New Release: 2026 Year of the Horse Aurum®

Get ready for the year of the FIRE Horse.

It’s time for the latest addition to our popular Lunar New Year series: the Year of the Horse! New for 2026, the Year of the Horse Aurum® makes a fantastic gift for anyone born under this Chinese zodiac sign, as well as friends and family members who are celebrating the holiday. This zodiac cycle’s Year of the Horse is particularly significant among Lunar New Year celebrants and astrology enthusiasts alike, largely due to the symbolism of the Fire Horse. Within the Chinese zodiac, each of the 13 years can have one of five rotating elemental signs (earth, metal, fire, wood, and water) associated with it. A Fire Horse year is considered especially auspicious because it symbolizes big changes ahead. Personal growth, relocation to a new city, the beginning or end of a significant relationship, forging a new career path – all of these are considered more likely during a Fire Horse year. The most recent Fire Horse year took place between January 1966 and February 1967.

As we discussed in our Year of the Snake blog post, Lunar New Year has been widely celebrated throughout much of Southeast Asia, and across the global Asian diaspora, for many centuries. In most of the world, the 2026 Year of the Horse begins on February 17, 2026 and runs until February 5, 2027.

Notable people born under the Horse astrological sign include author Aldous Huxley (1894), investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett (1930), author Tom Wolfe (1930), Beatle Paul McCartney (1942), actor Harrison Ford (1942), film critic Roger Ebert (1942), legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix (1942), actor and martial artist Jackie Chan (1954), journalist Al Roker (1954), French President François Hollande (1954), pop star Janet Jackson (1966), actor Kumail Nanjiani (1978), actor Margot Robbie (1990), and actor Jenna Ortega (2002).

Whether you were born in the Year of the Horse, are an astrology buff, or simply have a friend or loved one who falls into one of these categories, we wish you an auspicious year ahead.
