Year of the Horse, Chinese ZodiacThe Horse Personality

Horses approach life with boundless energy and enthusiasm and are rarely bored for long.  They find it easy to make friends as they love to chat and share their experiences with others.  People born in the zodiac sign of the Horse are very independent creatures which can cause some inner turmoil.  On the one hand they love the company of others, yet are driven by their need for independence.

With a sharp mind and quick tongue, the Horse can be quite humorous and witty, but don’t be fooled by this confident and fearless exterior.  Underneath Horses are insecure and can have their ego’s shattered by criticisms and harsh opinions.  For a Horse to remain strong on the inside, they will need to learn to balance their need for approval with belief in their own abilities.

Horses love to have a good ‘stable’ environment to come home to, even if their instincts make them want to leave the nest at an early age. Their own home will be filled with sentimental items, rather than the greatest and latest items. At work they crave variety and a fast pace that will give their fast-thinking brain a run for its money. Horses have an entrepreneurial spirit, love to brain-storm but hate the follow through and all the little details.

Love changes everything for a Horse. They are affectionate, very romantic, loyal and will do almost anything for their lucky partner including moving house or changing jobs. However, they can sometimes appear hot and cold, as they shower affection one minute and demand their freedom the next. Horses fall in and out of love very quickly and will usually stay interested if there’s always a bit of drama or spice on the horizon.
