Reading your 2026...
2026 is the year of the Yang Fire Horse (丙午) — the 43rd pairing of the 60-year stem-branch cycle, returning for the first time since 1966. The year turns at Lìchūn in early February, the solar term that begins spring, and carries Fire over Fire: the Horse’s own element doubled by the year’s Yang Fire stem.
What that means for you depends entirely on your own chart. A Tiger or a Dog stands in trine with the Horse and tends to move with the year; a Rat stands in direct clash with it and plays a defensive year; a Horse rides its own 本命年 with all the turbulence that implies. JadeMirror computes your exact standing, your element’s relation to the year’s Fire, and a four-season arc — then says it straight.
2026 is Bǐng Wǔ (丙午) in the 60-year stem-branch cycle: Yang Fire stem over the Horse branch, the Yang Fire Horse. The year begins at Lìchūn (around February 4), when the sun reaches 315° of celestial longitude — not at Lunar New Year. Fire Horse years return once every 60 years; the last was 1966.
The Tài Suì (太歲) is the year's presiding influence, tied to the year's branch. Your own animal stands in a specific relation to it: clash (沖) demands caution, the six harmonies (六合) and trines (三合) lend support, your own year (本命年) carries its famous turbulence, and neutral years sit in between. JadeMirror computes your standing exactly and reads it honestly.
流年 means 'flowing year' — the traditional annual reading of how a specific year treats a specific chart. JadeMirror's version computes your standing with the year animal, the Five-Element relation between your element and the year's Fire, deterministic luck meters, and a four-season arc with your peak quarter and your caution quarter.
Yes. Your yearly reading is a fixed artifact: computed once for your chart and kept all year, in the language you read it in. When the calendar turns, it archives and the new year's reading takes its place.
