A high-spirited, hectic and adventurous year. An exhilarating time of reckless and impulsive action and risk taking. This year people are confident, carefree, whimsical, capricious, and romantic and everything proceeds at an energetic if not frenzied pace. Things are done on the spur of the moment. Although charged and exciting, energies are also taxed and nerves frayed by the ceaseless momentum and unpredictable shifts in the wind. Good humor and optimism, however, prevail. Old boundaries are broken, and the world's economy could experience a boom period. This is an excellent time to launch new ventures and boldly go where you have never gone before.

Those born in the Year of the Horse are energetic, unpredictable, independent, athletic, and warmly appealing. They exude a raw animal sex appeal rather than classical good looks. Impetuous and self-reliant, they are by nature restless adventurers and seem to be always on the move. Open-minded and flexible, they can appraise a situation astutely and are expert manipulators, skillful in business as well as in love and adept at handling money. They are extremely self-centered and cave have volatile tempers; although they may forget their own explosive outbursts, others do not, f or which Horses can lose respect and credibility. They can be particularly petty, petulant and inconsiderate in satisfying their own caprices and can be forgetful and absent-minded.

Horses love action and fanfare. Although they lack both stability and perseverance, they are quick-witted and quick to act, agile in both mind and body, as such are masters of improvisation and can juggle several acts at once while holding their own in all of them. Resentful of any limitations imposed on their freedom and nonconformists at heart, Horses will keep odd and scattered hours. When inspired, they can work for days without sleeping. They often find it hard to calm down and the more agitated types may suffer from bouts of insomnia.

Horses cannot stand any kind of restraint and this includes their emotions. They need to express themselves, and if forced or obliged to exercise self-inhibition will openly rebel.
