Riding the Cosmic Tide.
While your personal Ba Zi chart provides a unique blueprint for your life, the annual zodiac cycle brings ever-shifting energies that influence everyone, regardless of their birth chart. Understanding the annual "Wealth Star" associated with each zodiac sign can help you navigate the year's financial opportunities and challenges with greater awareness and intention.
What are Annual Zodiac Wealth Stars ?
Unlike the Wealth Stars derived from your individual Ba Zi chart, annual Wealth Stars are based on the ruling zodiac sign of the year, 2026 being the Year of the Fire Horse.
Each zodiac sign (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig) corresponds to specific elements and energies. These energies interact with each individual zodiac sign differently, creating favorable or less favorable wealth prospects.
Think of it as you, classified as the zodiac of your birth year, as the host or recipient. Each year, and 2026 being the Year of the Fire Horse, as a visitor to your life, sometimes referred to as your palace.
The Fire Horse year therefore brings a certain energy and create an interaction with each corresponding zodiac sign, thus resulting in different levels of positivity or otherwise, in the areas of luck, wealth and their auxiliary functions.
Origins in Chinese Astrology.
This concept stems from the principles of Chinese astrology, where the interaction of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) governs the flow of energy and fortune. The annual zodiac sign carries a dominant element that either supports, controls, weakens, or is weakened by the elements associated with each individual zodiac sign. This interplay determines the general wealth outlook for each sign in a given year.
The 4 main stars that bring wealth to these zodiacs in 2026.
The Fortune Virtue is brought to Rabbits. This requires Rabbits to work up its efficacy with personal relationships and interactions. Fortune Virtue opens up to opportunities and visibility of your image. Your personal identity notches up because this star portrays you in good light, congenial, confident, efficient and open minded. It draws the attention of key players who can be responsible to your next leap to success, at work, in business or purely in recognition of you being a valuable asset.
The Golden Lock is presented to the Horse. The question is what to do with the key in your hands. This star is a stimulant, a vision presented to you as achievements and advancements in life. Financially, it is seen as stability and
sustainability for further
growth, especially in investments and savings. Its strong destiny quality also pulls you towards a robust relationship with the right connections and social surroundings. As an attraction towards good health constitution, it provides great mental skills for success.
The Golden Carriage is a reward star. A star of accumulation, this is bestowed upon Goats in 2026 as an honor towards your good work, ingenuity and compassion towards others. Viewed as a payment in kind and cash, this is credited to you without you having to do further. At the same time, it also mean as a time for you to be seen as one of wealth, social status, great disposition and powerful connections. If success attracts more success, this is the star that fits the description best as it combines with the Horse year to bring a state of fulfillment and harmony.
The Jade Hall is right before the eyes of the Pig. This is a self-generating star of financial dealings, acquisitions and profits. This is like a stage you are on, in which you are given the opportunity to pick your prize. Like a game of wheel of fortune, it requires process thinking, wit, imagination and while trying to land the big rewards, an ability to apply the right pressure with good timing. Through the year, Pigs can exercise the art of persuasion, gentle nudges, coercion and non-intrusive exploitations of situations to get the best of this wealth star.
Wealth Star impacts on each zodiac sign in the Year of the Fire Horse and here's how to get one even if they do not appear in your favor.

A parting note.
While much has been focused on the impact of the annual stars on the year of birth and respective zodiac, we must also realize that there may be other zodiac signs that will appear and interact with different functions to impact us in unique ways.
The Year zodiac implies the opportunities from the external impact. For example, when one is born in the Year of the Pig, the Jade Hall acts on one's year energies, bringing about chances for financial dealings, acquisitions and profits.
Given the same Year of the Horse, if one has a Pig in the month (being anyone born in the month between 7th November and 6th December of any given year of birth, then the impact of the same quality goes to the advantages towards work environment, current working arrangements, personal side gigs, your own business and even attaches itself towards matters involving colleagues, siblings and parents.
If it is the day, this impact your personal dealings, your spouse, your personal strategies, directions and decisions.
Should this appear in the hour pillar, it says about your current cash position, your assets, your investments and even matters involving your legacy plans and children
So, do not jump into quick conclusion that it is going to be terrible financially if you are born in the year of the Tiger which officially does not come with a single positive star.
