The symbolism
The Horse is associated with movement, freedom and enthusiasm. It symbolises energy seeking space to express itself.
Imagine adjusting a small everyday journey to suit your abilities, or moving an object to change your perspective. What freedom of movement appeals to you without becoming another obligation?
How should you read the dates?
Zodavela starts the animal year at Chinese New Year, not on January 1. For a January or February birth, use the full date in the calculator. This site convention does not claim to represent every school of astrology.
The calculator uses the Hong Kong Observatory’s calendar conversion tables. They cover 1901–2100; the form accepts births from 1901 to today.
