This is a time of mixed fortunes for the Horse with the earlier part of the Year much more favourable, especially for career purposes. From around June onwards Horse fortunes deteriorate progressively and there may be arguments with friends.

Being watchful and on your guard for mishaps is one way to avoid them during this period. Control your headstrong tendencies, practise tolerance towards others and be prepared for surprises

Horse and Snake are Interlinked Signs

The classic folk-tale of the 'animal olympics' makes their inter-linkage clear. In this Horse pounds powerfully towards 6th place without noticing Snake wrapped around a foreleg.

Near the finish line, Snake jumps off and surprised Horse rears up and leaps backwards. Seizing this advantage, Snake crosses the finish-line before Horse and the two are awarded 6th and 7th place in the Chinese Zodiac, respectively. A further article by the same author tells the full tale of how, to whom and why all 12 places were awarded.

Romantically, that 'special' relationship will continue to elude you no matter how you try so patience is required on this front. Health-wise Tiger fortunes are mixed with good-health in the first-half of the year and the possibility of ailments caused by overindulgence in the latter-half-so watch your food and drink intake.

Independent-natured, ambitious and enterprising Dragons are willing to take risks to achieve their goals and enjoy facing challenges. Dragons are also usually colourful, charismatic figures, full of humour and enthusiasm who are attractive to others.

Dragons' self-sufficiency, however, can go too far and sometimes be interpreted as arrogance and conceit. Dragons can also be impatient in their determination to 'do their own thing', meaning even well-intentioned ones can appear meddlesome abrupt or even tactless at times.

Dragons are most compatible with those born under the Signs of the Monkey and Rat in relationship terms and enjoy least compatibility with Oxen and Goats.

Fortunes of the Dragon in Snake Year 2013-14

Snake Year 2013-14 is calm and uneventful for Dragons who should face few major obstacles and encounter few major opportunities during this relatively dull period. Summer, however is good for travel, whether for business or pleasure, whilst spring and winter may bring small financial losses.

Dragons may experience some difficulties with relationships during this period. Although serious health problems are not indicated they should take care of the well-being of the heart and limbs during Snake Year 2013-14.

The Chinese Calendar

Huang Di (circa 2,690-2,590 BC) the Yellow Emperor is credited with creating this its current form, although it was certainly in use long before this. Fundamentally influencing how this Calendar operates, Yin/Yang and 5 Elements Theories, which exert powerful influences upon contemporary events, are also credited to the Yellow Emperor.

Snake Year 2013-14 is Year 4,711 by this Calendar also used by many other countries of S.E. Asia. The Chinese who invented History as a Subject for study, unsurprisingly, have the longest written and consistent, chronological record of events on the Planet (one from which we can learn lots!).

The Dragon in Chinese Culture

Myth or Man (or Woman)? Associated with the Chinese Emperor himself, the Dragon has always symbolised strength and dominance. A symbol of good fortune, Wealth and Power, the Eastern Dragon is considered good to have around--the opposite of the pernicious fire-breathing monster springing from ancient Western superstition. In Chinese philosophy, the Dragon brings good fortune, healthy 'Sheng Qi' and represents true learning and authority.
