Feeling hungry? A table for one by the window? Invite your loved ones along for the meal - it’s going to be oat-standing. Let the rein of the horse begin! Your course this year will have fences and ditches, but you’ll brush them aside and turf them out. Your nosebag is filled with unbridled pleasures and you’ve a good chance to whinny any race you’re in this year. Having tickets on yourself is usually not the dun thing, but a little more charm in your horseplay might see you first past the post.

There should be no need to dressage any wounds this year. While kissing a horse-shoe may be a noble gesture on your part, don’t leave your health to an all-at-seahorse. And don’t allow any ailments to get on their high horse and horse-trade your health. Sudden accidents, or small horse-radishes might break out and rub you up against the grain, ensure your cupboard is stocked with preventative horse pill-ions and you’ll have barley any trouble.
The mane goal for your attention this year should be to prevent your winnings being stored in a vault. Petty thieves and others may importune you, may out-flank you, may try to ass-ail you and saddle you with demands, and turn you into their packhorse. Put this year’s funds to the use you’d prefer, you’ve bought the fairground, you decide what to do with it.
Fore-limbed is fore-armed, or is it four-legged? Whatever the case, you’ve the Wretched Star trying to rain on your horse parade this year. A lovely candle-light dinner, and you’ll be just about to hit the hay when this bothersome anti-cupid will try to turn you into an ass. If you’ve planned well enough, you and your loved one will burro further into the hay, hinny port in a storm, as it were, and stifle that gloomy, cosmic visitor.
Blessed with the Great Yang Star this year, a cheery fellow given to perfecting all preparatory and initial arrangements. Put him to good use, let him be your good-fortune ass-et a-mule-t planner. You’re odds-on for your work, career, or other official interests to dock where you’d like them to this year, no need to languish in the hindquarters.
