The Fire Horse year occurs once every sixty years, when the Horse zodiac coincides with the fire element in the Chinese astrological calendar. The most recent Fire Horse year was 1966, with the previous one in 1906. This rare combination has long been viewed with a mix of fascination and superstition, especially in Japan, where cultural traditions once held that women born in Fire Horse years would be notably strong-willed and independent.
