Chinese zodiac: Horse

  • Free-spirited
  • Energetic
  • Cheerful
  • Sociable
  • Independent
  • Impatient

In Chinese culture the Horse is the symbol of speed, endurance and freedom; as an animal that covers long distances and keeps moving forward, it is associated with effort. People born in the Year of the Horse are energetic, talkative and always on the move; they love the outdoors, travel and spending time with people. They cherish their independence and cannot stand being restricted.

Starting things with excitement and then abandoning them halfway once interest fades is this sign's most noticeable challenge. Speaking without thinking and impatience can cause friction in relationships. They are honest and generous, do not hold grudges and make up quickly. When they have a goal and a flexible way of working, they become very productive.

Love and relationships

In love the Horse is enthusiastic, fun and independent. It experiences the first rush of romance intensely and seeks freedom and adventure in a relationship. With an overly possessive partner it feels trapped. Its sincerity and honesty make it well loved by those around it. It is traditionally compatible with the Tiger, Dog and Goat; with the Rat, core expectations clash.

Career

The Horse succeeds in active fields such as sales, marketing, sports, journalism, travel and event organization. Staying in a routine desk job for long is hard for it. It learns quickly and energizes its team. Being patient, finishing what it starts and paying attention to detail support its career growth.
