This year is set to be an exhilarating journey as we embrace the Year of the Horse, ignited by the vibrant energy of fire. It’s a time to charge ahead with courage and enthusiasm, pushing aside any tendencies toward passivity.
As we move into this dynamic year beginning on February 17th, we’ll witness a shift from caution to daring action, inspiring many to either exercise prudence or take bold leaps of faith.
Each year, GNN compiles insights from various prominent Chinese horoscope experts and Feng Shui masters to craft a horoscope that helps even those unfamiliar with this ancient tradition to find clarity.
Wondering if you are a horse? If you were born in 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, or 2014, you share this spirited sign! The last fiery horses were born in 1966, including icons like boxer Mike Tyson, martial artist Jackie Chan, director J.J. Abrams, Brazilian football great Romario, Crown Princess Kiko of Japan, acclaimed chef Gordon Ramsay, singer Sinead O’Connor, and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.
Remember, the year kicks off on the 17th, so if your birthday is before this date, you fall under the sign of the snake, not the horse.
According to Chinese astrology, every 12th year can bring a touch of misfortune, as the star of those born in that year comes closest to the deity Tai Sui. This proximity can stir up challenges, urging individuals born under the incoming sign to tread carefully and take fewer risks. For horses, this year may present unique difficulties tied to their innate characteristics. Horses are known for their confidence and agreeableness, yet they can also be a bit impatient and resistant to restrictions.
Astrologers forecast a year filled with highs and lows for horses, as fire—an essential element in Chinese astrology—symbolizes both instability and vibrant energy. There will be moments when the spirited nature of the horse and the fire element inspire bold initiatives, while other times will call for careful deliberation to balance the unpredictable forces at play. The very essence of the horse, sitting squarely in the fiery realm, amplifies both its strengths and weaknesses.
Those born under the sign of the rat may also encounter a whirlwind of challenges, as their star lies directly opposite Tai Sui, suggesting a less favorable position this year. Additionally, the compatibility between rats and horses isn’t ideal, so keeping a low profile in social situations can be wise.
On a brighter note, snakes, whose year has just concluded, are poised for a fantastic year, drawing warmth and positivity from the energetic horse. Tigers, on the other hand, will thrive if they align themselves with the horse, as it makes for one of their most favorable romantic pairings.
Several other signs, including the goat, dragon, and monkey, can look forward to a year brimming with good fortune and positive experiences.
So, as we gallop into this new year, let’s embrace the vibrant energy of the Horse and make the most of the opportunities and adventures that await us!
