What does 2026 have in store for the Rooster?

The year of the Horse will be a year in which the Rooster can take control of their life and get exactly what they want out of it. Their organisational skills will be of high value, and they can enjoy entering the year prepared for whatever it brings.

Health for the Rooster in 2026

The Rooster will need to prepare physically and mentally for a busy year and would greatly benefit by ensuring they eat well, prioritise sleep, and remain active. This year may bring some challenges across the Roosters life, which will require a positive mindset. To prepare, the Rooster should spend some time on self-development. Identifying coping mechanisms for times of stress and thinking about what they truly want out of life, rather than what they do not. Writing down a list of goals and wishes for the year and regularly checking in on the progress will keep the Rooster motivated to succeed. There is a risk of minor illnesses such as the flu this year. Spending time in nature, focusing on the breath and practising mindfulness will allow the Rooster to identify early signs of illness and put preventive measures in place.

Work and career for the Rooster in 2026

An exciting, fast-paced year for the Roosters career, which will see many opportunities for career advancement. Being well organised and willing to adapt to change will put the Rooster in a great position for additional responsibilities and a higher-paid role. The rooster may find that they are unable to plan as much as they would like and would benefit greatly by not overthinking and seizing opportunities when they present. Showing support and offering advice to colleagues will gain the attention of higher management; you should see that this is reciprocated. Try to utilise all of your skills and talents at work, especially the ones that you do not usually call upon.

Those wishing to change careers or seeking employment in general will be required to put in additional effort this year. Broadening your search and remaining positive, even in the face of setbacks, should bring exciting opportunities your way.

Finances for the Rooster in 2026

Care and attention will be required regarding finances this year to prevent any debts from accumulating. By finding small savings on non-essential items, even if it’s just off the weekly shop, one can see a considerable amount of money being saved. If possible, the rooster should closely monitor their finances and ensure there are no outgoings that could be avoided. Taking the time to make informed purchases by comparing prices and thoroughly reading contracts will help prevent financial mishaps from occurring.

I would recommend placing a Yurijujin Master cure in the southeast of your home and office in 2026 as we have the annual #9 star fly here for the year. The #9 star is the primary wealth star for period 9 and when activated correctly, we can benefit from strong wealth luck here which will make sure that finances are as good as they can be throughout 2026.

Relationships for the Rooster in 2026

The Rooster will need to prioritise time for their partner this year to prevent strains on their relationship. With a busy social and work year ahead, extra effort will be required to ensure enough quality time is spent together. Any jealousy issues will need to be resolved and discussed sooner rather than later to prevent further problems later in the year. Organising some activities and projects to complete together that will bring you both joy and laughter will help strengthen the bond. The Rooster’s partner will be of great support this year, so they would benefit greatly by being open and honest, taking their views into account before making any decisions. For those going through heartbreak, know that finding happiness with someone else requires being happy within yourself. Focus on yourself before allowing anyone else into your life.

For single Roosters on the lookout for love, adopting a laid-back attitude should attract romance, with some relationships going on to be long-lasting. It would be wise to ensure new relationships remain steady and things aren’t rushed into.

To make sure relationships with loved ones go as smoothly as possible during the year of the Horse, I would recommend placing a Xingwang wish and romance enhancer in the east from the 4^th of February 2026 to the 3^rd of February 2027. The #8 star has taken the role as the relationship star as the #4 star carries an inauspicious nature throughout period 9.

Social and family life for the Rooster in 2026

A highlight of the Rooster’s year, with a very busy social life to look forward to. Many memories will be made with family and opportunities to meet new people who have similar hobbies and interests. The Rooster should be open to joining new clubs and starting new activities to allow feelings of joy and peace away from the busyness of work. The Rooster will need to remain organised, ensuring they aren’t overcommitting; balance is key.

Roosters that generally say no to social commitments would benefit greatly from socialising with friends, even if it is a short phone call. This will energise the Rooster and allow them to feel more connected to the people around them. Seeking advice from loved ones instead of taking everything on themselves will help greatly when making decisions. Their friends and family will highly value the Rooster for their wise advice, and in turn, their loved ones will provide excellent support throughout the year.

