You are probably familiar with astrology based on the zodiac using the twelve months of the year. Hey, if you lived through the 70's and 80's,
you had to know this to get anywhere in a bar!
The Chinese use a similar system but it is based on the year you were born instead of the month. Like the zodiac you are familiar with,
each of the signs in Chinese astology represent certain traits those born under each sign will share:
Rat: Essentially charming. Compassionate. Renowned for thrift and love of family, at times rather superficial.
Ox: Calm, patient, studied character. Takes things slow, steady pace. At times rather dictatorial. Always industrious.
Tiger: Very warm, loving. Independent minded. Pays scant regard for other’s feelings while pursuing fun and freedom.
Rabbit: Very sensitive soul. Loves spending time at home. Although quiet and discreet, still ambitious. Self-indulgent.
Dragon: Charismatic and colorful. Wants to be center of attention. Very arrogant.
Snake: High moral principles, mostly when applied to other. Sophisticated and charming. More than meets the eye.
Horse: Confident and proud. Prone to erratic behavior. Heart is in right place.
Goat: Sensitive, creative and multitalented. Eccentric. Much Fortitude. Loves to be loved, hates to be pushed.
