I am fire horse , said to be one of the worst sign in the chart, Beware!
So what's with Fire Horses?

Fire Horses are seen as outgoing, people-loving, ambitious, rebellious, and independent. They are supposedly freedom-loving and impossible to contain.
These all sound like perfectly fine qualities to the westerner, especially to Americans, since our culture prizes individualism, but in other societies, these are not necessarily good qualities. They are especially disliked in women; wives are supposed to be submissive and dependent, not ambitious or headstrong, and that belief is not uncommon in Western cultures, either.
While ambition and independence are prized as ingredients for success nowdays, they were never seen as ideal female qualities. The proper woman was seen as submissive, quiet, and dependent, not rebellious and strong. This prejudice against fire horse women kept the 1906 herd wracked by poverty in Japan, since no one would risk marrying a woman with these qualities. Now over 90 years old, many of the surviving hinoeuma women are poor and homeless. While the 1966 herd isn't this disadvantaged, they do battle these stereotypes every day.
Thankfully, the attitudes are changing somewhat. The Japan Hinoeuma Association, formed by six courageous fire horse women, is an organization dedicated to bettering the fate of the roughly 1,300,000 fire horse women who were born in Japan. It's interesting to note that the birth rate for that year is down a half million as compared to the previous and succeeding years. Such was the prejudice against the fire horse women that parents who had girls that year often delayed registering their births to keep them from having to deal with the stereotypes.

Through all the moons of many a year, the Fire Horse is a dynamic creature, with a vigor that promises youth and freshness until the very end of life. The will and the spirit of the Fire Horse cannot be broken. This Horse goes through life with philosophical patience and the ability to bounce back from adversity no matter how dire the circumstances. In times of solitude, Fire Horses also have an insatiable need for intellectual stimulation and they satisfy their curiosity for learning through reading, listening, conversing, and travel abroad. Fire Horses make inspiring leaders, revered and respected. They encourage their subordinates with kindness and just the right degree of strictness and work well with people in all stations of life. Financial rewards fall in the middle ground, not too bad, not terrific, but always comfortable. Being in love with the Fire Horse brings pure rapture. These noble Horses are generous with their love, with hugs and kisses. Loved ones always know where they stand because Fire Horses demonstrate every day through their actions the love they feel deep within. Each day is a soft and tender love poem.

If you could use a little luck in the year of the rabbit , here are a few customs to observe,
1. Sweep for success. Clean youe house from top to bottomto expel the dust and dissapointments of the past year and usher in a bright future. Decorate with plants or flowers , symbolic of rebirth. But remember, All work must be done by midnight. FEB.2nd

2.Dress for the occasion. But new clothes to wear on New Years Day:
They represent new beginnings. Even better, get something red- it's considered a lucky color

3.Add luck to your menu. Have dinner with your family, on new years eve, consuming fortune boosting foods like nain gao (sweet sticky rice cakes), dumplings and a whole fish, symbolic of progress, togetherness and abundance.,

The Year Of The Snake

1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001

People born in the Year of the Snake are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. They are most compatible with the Ox and Rooster.

I disagree with the selfish, and bit stingy description. Marital problems because of being fickle? Hmmm, all i can say about that is, if you got something good and want to hold on to it, don't fuck it up.

WolfyOne · 02-11-2011, 11:11 AM

I'm a loyal dog and supposed to be lucky in this year of the rabbit

Metal Pig - Platinum, to be exact.

Years 1911 and 1971
Metal Pigs have a tough exterior, and this strength can be seen in all areas of life. They work diligently and love with all they have. They’re outspoken and trust others right away.

proximitywithoutintimacy · 02-14-2011, 11:58 AM

I read the first post and giggled a bit, because my best friend/platonic wife is a Tiger, and I'm a Rabbit, haha.

I sincerely hope this year will be better... calmer... peaceful. I need it!
