Horse Chinese Horoscope

As you move into the first full week of the adventurous month of the Tiger and of the nostalgic and reflective Year of the Snake, you are still adjusting to and getting a feel for both. Moving into the Year of the Snake you have also moved into the final year of your current personal 12 year lunar cycle, with the next 12 months all about bringing closure to one chapter while preparing for the Year of the Horse and the start of another 12 year cycle. A Snake Moon on Wednesday and Thursday will give you an early feel for this. Meanwhile, as the Horse and Tiger are the best of friends, the month of the Tiger is doing more than just putting the focus on the adventurous side of life's fence.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
The Horse should do well in a Snake Year and while it’s not a wildly fortunate year it is also not an unfortunate or bad year and is generally considered a good year. The Horse has a need for excitement, variety and like the horse itself, it likes to approach everything at speed. It is said that without a rider on its back the horse doesn’t know where to go and the Snake, the wisest of all the Signs has plenty of wisdom and guidance. However, the Snake has no legs so can’t climb on the Horse’s back, forcing the Horse to stop, slow down and bend its head in order to listen.

This makes communication an especially important theme this year, taking the time to seek advice, talk with friends or mentors and establish a good support system. When you start to lose direction and life becomes confusing, just remember that the Horse must stop and bend down, in order to hear the words of advice from the wise Snake, whatever form he takes in your life. This may create some frustration, especially if you believe that you have all the answers and you are right. In your relationships in particular there is a need to approach your communications with extra care, willing to listen to both sides.

Because the Snake can only slither at a slow speed and the Horse likes to run, at times this could lead to some frustration and impatience. This comes with a warning to take care of your health, especially when it comes to stress. The Snake Year is asking that you slow down and chill out, listening to other’s points of view and seeking wise counsel. For an impatient Horse who doesn’t have time for that, you could go head-to-head with the forces in play, creating unnecessary stress and tension. You don’t want to tempt fate when it comes to your health, using this as a chance to get more rest, pace yourself and if you do feel a need for speed or to be doing something, channelling this into exercise, athletic or recreational pursuits will be just what the doctor ordered.
