Under the Chinese Zodiac, the Horse is believed to leave home while young due to being born to race.  This person does not like feeling pressured or made to feel guilty, especially in front of a group of people.  These individuals are typically highly energetic, have tons of sex appeal, love to dress fashionably, they enjoy travel, and thoroughly enjoy being in a crowed.  For this reason, you often find the Horse involved with public events such as parties, sporting events, concerts, and so on.  Interestingly, although this person has lots of energy, he or she often has a sense of not belonging.

Positive Characteristics

If you are looking for a friend, someone to stand by you, the Horse is it.  Under this zodiac sign, you find someone with a quick wit and a high level of loyalty.  Because of all the positive traits that follow the Horse, to include an easy disposition and pleasant personality, you will find the Horse has many friends.  This person also has the ability to put people at ease with a strong sense of humor.

Other positive aspects of the Horse include being cheerful, likable, and skilled.  Although this person is frank, many find this to be refreshing.  Typically, the Horse is cunning coupled with intelligence, which is why they do so well in business.  However, remember that the Horse longs to fit in, to be a part of a group.  To others, this individual seems to be extremely confident but in honesty, the Horse lacks this quality.

Negative Characteristics

As with all Chinese zodiac signs the Horse has both a good and bad side.  Known for having a hot temper and being impatient, you often see a big ego in the Horse.  When it comes to problems, the only ones he or she is most interested in resolving belong to them.  When the Horse is interested in something, he/she will work hard to complete a task but unfortunately, losing interest quickly is another negative characteristic.  In fact, the Horse gives up on about anything with the exception of love, which is very important.

In love, this individual also struggles, being weak, even though he/she craves to be in love and to be loved.  You will also find that people with this zodiac sign become bored quite easily, loving independence and freedom.  When this person is involved with something or another person with challenges or diverse interest, things go much smoother.  Otherwise, the Horse will begin to feel antsy.  Finally, acting on impulse is another negative trait, making this person sometimes unpredictable.

Career Opportunities

For this zodiac sign, you see someone who is high-spirited.  Born with a lot of enthusiasm and drive, the Horse is popular, making them great in all types of careers.  In addition, remember that this person loves to be the center of attention and has an amazing wit.  For these reasons, you will find the Horse working as a stand-up comedian.  On the other side of the coin, the Horse could use his/her ability with people for working in politics, education, or anything that involves speaking in front of a large group.

Without doubt, the Horse is eager to succeed, to make his/her own money and be successful in a career.  Because the Horse is so resourceful, catches onto things quickly, and has a strong mind to make good judgments, he or she would also do well in the financial arena.  As a determined extrovert, you can be sure that whatever the Horse puts his/her mind to success will be seen.
