How will your love life look in the Year of the Horse 2026? Here's your love horoscope
Is your love luck strong in the Year of the Horse?
According to feng shui coach Johnson Chua, the Lunar New Year—which starts on Feb. 17—is all about fire and passion in life and in love. "Fire represents emotions. When there's an abundance of it, emotions are very high. When your passion is strong, you may have a positive outlook. You may enhance courage, unity, and harmony," he told PhilSTAR L!fe. Too much fire, however, isn't good either, as some situations could go sideways and cause a strain in your relationships if you don't keep your feelings and emotions under control.

Check out what the stars say about your love life in the Year of the Horse.
Rat
You are prone to challenges this year since you’re the Horse’s number one enemy. Being under a conflict sign makes it hard to control emotions, which often leads to unnecessary misunderstandings. Try to maintain harmony in your relationship by being more understanding. Avoid getting easily triggered or provoked by arguments that aren't worth your energy. Don’t escalate minor issues, and always prioritize communicating calmly and peacefully with your partner.
Ox
For those who were born under the Year of the Ox, this year is shaping up to be a favorable one—you are even considered one of the luckiest animal signs. Regarding relationships, you can expect significant improvement in harmony and love because the power of love luck is on your side. If you’re single, you have a high chance of attracting a partner or finding The One. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s important to practice trust and maintain positive communication while ensuring a healthy balance between your professional and personal life so that neither aspect is neglected.
Tiger
For Tigers, this year brings great synergy as a friend to the ruling sign, leading to stronger bonds and connections. In love and relationships, the abundance of social opportunities makes this an ideal time for singles to meet someone new and activate their love luck. However, for those already in a relationship, it’s best to guard against unnecessary arguments by keeping sensitivity in check and avoiding the tendency to overreact to minor issues.
Rabbit
Luck is on your side this year as you, the Horse’s ally and friend, claim the top spot among the luckiest animal signs. This positive energy extends to your love life, where relationships are exceptionally strong and ready for activation or growth. If you’re up for it, it’s the perfect time to take your relationship to the next level, whether through getting engaged or even building a family.
Dragon
Dragons can also expect a wonderful period ahead. Your love luck energy is particularly strong, bringing in a wealth of blessings and great opportunities for singles looking to activate their romantic prospects. However, it is essential to practice healthy communication, as you may find it difficult to control your emotions at times. Stay mindful of your reactions to ensure that small issues or misunderstandings don't escalate into larger conflicts.
Snake
Your relationship luck and love energies are relatively strong this year but there are hidden issues that could potentially cause misunderstandings. Avoid being overly doubtful or prone to overreacting. The best approach is to be direct and communicate properly; address issues as they arise so that today's problems are solved within the day, allowing you to start every tomorrow with a fresh slate.
Horse
While it’s your zodiac year, it’s essential to manage your mental and emotional stress with care this 2026. In relationships, you should refrain from engaging in unnecessary arguments or debates, as your energy this year could make you easily react to or pick fights over the smallest things. To avoid escalating simple misunderstandings that could lead to serious breakups, strive for emotional balance and maintain positive communication with your significant other.
Goat
The Goat is also the Horse’s good friend. This connection makes the year favorable for relationships, providing a great opportunity to strengthen your commitment by proposing marriage to your partner. While your love luck is strong, it’s still important to address hidden issues as soon as possible to prevent them from blowing up into larger problems. Focus on improving trust and staying honest with your partner to build a better foundation, while also working to keep your emotions balanced and steady throughout the year.
Monkey
Your relationship luck is strong this year, bringing in new connections. However, you may find yourself more emotionally sensitive and prone to quick temper this year. When problems arise, avoid the tendency to blame others; instead, practice patience, accept responsibility, and communicate openly so that minor friction doesn’t turn into major arguments. Focus on building deep trust and maintaining clear boundaries to ensure that external influences do not harm your relationship.
Rooster
In terms of love, you are one of the signs blessed with "Sky Happiness," a powerful star that can activate marriage prospects and relationship milestones for couples, or new romantic connections for singles. To make the most of this "happy power," you must actively control your emotions and avoid letting ego or pride dictate your actions, as these are the primary factors that could trigger unnecessary misunderstandings in your personal life.
Dog
For those born in the Year of the Dog, this is a good year because the Dog is a natural friend of the Horse. Your relationship energy is generally positive, but success depends on maintaining a healthy balance between your work and personal life. To strengthen your bond and reach your shared goals, focus on communicating clearly and building a foundation of deep trust. This is a favorable year both for singles looking to find a partner and for couples interested in building or expanding their families.
Pig
Your love luck is very strong and positive this year and to boost that, it’s best to prioritize having high-quality time with your partner. Be mindful not to dwell on negative emotions; when you spend time together, avoid bringing up toxic topics or spreading negativity as this can dampen the good energy. Communicate clearly to keep your relationships harmonious and bright.
