Horse Chinese Zodiac Elements

In the Chinese Zodiac, there is a theory based on the elements. According to this theory, each sign in the zodiac has an affiliation with either Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, or Gold (also known as Metal). 

The Chinese believed that someone’s destiny and personality could take cues from their birth element as well as their Zodiac sign. With that said, each Horse Chinese Zodiac has a particular element, which represents different traits for each element.

The elements, like the zodiac animals, change in a predetermined cycle. As a rule of thumb, an element of a particular Zodiac sign will only reappear after 60 years. For example: Since a Fire Horse year fell in 1906, the next Fire Horse year will be in 1966, so on and so forth.

Personality In Depth

While those of the Horse Chinese Zodiac may have their signature traits depending on their elements, there are still some core aspects that they all have in common as Horses.

Strengths

Horses are fiercely independent and are more than capable of taking care of themselves. They often find it easy to make new friends as they are quite generous, and everyone around them appreciates their genuine optimism.

Horses are quite energetic and this works out well for them as they are also determined. It means that they can often go far on their own. But, they are also more than happy to help their friends out.

They are also quite intelligent. Learning new things can come quickly to them. Furthermore, they have a way with words. Their eloquence only helps their relationship with other people,  and their quick uptake on things allows them to work effectively as a  leader.

Weaknesses

Unfortunately, their generosity goes hand in hand with their extravagance. For instance, they often spend a lot of money on clothes and status symbols. They tend to live life day by day, and their long-term planning suffers because of this.

When it comes to dealing with other people, they can be quite callous. Their straightforward nature often lacks that temperance of empathy. Not only that, but they can be quite stubborn. It can be a fight and a half to get them to actually consider any opposing points regardless of merit.

Furthermore, they have a hard time when it comes to keeping secrets. While it is good that they are forthright and honest, they can often slip up and reveal compromising information. It becomes doubly alarming when those secrets belong to other people.

Compatible signs

For those of the Horse Chinese Zodiac, all the Zodiac signs fall somewhere in the spectrum of compatibility. Here are some sign pairs that work especially well together.

Horse and Tiger

Both the tiger and the horse have a lot of similarities they can bond over. They both fiercely value freedom and independence, so they naturally respect each other’s space. Furthermore, they tend to share the same interests and ambitions. While both signs may be liable to butt heads, they rarely ever do with how aligned their ideals are.

As two similarly optimistic and energetic signs, their relationship is lively and full of excitement. The tiger admires the horse’s energy while the horse adores the tiger’s action-oriented outlook. Since both signs are quite extroverted, they also do well together in social situations.

These two signs work well because they are similar enough to bond but different enough that they can cover each other’s weaknesses. The tiger can rein in the horse’s need to splurge all the time while the horse can temper the tiger’s fiery attitude.

Horse and Ram

The horse and the ram also share a lot in common. Their relationship is one that emphasizes excitement and interest as both signs are always on the lookout for the next big thing. What makes this work especially well is that they find a lot of that fun in each other.

With that said, their relationship is intense. The initial passion between them can sweep them all the way into a committed long-term relationship with each other. Of course, once the shine and the novelty wear off, they have to deal with the realities of a relationship. But, thankfully, their differences bring them closer instead of farther apart.

Those born in the year of the Horse Chinese Zodiac are almost hard-wired to run around looking for stimulation while their ram partner is more likely to stay put and cultivate their home life. While this may seem like a recipe for conflict, their mutual need for excitement gives them a powerful foundation of understanding and trust. Thanks to that trust, they pull each other from both extremes and into a comfortable middle ground.

Conclusion

People born in the year of the Horse Chinese Zodiac have an infectious energy that seeps into everything they do. As social creatures, they love being the center of attention, and they thrive on spending all that energy entertaining a crowd.

While they do have a tendency to be selfish, and they can be a bit stubborn, Horses mean well only want the best for themselves and those around them. While they have the potential to be sneaky, they instead use their cunning to charm others and make friends.

Of course, this is only the iceberg for those who want to look deeper into the Horse Chinese Zodiac. But this should be a good starting point for those who want to know more, and it should be a great overview for everyone else.
