2026 Grand Duke (Tai-sui)

The Horse governs 2026 and shall assume the position as the Grand Duke (Tai-Sui) until the Year of the Goat arrives in 2027. The impact of the Horse is dynamic and passionate.

Each year brings hidden dangers if you are not wary. The Rat, Ox and Rabbit are somewhat exposed in different ways. Because this is a Fire Horse year, the influence of the year becomes evident for those born in Horse and Rat years.

The Horse creates a self-punishment condition. People born in Horse years act on impulse, make decisions based on situations more than rational outlook and may end up running away from a problem or issue they create themselves. If Horse is representative of your output stars, you need to be careful about decisions and the consequences it carry.

The Ox must manage a 'harm' situation created in the Horse year. What is the logic ? According to the system of combinations and clashed in the zodiac cycle, the Horse year combines and is most complimentary to the Goat. However, the Ox is always in a clash position against the Goat. Therefore, the Horse is left with no options but to 'harm' the Ox as a penalty. People born in Ox years will therefore feel disadvantaged and left out of the good deals. Properly managed, Ox will not have any lack of opportunities if they venture and ask around for a chance to prove themselves.

Rabbits are in a destructive relationship against the Horse year. Usually conflict- averse, Rabbits can get caught up in disagreements and politics, for which they are reluctantly drawn into. This creates unpleasant and deteriorating working conditions that may force them to consider getting out of their current arrangement, walking out on a deal or looking for alternative work.

Rats clashes out against the Horse year and will anticipate making the first move thus making them look aggressive. Both are Peach Blossom stars and Rats are likely to gear up in any personal competition without much care and concern for any damage they may cause. Whenever the Horse and Rat clash, there will be smoke, visual and at most times, dramatic.
