Horse man
His productive capacities
The native of the Horse is one of the ablest men in the professional field. Once he has decided to take up a job, there is every likelihood he will succeed in it and his competence will be recognized tacitly or explicitly by both his colleagues and opponents. What is important is that he be allowed to choose the right occupation, for his adaptability is rather limited.
In general this subject always longs to make some sort of career out of travel. He will be like a fish in water if his profession requires frequent trips, preferably trips to faraway lands. Changes of scenery are for him an invaluable source of inspiration and enthusiasm. He can do extremely well as a commercial traveler, a travel agency representative, or a leisure-time club leader. Journalism under all form suits him perfectly. He can also make an interpreter participating in all kinds of meetings and conferences.
Having a good flair for lucrative deals, he is likely to make a fortune in all professions which allow him to have contact with other people, particularly in import-export business which affords him the opportunity to get involved with citizens of various countries.
Since he likes all sports and outdoor activities, it is frequent to see him work as a professional sportsman, stable-lad, jockey, sport coach, or camp counselor. If he is a fireman or highway policeman, we can be sure he enjoys his job immensely.
His taste for risks sometimes lands him in perilous activities, and we can find him a pioneer, revolutionary, kamikaze, commando, counter-insurgency fighter, or member of the French Foreign Legion.
His interest in the future is an inescapable part of his character. He is therefore a passionate futurologist. Science fiction may be his specialty, whether as a writer or movie director. Naturally interested in research and education as the keys to the morrow, he works with equal enthusiasm in a laboratory or classroom.
Keen on influencing other people's lives and clever at public speaking, the Horse male not rarely makes his career in politics, which could bring him great personal satisfaction. But he should guard himself against demagoguery, for he has the outstanding ability to sway the crowd.
As a rule the Horse male prefers being his own boss and only pursues occupations or professions where nobody is in a position to tell him what to do and when and how to do it. His independence is such that he finds it almost impossible to bear someone else's authority. It is surprising, then, to see him in the civil or military service. But in this case we can be sure of two alternatives: He will give up his job at the first opportunity, or he will climb up to the very top of the hierarchy in a short time. It should not be forgotten that he is sensitive to honors and ranks among those who take particular pride in wearing medals and ribbons on their chests.
Diplomacy is certainly not a field of activity for him, given his outspokenness and hot-headedness. Nor are speculative sciences such as philosophy or theology. History may interest him insofar as it helps to have a better understanding of and command over the future. He hates sedentary works in general and can only make an unhappy farmer.
The career is something of great importance to this man, and he generally works at it steadily and conscientiously. But he may from time to time take a fancy to get-rich-quick schemes, plunges into them head-on, and comes out wealthy - or ruined!
