Get To Know The Chinese Zodiac
There are twelve signs in the Chinese zodiac, each based on a different animal, and thought to possess traits characteristic of those animals.
Rat: Rats are charming, talkative types who thrive on close relationships and being part of a group. When upset, they easily become nervous or aggressive, and find it difficult to hide their feelings. Rats tend to be quite thrifty and sentimental.
Ox: Oxes feel most at home outdoors and are avid gardeners. Determined and dependable, they keep to themselves and never stray very far from home. Oxes are extremely tolerant of everyone around them and possess a very strong moral code of their own.
Tiger: Tigers are born leaders, and are courageous and impulsive. Tigers are extremely generous with others, but can also be quite selfish. They are naturally competitive and intelligent, and they seek out the company of others who will challenge and excite them.
Rabbit: Rabbits are sensitive, refined individuals who enjoy the finer things in life. Rabbits are compassionate and helpful toward others, but tend to repress their own negative feelings. They prefer calm atmospheres and will project an image of inner peace at nearly all times.
Dragon: Powerful and dynamic, Dragons are independent individuals who are often called upon to lead others. Others are drawn to their charisma and boldness, though Dragons prefer to neither lead nor follow, but simply go their own way. Their fiery tempers can easily flare, especially when they are defending themselves or people they love.
Snake: The Snake is intelligent and graceful and not above scheming to get his way. Snakes are highly materialistic. They are very analytical, and can often see details of a situation that others have missed, or make sense of something that has puzzled everyone else.
Horse: The Horse is a friendly, honest person with an open mind. Horses are happiest when they are surrounded by others, and their outgoing attitudes and humorous natures make them very popular. Horses have unlimited energy and are always up for an adventure. They are easily bored by routine.
Goat: Goats are very private and deep thinkers, but beneath their quiet exteriors are nurturing, loving people. They are naturally frugal, but they are not bargain-hunters; instead, they make small financial sacrifices to enable a few large, expensive purchases that are meaningful to them.
Monkey: The Monkey is curious and mischievous. Monkeys are world-class pranksters. They are clever and enjoy being challenged. Early in life, Monkeys can be promiscuous and unwilling to settle down, but once they do choose a partner, they are loyal for life.
Rooster: Roosters are prideful and honest. At times, they appear to be boastful, but that is not their intention; it is merely Rooster’s inherent trademark honest bluntness that causes him to speak so highly of his achievements. Roosters are diligent workers and enjoy being around others.
Dog: Dogs are deeply empathic, and can become so concerned about their loved ones’ problems that they are considered meddlesome. While they are trusting, loyal, and kind, Dogs are slow to warm up to people, and can often be critical and cold toward those who have not earned their devotion.
Pig: The Pig is quick to indulge his vices, be they drink or food or even drugs, and would be wise to guard his health carefully. Pigs are responsible and fun-loving, and they tend to be big spenders. They are very peaceful and quite the social butterflies.
