Thailand Stamps 2014: Zodiac Stamp Issue (Year of the Horse)

The Zodiac stamps series have been issued every year since 2003, which was the year of the goat. This year, the year of the horse, as the zodiac cycle ends, comes a horse stamp in Thai-style graphic with stars in the background, representing a star or star constellations. Besides the horse stamp, there's a commemorative sheet of zodiac stamps for the second half of the cycle, including the years of the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the great snake, the snake, and the horse. This comes after the first half of zodiac cycle commemorative sheet issued in 2008.
According to the Royal edition of Brama Chati text of Thai astrology, anyone born in the year of the horse will have his or her age fallen in the hands of Brahma. Saturn is the mouth, so he or she will speak arrogantly. The Sun and Mars are hands, meaning the work is rather not good. The Moon is the heart. This person will be ambitious, and always think of doing something big, which sometimes are unable to achieve. Mercury and Venus are the feet. This person does not like travelling far. Jupiter takes the seat, so he or she shall be less interested in sex and love affair. In childhood days, this person was caressed by parents. He or she is soft-hearted, a female deity with the fire element.
