Two zodiac signs fall within the Gregorian year 2074. Choose the row containing your birthday. These dates include both the first and last day; the animal changes at Chinese New Year, not on January 1.

02 / The story of the year

What kind of Horse is 2074?

Zodiac animal: Horse · 马
Year element: Wood
Stem & branch: 甲午 · jiǎ-wǔ
Lunar year length: 384 days

Horse personality in tradition

The Horse often represents energy and forward movement. Horses have a long presence in Chinese painting and poetry.

The phrase “energetic & independent” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2074. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属马。

Wǒ shǔ mǎ. “I was born in the Year of the Horse.”

Horse compatibility in folklore

Horse, Dog and Tiger form a traditional harmony group of three. Rat sits opposite Horse, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
