Horse can run very fast. Without a guide on its back, Horse doesn't know where it should go. The Dragon in the heavens can be a good guide for the Horse. Following the advice of Dragon, Horse can take off and become a Dragon-Horse. In general, Horse people should have good luck in career and money area in 2012.  In Chinese astrology, Dragon contains mainly Earth. Horse contains mainly Fire. Fire can produce Earth. They can get along and won't fight each other. But Horse will become weak when Dragon is around. 2012 is a year for Dragon to show itself off. Horse people need to act as a supporting character.  Horse people will do well in the year of Dragon just by following Dragon's wisdom and guidance.

Career: A lucky star related to career comes to Horse people in 2012. Horse people should take advantage of this opportunity to pursue career advancement or expansion. But you still have to keep your profile low and follow your leader or mentor. Then you will have good chance for a promotion, as long as you can manage your current business well. Since a Lonely Star appears in the Dragon year, therefore, you should increase your social activities, do more communication with upper and lower channels and build a stronger network. This way, your job will be easier when your position faces more responsibility and challenge.

Money: A lucky star related to money arrives to Horse people in 2012. In general, Horse people will have a stable fixed income in the Dragon year. It's fine to make some financial investment, but you don't have windfall luck. Gambling, short-term, or risky investments are not recommended. There is sign of that money comes and goes. Horse people still need money management to watch their financial balance. Otherwise, you will have trouble increasing your wealth or saving extra earnings. It's a year of money opportunity. Horse people need to run faster to gain more. Horse people will have nothing without running.

Love: No Romantic Star appears in the year of Dragon to Horse people. There is no conflict between Dragon and Horse. The people in relationships are fine. However, there is a Lonely Star coming in 2012. When dealing with your love relationship, you cannot push your partner to spend more time with you. If you ask your lover too many requests, that will hurt the relationship. It's time to maintain the relationship, not to seek for a closer one. If you are single, you need to attend more social activities. You will have more chances to find a new relationship if you network and get help from friends or mentors. Remember that a good relationship always takes time to develop.

Flexibility is Your Friend

You've been stewing in a mix of symbols that flow into your imagination from the hidden realms of your dreams. Your vision of the future began to clear last year when enchanting Neptune left your sign for a trial visit into compassionate Pisces from April 4 - Aug. 4, 2011, before retrograding back into your 1st House of Self. However, Neptune's 14-year visit to Aquarius ends on Feb. 3, when it re-enters Pisces and your 2nd House of Self-Worth, where it will remain until 2025. The spiritual nature of Neptune can conflict with the materialistic 2nd house, creating problems if you're too attached to what you own or to the idea of making more money. An overhaul of your finances and a re-evaluation of how you produce income will be gradual but, thankfully, hardworking Saturn, your traditional planetary ruler, plays an important role this year in bringing you much-needed patience and practicality.

Saturn the Tester first entered your 9th House of Big Ideas on Oct. 29, 2009, restraining your growth just enough for you to learn some important lessons about life. Your pragmatic approach to education has given you the self-discipline to tackle complex subjects such as philosophy, religion or politics. But what you discover about the world through study or travel will become even more important when karmic Saturn enters your 10th House of Career on Oct. 5 for a two-year stay. Saturn's visit to passionate Scorpio and your 10th house is a time of increased professional responsibilities. You get what you deserve -- and if you've defined your goals and worked hard to achieve them, this can be the payoff. But in areas of your life where you've let things slip, you'll be laboring extra hard to put them right. On Oct. 10, sobering Saturn's harmonious trine to idealistic Neptune -- the first in a series of three that last until July 19, 2013 -- balances your dreams of material success with common sense and persistence to bring your ideas into reality.

It feels as if nothing's been quite the same -- and your everyday life and will never return to normal -- since electrifying Uranus entered fiery Aries and your 3rd House of Immediate Environment on May 27, 2010, for a seven-year stay. You should be thrilled with the buzz and excitement as new ideas, unconventional people, and spontaneous events become part of your daily routine, yet on occasion you may also long for a return to more peaceful times. However, a series of dynamic squares from transformational Pluto to radical Uranus that occur on June 24 and Sept. 19 -- and recur five more times through March 2015 -- force you to leave nostalgia behind and see your life through a new lens. Although you may be progressive in your thinking, Aquarius is a fixed sign, and you don't always handle change easily. Unfortunately, the more you seek security by grasping the status quo, the more sudden and shocking the changes will be. Above all, remember that during these hectic times, flexibility is your friend.

