On February 17, 2026, a new cycle begins in the Chinese horoscope with the arrival of the Fire Horse, a period characterized by intensity and transformation. For those under the Tiger sign, this year is expected to bring profound movements and challenges that encourage renewal. Astrologer Ludovica Squirru shares her insights into what the horoscope holds for Tigers during this transformative year.

In her book 'Chinese Horoscope 2026: Fire Horse' published by Ediciones B, Squirru elaborates on how this phase is an opportune time for introspection and strengthening family ties, which are essential for embracing new horizons. The transition into this new cycle comes after the challenging year of the Wood Snake, where Tigers had to manage their energy amidst difficulties including disputes and unexpected challenges.

According to Squirru, the year of the Wood Snake posed significant tests for the Tiger, pushing them into unfamiliar territory filled with trials that required careful energy management. As they approach the year of the Fire Horse, there is a sense of hope for renewal and a chance to overcome past adversities, setting the stage for a more flourishing future.
