In Chinese astrology, the Year of the Horse is associated with energy, enthusiasm, and adventure, believed to bring dynamic change and forward momentum. People born in Horse years are traditionally thought to possess characteristics such as independence, confidence, intelligence, and sociability, though they may also be impetuous or restless. The year itself is considered auspicious for new ventures, travel, and social activities.
