Exerpt from Article:
"However, 1966 was the year of the fire horse: an inauspicious year. Women who’d been born in the previous fire-horse year, 1906, apparently found it difficult to marry, as they were considered too headstrong and independent — even dangerous. Certainly, they were thought to be bad luck for men."

Since when is THAT bad luck? Or dangerous? Phooey!
