As we shed the old skin of the snake year, the lunar new year of Fire Horse prancing onto this week’s stage has us pawing turf, tossing manes and taking a quantum leap into bold new stories…
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
While this high-energy year brings new people and opportunities, your wild inner brumby needs a judicious mix of kicking up its heels and gentle horse-whispering to rein in headlong gallops and/or infamous Aries temper flares, neither of which will work to your advantage during this exciting and tempestuous cycle.

Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
The dashing, exuberant Horse isn’t at all interested in slow, plodding routines, so once you sturdy Tauran workhorses get this year’s bit between your teeth, you may be amazed at how fast you move. Be advised though, that this year’s Fire Horse theme song is: There’ll be some changes made…

Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
This year’s high octane horsepower needs Geminis pulling in the reins to stay on course and avoid cantering off in so many directions you ultimately get nowhere except feeling frustrated. The talkative Horse has difficulty keeping secrets, so it’s worth remembering there once was a wise man who said… nothing.

Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
Variety’s the spice of life in the year of the high-spirited Fire Horse, but be advised that any whiff of neediness or attempts at control will provoke whinnies of “Hey-ho Silver, eat my dust!” Best strategies? Quickly letting go of what’s not working and trying a new plan of action.

Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
The confident, charismatic, flamboyant Horse is a vivacious show pony who loves having its own way, which suggests possible clashes of will this year with partners or competitors. Heart hurts are the downfall of the ardent Horse, so intelligent emotional strategies will be Leo’s best operating tools this year.

Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
The self-reliant, nonconformist Fire Horse has (shock horror!) little respect for rules, routines, schedules and standard procedures, preferring to adapt instead to changing conditions with an inspired mix of intuition and spontaneity. So buckle up, listen to your instincts and get ready to enjoy this year’s wild ride…

Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
The stylish Horse stands out, so your elegant presentation and graceful communication win prizes this year. But Horse is also the sign of flirts and philanderers, so if that’s you, expect relationship eruptions. Best news is the Fire Horse favours instant decisions, which potentially puts the hurry-up on Libran procrastination.

Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
While the extrovert and boisterous Fire Horse’s non-possessiveness and lack of guile may not be your style, Scorpio dark horses could learn a lot this year about letting go and moving on. A dedicated willingness to communicate honestly and clearly will bring out your best qualities over the coming months.

Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
This adventurous, travel-happy year could see you with the wild wind in your hair. Frisky Archers are born to run, and the Fire Horse year’s fast-moving track puts you on a winning streak if you use that Sagittarian horse sense to pace yourself at a steady, sensible canter.

Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
This lively year of promising economic prospects could increase kudos for your creative work, but it’s also a time when runaway emotions may cloud your judgment. So meditate, vegetate, relocate, do whatever it takes, but remember to keep life exciting and amusing, because the Fire Horse hates being bored.

Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
Oriental astrologers believe this combustible, propulsive Fire Horse year marks a significant turning point for humanity. So if people seem willing to ride roughshod over anything in their way, proffer sweet-talking sugar in the form of flattery and they’re likely to forget they ever wanted anything but what you’re offering.
