The Horse
The Horse is the zodiac’s engine. Energetic, independent and hard-working, Horses keep things moving long after others have slowed down.
Horses love freedom and movement. They are charismatic and lift a room with their energy, loyal to the people they bond with, and happiest when they can run their own race. Waiting is hard for them, and once they pick a direction they rarely change it.

Chinese zodiac questions
What is my Chinese zodiac sign?
Your Chinese zodiac sign is the animal of the lunar year you were born in. The lunar year starts at Lunar New Year, in late January or February, not on January 1. Enter your birthday at the top of this page to get your sign, your element and your friendly years.
When is Lunar New Year 2027?
Lunar New Year 2027 is on Saturday, February 6, 2027. It starts the Year of the Fire Goat, which runs until January 25, 2028. Anyone born from that day is a Goat; born before it, in early 2027, they are still a Horse.
Why is my Chinese zodiac sign different on other sites?
Many calculators go by the calendar year. If you were born in January or February before that year’s Lunar New Year, your animal is the one from the year before. CUE uses the exact Lunar New Year date for every year from 1800 to 2200, so a birthday on either side of it gets the right sign.
What are the 12 Chinese zodiac signs in order?
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The cycle repeats every 12 years.
What is my Chinese zodiac element?
Your element comes from the last digit of your lunar birth year: 4 or 5 is Wood, 6 or 7 is Fire, 8 or 9 is Earth, 0 or 1 is Metal and 2 or 3 is Water. Even years are Yang and odd years are Yin. With 12 animals and 5 elements, the same animal and element come back every 60 years.
Which Chinese zodiac signs are compatible?
In CUE, your friendly signs are the others in your trine: Rat, Dragon and Monkey; Ox, Snake and Rooster; Tiger, Horse and Dog; Cat, Goat and Pig. Two more pairs are better than neutral: Rat and Ox, and Horse and Goat. Look for your friendly signs in relationships, friendship and business partners: the more friendly energy around you, the better it gets.
What is an enemy sign in Chinese astrology?
Your enemy sign sits opposite yours on the zodiac wheel: Rat and Horse, Ox and Goat, Tiger and Monkey, Cat and Rooster, Dragon and Dog, Snake and Pig. In CUE, enemy energy always finds a way to show up, so it is best not to take unnecessary risks with your enemy sign.
What are friendly years and enemy years?
A friendly year is ruled by your own sign or one of your friendly signs, and it comes about once every 4 years: energy is aligned in your favour, so it is the best time for new beginnings and big moves. An enemy year is ruled by your enemy sign and comes once every 12 years: lay low, exercise caution and avoid big risks like starting a company, getting married or moving country.
What is the Chinese zodiac sign for 2026 and 2027?
2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, from February 17, 2026 to February 5, 2027. 2027 is the Year of the Fire Goat, from February 6, 2027 to January 25, 2028.
