Happy Year of the Horse to all who observe the Lunar Calendar! I could post a beautiful antiquity, but instead here is my favourite fictional horse: Maximus!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Welcome the year of the horse.

Years of the Horse
(2026, 2014, 2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942...)
People born in the Year of the Horse (like 2014, 2026) are known for being energetic independent, warm-hearted, adventurous, and sociable, symbolizing vitality, speed, and success in Chinese astrology, though they can also be impatient, impulsive, and freedom-loving, disliking confinement. They are natural leaders, enthusiastic, quick-thinking, and enjoy being active, with traits varying slightly depending on their element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water).

8 of my @umassamherst.bsky.social PhD students (7 @isenbergumass.bsky.social) have been from China. They all are now tenured professors at colleges/universities in the US. They told me that the Lunar New Year, which begins tomorrow, is the year of the horse & it should be a great year (let's hope).
