Chinese zodiac

According to the website I amThe Wood HorseThe Wood Horse, male or female, distinguishes himself from his astrological brothers and sisters mostly by his great vulnerability to emotionalism and depression. Very often he has to hide his temperamental instability under the cover of irony, causticity, and cynicism which, of course, are not an inescapable component of his character. If he is not to be bogged down, he will have to strive all his life for an adequate degree of self-mastery. The task will be all the more difficult as he is likely to suffer from many trials and reversals despite his deep love for life and keen interest in the business of living. The Horse of this combination is graced with much more talents than the average of mortals. Possessed of an extremely keen intelligence, he understands very quickly and has the ability to take the right decisions at the right moment. However, every time he is confronted with something new, he cannot fail to feel somewhat skeptical of his own worth and displays some hesitation; but this never impairs his precision, efficiency, and organizational wizardry. His most important weakness lies in his relative lack of patience and concentration. A project involving long periods of time and sustained efforts may not come off so well as could be expected of such a brilliant individual. As a writer, for instance, he had better think to produce short stories or essays instead of tackling sagas. Despite his outraging egoism, this Horse can prove a likeable and benevolent person when he wants to. But he is not inclined to sentimentality and demonstrativeness, considering them a sign of weakness. Self-expression under all forms comes hard to him.However, every other calculation made tells me I am The Fire HorseMost authors delight in giving the Fire Horse an oversized treatment, thereby implying wittingly or unwittingly that he (or she) is the most important or noteworthy figure in Chinese astrology. In fact, this Horse is only one of the sixty main astrological combinations and should be viewed as such. This does not mean, however, that the native holds no specific interest. No one could remain indifferent to reports of thousands upon thousands of abortions in Japan alone during 1966, a year of the Fire Horse. (There is only one Fire-Horse year every 60 years.) Japanese prospective parents were so much afraid of begetting Fire Horses that they preferred nipping them in the bud even though their action was illegal. The same might have been true in other Asian countries. Why is the Horse of this combination held in so much contempt and awe? Because, it is believed, he (or she) cannot fail to bring misfortune and drama to his own family. His exacerbated individualism, monstrous egoism, and utter disdain for the virtue of family loyalty and tradition tend to substantiate such a belief. In any case, all the qualities and defects inherent to the sign are brought to an apogee in the Fire Horse. No one, not even the Fire Tiger, can surpass him in optimism, enthusiasm, blind faith, and courage. If anyone is able to move mountains, it must be he. Extremely brilliant and terribly efficacious, he detests mediocrity and failure, and his achievements are generally equal to his inordinate dreams. Good luck often seems to be on his side. He is capable of the best as well as the worst deeds. If most Horses can be sentimental when they choose, the Fire Horse is almost totally devoid of tender feelings. He attaches no importance whatsoever to qualities of the heart and therefore can sometimes display an inhumane and ruthless attitude. He does lend a helping hand every now and then, but it is for the sake of a show, not out of a sincere concern for the next fellow's welfare. His self-pride is legendary, and his violent outbursts of anger cannot be easily forgotten by those whom they are aimed at.Horses are...Adventurous, charismatic, eloquent, skillful, quick witted, athletic, entertaining, charming, independent, powerful, hard working, frank, sensualHorses make great explorers, traveling merchants, or generals. Horses can also be...Selfish, weak, hot headed, ruthless, rebellious, tactless, pragmatic, impatient, predatory, restless and HORSE/LeoLeos are ruled by fire. So are Horses. Leos are of noble stature. So are Horse people. Leos adore being applauded, respected and revered. Horses enjoy the same pleasures. This Horse person will be a monster of egotism and a sure winner of any race he sets his fancy footwork to. Living with a Horse/Leo is a tough job. If, by some chance, this Horse does not succeed in life, the blow to his pride will be too much to bear. Anger will ensue, then bitterness and self-pity. He will leave the paddock at a young age and gallop away to conquer the world. Don't try to stop him. Failure to achieve his goal could lead to a mental breakdown.
