HauteHoroscope wishes you a happy lunar new year. The Chinese zodiac prescribes 2014 as the Year of the Horse; and by cosmic (or cultural) kismet, the year is also marked fashion and interior design trends which feature horse-related graphics and prints.
In China, the horse is traditionally associated with loyalty and energy, and is considered the second-most popular animal sign of the zodiac, after the dragon.
Good fortune
The phrase for “at once” in Chinese literally means “on horseback”, and some popular New Year cards this year have featured money, houses or cars on horseback, expressing the sender’s wish of speedy good fortune for the receiver.
This year, however, is set to be a dramatic one, according to Hong Kong feng-shui masters, as it is the Year of the Wood Horse — incorporating the element of fire.
