The Year of the Horse

The Horse gleefully gallops into his year, promising his reign to be one of reckless, carefree and romantic abandon. We all gain self-confidence and bravado, and will find ourselves doing the mad, adventurous things we always dreamed of doing, happily finding that the risks we take to be more rewarding than we imagined. The fast pace of the year is one where industry and economics will advance, and entrepreneurs will shine most brightly.

THE FIVE TYPES OF Horses

The Metal Horse : 1930, 1990

“The Plucky Horse”
Bold and unruly, this impetuous filly is more stubborn and self-centered than her fellow horses, with nothing as important as her independence and liberty. Constrain her in any way, and she’ll resent you and then suddenly take off when you least expect it. Forget responsibilities, she’s off to seek new adventures and challenges – for that was what she was born to do.

The Water Horse: 1942, 2002

“The Restless Horse”
With eternally itchy feet, this dapper horse cannot sit still, constantly engaging herself with new activities and projects. Her wicked sense of humor and ability to talk to people from all walks of life, on any subject imaginable, makes her a delight to have around. She welcomes any change with relish, as she herself changes her mind and direction about fifty times a day. A total sports and travel enthusiast, this amusing horse’s life is bound to be filled with many friends and parties, provided she strive to be considerate to others’ feelings.

The Wood Horse: 1894, 1954

“The Disciplined Horse”
More reasonable, systematic and conscientious than other Horses, this friendly chap will work hard, and be very active and popular in social affairs as he has the gift of gab. Though cooperative, he still resists being dominated and can often vie for an unconventional lifestyle. He has a vivid imagination and a distaste for sentimentality, often seeking out new ideas to add spice to his life.

The Fire Horse: 1906, 1966

“ The Magnetic Horse”
This hot-blooded, thrill-seeking horse is a literal fire ball. Destiny has tapped him to lead an extraordinary life, where he can wield power through the sheer force of his character. Flamboyant, witty and resourceful, this hot-blooded horse is most effective when doing a million things at once, and watch as he pulls it off with captivating flair. He cannot live without variety, action and zest in his life, and will be most contented living a double or even triple life (and innocently find nothing sinister about it), or having several hobbies and professions.

The Earth Horse: 1918, 1978

“The Cautious Horse”
It is a rare thing to find a horse who can settle down, but the Earth Horse will prove the punters wrong and even learn to cooperate with authority when necessary. This congenial chap is less decisive though, hedging his bets and considering all sides before acting. Still, he possesses the business acumen of the Horse, and can bring about a new lease of life to any sagging venture.

Prospects for the Horse in different years

Lucky years for Horse are the years of the Rabbit, the Horse, the Monkey and Dog.

Happy events, prosperity and achievements are in the spotlight, and the recognition of these will bring him much joy.

The years of the Dragon, the Goat, the Rooster, the Tiger and the Ox are fairly mixed – smooth in some ways, seemingly difficult in others. Nevertheless, obstacles presented during these times are never as bad as they seem, and will blow over quicker than the Horse predicts.

Trying times come in the years of the Rat, the Snake, and the Pig. Misfortunes and complications to his plans are likely, and any major decisions in business or love, should be left for now. These are years where the Horse must be cautious and persevering.

Compatibilities with other signs

Friends
The Horse’s best friend (and partner in crime) is the similarly adventurous Tiger, and he delights in the company of the likeable Dog, the artistic Goat and the colorful Rooster. Regular guests to his unconventional dinner parties at the corral, are the tasteful Rabbit, the lively Dragon, the alluring Snake and the entertaining Pig.

Foes
The Ox’s serious ways annoy the Horse, who cannot understand how anyone could be that boring when life is such a thrilling roller coaster ride. The Monkey’s cunning ways and the Rat’s love for security don’t mesh either with the Horse’s strong sense of honesty and independence.
