2026 is 丙午 (Bing Wu), the Horse, with lichun at 2026-02-04 04:02, nayin Celestial River Water, number 43 of the sixty-cycle. This page lists everything about the year that can be computed: which animals stand in which relation to the year branch (the "fan tai sui" list), the twelve month pillars that follow from the year stem, and the instant the year turns.
Plenty of people search for "2026 yearly forecast", so this needs saying first: nothing on this page predicts events. Fan tai sui is a fixed table relation between an animal and the year branch — computable and checkable, but carrying no fortune score. Ranking the animals of a year into bands and attaching a remedy is the standard commercial move in this niche; this site publishes the relations and sells nothing to avert them.
Computed from the tables, 4 animals stand in a relation to the 2026 year branch (午). The five relations can stack, so one animal may appear in two kinds at once.

From the five-tiger rule: the year stem 丙 (Bing) fixes the first month's stem, and the rest run in order — all twelve inside the sixty-cycle. Month pillars turn at the solar term, so the "opens at" column is that switching point.
| Month | Opens at | Month pillar |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 立春 Start of Spring | 庚寅 (Geng Yin) |
| 2 | 惊蛰 Awakening of Insects | 辛卯 (Xin Mao) |
| 3 | 清明 Clear and Bright | 壬辰 (Ren Chen) |
| 4 | 立夏 Start of Summer | 癸巳 (Gui Si) |
| 5 | 芒种 Grain in Ear | 甲午 (Jia Wu) |
| 6 | 小暑 Minor Heat | 乙未 (Yi Wei) |
| 7 | 立秋 Start of Autumn | 丙申 (Bing Shen) |
| 8 | 白露 White Dew | 丁酉 (Ding You) |
| 9 | 寒露 Cold Dew | 戊戌 (Wu Xu) |
| 10 | 立冬 Start of Winter | 己亥 (Ji Hai) |
| 11 | 大雪 Major Snow | 庚子 (Geng Zi) |
| 12 | 小寒 Minor Cold | 辛丑 (Xin Chou) |
2026 begins at 2026-02-04 04:02 (lichun, Beijing time). Anyone born before that instant carries the 2025 year pillar (乙巳, Yi Si) instead. This site judges the year pillar, the animal and every day pillar against this one boundary, so its pages cannot contradict each other.
2026 is number 43 of the sixty, the same pillar as 1966 and 2086 — the cycle repeats every sixty years because the stem and branch periods (10 and 12) meet again at 60.
Every enumerable component of ba zi has its own page here. Each page is computed by the same engine and can be checked item by item — none of it is a personality table.
