This is the Fire Horse year in the 60 year cycle of Chinese astrology.

There is a superstition in Japan about birth in such a year. In 1966 there was a 25% drop in the number of births.

It will be interesting to see whether there is any effect in 2026.

What?

Me too.
I’m not sure reading it correctly helps much though.
