Horoscopes: what’s your luck like in January 2026, Earth Ox month – before we head into Fire Horse year?
It’s going to be smooth sailing for the Dragon, Horse and Dog, but those under the Ox sign need to be careful while on the road
January 2026 marks the Ox month, from January 5 to February 3. The element of the month is Yin Earth. The Earth Ox, yi chou, represents the 12th and final month of the Chinese calendar.
Now is the time to reflect on the shared experiences of the past year to prepare for the year ahead – the third of the current 20-year feng shui cycle, which began in 2024. Be prepared for a period of major change ahead, acknowledge strengths and weaknesses, and learn from the past.
This Ox month is about business, making money and moving forward, while listening more and talking less. It brings balance and calm as we move from one year to another. It’s time for strategy and planning as we prepare for Lunar New Year – my favourite time of the year. Be bold and bullish!
Mythologically, the Ox was the messenger between Heaven and Earth, bringing dreams and strange images that prepare us for the year ahead while helping to process the one that has passed.
In Chinese culture, those born under the sign of the Ox (1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) are strong-willed and powerful.