For those taking on home renovation or other projects, if possible, try to share responsibilities with other household members to ease pressure and reduce the risk of burnout. A supportive year for Roosters who are wishing to relocate, whether that be to a new house in the same area or further afield.

Overall synopsis for the Rooster in 2026

Overall, the Rooster is poised for a great year, with numerous outstanding achievements, provided they are financially savvy and able to balance their time effectively across all areas of their lives.

How to enhance wealth, luck, business and career for the Rooster in 2026:

The most powerful and influential cure and enhancer in 2026 is called a Yurijujin Master cure and must only be used in a Yang Fire Horse (Bing Wu) year; this powerful amulet and protective talisman cure is placed to enhance the annual #9 wealth and career star, which is the prominent wealth star during period 9.

This cure is only known to a few specialist Feng Shui Grand Masters, and in the old days and even now in Asia, you would need to employ a specialist Feng Shui Grand Master to call at your home or business. They would come along with a specialist zhuanke (seal carver) who would spend many hours carving the secret engravings onto a specially selected plate for the year ahead, with a powerful Taoist inscription for the Bing Wu year, which would be carved on a reflective plate to spread the auspicious energy of the cure around the building. The seal carver (zhuanke) and Feng Shui Master were traditionally hired by emperors and the very wealthy and were seen as a symbol of great wealth and power; it took many years of studying to perfect this specialist art form.

This is a potent enhancer and said to create wealth, prevent its loss, and avoid bad luck in 2026 and permeate luck through the whole building.

This is one of the most influential and commanding cures and enhancers for wealth, health, relationships and protection, and because this cure is very important for wealth in 2026, we included it standard in all our 2026 cures and enhancers kits. If you follow this link, you will find full details 2026 flying star analysis follow this link.

How to enhance romance for the Rooster in 2026:

During period 9, we will be activating the annual #8 star for Peach Blossom luck, as the #4 star now carries an inauspicious influence and is very hard to activate correctly, often causing more trouble than good. The best way to activate the annual #8 star to promote wealth, relationship, love and manifestation luck is to place a Xingwang wish and romance enhancer in the east of your home and business throughout 2026 to ensure that the earth energy of this area is correctly activated and strong.

Romance, academic, relationship, finances and creative studies can be enhanced in the east palace (#8 star) and southeast (#9 star) of your home, click here for further details. While this #8 star is a very auspicious star, not placing the relevant cures and enhancers can lead to wanted and unwanted romantic opportunities to the household, especially if you have the main entrance or an important room like a master bedroom or living room.

You should also introduce some fire and earth colours to the east during 2026, such as red, orange, purple, burgundy, beige, yellow, terracotta and brown. You can introduce these colours with a doormat, rug, cushion cover, sofa throw, curtains or similar; it is very easy to do.

How can the Rooster avoid bad luck in 2026?

In 2026, the annual afflictions are concentrated into two compass sectors, making the north and south particularly troublesome If activated by renovations or repetitive activity. Please be sure to read the annual afflictions below, as this will help you avoid activating the inauspicious nature of these two areas.

If you are unsure about using traditional cures and enhancers in your home or office, at the very least, I would hang a set of six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon and also place a salt water cure in the south to control and weaken the annual #5 star this year.

For full details on 2026 flying star analysis follow this link. This is very important, especially if you have the main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the south, north, west, southwest or northeast in 2026.

This is just a small part of what you can do to ensure 2026 will be a good year, and to enhance it further, I would suggest checking out the monthly almanac, flying stars and animal predictions, as it not only recommends good and bad days to carry out specific tasks, it will also advise if it is suitable for your animal sign.

The Three Killings – north (337.5 – 22.5)

Please avoid noisy renovations in the north of your home or workplace whenever possible in 2026, as we have the Three Killings located here for the year, along with Sui Po. Try to avoid major digging, such as foundations, in this area this year. However, digging small holes for plants or fence posts will be acceptable.

