They always impress upon people with dynamic, zealous and generous image. Although endowed with many shinning points, they have to face the weaknesses in their characteristics.

  • Strengths
    Most have nice personalities, such as warm-hearted, upright and easygoing. Hence, they usually have a lot of friends flocking around them. Independence and endurance makes them more powerful, and they do not easily give up when in difficulties. Positive attitude leads to a brighter direction.
  • Weaknesses
    The love of spending seems to be the biggest problem since they must be financially well off to support their social activities and outlook. Besides, their frank attitude at times leads to letting out secret easily. Persistence is what they lack on the path of success(sometimes, not most.)

The year of 2016 hold average fortune for people with Chinese zodiac sign Horse. They may get some achievement in career and wealth if they make plans in advance and work hard efficiently. They won’t encounter big problems in love and relationship (SO I MUST NOT BE A HORSE!). However, they are advised to pay more attention to their health condition. In contrast, they will witness a lucky year in 2017 (why later? why not now?). They may get promotion in career, accumulate more wealth and find soul mates, while they may also suffer from heath problem if they cannot maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Combined with the western 12 constellations, Horses’ characteristics tends to be more specific, such as self-disciplined Aries, ambitious Taurus, confident Gemini, cautious Cancer, tough Leo, prudent Virgo, graceful Libra, passionate Scorpio (apparently, passion is all I have), enthusiastic Sagittarius, aspirant Capricorn, generous Aquarius and insightful Pisces.
Apart from sharing some similar general personality traits, People born in the Year of Horse also subtly features different characteristics based on four blood types. People with type O are usually emotional facing the uncertain situation, but romantic in perusing the true love (and emotional, let us not forget!). Type A people are industrious and persistent, striving to fulfill every ambition, while quick temper makes themselves under great pressure. Those with type B are usually upright and warm-hearted, attracting a lot of friends around, who can be the powerful backup for them. And the type AB ones are wild and unruly in society; they are fond of taking risks to try everything new. Traveling far is what they often do.
Never really liked the Chinese, anyways. But there is some truth in the ching chong chang. I’m not racist. I AM CHINESE.
