Horse

Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! Energetic, good with money and fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. Good thing they know how to work a budget! All of this searching on the part of the Horse may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. Even so, these dual-natured souls often find themselves balancing this desire with a yearning for independence and freedom. Horses also crave love and intimacy, a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. And hey, this colt needs room! That said, love connections come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal which is a magnet to the opposite sex. Check out any A-list party and you're bound to find the Horse in attendance. Although they're not very cerebral, Horses more than make up for it with a sharp wit and a scintillating presence. Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a quality which causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud. An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others' needs. These colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in. The lone wolf in them can at times push others away, but this also makes them stronger and is a key to their success. Horses are self-reliant to the core and are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead. Although they're not inclined to look at the big picture, Horses have a keen sense of what needs to be done. They are great motivators and get a lot accomplished. Once they find some peace within themselves, they may curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what's in their own backyard. The most compatible match for a horse is the dog or tiger.
