Symbolism and Story of the Lunar Horse

The Horse occupies the seventh position in the Chinese lunar calendar, representing freedom, vitality, and ambition. According to ancient legend, during the Jade Emperor’s great celestial race that determined the order of the zodiac, the horse galloped swiftly toward victory. However, the clever snake—hidden in its hoof—leapt ahead at the finish line, securing the sixth spot and placing the horse seventh.

People born under the Year of the Horse (including 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, and 2026) are believed to be energetic, adventurous, and fiercely independent — much like the animal that symbolizes them.
