Every Dog has their day, but for you all days can be fortunate in 2026 Fire Horse year! Horse is your best friend in the Chinese zodiac so things just work out in your favor. Anticipate a promotion or other form of luck that advances your career or interests. Dog values are championed this year: truth telling, swift justice, and fair but quick resolution to problems. Fire Horse’s adventurous spirit inspires you to take risks, travel, and express yourself in a new way. You collaborate well with others, and romance and relationships are highlighted. Now is your time to shine in the sun, develop and enjoy strong social connections, and succeed.
The element Fire empowers the 2006 or 1946 Fire Dog to create a brighter blaze. Fire strengthens the 2018 or 1958 Earth Dog because Fire is the “mother” of Earth; after Fire burns it creates ash that is more Earth. Fire melts Metal so stay steady and take care of yourself for the 1970 Metal Dog. The 1982 Water Dog has an advantage this year because Water can control and extinguish Fire. The 1994 Wood Dog could be in the role of the nurturer or caregiver this year because Wood is the “mother” of Fire. Wood is fuel for Fire, so the Wood Dog benefits by keeping boundaries and not overgiving.

Tao Te Ching verse for Dog
Every being in the universe is an expression of the Tao.
It springs into existence, unconscious, perfect, free.
It takes on a physical body, and lets circumstances complete it.
That is why every being spontaneously honors the Tao.
The Tao gives birth to all beings, nourishes them, maintains them,
cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
takes them back to itself, creating without possessing,
acting without expecting, guiding without interfering.
That is why the love of the Tao is in the very nature of things.
