With the Tai Sui bearing down, the circus has come to town. Numerous challenges await, and while horse teeth take up more room than the brain, you are going to need both to get through unscathed. Unleash that horse sense. Draft in friends and family where necessary and have them buckle up for the ride. There is neigh point in running a-foal of the cosmic highway, hitch your wagon to it and stay the course.

Plants in water
Gold
They will come for you in the stables, they will come for you on the track. This year the remarkably healthy sounding Prostrate Corpse Star is lurking by the manger and chatting up all the wil-filly bad seeds, plotting for withers all across your body. You can make a plan to stifle them and by trusting in the process, in the mane your health should be reasonable.
All that glitters is not gold, nor is it the price of geld. Wild flutters on the races are only likely to have them thrash wildly; keep your distance from the crazier schemes. On the bright side, the Gold Cabinet Star is in this sector; it is an inveterate hoarder of everything from baubles to gemstones and should go some way to preventing you falling at the hurdles. Horse trading is all the rage at Central Asian fairs, but don’t put yourself into hock.
Who is it that claims you have a cold, colt heart? They owe you an apology, you know this is not the case. They say you should not change horses in midstream? What if the one you are on cannot swim? Sometimes change comes for you whether you are looking for it or not. This year you will do well to be your own amulet of love; after last year’s poor showing, you need to buck yourself up.
It does not have to be a nightmare of a year, so keep your 180-degree turning ears pinned back; if a rival or competitor comes for you with a bay-onet, do not allow them to turn plans into a debacle. A nod is as good as a wink, even if you are not a blind horse, so brush up on the to-pony-ms of other positions and enterprises and you may have a chance to visit. Change is in the air; it is up to you to plot its course.
