BaZi 2026: 丙午, the Year of the Fire Horse

Bing Wu · Yang Fire over Horse (Fire)

The BaZi year 2026 is 丙午 (Bing Wu), the Fire Horse. It doesn't begin on January 1 but at Lì Chūn, the Start of Spring. Here's when it starts and ends, what it brings each Day Master, its directions, its months and its solar terms.

From Lì Chūn to Lì Chūn

The BaZi year changes when the sun reaches 315°, at Lì Chūn (立春). If you were born before that moment, your Year pillar is the previous year's.
