The horse is one of the Chinese people's favourite animals.

The horse provided a good and quick transportation for people, before automobiles. The horse gives people a ride to their destination. Therefore, the horse is not only a symbol of travelling, but also a sign of speedy success. 

Horses like to compete with others. They pursuit for their freedom, passion and leadership. Therefore, most people will have busy schedule for their goal in the year of the Horse. Horse hour of Chinese Horoscopes is from 11a.m. to 1p.m. The sun is up time, and can generate lots of heat during Horse hour. Therefore the horse is connected to heat, hot, fire and red, and yang rising energy. Movement and development. Horses like the social activities, because horses like to show off themselves. Since the horse is a social animal and red is also connected to love, we find that the horse is treated as a romantic star in the Chinese Horoscope, and of the heart. The emotion given to the heart is joy an laughter.

The Chinese wouldn't let horses do the farm to work. Instead all the farmland jobs went to the ox. This is because the Chinese, it is said, have higher expectation on horses. Horses can help humans to win the battle. Sitting on the horse back implies that the person is from a noble or higher ranking family. So people born in the Horse year usually care about their appearance and dress, their outlook, and speech.

The horse we know is an intelligent animal. Horses need to be trained to become useful to the human. Humans can make a horse famous. Without this guide, the horse is a beautiful wild animal.

In Chinese Five Element theory, the horse is in the Fire group. Horse month is in the middle of summer in June. So the Horse is the strongest Fire animal in 12 zodiacs. 2014 is the year of the Wooden Horse. Wood can help Fire to burn. So the Fire can last longer. The creative cycle, on this year's cycle..

Within the realm of personalities, when the Horse meets the Tiger and the Dog, then they will form an even stronger Fire. Too much Fire implies a hot temper, and no patience.. So, if the element , as in the energetic, of fire is favourable to the person, then that person should have good fortune in 2014. However, if fire is unfavourable to the person, then 2014 will bring trouble to the person in different forms.. The message from that: keep cool and calm . Keep sure:
