Horse people
People born in Horse years are bright, cheerful, popular, and fun loving. Horse’s childish innocence, sunny disposition, and natural charm attract many friends. Highly intuitive, people born in Horse year follow their hunches: when constrained by rules, proud Horse will rebel, refusing to be tamed. Horses will tell you exactly what’s in their mind, they are frank and dislike hidden agendas. Their keen judgment and natural intuition often help them make the right decisions throughout their life.
Famous Horse people are Harrison Ford, Paul McCartney, Jakie Chan and Barbra Streisand.
Wood Horse: depth and humanity
Babies born in 2014 are Wood Horse, featuring a deep and humane attitude. This is because Wood, according to Chinese astrology, is believed to make a sign more philosophical as well as compassionate in nature. Wood Horse people have a marked ethical nature, a great sense of integrity and is unlikely to act in a way that would inconvenience or hurt others. Another happy consequence of the influence of Wood is granting a greater stability to the restless Horse nature. That’s why the Wood Horse can set long term goals and stick to a plan or regimen much better than other Horses.
