The Horse’s Personality: Active, Energetic…

People born in a year of the Horse are extremely animated, active and energetic. Horses love to be in a crowd, and they can usually be seen on such occasions as concerts, theatre performances, meetings, sporting events, and parties.

With a deft sense of humour, Horses are masters of repartee. They love to take centre stage and delight audiences everywhere.

Sometimes, the Horse is a little self-centred, but it doesn’t mean that she/he isn’t interested in others’ problems. Horses are really more cunning than intelligent, and that is probably why most Horse people lack real confidence.

Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold, and Water Horses

In Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of the five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. A Wood Horse, for example, comes once in a 60-year cycle.

Love Compatibility of the Horse with Other Animals

Each animal sign has its unique characteristics. Love compatibility within the Chinese zodiac animals takes the characteristics of each animal into account. Only those whose characteristics match each other can be good partners.

Good Health for Horses
