The Year of the Fire Horse (丙午, Bing Wu) runs from February 17, 2026 to February 5, 2027. The Horse is free-spirited, energetic, warm and outspoken.",
  "matchAnswer": "The Horse's best matches are the Goat, Tiger and Dog (Six Harmonies with the Goat, the Fire trine with the Tiger and Dog). Its classical clash is with the Rat.",
  "currentYearAnswer": "In the current Year of the Fire Horse (February 17, 2026 to February 5, 2027), the Horse is in its own birth year (Ben Ming Nian) and punishes Tai Sui, so tradition counts it among the signs in conflict with Tai Sui this year."
