2026 is the Fire Horse.

Byeongo (병오) — yang fire over the horse, the fastest, hottest pairing in the sixty-year cycle. Koreans call it a year of speed: things ignite, move, and decide quickly. What it does to you depends on your chart. Cast it below — your year score and all twelve months, rated.

Month by month.

Twelve months of the Fire Horse year. The dates are regular calendar dates — each month just opens at its solar term, not on the 1st, so the spans run roughly the 5th to the 4th. The card you're in right now is marked.

Keep the card.

When does the Year of the Fire Horse 2026 start?

Not at midnight on January 1, and not at Lunar New Year either. In saju, the year turns at Ipchun (입춘, "Start of Spring") — the instant the sun reaches 315° of celestial longitude. In 2026 that moment lands on February 4, and because it's an astronomical event rather than a calendar convention, it drifts between February 3 and February 5 from year to year.

The months above work the same way. A saju month is not a calendar month or a moon cycle — it opens at one of the twelve major solar terms, from Start of Spring through Minor Cold, each fixed by the sun's position down to the minute. People file this system under "the Chinese lunar calendar," and for the year and month pillars that's exactly backwards: only the sun decides them.

Born in late January 2026? You're still in the Wood Snake year, and a chatbot guessing from the calendar date will get your whole year wrong. This site computes the term times astronomically, the way a Korean manse calendar does, and the engine is cross-checked against an independent implementation.

For reflection and entertainment. A chart is a mirror, not a verdict.
