The Year of The Green Wooden Horse 2014

2014 is the Year of the Horse. 2014 Chinese New Year Day is on January 31, 2014. Chinese Astrology uses the cycle of 60 Stem-Branch calendar system to build the Chinese astrology birth chart. 2014 is the 31st Stem-Branch in the calendar cycle. That is Green Wooden Horse Year.

Chinese like Horses for many reasons. Horse provides a good and quick transportation for people before automobiles. Horse can give people a ride to their destination. Therefore, horse is not only a symbol of traveling, but also a sign of speedy success.

Horses like to compete with others. They pursuit for their freedom, passion and leadership. Therefore, people will have busy schedule for their goal in the year of Horse. In Chinese Five Element Astrology, Horse is connected to fire, red and heat. Also, horse is a social animal and red is also connected to love, therefore. horse is treated as a Romantic Star in Chinese Astrology.

Horse is intelligent animal. Horses need to be trained to become useful to human. Human can make Horse famous. Without human's guide, Horse just a wild animal. It doesn't know where to go. There is no destination in its life.

In Chinese Five Element theory, Horse is in the Fire group. Horse month is in the middle of summer. Horse is the strongest Fire animal in 12 zodiacs. 2014 is year of Wooden Horse. Wood can help Fire to burn. So Fire can last longer. When Horse meets Tiger and Dog, then they will form even stronger Fire. Too much Fire implies the hot temper and no patient. If the element of Fire is favorable to the person, then the person should have a good fortune in 2014. If Fire is unfavorable to the person, then 2014 will bring big trouble to the person.

The Overall Trend in 2014 Year of Horse

The Horse gallops in with renewed passion in 2014!

The Year of the Wood Horse, January 31, 2014 through February 18, 2015, is expansive and exuberant! It rewards honest opinions and disciplined thinking.

Social networks will be buzzing. People will be more forgiving and cooperative. It's a fabulous year for travel, parties, and community events.

In Wood years, teamwork brings out the best in everyone. You'll find it easier to craft common sense solutions and have fun in the process. Families working together can attract exciting opportunities in the first half of the year.

Later there will be more time to follow your heart.

Like many things in life, a bright start will be quickly followed by months where patience and responsibility are your tools for success. Many will be at a crossroads that requires courage, flexibility, and original solutions.

Challenges to the way you have always done things do not mean anything is wrong. Wood energy encourages slow growth and practical solutions. This disciplines the exuberant promises people tend to make under the influence of Horse. Hard work and creative innovations promise to leave a lasting and positive mark.

With such optimistic energy, it's easy to make too many commitments and then become frustrated and scattered. Don't hesitate to let others know. Ask for help. Focus more on taking care of yourself. Sometimes the best thing to do is take a break from all technology and spend more time close to nature.

Keeping secrets and the dark side of human nature can be a theme this year. Those who are willing to be honest about their feelings, or any emotional wounds, will discover a sense of freedom and healing that may not have seemed possible.

Love is in the air! A Horse year is especially lucky for taking a romantic relationship to the next level. Marriages made this year hold the promise of exceptional happiness and stability.

Those born in Tiger, Horse, or Dogs years will enjoy a boost of cheerfulness that makes you quite popular. You'll have more fun with friends old and new. Positive feedback enhances self-confidence. Share your thoughts. Social networking will allow you to spread your influence.

Those born in Rat, Dragon, and Monkey years have permission to work less and play more. You'll be willing to take more risks to get what you want. Your intuition is strong and creative juices are flowing! Even though you like to take the lead, it will be easier to be a team player.

Those born in Ox, Snake, and Rooster years will use patience and determination to support a foundation for success. What you sense about people and environments will be quite accurate. People are drawn to you. It's an ideal year for research and developing your skills in any area of interest.

Those born in Rabbit, Goat, or Pig years will be well respected for their kindness. You'll play a quiet but vital role in any group or family activity. Step out of your comfort zone and embrace life to the fullest. Anything that brings you joy is where to focus more time and attention.

Known as the year for leaders, 2014 is set for those who want to make a difference and know how to make it happen. This is the year full of immense turning point that opens a new period of fate. The horse will lead us to this new period, a leader that is committed 100% to his responsibility and get the stage ready for the next 25 years.

The Year of the Horse will continue the wrath of 2013. Earthquakes and floods will occur worldwide while weather patterns continue to change triggering a lot of calamities. But 2014 will also be a good year for carrying out psychic research as new techniques are developed to record paranormal phenomena.

People who cater for alternative medicine will have an increase of demand for their services and more people will crave for more peaceful existence. This will be the year where people will get together to help and give support to each other, a communal living but without the hippy element.

People who are born under the sign of Cancer, Pieces and Scorpio are going to enjoy the things that mean so much to them such as friends, travelling, romance and even learning a new language. For those who are born under the signs of Leo, Aries and Sagittarius will be more focused on their careers and responsibilities as the money-making potential for this year is huge for all of them.

Earth signs like Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are more aware about the progress of their relationships and changes that will lead them to happiness. People under this sign will have more open communication with their loved-ones and those who have kept secrets from them in the past.
