As the year 2026 approaches, astrologers predict numerous changes and challenges that may impact the lives of all people. It is important to be prepared for fateful events that could fundamentally alter the usual way of life. More details about what awaits each zodiac sign in the new year are reported by "Izvestia".
Prospects for 2026
The year 2026 will be a time of profound changes affecting all areas of life: from career to personal relationships. Astrologers emphasize that this year will push individuals to rethink previous goals and seek new directions. These changes are expected to lead to significant personal and societal growth.
The challenges of 2026 will be associated with several important astronomical events, including three periods of retrograde Mercury, which will occur from late February to early March, from June to July, and from October to November. These periods traditionally bring about slowdowns and the need to revise plans. Additionally, two eclipse corridors in spring and summer, both solar and lunar, will be crucial moments for changes, when internal and situational shifts may manifest particularly sharply.
Furthermore, in 2026, magnetic storms and other cosmic influences are expected, which may increase emotional sensitivity. These conditions require people to be flexible and mindful to cope with tense periods and take advantage of emerging opportunities.
Astrologers recommend carefully planning important matters, considering both favorable and unfavorable astrological moments, as well as maintaining inner balance and readiness for change. This will help successfully navigate the challenges of 2026 and make it a time of personal and professional growth.
What symbol of the year awaits us in 2026
The year 2025 is passing under the sign of the Green Wooden Snake, symbolizing wisdom and the ability to transform. This year has become a time of re-evaluations and shedding outdated beliefs for many. The Snake teaches us attentiveness, patience, and the pursuit of harmony in the surrounding world.
The new year 2026 will begin under the sign of the Fire Horse, which symbolizes movement, freedom, and passion. Astrologers are confident that changes will be particularly noticeable this year in career and personal growth. The energy of the Fire Horse will inspire initiative and a desire for change; however, it also requires discipline and the ability to manage one's emotions to avoid conflicts. This year will be especially successful for those who are ready for rapid changes and are not afraid to take on responsibility.
The Fire Horse will assert its rights on the first lunar day of the second new moon after the winter solstice, which in 2026 falls on February 17. From this moment, a new cycle will begin, and the energy of the Horse will guide us throughout the year.
Superstitions and recommendations for the Year of the Fire Horse
According to Eastern traditions, the Year of the Red Fire Horse will be filled with the energy of change. To attract good luck, it is recommended to:
- choose red clothing and accessories, which symbolize protection and strength;
- use natural materials in the interior, such as cotton and silk, as well as red and fiery accents to create an atmosphere of success;
- light candles on New Year's Eve to ward off evil spirits and fill the home with positive energy;
- place horse figurines in the home as talismans of luck and career growth, avoiding their placement in relaxation areas;
- avoid dishes made from horse meat at the festive table, preferring plant-based foods such as vegetables and fruits.
It is believed that in the Year of the Fire Horse, it is important to be active and not fear change. The energy of this sign favors those who are ready to take initiative and assume responsibility. Mutual respect and loyalty will be the key to success and harmony, while betrayal and injustice will be unacceptable.
