The Year of the Fire Horse begins on Feb. 17, bringing a mix of optimism and caution as Filipinos brace for a fast-paced year marked by energy, ambition, and transformation.
Feng shui expert Marites Allen said the rare Fire Horse, which appears once every 60 years, favors decisiveness and long-term planning while punishing impulsiveness and indecision.
She noted that agile sectors such as technology, digital platforms, education, and wellness may see rapid growth in 2026.
Allen also pointed to potential leadership tensions, citing opposing zodiac signs of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte, urging direct dialogue to ease conflicts.
Another feng shui practitioner, Johnson Chua, echoed the call for clarity and foresight, saying the year will reward those who act boldly but thoughtfully.
