Which Chinese Zodiac Clash With Tai Sui In 2026?
At the end and beginning of each year, people always pay attention to the fortune trends for the coming year.

According to the traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle, 2026 is the Year of the Bingwu Horse, and the Year's Tai Sui is "General Wen Zhe." In 2026, the zodiac signs that will offend Tai Sui primarily involve four animal signs, with varying degrees of impact and manifestations, requiring targeted measures to resolve the negative influences.
