026. The date signifies the start of the vibrant and fiery Year of the Horse.
The Chinese zodiac is a traditional classification system based on the Chinese calendar, assigning an animal and its attributes to each year in a repeating 12-year lunar cycle. What's more, every 60 years, an animal (such as the horse) aligns with an element (like fire), creating a year filled with unique energy and characteristics.
In Chinese culture, the horse is known for its energetic and dynamic personality. It symbolizes vitality, speed, enthusiasm, and perseverance. People born in the Year of the Horse are believed to possess similar traits, such as being hardworking, warmhearted, independent, and driven.
