Horace Greeley’s zodiac sign is Aquarius. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Horace Greeley was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too.

Remembered most as the founder and longtime Editor of the New-York Tribune, he is also notable for his political career. In the late 1840s, he represented New York's sixth district in the United States Congress; three decades later, he passed away while running for President on the Liberal Republican Party ticket.
In his teens, he apprenticed at the office of a Vermont newspaper called the Northern Spectator. Later, he worked for the Erie Gazette (in Pennsylvania) and The Spirit of the Times (in New York).
Something of an eccentric, he is believed by several biographers to have been afflicted with Asperger's syndrome.
His unhappy marriage to Mary Young Cheney began in 1836. Of the couple's seven children, only two survived past childhood.
He played a major role in the 1840 presidential campaign of Whig candidate william Henry Harrison, publishing a pro-Harrison political journal called The Log Cabin and writing several campaign songs for "Tippecanoe" (a popular nickname for Harrison).
