The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve-year cycle, each year being represented by an animal. Find the year you were born to determine your own sign.

Do you dare tell ???

For the record.........My year is the Buffalo.


RAT: Born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008.
You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist.


BUFFALO: Born in 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009. A born leader, you inspire confidence from all around you. You are conservative methodical, and good with your hands. Guard against being chauvinistic and always demanding your own way. The Buffalo would be successful as a skilled surgeon, general, or hairdresser.

TIGER: Born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010. You are sensitive, emotional, and capable of great love. However, you have a tendency to get carried away and be stubborn about what you think is right; often seen as a "Hothead" or rebel. Your sign shows you would be excellent as a boss, explorer, race car driver, or matador.

RABBIT: Born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011. You are the kind of person, that people like to be around affectionate, obliging, always pleasant. You have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. Being cautious and conservative, you are successful in business but would also make a good lawyer, diplomat, or actor.

DRAGON: Born in 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000. Full of vitality and enthusiasm, the Dragon is a popular individual even with the reputation of being foolhardy and a "big mouth" at times. You are intelligent, gifted, and a perfectionist but these qualities make you unduly demanding on others. You would be well-suited to be an artist, priest, or politician.

SNAKE: Born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001. Rich in wisdom and charm, you are romantic and deep thinking and your intuition guides you strongly. Avoid procrastination and your stingy attitude towards money. Keep your sense of humor about life. The Snake would be most content as a teacher, philosopher, writer, psychiatrist, and fortune teller.

HORSE: Born in 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954,1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014.Your capacity for hard work is amazing. Your are your own person-very independent. While intelligent and friendly, you have a strong streak of selfishness and sharp cunning and should guard against being egotistical. Your sign suggests success as an adventurer, scientist, poet, or politician.

GOAT: Born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015Except for the knack of always getting off on the wrong foot with people, the Goat can be charming company. You are elegant and artistic but the first to complain about things. Put aside your pessimism and worry and try to be less dependent on material comforts. You would be best as an actor, gardener, or beachcomber.

MONKEY: Born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004,2016You are a vary intelligent and a very clever wit. Because of your extraordinary nature and magnetic personality, you are always well-liked. The Monkey, however, must guard against being an opportunist and distrustful of other people. Your sign promises success in any field you try.

ROOSTER: Born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
The Rooster is a hard worker; shrewd and definite in decision making often speaking his mind. Because of this, you tend to seem boastful to others. You are a dreamer, flashy dresser, and extravagant to an extreme. Born under this sign you should be happy as a restaurant owner, publicist, soldier or world traveler.


DOG: Born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018The Dog will never let you down. Born under this sign you are honest, and faithful to those you love. You are plagued by constant worry, a sharp tongue, and a tendency to be a fault finder, however. You would make an excellent businessman, activist, teacher, or secret agent.

PIG: Born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019You are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. You are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, you are incredibly naive. Your quest for material goods could be your downfall. The Pig would be best in the arts as an entertainer, or possible a lawyer.

Edited to add: This vague and generalized statement seems to fit the bill 100%.

damn condom!
hello misconception, nice ta meet ya. i was the product of drunken lust...dad forgot to immitate amtrack, apparently forgot to pull out in time.
 
I'm a Tiger. :catgrin:

I did an indepth reading on the Tiger in a Chinese Zodiac book. They have the elements, too. Not only am I a Tiger, but I'm a Fire Tiger.
No one has ever called me a Hothead. That's a very old-fashioned term. In this day and age, I'm just a bitch. :D
 
I'm a Dragon and, gee, I hope I'm not a "big mouth." Priest is out as a career, though, I think. :)
 
A Goat. Less of the 'Old Goat' from the back there! Too shy to be an actor and I hate gardening. Beachcomber? Hmmm . . .

Alex
 
I'm a drunk...

Wait, what was the question?

Oh, yeah. Snake. WOuld never have guessed it, but it fits me pretty well.

Q_C

p.s. Would anyone else find it funny if Shanglan's not a horse?
 
Horse, obviously. And I think that we can all agree that certain elements of the personality - you have a strong streak of selfishness and ... should guard against being egotistical - seem on target.

I just happen to have been born in the wrong year. :D Small cosmic oversight.

Shanglan

Yes, I would, Q_C! And given his AV, it's funny to me that Carson isn't a dog. :D

You have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. Being cautious and conservative, you are successful in business but would also make a good lawyer, diplomat, or actor.
 
The elements give you a further breakdown of character description. They're quite neat actually.

I'm a Metal Cock (Rooster)

A Horse, and apparently a FIRE HORSE which can be a very good or bad thing to be . . . sort of like being a Gemini. :D Sort of like being me ;)

Someone I knew did a chart for me once. Utterly fascinating.
 
Oh, just like with Western traditions (I'm Cancer), I have such a tendency to be almost textbook with regards to how well I match up to most versions of the Chinese years.

SNAKE: Born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001. Rich in wisdom and charm, you are romantic and deep thinking and your intuition guides you strongly.

<sigh>
Yep...have always thought I needed to listen to the inner voice in my head more, and the lessons on maintaining a sense of humor and watching out for procrastination and overthriftiness seem to be ones I never quite learn fully.

I'm a Rabbit, and my husband is a Snake. His profile suits him better than mine does me.
