Xin Nian Kuai Le!
Today, January 31st, marks the beginning of The Year of the Horse.
As Chinese people settled across the globe celebrate the turn of the year, we’re taking a closer look at what The Year of the Horse means for you…
Those born in the Year of the Horse are considered to be energetic, and bright, intelligent and able. All that energy has to go somewhere though, so you’re sometimes perceived as a little too talkative.
You're a fan of the limelight, and no one could accuse you of being shy. You’re also a little stubborn.
When it comes to love, your best matches are a Goat, a Dog or a Tiger. You can enjoy happy relationships with a Dragon, Monkey, Rooster, Pig, Snake or fellow Horse too, but avoid the Rat, the Rabbit and the Ox, as such pairings are destined for disaster.
Those born in the Year of the Horse tend towards impatience and fiery tempers. Independent to a fault, you don’t tend to take any advice on board.
Money may be an area of concern for you, as you are prone to ignoring budgets and spending as you feel like it. You have the best of intentions when it comes to starting new projects, but many remain unfinished as you quickly lose interest.
Famous faces born in the Year of the Horse include Oprah Winfrey, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Denzel Washington, Cindy Crawford, Jerry Seinfeld and Paul McCartney.
Your lucky colours are brown, yellow and purple, while blue, white and gold are to be avoided. Your lucky numbers are 2, 3 and 7, while 1, 6 and 5 spell misfortune.
For you, this year is one in which you have the potential to offend “Taisui’, the god in charge of people’s fortune, so you can expect your fortunes to fluctuate.
What it means for the rest of us…
For those of us not born during the Year of the Horse, the lunar year ahead will bring health and wealth. This year is regarded as a great time to embark upon journeys, and expect good luck and fortune along the way.
