Chinese Horoscopes - The Horse
By: Lovegevity
The Horse
Exciting and
extroverted, vivid and animated, the Horse is the life of any party he
attends. He is bursting with energy, always looking for the next place to
kick up his heels and hang loose. He entertains friends and strangers
alike with his humor and appeal.
Years
of the Horse
Horse Years are seventh in the cycle, following the
Snake Years, and recur every twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not
fall on a specific date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find
the exact date on which each Horse Year actually begins.
1906*1918*1930*1942*1954*1966*1978*1990*2002
THE SIGN OF THE HORSE
Horse people are
extemporaneous and quick-witted. They are quite intelligent and use their
practicality to their advantage in their business and personal lives.
Their sharpness makes them quick to pick up new skills and are able to
handle many tasks at one time. However, this ambition can be harmful
because Horse people often don’t finish what they start for fear of
missing out on the next big challenge.
Horses are
trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. They are good friends to have and
will always be honest with you. Although they are good confidants, Horse
people do enjoy their alone time and are usually independent people. They
can struggle with obstinance and self-centeredness, which can lead to a
flare of the temper if they don’t get their way. Usually, after an episode
or temper-tantrum a Horse can feel remorse, yet not all people will be
able to forgive their reaction.

IN YOUR ELEMENT
The characteristics
of the Horse are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal,
Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics
on the original 12-year cycle.
THE METAL HORSE 1930 AND 1990
The Metal Horse loves
to roam. He is self-sufficient and treasures his freedom and liberation.
Any type of committed situation is sure to send this Horse running for the
hills, so a stable relationship is certainly not his idea of a priority.
Horses change jobs and partners frequently because of their need for
adventure and their desire to tap into the unknown. This vigor and untamed
spirit draws people to the Horse. The Metal Horse will make a better
friend than partner because a friendship doesn’t tie him down the way a
relationship does.
THE WATER HORSE 1942 AND 2002
Water Horses are quite
adaptable. They make the best out of their situations, yet are the most
indecisive of the elemental horses. Like the element that characterizes
it, the Water Horse moves in many different directions, depending on the
flow of the situation and can therefore change his mind several times a
day. This can cause confusion with colleagues and partners alike, but most
people chalk it up to the Horse’s adaptable nature and his ability to go
with the flow of things. However frustrating it can be, the Water Horse
will always cheer you up and be able to get a smile back on your face
before you even knew he had upset you.
THE WOOD HORSE 1954 AND 2014
Like other Animal
Signs, wood gives this Horse stability and strength. These Horses don’t
have such a hard time making decisions that other Horses do. Their ability
to stick to their guns makes them a bit more predictable than other
Horses. They are better equipped to maintain a disciplined approach to
their lives and the lives of those they are associated with. They have no
problem working with other people and to a point, Wood Horses will stick
to their scheduled tasks more readily than other Animal Signs, or even
other elemental Horse signs. Because of their ability to easily adapt and
work with other people they are successful in their professional and
personal lives. Still, don’t try to tell a Wood Horse what to do unless
you are his superior. Otherwise, he will simply gawk at your attempt to
boss him around.
THE FIRE HORSE 1906 AND 1966
The Fire Horse is
animated and sociable. He has a wild side that leads him to a life on the
edge. Fire Horses are generally either incredibly lucky or ridiculously
unlucky. They love the excitement of action and the change it brings. The
Fire element makes them passionate about their feelings and they always
take a stand in a situation. Fire Horses are never on the fence about
anything and have definitive opinions about the world. Their tempers can
be overbearing
THE EARTH HORSE 1918 AND 1978
Earth Horses are able
to see situations from all angles and corners. They are relatively
easygoing, preferring to determine each pro and con before making a final
decision. Earth Horses work hard to accomplish goals they have set and
would rather take longer to do an outstanding job than to work shorter and
shave a little quality. They have great senses of humor and are extremely
adaptable in most instances.
HEALTH AND HABITAT
HEALTH
When concerning health
issues, Horses exuberate a strength known only by the animal they are
shaped after. Horse people are usually quite healthy people, perhaps due
to their positivity, perhaps due to their athleticism. They get a lot of
exercise and love to be out in the air and open spaces. If they can’t be
outside hey begin to feel run down and out of their element. Horses must
be careful to resist the pressures of alcohol and nicotine that often suck
them in in times of despair or stress.
AT HOME WITH THE
HORSE
Horses love company
and therefore will always welcome visitors in for a hearty chat or a
wholesome meal. As aforementioned, Horses don’t always finish what they
start, especially if something more exciting came along, so there are
likely to be various unfinished projects in their homes. In addition,
there may be a few dirty dishes in the sink or a couple of unwashed loads
of laundry, as housework and chores aren’t the Horse’s forte. They fill
their homes with autumn colors such as gold and orange and create an
atmosphere that is both comfortable and beautiful.
CAREER AND FINANCE
THE HORSE AT
WORK
Their willingness to
try anything and their ability to pick up new skills with ease makes
Horses suitable for most any careers they choose to tackle. However, they
may reconsider if taking orders or following strict routines are involved.
They are people persons and enjoy occupations that allow them to interact
with other people. Their need to be independent and self-reliant makes
them crave positions of power and they are well-suited for careers in the
field of communications. Horses are smart, fabulous speakers who have a
gift for getting through to other people.
MONEY AND THE
HORSE
Horses don’t think
much about money. When they have it, they spend it. When they run out,
they make more. Money does not constitute a Horse’s happiness or
well-being. He feels it is only icing on the cake to have some and would
rather buy fun things than hoard it or save it. His philosophy? You can’t
take it with you.

