A horse of a different colour

Today’s title phrase refers to something that is “another matter entirely” or “other than stated”, so let’s explore this with a couple of suggestions.

Today’s Fire Horse is infamous in Chinese culture, as it’s so bright it consumes all and is said to leave a trail of destruction behind it. The Chinese almanac also follows this tradition and advises quiet meditation or reflection as being the only suitable activity today.

Fire people as the name suggests, are very bright and need lots of stimulation to satisfy their constantly active minds. Of the five different types of horses in Chinese astrology, a Fire Horse is the strongest and purest. Their traits are also much stronger, which is why they are said to “consume everything in their path”. On the upside, this imbues them with great confidence and independence which may explain their almost magnetic attraction.

Alternatively, today’s title could be taken quite literally, as this month is also a Horse and if we added colours of their elements, one would be green and the other red! Discover your horoscope with our Free Chinese horoscope.

Celebrities born in a Fire Horse year include Halle Berry, Helena Bonham Carter, Eric Cantona, Cindy Crawford, John Cusack, Patrick Dempsey, Salma Hayek, Janet Jackson, Gordon Ramsay, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Kiefer Sutherland and Mike Tyson.
