History

In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Horse is tied to traits such as liveliness, ambition, and movement, and is often associated with positive progress. Individuals born in Horse years are traditionally described as confident, social, intelligent, and self-reliant, though they may also be quick to act or easily bored. The year is often viewed as a favorable time for fresh starts, travel, and building new connections.
