History

A Fire Horse year happens every sixty years when the Horse zodiac sign aligns with the fire element, most recently in 1966 and before that in 1906. This combination has long been viewed with fascination across East Asia, particularly in Japan, where it was believed that women born under the Fire Horse year would possess strong, independent qualities.
