Taken from here.
Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! Energetic, good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. All of this Sign's incessant activity and searching may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning for independence and freedom.
Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal that is a magnet to others. This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of the relationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers in general; check out any A-list party and you're bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Sign possesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd. Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud.
An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others' needs. These colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to terms with it. The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Sign stronger and is a key to its success. Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interest fast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead.
Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which can result in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. This Sign really knows how to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished. Once they find some peace within themselves, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what's in their own backyard.
Huh. I've never seen a more inaccurate description of myself, ever. I'm a total homebody, I suck at dealing with money, and I haven't travelled in years, although I do like to travel. I don't travel 'cause I have no money.
I can't say I crave love and intimacy. I like it and would like to have some, but since I don't really get any I can't say it makes me feel trapped. Love connections certainly do not come easily, and I don't think there has been a single time when I've exuded any kind of sexuality. I am *so* not a seducer, and I've never been to any A-list parties, nor do I think I'll ever be invited to one. My wit is about as sharp as a wooden spoon, and the only thing that scintillates about me is the metallic bits on my watch. I have no idea how to work a crowd. Oh, wait! Something true: I do feel inferior to my peers, but I don't drift from group to group. Actually, maybe I do, but it takes years for me to get to a new group.
Maybe I'm flattering myself, but I like to think I'm reasonably sensitive to the needs of others. Not all the time, but most of the time. I don't like taking charge because I'm too afraid of screwing up. Okay, I push others away, but I don't know if that's the key to my "success." Yeah, I don't like 9-to-5, but I do get the job done. Fair enough.
I'm more of a big-picture person, I'd like to think, and I almost never follow my whims. I agonise over decisions for far too long, in fact. I don't think I really motivate people, either. It's not really my style. I guess maybe I have to learn to appreciate what I have more than I do. Maybe. I already appreciate it. It's more than I deserve.

I guess this bit was a little more accurate. More than 50% wrong, though.
