庚 2026 丙午 Annual Horoscope: Forged in Fire, Reborn Stronger!

Annual Forecast: Turning Pressure into Power

• For Strong 庚: This is a once-in-a-decade breakthrough opportunity. Stubborn metal needs fire to become a vessel. Although the pressure is immense, you can "Accept the Mandate in Danger." Step forward when others retreat, transforming pressure (Warrior) into power and status. Strategy: "Active Assumption of Duty"—this is your ladder to promotion.
• For Weak 庚: This is a high-pressure period where "Authority and Warrior attack the Self." You may feel on the verge of collapse or at risk of being eliminated by the system. Fire conquers Metal, so watch out for respiratory and skin issues. Strategy: "Manage Pressure." Do not fight head-on; seek the cooling of Water (Wisdom) and the protection of Wet Earth (Mentor).

First Half vs. Second Half Strategy

• First Half (High-Pressure Forging): The Fire is intense; you may be pushed around or forced to take a stand and handle difficult problems. The Warrior star's attack is strongest. Strategy: "Control the Rhythm" like a blacksmith; do not let the fire throw you into disarray.
• Second Half (Cooling and Shaping): Metal and Water energies enter, allowing you to sort through the chaos. With the support of Metal (Peer) and the regulation of Water (Creator), the grinding of the first half begins to turn into results. Strategy: Use the accumulated experience to establish your authority and status amidst change.

Monthly Horoscope Breakdown

Q1: Shock and Stance

• 庚寅 Month (Feb 04 - Mar 05) | Wealth Generates WarriorOpening: 庚 (Peer) emerges, but Earthly Branch 寅 combines with 午. High pressure begins immediately from ancestors, systems, or superiors. 偏財 (Venturer) fuels the Warrior star. Financial pressure is high, the pace is fast, and anxiety may cause insomnia.
• 辛卯 Month (Mar 06 - Apr 04) | Mao-Wu Destruction, Forced to StandTurbulence: You are in a state of "Destruction." Interpersonal relationships and workplace stances are prone to misunderstandings or splits. You are often forced to declare "which side you are on". This is not the time for emotional confrontation; Weak 庚 must guard against mental collapse.
• 壬辰 Month (Apr 05 - May 05) | Creator Controls WarriorTurning Point: 壬 食神 (Creator) emerges. 辰 is Wet Earth, capable of dimming Fire and generating Metal. Although old problems or bad debts may surface, this is the perfect time to use professional skills to solve problems and restructure frameworks.

Q2: Extreme Fire Forging

• 癸巳 Month (May 06 - Jun 05) | Double Fire RoastingContradiction: 癸 傷官 (Challenger) emerges, with mixed 巳 and 午. You are at the center of the fire, being arranged and demanded. Weak 庚 will feel extremely exhausted. Avoid making decisions you will regret under pressure, and watch out for verbal disputes.
• 甲午 Month (Jun 06 - Jul 06) | Wu-Wu Self-Penalty (Annual Pressure Peak)Warning: The hardest time of the year. Internal and external pressures explode, with no room for laziness. "Self-Penalty" implies internal struggle and self-torture. Strong 庚 can make a name for themselves; Weak 庚 must prioritize physical and mental health to prevent burnout.
• 乙未 Month (Jul 07 - Aug 07) | Dry Earth Brittle MetalTrap: 未 looks like a Mentor (Earth), but it is actually Dry Earth. Dry Earth does not generate Metal; instead, it makes 庚 brittle. Seemingly gentle support may have hidden agendas ("a dagger hidden in a smile"). Strategy: Rebuild trust, but beware of errors in judgment.

Q3: Turnaround and Counterattack

• 丙申 Month (Aug 08 - Sep 07) | Geng Gets RootTurnaround: 庚 finally finds its Root (Lu)! Strong 庚 gains full confidence. This is a moment of glory, standing alone against an army. Do not retreat; stepping forward is the start of promotion and power—truly "Turning Warrior into Authority".
• 丁酉 Month (Sep 08 - Oct 07) | Authority Controls CompetitorDiscipline: 丁 正官 (Authority) confronts 酉 羊刃 (Competitor). Strong 庚 stands firm, potentially receiving resource restructuring or support from big bosses. Romance is strong but fast-paced; guard against emotional swings destroying relationships.
• 戊戌 Month (Oct 08 - Nov 06) | Fire Tomb SufferingGrinding: Fire and Earth are strong. Tasks pile up; you want to speed up but can't. Old problems (like ex-partners or old projects) may recur. This is a slow rebuilding process; it requires patience in communication.

Q4: Change and Harvest

• 己亥 Month (Nov 07 - Dec 06) | Si-Hai ClashRunning: Water and Fire clash. Typical "Sitting at home, but trouble falls from the sky". Although busy, Water controls Fire, allowing your intelligence to shine. It is a good time to see the situation clearly and solve problems.
• 庚子 Month (Dec 07 - Jan 05) | Zi-Wu Clash (Greatest Shock)Impact: The biggest impact point of the year, Zi clashes with Wu. Rhythms are disrupted; teams or positions may undergo a blood swap. "Chaos is a ladder"—Strong 庚 should break the deadlock and establish new order; Weak 庚 should seek stability.
• 辛丑 Month (Jan 06 - Feb 03) | Chou-Wu HarmConclusion: Chou is the Wet Earth Metal Treasury. Responsibilities become heavier, and things that could be delayed now become urgent. Suitable for financial summaries; true wealth accumulation is only visible in this month.

Survival Guide for 庚 in 2026

1. Mindset: Treat Yourself as Iron Being Forged

庚 must "Rise to the Challenge." Listen to the sound of hammering; the key is to Control Your Own Rhythm, rather than being led by the external heat.

2. Noblemen and Health: Finding Coolant

• Noblemen: Avoid people with strong Fire (born in Summer, Snake, Horse); they add to your pressure. Get close to people with strong Water (born in Winter, Pig, Rat). They are your "Coolant".
• Health: Fire conquers Metal. Prioritize the Respiratory System (Lungs), Skin, and Bones (back pain). Contact with water helps cool down.
