What does the Year of the Horse mean for you?

Today, a day after the New Moon in the sign of Aquarius, we enter the Year of the Horse. No matter which of the 12 Chinese year signs your birthday falls under, the energies of this Horse year will have its effect on you. The chart below shows the dates for those born in a Horse Year. (As the Chinese year starts each year on the day after the New Moon in the sign of Aquarius, it is important to check the precise dates).
In Chinese tradition, the horse is a heroic figure as it carried them to success in war over the centuries. In our own language we say ‘horse power’ when we speak of speed and strength, and it has been our helpful companion in tilling the fields, carrying loads and helping us travel great distances. The Year of the Horse is seen as bringing good fortune to those who are willing to take a chance and work hard at achieving a goal. However, there is a great difference between a stallion and a draught horse. So there is the possibility of upheavals in the stock markets and people in high places might find themselves taking a tumble!
