Clear away clutter that has been piling up, move things around to clean up "blind" areas & sort out unwanted items in your wardrobe, drawers & other storage areas. 

File loose items (bills, letters, namecards, etc) neatly & stay organized.  

2. Identifying The Cash In Your Clutter

The Horse is a worker, adepts at handling money and a good financier. It's just about the right time to learn how to make money from your mess. 

Don't underestimate the value of your idling items. Instead of throwing things out, explore income making  opportunities through selling, renting or barter trading.

3. Fill The House With More Energy

Horse people are active & energetic. Good to fill the house with things that can give you a boost!

Recycle withered plants & replace them with fresh, healthy ones. New pots of plants/flowers can bring in fresh aroma, brighten up the room & increase abundance! Top picks for plants: jade plant, orchids, peonies & lilies.

5. Giving Away As The Horse Would Give

Did we mention the humble humanitarianism of the Horse? For the Horse, giving is the right thing to do. In the same light, how about donating some of the under-ultilized items in your house that are still in pristine conditions?

You could also freely give away items to a community of people who can find new uses for your pre-loved items via SG FreeCycle.
