The Horse Chinese Zodiac in Mythology
There are many legends and stories about the animals chosen to be part of the Chinese astrological system. One of these legends refers to the desire of the Jade Emperor to know the animals that inhabited the Earth. He decided that some of them would be brought before him. To facilitate the selection, the Emperor defined two criteria: they would have to be useful animals to Man or be one of the first to arrive at the Heavenly Palace on the day of choosing the animals.
The horse served the Jade Emperor in Heaven and, at that time, it had an imposing pair of wings. Arrogant and haughty, it often intimidated other animals because it could fly, swim and run like no other.
One day, it was asked to deliver a message to the Dragon King of the East Sea. On the way to the palace, the guards blocked its way. Furious, the horse kicked one of the guards to death. When the Emperor learned of what had happened, he ordered that the horse's wings be clipped and that it be isolated on the mountain.
Two hundred years later, the horse was surprised on the mountain by a predecessor of Man. The horse, who lived in agony, begged him to release it to serve the Man. Moved, Man's predecessor used magic to free the horse. In gratitude, the horse started to use its strength in the service of Man, collaborating in the heaviest agricultural work, transporting goods, serving as a means of transport, and fighting in battle. When the Jade Emperor was choosing the animal signs, the horse was the first one that Humans recommended and the Emperor named it, according to his wishes.
Dates of the Sign Horse
The Chinese Zodiac is associated with the way time is measured in traditional Chinese culture, that is, in 60-year cycles. This calendar results from the multiplication of the twelve animals and the five elements. This cycle is very important and makes each one of the 60 years a special and unique period.
Each animal rules, in rotation, a given year, in a continuous 12-year cycle that starts with the Rat and ends with the Pig. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, one of the 12 animals takes its place for that year. In addition to characterizing people born during that year, the animal also influences the attributes of the year - which affects us all. The years governed by the sign Horse are as follows:
- January 30 1930 to February 16 1931 - Metal Horse
- February 15 1942 to February 04 1943 - Water Horse

Compatibility of the Sign Horse

The compatibility between animals in the Chinese Horoscope takes into account the characteristics of each animal. Those whose characteristics match each other well and may tend to have good compatibility. The opposite is equally valid.

The Sign Horse and the Career
After setting its goals and establishing a plan, it takes action. Despite not being the type of fixed ideas, it has some difficulty in making changes to the path traced. For some co-workers, this can be interpreted as lack of flexibility, but for this native, it means staying focused.
It is methodical and organized and prefers to know what it counts with than to have big surprises. Dealing with the unforeseen is not something it particularly likes. At work, it is independent, happy, and hardworking. It doesn't mind working as a team, as long as his effort is properly recognized.

They never think about tomorrow and rarely bother to save. Therefore, they have a completely detached relationship with material goods and money.
The best careers - Politics, sport, civil construction, geographer, explorer, actress, artist, executive, publicist, commercial agent, translator, language teacher, bartender, tour operator, librarian, pilot.
The Horse Chinese Zodiac and Health
In general, Horses are very healthy, probably because they maintain a positive attitude towards life. However, excessive responsibility or professional pressure can leave you drained and weakened. Therefore, Horses should not work too much overtime and leave work after hours every day.

Thus, there are five types of Horses, each with its own characteristics:
