Lunar New Year 2026 welcomes in the Year of the Horse, a zodiac sign associated with energy, freedom and moving forward. The Horse symbolises passion, confidence and a strong drive to pursue goals, encouraging people to act boldly and embrace change.

Traditionally, Horse years are seen as times of movement and progress, favouring travel, innovation and desired action. As 2026 is also a Fire Horse year, these qualities are amplified with creativity and ambition, and is an important time for fresh starts, leadership and chasing dreams with courage and enthusiasm.
