Water Horse Month: June 5 – July 6
Elements: Yang water and fire
The fifth solar month in the Chinese calendar is the Water Horse (ren wu).

The fire element is blazing, and as we enter the midsummer madness, it is worth considering the precautions built into the elemental dynamics of this time. These include the fact that the summer solstice marks the peak of yang, but also the birth of yin as the days – and the qi – start to draw in. We will be reconnecting with stillness and simplicity even as we are at a peak capacity, anchoring ourselves in the earth as a safeguard.
The element of fire is strong and fierce this month and can cause “burn outs” for many who already have considerable fire in their birth chart. This month, avoid taking big monetary risks, don’t be too trusting, check things for yourself rather than relying on someone else’s word, avoid getting drawn into gossip and being impatient.
In Chinese culture, horses are considered to be blessed with stamina, perseverance, strength, loyalty and a fierce need to follow their own passionate beliefs. In feng shui practice, the horse is regarded as an auspicious symbol of good fortune, bringing luck associated with power and prosperity with the potential for an elevation in rank. They are great symbols of success, speed, stamina, courage and loyalty, which is why the horse is such a favourite subject in Chinese art, and why you often find horse art and figurines in the offices of Chinese tycoons and in corporate management. Claim your horse support by displaying a beautiful horse in the south of your home or office.
The Horse is compatible with the Goat, the Tiger and the Dog. Challenges occur for those born in Rat years.
How Horse-like are you?