HORSE PARENTS
AND BABIES
Horses are notorious
for their ability to do several things at one time. They can carry on a
conversation, watch the news, fold the laundry and watch the kids, all at
once. These abilities certainly come in handy when raising a child. Horse
parents work very hard to make sure their children are intellectually and
creatively stimulated and to make sure they depend only on themselves when
problem-solving or figuring something out. They feel strongly that
children should be independent and should be taught basic principles that
will enable them to depend more on themselves than on anyone else. If
Horse parents are not careful, this very tenet may case them to appear
cool, unsentimental parents concerned more with helping themselves than
with helping their children.
HORSE INFANT AND CHILD
Horse children are
chatty! At an early age these kids begin gurgling and "talking" to
themselves. They love to hear their own voice and so will babble for hours
without saying anything at all. Eventually, these children will make great
language scholars who will excel at communications. Horse children are as
independent as possible and will fight for their rights if they feel
they’ve been wronged. They will also rebel if they feel justice has not
been served.

LOVERS AND SPOUSES
THE HORSE
LOVER
Horse lovers are
eternally young at heart. They sail through life on a whim, spontaneous
and open-minded waiting for the next big adventure. Horse lovers are
charming and affectionate. They are inspiring with their imagination and
vigor, their intellect and wit. They make you want to be around them and
thus hardly have problems securing Saturday night dates.
MARRIAGE
Horses are energetic
spouses who fall in love quite rapidly. Along with their spontaneity comes
a bit of impatience and they demonstrate that when they meet someone they
want to be involved with. They throw all of themselves into a
relationship, sometimes losing tiny bits and pieces of themselves along
the way. However, a light at the end of the tunnel: in adulthood Horses
are more stable and thus their adult relationships are more
successful.
THE HORSE LOVE PARTNER
Horses live their
lives in full swing. They have boundless energy and spend more time on the
go than they do at home. Chinese horoscopes are very specific about which
partnerships have the potential to be successful in love and in business.
Yet, though destiny can point us in the right direction, we must still
make all efforts to maintain loving relationships. Following is a brief
description of how a Horse will affect a relationship with other Animal