If you have no option but to perform work in the north during 2026, I would strongly recommend placing a six-hollow rod metal wind chime while the work is being carried out and for a few days after. We take this very seriously at the Feng Shui Store, as we’ve witnessed some disturbing events over the past 45 years when this energy has been disrupted. We have included the Fuqi Baota Three-Tier Pagoda bell in both the Annual and Deluxe kits this year to help weaken the influence of the Three Killings and Sui Po.

If you have a door located in the north this year, please take care when opening and closing the door to ensure it is not slammed. Avoid the influence of the Three Killings by opening and closing the door calmly, or by installing a soft-close hinge.

Urgent repairs to your home or office in the north will need a cure to prevent any negative consequences. You can place a six-rod hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out, or ideally, contact a professional Feng Shui Consultant to select an auspicious date to start the work.

Annual #5 yellow Flying star – South Palace.

From the 4th of February 2026, the annual five yellow star will fly into the south of every home, office and building for the year. When activated by noise or frequent close traffic, this inauspicious influence can bring disaster, illness, lawsuits, and significant financial issues, making it a crucial area to remain calm during the year of the Horse. We also have Tai Sui located in the same palace as the annual #5 this year, and extra care and attention will be needed in this sector.

It is highly recommended that you keep the south of your home or office calm and settled as often as possible during 2026 to avoid activating this area and avoid any building work or noisy activities. To control and weaken the influence of the annual five star, place a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon, a six-rod hollow metal wind chime and a salt water cure in the south to avoid the problems that are associated with the #5 yellow disaster star.

A powerful and vital cure to place in the south of your home or office during 2026 is to place a set of six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon in your building to weaken and appease the annual #5 yellow star, which is why we have included it in all of our Annual Cures and enhancers kits this year.

Tai Sui (The Grand Duke of Jupiter) – south (172.5 – 187.5)

Like the Three Killings, Tai Sui should never be disturbed. The influence of Tai Sui can bring either positive or negative effects, depending on the annual Flying Stars that align with its location each year.

If your front door is located in the south during 2026, take care to avoid slamming or forcefully closing it, as this is one of the quickest ways to offend Tai Sui. Likewise, if your main bedroom or living area falls in the south sector, try to keep noise levels moderate — avoid playing music or television so loudly that everyday conversation becomes difficult.

The traditional way to appease Tai Sui during the Year of the Horse (2026) is to place a Wen Zhe Tai Sui Plaque in the south sector of your home or workplace for the entire year. This cure helps to honour and appease the Grand Duke, while also weakening the annual #5 Misfortune Star, which shares the same location in 2026.

By showing respect to the Grand Duke of Jupiter (Tai Sui), we can reduce obstacles, avoid misfortune, and invite greater harmony throughout the year.

Sui Po (Year Breaker) – north 352.5 – 7.5)

In 2026, Sui Po, the Year Breaker, will occupy the north sector of your home or workplace. This area directly opposes Tai Sui, and it is also home to the Three Killings, making it particularly sensitive to noise and disturbance throughout the year. Too much activity in the north can lead to challenges for those living or working there.

To help settle this energy, you can place your Fuqi Baota Three-Tier Pagoda Bell in the north and gently chime it whenever you walk past. This will help to calm the energy and maintain balance in this area.

Please try to avoid excessive noise, ground-breaking, or renovation in the north during 2026. When Sui Po is disturbed, it can lead to health concerns, particularly for elderly occupants, so please take extra care to keep this sector quiet and undisturbed throughout the year.

Please do not panic if the north or south of your home or workplace has a bedroom, office, living room or other regularly used room in one of these areas; start preparing to place your 2026 cures and enhancers kit as of the 4^{th of} February to ensure a trouble-free year and also cleanse any old cures that you will be reusing this year. To give you even better control, use our advanced Feng Shui period 9 software, as this provides a sophisticated analysis of every home or office facing any direction in any part of the world.
