Born in the Year of the Horse

I found out that I was born in the Chinese Year of the Horse. Just for fun I looked up the characteristics of the horse on the internet. This is what I found:

Horses are hardworking people who are generally well liked and admired. As well as working hard, they play hard.

Horses are independent, and are well known for their individuality. They intuitively gravitate towards tasks to which they are well suited. This, together with their hard working nature invariably leads to success.

The horse is a strong masculine sign, and both male and female horses are fairly laid back and easy going, while at the same time being direct. Asked for an opinion, the horse will give it, and where factual matters are concerned, the horse is a good source of reliable information.

The horse is a placid person; however, if their passions are brought to the boil, the result is not easily forgotten - wild horses are hard to calm down. In the home the horse is a steady partner, although they are likely to give as much attention to their work as to their families. Horses easily fall in love, but there are many passing relationships before a long-term partner is found.

Oddly enough, this description matches me rather well.
