Year of the Horse (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)

Lucky colors: Silver, blue, gray, gold

Affinity numbers: 9, 1

In an interview with “Unang Hirit” and GMA News Online, Johnson said that while 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, it doesn’t necessarily mean that those born in the Year of the Horse will automatically have a good year ahead.

“Dapat maging maingat pagdating sa mga conflict, huwag tayong mabilis magpa-provoke, at maging maingat sa pag-handle ng pera,” he said.

Here are Johnson’s detailed forecasts for different aspects of life for those born in the Year of the Horse: 

Money: Financial opportunities are available to increase your wealth and investments, but don’t be too impulsive when entering risky transactions. You may plan big, but execute properly, as it’s not the best year to make drastic changes in your business.

Career: It’s better to play it safe and avoid major career changes. Be careful about conflicts and office politics, and don’t give in to provocation.

Love: Be more understanding, refrain from dwelling on minor issues, and avoid overreacting.

Health: Be careful of mental and emotional stress, as these may lead to depression and affect your overall health. Be mindful when driving and watch out for accidents.

Just a friendly reminder: These are only guides. Our true fate will still depend on the actions and decisions we make in our lives. — LA, GMA Integrated news
