Si hay un tema común que surge de los muchos rituales del Año Nuevo Lunar asociados a la celebración anual, desde la comida que comemos hasta las actividades a las que nos unimos, es la esperanza colectiva de que estemos marcando el comienzo de la suerte, la prosperidad y las buenas vibraciones para nosotros y todos los que nos rodean.

Este año, el mundo celebra el Año del Caballo el 17 de febrero, el primer día del Año Nuevo Lunar de 2026. Esto significa que muchas personas ahora buscan en las estrellas pistas sobre lo que les espera en los próximos meses.

No te preocupes si no tienes un geómano personal en tu teléfono: hemos hecho el trabajo cósmico por ti, reuniendo la guía de fortuna del horóscopo chino de este año con la ayuda de un maestro experimentado.

Primero, comencemos con lo básico. El ciclo de 12 años del calendario zodiacal chino está representado por 12 animales diferentes, en este orden: Rata, Buey, Tigre, Conejo, Dragón, Serpiente, Caballo, Cabra, Mono, Gallo, Perro y Cerdo.

Tu animal del zodiaco se determina según tu año de nacimiento, lo que significa que quienes nacieron a partir del primer día del calendario lunar de 2026 serán del signo del Caballo. (Consulta las ilustraciones a continuación para saber qué animal representa tu año de nacimiento).

Pero eso es solo el principio. Para los fieles seguidores del sistema, un año no solo se clasifica por su animal, sino que también existe un complejo ciclo sexagenario compuesto por diez troncos celestiales y doce ramas terrenales.

Es complicado, pero aquí tienes una explicación simplificada. Cada año, un tronco celestial (uno de los cinco elementos, que pertenecen a la categoría del Yin y el Yang) se empareja con una rama terrenal (uno de los 12 animales del zodíaco chino).

Este año, el tallo celestial es “Bing” (el gran Sol) y la rama terrenal es “Wu” (el Caballo), lo que lo convierte en el Año del Caballo de Fuego.

¿Qué significa eso exactamente? Para profundizar en el año que viene, nos reunimos con Thierry Chow, consultora de feng shui con sede en Hong Kong que combina la geomancia tradicional china con elementos modernos.

Bing representa el gran Sol, y el Caballo, como animal del zodíaco, también es un signo de fuego. Así que este probablemente sea uno de los años más fogosos que tendrás, dijo Chow.

Las industrias asociadas con el fuego dominarán, desde la tecnología hasta cualquier actividad que genere energía y fuego. El arte, la moda y la cocina también dependen en gran medida del fuego. Se espera que estos sectores reciban más atención.

Chow dijo que la influencia del fuego afectará tanto el clima como el temperamento de las personas, por lo que el mundo debería estar atento a más desastres relacionados con el calor este año, así como a mayores tensiones en relaciones que ya están tensas.

Pero para quienes sí necesitan fuego, este puede ser un año muy bueno. Generalmente, quienes nacen en otoño e invierno se benefician de tener más fuego en sus elementos, añade.

En el feng shui, la carta astral de cada persona se compone de diferentes elementos: metal, madera, agua, fuego y tierra. El arte del feng shui y la adivinación china suelen centrarse en equilibrar estos elementos en nuestro cuerpo y en la naturaleza.

“No existe el bien ni el mal absolutos”, comentó Chow. “Una lección que extraigo de la filosofía confuciana es que puedes traer a tu vida lo que te falta mediante la consciencia y el esfuerzo”.

Cuando se trata de la suerte individual, los seguidores del zodíaco chino creen que la fortuna de su animal depende de las posiciones de las deidades estelares, conocidas colectivamente como Tai Sui, que giran paralelas y en dirección opuesta a Júpiter en el cielo.

También conocido como el Gran Duque de Júpiter, Tai Sui está compuesto por 60 deidades celestiales, cada una de las cual

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - The arrival of a significant winter storm drenched the Central Coast Monday morning with heavy rainfall, including San Luis Obispo County.

"We've seen a lot of heavy rain activity," said Scotty Jalbert, San Luis Obispo County Emergency Services Director. "This morning started very early by, I believe the 9 a.m. we saw up to at least one inch in North County, which is a good amount of rain for us."

As of early Monday afternoon, San Luis Obispo County was wet, but according to Jalbert, had avoided any severe impacts from the storm.

"Fortunately, we've not had any significant issues with that heavy rainfall," said Jalbert. "But that just is going to lead into other things for the rest of the week."

With rainfall expected to last for the next few days, Jalbert indicated the county is keeping a close eye on a handful of troublespot locations, including Arroyo Grande Creek, Avila Drive and the Salinas River.

"We're in a monitoring stage," said Jalbert. "We have a heightened alert due to the weather, especially with the thunderstorm activities that we're expecting. We will be monitoring throughout the day and throughout the night, especially in this next series of storms that start tomorrow. With that, the grounds being saturated we can expect a little more problems with maybe localized flooding, trees coming down with power lines and so forth."

(CNN) — A “ring of fire” solar eclipse on Tuesday will mark the first eclipse of 2026, but only about 2% of the world’s population will get to see it, according to Time and Date.

The event, also called an annular solar eclipse, occurs “when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, but the moon is too far away in its orbit to completely cover the sun’s disk,” Dr. C. Alex Young, associate director for science communication in the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in an email.

This results in a glowing ring of sunlight surrounding the moon’s dark silhouette, he explained, giving it the name “ring of fire.” If the moon completely covers the sun, it becomes a total eclipse. A partial solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, but the sun, moon, and Earth are not perfectly lined up, according to NASA.

The best view of the ring of fire will be from a sliver of Antarctica, with a partial eclipse visible from the rest of the icy continent, as well as parts of Africa and South America.

Annular solar eclipses happen every one to two years, however many are not visible from most parts of the world. There will be another annular eclipse on February 6, 2027, according to NASA, and it will be visible to larger swaths of South America and Africa. As for those in the United States, the next opportunity to see an annular eclipse will be in 2039, according to Young.

Eclipses come in pairs and occasionally trios. Astronomers call these groups of events eclipse seasons, Young noted, adding that “a solar eclipse is always accompanied by a lunar eclipse about two weeks before or after.” This annular eclipse marks the first eclipse of the season with a total lunar eclipse following on March 3.

The upcoming annular solar eclipse will be the first since 2024. During the event, the moon’s shadow will carve a path 383 miles (616 kilometers) wide and 2,661 miles (4,282 kilometers) long across Earth, according to EarthSky.

Because the slim ring of fire only passes over Antarctica, many people will need to rely on livestream footage to view it. “It’s all a matter of geometry,” Young said. “You have to be in exactly the right spot along the narrow path of annularity to see it, which makes witnessing an eclipse like this so rare.”

The annular eclipse will be most dramatic at Concordia Station, Antarctica, beginning at 6:48 p.m. local time (6:42 a.m. ET) and peaking at 7:47 p.m. local time (7:12 a.m. ET), according to Time and Date. The event will last around two hours.

A partial eclipse will be visible across South Africa, South America and Antarctica, according to Time and Date.

Argentina and Chile will be able to see the partial eclipse starting around 7 a.m. local time (5 a.m. ET). Across southern Africa, sky-gazers can expect to see the partial eclipse in early to midafternoon.

To check when the eclipse will be visible from different locations along its path, see Time and Date’s website.

What to look for and how to safely watch

If you do witness the annular solar eclipse, you’ll first notice the moon slowly moving across the sun, creating a partial eclipse. As the coverage increases to about 80%, shadows on the ground begin to
