Horses had been among the lop losers during the 2007 year of the Pig which had been a lot worse than expected due to dubious performances that had stepped on only limited tolerance. Mike Tyson, Kiefer Sutherland and Foxy Brown even went to jail whilst others suffered from divorces and many misfortunes.

Too bad, that now the ruling Rat will even be less gentle with the Horses than the well minded Pig in case they will continue with rough edges and sharp profiles.

The Rat loves good communication at sophisticated levels as well as distinct verbal elegance and smart, intelligent moves in the name of common sense.

Once Horses will streamline their appearance the year of the Rat might even turn out lucrative as it will be for most of the Symbols.

No other year offers that many chances for financial gains and for making good savings so that the strong minded Horses will be well advised to reduce their ego and to focus on team spirit.

Also a higher commitment to sensitivity and more general care for others can reduce the risk of failure a lot whilst too much ego can now be seen as a guarantee for disaster.

2008 is not an easy year, but full of chances.
