Energy of the horse: movement, leadership, charm, sensitivity
The horse corresponds to the hours: 11am-1pm
The fifth month of the Chinese calendar of the geng wu is represented by the Metal Horse.
This month is all about movement and action. Do as you wish to attain success! Be proactive rather than reactive. The horse represents our lung ta – our vital energy that can be lifted by motion and personal power. The more active you can be in June, the better luck and opportunities you gain.
The essence of the horse – fire – is one of action and impulsive courage, and of a faithful nature with the ability to be decisive, holding its own council even when cornered by others’ remarks or finding themselves in difficult situations. Sociable and competitive, they will enjoy being part of any team.
Fanatics and revolutionary Horses are happy when they are surrounded by like-minded people, and with their forthright speaking, they have no problem finding followers of their cause. Unlikely to be dissuaded from any cause, at times their opinions may be judged as prejudiced. Cerebral thinking and intellectual, Horse individuals may enjoy the stimulation of mental challenges and social activities that include puzzle solving – quizzes, bridge and more.
How horse-like are you?
Those born in the Horse Year may dominate, yet will be faithful and respectful in their relationships, but if betrayed can be quite unforgiving.
Those born during the Horse Month (June) love the arts. You are graceful and sensitive.
Those born on a Horse Day are gregarious, complex and sociable.
Those born in the Horse Hours (11am – 1pm) dislike claustrophobic situations and prefer to work outdoors or in big corporations. In their younger years, they may play truant from school, yearning to be outdoors and resenting routine and structure.

Ideal career choices for Horses involve interaction with people, such as sports/health coach, dog trainer, sales or insurance professional, or dancer/performer.

It’s your astrological clash month of 2024. In an unpredictable month when health should be your priority, make sure you seek medical attention if you feel any discomfort that causes concern.

Similar to the Ox, with good luck and opportunities for overseas work in the form of some kind of exchange training, perhaps. Grab any and all opportunities as this will help your upwards trajectory.

![Sheep years are 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015](https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2024/06/04/a180acb2-4381-44e2-a831-d1a59d438755_11f3beec.jpg)
This could be your luckiest month of the year, promising satisfaction in all aspects of your life with everything eventually coming together as you had planned. Obstacles seem to disappear with the help from those who have had your back. If you are travelling, be aware of food poisoning, as the only negative of the month could be stomach discomfort.
X Monkey – don’t invest
![Monkey years are 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016](https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2024/06/04/a1cc12c0-babd-4c4d-a894-90a33322a0c1_17825164.jpg)
Not a good month to be too trusting, as you risk potential loss and betrayals. Although the loss aspect may be small, it may leave you disappointed with someone who you thought you knew better. Don’t leave anything to chance this month; don’t be tempted to invest no matter how good the yields promised may be.
X Rooster – watch your mood swings
![Rooster years are 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017](https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2024/06/04/e44f82a3-2913-44a1-a697-8e4d6b3344d8_175d21eb.jpg)
Beware of mood swings and feeling irritable as the energy entering your chart may be marred by misunderstandings. Don’t challenge others, as you will not come out the winner this month. Lie low, roosters, and deny everything.
∞ Dog – watch your cash
![Dog years are 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018](https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2024/06/04/2fbf20b4-0244-471a-ba08-e1717faecce2_d68fad02.jpg)

![Pig years are 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019](https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/canvas/2024/06/04/3ab3d20e-900f-4ceb-b28d-1605f0d45646_1d6bc27e.jpg)
Unexpected financial gains could be headed your way, but don’t be too bullish, avoiding any high-risk investments. You appear capable and efficient affording your abilities to be recognised. A friend may suggest a break – if so, go and enjoy a well-earned rest!
