The Horse and his Ascendants

Born During the Hours of the mouse - 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

A merry-making, more companionable Horse with the affectionate mouse in him. Both signs are good at acquiring and handling money.

Born During the Hours of the Ox - 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

A serious, perhaps even consistent Horse after the Ox gets through toning down his relentlessness. Could stick to one thing at a time and will not fall madly in love so easily.

Born During the Hours of the Tiger - 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

A good combination of daring and skill. The Tiger has the daring, the Horse the ability to steer out of trouble. Now, if only the doubting Tiger will follow the Horse's uncanny hunches.

Born During the Hours of the Rabbit - 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

A Horse with a touch of moderation in his actions. His rich and sometime vulgar tastes will be reduced by the Hare's discerning preferences.

Born During the Hours of the Dragon - 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

A race Horse who can't help winning or stop running for that matter. Too powerful for inexperienced hands to handle. He also has the tendency to overreact!

Born During the Hours of the Snake - 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Let's hope the Snake can distill some of his wisdom into this Horse. The result will be that he may move slower but is more assured of success with the Snake's guidance.

Born During the Hours of the Horse - 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A thoroughbred who really knows his business. He may have a very restless and fidgety nature, but he moves with amazing grace. Bur he is also conceited and insufferably capricious.

Born During the Hours of the Sheep - 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

A Horse that is less boisterous, with some of the Sheep's harmonious and compassionate ways. Still flirtatious and fun-loving.

Born During the Hours of the Monkey - 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

A strong alliance of agility and wits. Both signs are egoistic and swift. He will always strike out for himself. A glib talker you will find hard to pin down.

Born During the Hours of the Rooster - 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A competent and perceptive Horse with an ultrasunny disposition. With the Roosters dauntless outlook on life, he will never feel the need to worry.

Born During the Hours of the Dog - 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A more faithful and honest Horse. But both signs here are practical, agile and mentally sharp; this may make him condescending, impatient and easily agitated.

Born During the Hours of the Pig - 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

A more steadfast and cooperative Horse with some of the Pig's sincerity. He may be less shifty but, at times, he is also too complacent.
