(Formerly) Prince Andrew: Another Fire Horse Casualty

It’s quite fascinating to notice that last year, whenever a person made headlines due to negative news, their BaZi Chart would involve Pig or Snake, in some form or another. Now that we have entered the Horse year, we can already see a change in the dynamic, and most public figures who end up in trouble have something to do with Rat and Horse.

Prince Andrew is the latest “victim” of the Horse vs Rat clash, and it’s a rather nasty one.

The Final Reckoning: Why 2026 is the Year the “Royal Moat” Collapses for Prince Andrew

In the world of forensic BaZi, certain years don’t just bring “bad luck”; they bring structural failure. For Prince Andrew, the 2026 Yang Fire Horse (丙午) year represents a “Perfect Storm” where the celestial architecture of his life finally buckles under the weight of a Fan Yin (Total Clash).

Here is the breakdown of why the cosmic “safety net” just failed.

The Fan Yin: A Direct Hit to the Reputation

Prince Andrew was born in the year of the Yang Metal Rat (庚子). The 2026 Yang Fire Horse (丙午) year acts as a “Total Pillar Clash” against his birth year.

• The Stem: The Yang Fire “melts” his Yang Metal (his external armor and social standing).
• The Branch: The Horse (Fire) and the Rat (Water) are the most volatile pair in the zodiac.

Since the birth year represents the “Ancestry” and the “Social Moat,” this Fan Yin signals the moment the Royal Family (his ancestors) and the Public (his social standing) move from “tension” to “total severance.” The armor is gone.

The Broken Bridge: Why His “Peers” Can’t Save Him

Technically, 2026 should have offered a lifeline. The Horse of the year wants to combine with the Tiger in his birth month. This is a “Harmony” combination that should create a massive surge of Fire, representing Support, Peers, and Family backing.

However, in the Chart hierarchy, the Rat (Authority) in his year pillar is the “boss.” The Rat strikes the Horse with such violence that it “breaks” the combination before it can form.

• The Result: His inner circle (Tiger) and potential allies (Horse) might want to help, but the “Higher Power” of the Institution (the Rat) forbids it. The “Peers” are rendered paralyzed; they cannot reach across the clash to pull him from the wreckage.

The “Harm” to the Inner Sanctuary (The Ox)

While the world watches the public clash, a quieter, more painful interaction is happening at his “Home” level. The 2026 Horse creates a Six Harm with his Day Branch Ox (丑).

In BaZi, the Day Branch is the “Spouse Palace” and the “Sanctum.” A Harm interaction typically manifests as betrayal, emotional “letting down,” or the feeling of being discarded by those you trusted most. As King Charles III effectively withdraws the “Royal Moat” with a business-first statement, the Ox-Horse Harm captures Andrew’s personal isolation. His foundations are not just under attack; they are being “eroded” from within the family unit itself.

The “Power” Component: The Monarch’s Cold Logic

A strong Power Component drives Andrew’s Chart. This is the “Warrior” talent, the energy of the Law, the Institution, and Rules.

For decades, this Power worked for him as a Prince. But as he transitions into a new 10-year Luck Pillar (Yin Wood Rooster), the “Power” has turned into a “Control” Element. When the King states, “The law must take its course,” we are seeing the Rat (Institutional Authority) finally prioritize its own survival over the Body (Andrew’s weak Yin Fire).

The Verdict

The 2026 Fire Horse is a “Heat Test” that a weak Fire Chart cannot pass. By “cutting him loose,” the Monarchy is performing a calculated amputation to save the body politic. For Andrew, the failed combination with the Tiger confirms the ultimate tragedy of his BaZi: In the moment he needed his “Tribe” most, the “Institution” made it impossible for them to stand by him.
