Quick answer
If you were born between February 17, 2026 and February 5, 2027, your Chinese zodiac animal is the Horse (火马), a Yang Fire year. The Chinese year starts at Chinese New Year, not on January 1, so if your birthday is earlier in 2026 you are a Snake (蛇) instead.

Horses are lively, independent and love freedom and travel. They are warm and popular, though impatient and quick to move on.
As a Yang Fire sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Horse nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
