The Wood Horse year is considered a time for fast victories, unexpected adventure and surprising romance. Energy is high and production is rewarded.

Year of the Horse Facts:
In Chinese astrology, the Horse year is considered a fortunate year that brings luck and good things. The Horse is a hero in China because important battles were won due to its power and strength.
Horses have a carefree nature and need ample room for self expression. When constrained by rules, a proud Horse will rebel, refusing to be corralled or tamed. Horses will tell you exactly what is on their mind; they are frank and dislike hidden agendas. Celebrities born in the Year of the Horse include Aretha Franklin, Jackie Chan, Harrison Ford, Cindy Crawford and Jerry Seinfeld.
You have a chance at wild good fortune and sudden gain in the Horse year. But odds are much better if your birth year, birth month, birth day, or birth hour is Horse, Tiger, Dog, or Sheep. If these animals signs are not in your Four Pillars chart, then perhaps step aside and take a front-row seat to the Horse race. It will be all or nothing as life events move fast then are gone in a gallop!
