THE WORLDLY HORSE

The symbol of happiness in the Chinese zodiac, the Horse desires to be free and independent. Vivacious and worldly with a strong need to fit in, you are comfortable in exclusive social groups and gifted in conversation. You follow your whims and motivate those around you with your big talk. Just be sure to temper your fear of failure, as it will only leave you unable to take action.

IN LOVE...

You are a flirt and likely to have many affairs and relationships. You are always in and out of love, hurling yourself into new relationships, throwing on the passion and spoiling your mates. Though you are a romantic at heart, you are constantly changing your mind and can quickly lose interest.

IN HEALTH...

Active, energetic and competitive, Horse people tend to be quite healthy, perhaps due to their positive attitude and natural athleticism. You probably get a lot of exercise and love to be outside, and when you can't, you're likely to feel run-down and out of your element. Still, more than any other sign, you have trouble unwinding and can suffer from insomnia and hypertension. Be careful to resist alcohol and nicotine, which can suck you in during times of despair or stress.

AT WORK...

Noted for your sharp mind and keen financial management, you are innovative and able to make decisions quickly. Jobs that follow routines will not do, nor will bureaucratic positions. You work best by yourself.

AT HOME...

While you want a stable home, you're not exactly the family type because you crave space and freedom. Yet, allowed to roam, you will always return. You love company and therefore are always welcoming of visitors. There are likely to be various unfinished projects around your home, as Horses don't always finish what they start, especially if something more exciting comes along. Dirty dishes and unwashed laundry may also abound, as housework and chores aren't the Horse's forte. Your ideal decor: a house filled with warm and cozy autumn colors, such as gold and orange.
