Earth Horse personality
Earth gives the Horse's movement a dependable rhythm, combining enthusiasm with attention to the arrangements that let an adventure happen. Independence becomes easier to share when others know what has been agreed. The tension is between spontaneity and continuity: this portrait seeks enough structure to keep moving without allowing the structure itself to become another restriction to escape.