Career: Room At the Top

Take an organized approach to looking ahead this year as your traditional ruling planet, Saturn, is visiting your 9th House of Future Vision. Ambitious Saturn forms skillful quintiles with powerful Pluto on March 28 and Aug. 19, inspiring you to get serious about achieving your long-term aspirations.

On Oct. 5, conscientious Saturn shifts into your 10th House of Public Responsibility, demanding that you step up to the plate and work harder than ever before. Fortunately, this can be the culmination of many years of striving toward professional goals, which are now within reach. If you fall short, however, you'll need to make critical decisions about whether to continue struggling along the same path or to think about a change of direction.

Financially, the devil is in the details when Mercury backs into your 2nd House of Income from March 23 - April 16, so read the fine print to avoid costly errors. Your persistence should be rewarded when prudent Saturn harmoniously trines visionary Neptune on Oct. 10 and Chiron on Nov. 16, revealing a concrete path to fulfill your dreams for financial success.

Love: Backward and Forward

There are two significant transits involving your 5th House of Romance this year. The first could be a bit problematic because it involves the backward motion of Venus, the planet of love. She begins her retrograde cycle in your 5th house on May 15 and backpedals in this heartfelt part of your chart until June 27. That could slow down or put the brakes on a romantic situation. Yet even if complications arise, this gives you a second chance to pursue a desirable individual.

The lunar years of the Horse are 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014. Individuals born in these years are often very popular and admired among those around them, and display the tendencies to be agile, intelligent, friendly, perseverant, and well-liked. You are sexually appealing, charming and good talker. You are hardworking and loyal. However, there are many negative traits that come with the Horse Zodiac, some of these being selfishness, rudeness, negative cleverness, moody and a very high ego. Although the Horse is a well respected Zodiac sign, when these traits are displayed that effect is diminished. The suggested professions for those born in the years of the horse are scientist, explorer, politician or poet.

The horse is in full direct conflict with the Three killings. The dreadful Three Killings or “San Sha” – a combination of three “Sha” namely the Year Sha, Robbery Sha and Disaster Sha. Impediments that set you back may be caused by the Year Sha; financial losses may be due to Robbery Sha and frequent accidents and mishaps could be because of the Disaster Sha. Feng Shui cures are Feng Shui Three Divine Guardiansin the South sector and carry a 3 Celestial Guardians with Implements Keychain. If you manage to safeguard yourself from the Three Killings, the year of 2012 is going to be very productive and exciting for you because the Victory star is in your chart.

Success will come, especially in competitive situations. You will earn admiration and respect from colleagues and friends for your strings of victories and achievement. Your networking will grow and your foundation will be strengthened further to attract abundance for the future. You will emerge thriumphant in most occassions. Having said that, this is not a good year to start anything with high risk especially financially. Better to keep doing work you are familiar with. Those who are young and just starting out in working life should curb impulsive decision. Do not get ahead of yourself or you might at the same time attract envious eyes. The Victory Banner with Mystic Knot and Evil-Eye Keychain or Evil Eye with Om Mani Padme Hum Keychain is just perfect for you this year. Place a Victory Banner or Black Victory Horse for Ultimate Success in the South sector.

Relationship wise, it's going to be a very unstable year. You might seem unreasonable to others. It's better to simplify your life and embrace whatever is your situation this year. No need for painstaking analysis of life situations in matters for love relationships. Try pairing up with your ally, the Tiger, as this is excellent feng shui for you and will make a big difference to you luck in 2012.

Your zodiac allies are the Tiger and Dog while your horoscope secret friend is Sheep. Your horoscope allies are friends whom you are connected and enjoy their company. A secret friend is someone you can always depend on, and will stand by you during tough times.
