Chinese year of the green wood Horse

During this trecena we have the Chinese new year of the Green Wood Horse. Actually the Chinese have two beginnings. The lunar (yin) beginning is the 31st, and the solar (yang) beginning February 4th. So in January we are wrapping up the year of the Black Water Snake. Horse years are about change, building or rebuilding, making new friends and leaving worn out alliances behind, changing our image. They bring industry and social gatherings to an all out gallop. This is very busy energy bringing a flurry of activity. Dragons and Horses are auspicious to the Chinese, as the Dragon is the best flyer and the Horse is the best runner. Horses are a symbol of traveling, competition, and victory, and connected with speedy success to the Chinese. Horse is also the non-conformist, which will inspire people to act independently. Wood is community oriented, but with Horse this is like the prodigal son, who leaves home early but then returns to take care of the parents, when they are elderly.

Green gives a focus on living things. I picture this as a group of maverick horses charging across the open plains. They are social but also unique. This brings a focus on resolving problems in a quick, direct manner that abhors wishy-washy people. The year of the Horse is a time of adventure, excitement, victory, and surprising romances, which includes bolting from them as well. We might expect the global economy to get stronger as industrial manufacturing will be on the rise, or economic chaos and collapse such as the Yellow Earth Horse year of 1918 with World War One, or the Great Depression of 1930 during a White Metal Horse year. 1966 was a Red Fire Horse year with social unrest and uprisings in the United States, and the peak of the Cultural Revolution in China. Basically there is no middle ground in Horse years. 1954 was the last Wood Horse year, the US had been experiencing the “Second Red Scare” since 1950, which under the leadership of Senator Joseph McCarthy, made accusations of disloyalty, subversion, and treason without proper regard for evidence. During that Wood Horse year there were events like the “See It Now” documentary of journalist Edward R Murrow and Fred W Friendly, showing the maverick qualities of the horse with “A Report on Senator Joseph McCarthy” and later in the Year of the Wood Horse, Joseph Welch of the special counsel for the United States Army, lashed out at Senator McCarthy during hearings on whether Communism had infiltrated the Army saying “Have you, at long last, no decency?”, after McCarthy’s hearing on the U.S. Army being “soft” on Communism. Followed by the United States Senate voting 67-22 to condemn Joseph McCarthy for “conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute”, which emphasizes the Horse year’s energy for change that comes from leaving worn out alliances behind.

U.S president Dwight Eisenhower warned against intervention in Vietnam, but later in the Horse year gives his “domino theory” speech during a news conference. The French battled against the Viet Mihn in Dien Bien Phu Vietnam, which after two months ends in the defeat of the French troops and the Geneva Conference sending French forces south and Vietnamese forces north of the ceasefire line which eventually leads to the establishment of the regimes of North Vietnam and South Vietnam, also beginning the Korean Cold War between communist North and capitalist South. The U.S. tests a hydrogen bomb, Castle Bravo at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean and the Soviet Union test fires a thermonuclear bomb for the first time. Again we see the Horse energy changing alliances, in this case between two allies in World War II. The CIA engineers a military coup in Guatemala which triggers a bloody civil war that lasts for more than 35 years. The Muslim Brotherhood attempted to kill Gamal Abdel Nasser during the Green Horse year, later in 1954, when the Egyptian president is deposed Nasser replaces him.

Horse years are pioneering and the last Wood Horse year had the first mass vaccinations of children, RCA manufactures the first color TV set, the first televised prize fight in color, Bill Haley and his Comets record “Rock Around the Clock” starting the rock and roll craze, The Nautilus, the first nuclear powered submarine is commissioned into the U.S. Navy and put to sea, the Unification Church is founded in South Korea, Brown vs. the Board of Education is heard by the U.S. Supreme Court which determines segregation as being unconstitutional, food rationing in Great Britain ends 14 years after it began early in World War II, Italian mountaineers are the first to summit K2 in the Himalayan Mountains, the first issue of “Sports Illustrated” is published, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization is established, the first television broadcast of the Miss America pageant, “Lord of the Flies” is published, development of the first commercial transistor radio, the first “Godzilla” film premiers in Tokyo, the first successful kidney transplant surgery, the first electric drip coffee maker invented in Germany, and the TV dinner was introduced. This is a lot of social cultural change which is the theme of Wood Horse years, along with taking action, traveling, and executive decisions to bring success through freedom, passion, and leadership.
