Happy Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, Tujia New Year, Tsagaan Sar, Hmong New Year, Ryukyu New Year, Korean New Year, and Vietnamese New Year to those who celebrate, in whatever way you celebrate, and in whatever name you call it around the world!
2026 is the Year of the Horse—the Fire Horse to be specific—and a particularly lucky time as The Smithsonian wrote another related piece about horses and how the Chinese zodiac associates them with prosperity and success. NatGeo recalled the first Fire Horse new year in 60 years and what the zodiac cycle all means, Teen Vogue looked at the year ahead, and something from 10 years ago where someone asked why it’s supposed to be bad to be born in the year of the Fire Horse.
