People born during the Year of the
Horse have a pleasant, amiable, easy going disposition which guarantees
popularity and a large following of friends. Blessed with good humor and
geniality, they are extremely comfortable to get along with for they have the
knack of instantly putting people at their ease.
Charming and cheerful, the
Horse is an extremely likable character. Hard working, self-possessed and
sharp, the Horse skillfully acquires power, wealth and respect. However, the
Horse's sometime-appreciated frankness can be tactless. The Horse's
impatient pursuit of success may become selfish and predatory. Horses can
be obstinate. In truth, they are more cunning than intelligent, and they
know it. This is why, despite that air of assurance, the Horse lacks confidence
in himself.
Above all, the Horse is cut out
to be in politics, a career which could bring great personal satisfaction
with the opportunity to grind his own axe. He could be a winner here, for
he has the facility to sway the crowd.
He is very quick-witted and he is
right in there with you before you have had the chance to finish what you were
saying; he's on to the thought in your mind even before you've expressed it.
This permits the Horse to forestall any arguments that anyone can dream up.
With the Horse, movement is
everything. Freedom and independence are as essential to Horse-born people
as the air they breathe. A low boredom threshold, both in terms of interests
and friendships, is characteristic of those belonging to this sign, and adds
a whimsical quality to the otherwise level headedness of these folk.
Consequently, they tend to act on impulse, and this means there is an element
of unpredictability about them. Sometimes they change their minds before completing
a project, giving others the impression of irresponsibility. This behavioral pattern
of stopping before completion may result from being born halfway through the twelve-sign cycle.
Like the symbol by which they
are represented, Horse-born people are high-spirited and lively. Their
vivacity and enthusiasm make them very popular. With a deft sense of
humor, Horses are masters of repartee. They love to take center stage and
delight audiences everywhere. Sometimes rash and willful, they can be prone
to rapid changes of mood and, although seldom really explosive of temper,
when they do see red, it is not a pretty sight. Those who have suffered
a Horse's rage will never feel quite the same about him again, for his
fits of temper are inevitably a bit childish. If he wants to succeed, he
has to master them. Rebelliousness is another difficult Horse trait. Because of
his carefree nature, the Horse needs plenty of room for self-expression or he can become
bitter and exhibit destructive behavior. Also, the Horse can become overtly jealous and offensive
if he senses that someone else is valued more or treated better. He reacts by
competing and promoting himself in order to win favor.
Resourceful, self-confident and mentally alert,
Horses are quick to catch on and efficient in all their undertakings. Because
of this ability, this dexterous and incisive mind of theirs, they can make
accurate judgments and sound decisions instaneously. They are particularly
skilled at handling money, very often in business dealings following their
hunches. When it comes to intuition they have a sixth sense that is quite
uncanny. Unfortunately, as the Horse is a creature of changing moods he's
liable to lose interest suddenly in things he's taken up, whether it's a
love affair, a single deal in business, or a whole career. He'll start
again with the same determination, and he'll enjoy an equal success. He can
make it in any career that demands neither solitude nor meditation, for he is
an extrovert and he needs to be surrounded by people who approve of him and
flatter him.
Due to their dislike of inactivity,
Horses get involved in many sorts of works outside their chosen trade.
Good with their hands and attracted to art, they are skillful craftsmen
with a talent for innovation.
The first and second part of
the Horse's life will be full of ups and downs. He will leave his home
and family while he is still young, and this will bring its own disappointments.
His love life will be by no means smooth. But the third phase of the Horse's
life will be a peaceful one.
Also, it is better for the Horse if he is born in winter.
Otherwise he may become overworked, and work is not his strong point.
About the Fire Horse
The six decades spanning the
gaps between the years of the Fire Horse mean that this rare sign occurs only
in the years 1846, 1906, 1966, 2026, etc. These years are bad for Horses
themselves and bad for families who have a Horse in the house. This is because
the Fire Horse's influence can change from beneficial to malignant, and during
these years all Horse families will become subject to illness, accidents and
bad luck in general.
Men and women actually born in
the year of the Fire Horse will have the same characteristics as the ordinary
Horse -- but they will be more accentuated, in the good qualities as well as
in the bad. The Fire Horse will thus be a harder worker, a more cunning
individual, more independent, more gifted ... and alas, far more selfish. His
passionate nature and the frantic egotism which seizes him will lead him to
commit his worst excesses when he is in love.
There are those who say that the
Fire Horse can be a good influence in the heart of his own family. But popular
belief asserts that he will make trouble in the home he was born in just as he
does in the one he himself has built.
What we do know is that the Fire
Horse will have a career that is more varied, more exceptional, more interesting
than that of the ordinary Horse. The Fire Horse carries within himself the
seeds of fame ... or of notoriety!The Horse in Love
When they fall in love, Horses
seem to lose all logic, all sense of perspective. Unpredictable at the best
of times, when they lose their hearts, there is simply no telling what the
Horse-born will do next. These people possess an extremely low boredom
threshold and soon get tired of the same people and the same situations.
They love their independence and, as soon as they feel a partner is making
too many demands or limiting their freedom, they will rebel and gallop off in
search of new pastures. Noncomformists, free thinkers, thirsting for
life, Horses risk daring romantic adventures. The idea of being married
several times does not disturb them, and they adore children. Age eventually
mellows the Horse, and those born under its influence who have not found
stability when younger are likely to settle down in later life.
Conspirators together, the
Horse can make his life with the Ram.
He also lives in harmony with the Tiger
and Dog. These two, intent on the
solution of their own psychological problems, will pay no attention to the
romantic instability of the Horse. He also has a good relationship with the
Rooster,
Monkey, and
Boar. Under no circumstances must the
Horse marry a Rat, in particular if the
Horse is female and born under the rare sign of the Fire Horse (1906, 1966,
etc.). Any liaison between these two passionate natures can only result in
sparks which must lead to conflagration.
July is the month of the Horse.
The time of the Horse is from 11:00 a.m. to 12:59 p.m.; their direction of
orientation is the south. The Horse's color is orange.
