Those born in the year of the Horse will have two very lucky stars in their path this year, where you will have people who will help you. In general, this year is not bad, particularly for those in the food services, entertainment, and artistic industries which will be prosperous areas. In your path of hard work you may easily find profitable results. However, be aware of being too stubborn and single-minded, where if you think that you think something will win, you will bet it all, or if you think something will lose, you will not even touch it. The result will be over investment leading to financial loss, or a missed opportunity. Generally, this year, you will be very hot-tempered and easily get into arguments. However, if the Horse takes the initiate to change and control your temper, improve your interpersonal skills to gain more business relationships, be bold but meticulous and cautious, and be innovative and open to change, you may find success.

For the working person, though there is opportunity for promotion and success, be aware of both your personal conduct and the conduct and gossip by others. In particular, in your success, it is important to not be arrogant, but be modest and humble, lest you risk provoking the jealousy of coworkers who may create gossip against you and want to sabotage your success. Therefore, in times of success you need to be extra cautious by being low-key, not poking your nose into other people’s business, and being meticulous with carefully worded, error-free documents and contracts.

Legitimate means of financial gain from work will be more successful than money from gambling, buying and selling stocks, and other greedy, impulsive, risky means of getting quick money, where you may initially gain, but lose bigger in the end. You need to work hard and take opportunities as they come. Take the mentality that though you may have money now, there is always a chance that you will lose it. Do not get trapped in the mentality of “I don’t have money now, but I will have money tomorrow,” and spend money that you have not yet gained, which is destructive thinking.

Because there are two negative stars in the Horse’s path this year, there is a tendency for the Horse to have an unstable mood and be impulsive, which will impact feelings and personal relationships, in particular, family relationships with your spouse or partner. As a result of your unstable mood, you may make them to feel that you do not treat them well enough and that you are always hot-tempered, which will negatively impact your relationship. For the married person, you need to be more caring and immediately tend to arising problems through honest, open communication; else wise you will risk deteriorating your relationship and produce opportunities for a third party to interrupt your relationship. Furthermore, you should also mind your own business and not poke your nose into other people’s relationships and produce more problems for them.

This year’s relationship is a year of arguments, which will easily involve gossip, argument, physical injury, and perhaps even legal problems. Family relationship will be problematic; therefore, the Horse should spend more time and energy on tending to family matters and nurturing the relationship. Promptly solve issues as they arise to prevent a greater barrier separating you and your family. Failure to dissolve family problems and be more caring to your family can perpetuate the problems and negatively affect your work.

Health wise, the Horse may feel fatigued by overworking as well as by illnesses of the heart and blood vessels. Your home and eating will be fine; however, excessive eating and drinking will catch up to you in the future. Because you will be hot-tempered this year, you need to relax and reduce stress in your life. Exercise will help. You need to try to be happier and more positive. In particular for those who are prone to road rage and impulsiveness, you need to exert more self-control, lest you risk traffic accidents. In terms of friendships, there will not be really bad people you encounter. However, with your existing friendships, you still need to keep them, but at a dampened level, as too much effort spent will lead to frustration and problems. For those who are young males, you need to especially be aware of and control your temper, as failure to do so may result in physical injury and legal problems that result in incarceration.
