The marriage between the rat and the horse is not compatible. In the twelve terrestrial branches, the female horse belongs to the Wu branch, and the male rat belongs to the Zi branch. This is called "Zi-Wu clash," which means that the female horse and the male rat fall into this category. Those who are in conflict usually do not succeed, especially in marriage, which often leads to unsatisfactory results, indicating a desire to separate. Life is full of obstacles, with more separation than togetherness, and there are significant differences in their views. In their relationship, both the male rat and female horse find it difficult to accept each other's perspectives, making the relationship challenging. Therefore, the marriage between a male rat and a female horse is considered a very poor match.

Those born in the year of the horse are usually self-aware and independent. They never need others to remind them of anything. They clearly know their goals and what they want, and they run towards these goals without hesitation. In love, those born in the year of the horse are relatively casual and do not force their partners to do anything. Even if it is their beloved person, if they are unwilling, the horse will never force them.
In love, the horse believes in fate, is more sincere, and shows more tolerance and restraint. In their career, the horse has a strong sense of ambition and can achieve great success.
