The Water Horse
In tradition, Water is linked with wisdom, flexibility and calm reflection. Each animal comes around every 12 years, and with the five elements the same combination returns every 60 years. The Horse is traditionally linked with being lively and enthusiastic. Read more about the Horse in Chinese tradition.
