Horse Chinese Horoscope

A week into the nostalgic and reflective month of the Snake, you should be getting a feel for its influence, both in terms of the trip down memory lane this is taking you on and its call to slow down. The month of the Snake is the final step in your current personal 12 month lunar cycle and is a time of endings, reflection and for making time to hear yourself think. However, this is also a time of preparation as you prepare for the month of the Horse, which is now just three weeks away and getting closer by the day. Meanwhile, helping to get the week off to a positive start is Monkey Moon, something that can keep you mentally sharper and better able to think on your feet.
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.
