Metal Lamb... that's it, the Chinese Zodiac thing is officially incorect.
I'm a metal horse. That's grace, strength, rhythm and nobility. I wouldn't exactly describe myself as noble, graceful or rhythmic - I'm strong but that's physical strength from weight training and I'm guessing this is most likely talking about psychological rather than physical strength - which doesn't describe me well at all.
Another few things it said about me are wrong too; always bursting with enthusiasm, active and productive life, very talented, most resourceful, never have to lose precious time worrying about what might have been, serious and responsible workers and have successful careers, Love life. A few bits were right but it's bound to get lucky sometimes. I wouldn't say I do or don't believe in this sort of stuff - I tend to keep an open mind but I can't help but have some doubts with the amount of mistakes made here.
WOOD DRAGON! :mad::)
water monkey and it is amazingly close
I think you're right. If there's one thing I've become friendly with, it's the interior of (American) Chinese Restaurants. According to the ink patterns on many a Chinese place-mat and calender, I'm an "Ox" (1973). Personally, I think it's bull. But that's a mystical creature for another time.
The whole elemental attribution thing is new to me, as far as the Chinese Zodiac is concerned. It must be something "new".
Water Dog
Metal horse... the horoscope is just about the very opposite of my personality.
Who would have thought that people born in the same year wouldn't all have exactly the same personality? I'm pretty stunned. <SARCASM> :D
I am a fire tiger and quite accurately described. I don't know if I believe in zodiac signs though, although I always find that I have some connection with my western horroscope (gemini). I guess I need to do more research on zodiology (lol, is that a word? sorry, I'm may be making that up because I can't think of the proper term --very tired) I've heard conflicting reports that horroscopes are really off since the dates have all switched since they were first dessignated to each characteristic.
wooden pig.
fits me very much

We never had many Chinese restuarants (or Chinese people for that matter) where I grew up so all this is pretty new to me.
I do know, however from my wife's acupuncture treatments that the whole elements thing is about as old as China itself, which if I'm not mistaken is preeeetty old.
The elements are just another pre-scientific-era device to try and explain the ebb and flow of universal energies.
Once again, it's pretty much just yin and yang subdivided into further more precise categories.
Fire Tiger, I've known for years, my grandmother told me...and no I'm not chinese.
I need to be a Fire tiger because of all the luck I need to take risks...it's eccential or I die...simple.
I'm a Wood Dragon.
I'm also a Pisces Dragon, which is the last sign in the Western Zodiac paired with the last sign of the Eastern Zodiac. If you have ever seen that giant book that has all 144 combinations in a combined horoscope format, I am on the very last page! :cool:
So does anyone here actually genuinely believe that this zodiac sign thing has any actual relevance to peoples personalities?
I'm a steel/metal ram/sheep... how suiting... I know that in one astrological book or something like that it said I was 'the ram on the roof' [how random does that sound?]
Nah, but I've known this stuff for years, but yeah, I find it funny too since my element, though not matching my horoscopic element [I think I'm water or some junk like that, not too good with the western horoscope] it matches my sign's personality, the Scorpio... it's sad in ways too, the only stubborn ram out of the 60 year cycle and I happen to get it...
From a theoretical standpoint, I recognize that the day you were born could possibly influence your personality, though I don't put much faith in it... especially as the descriptions tend to be so vague that they could apply to anyone.
As far as predicting the future is concerned, I believe it is hogwash. Fun hogwash, mind you... but hogwash nonetheless.
As I said, I don't put much faith in it, but let's take it to a logical extreme. The position of the earth in relation to the sun changes each day, and is pretty much on a repeating yearly cycle. There are certain conditions that change along with the position: the angle Earth's axis is pointing in relation to the sun; possibly differences in gravitational pull/electromagnetic energies; weather; etc. I admit the specifics of these points are a bit outside of my realm of knowledge, but it's pretty clear that certain physical conditions are on a yearly cycle.
Now there is no evidence whatsoever that any of these things can change one's personality, but given that they are present and that we don't know what conditions are important during the formation of consciousness, I would have to say there is still a possibility.
Of course I would also imagine that any effect any of these things had would more or less be drowned under the noise of influence that is typical environment and heredity.
it says im a water monkey, read the description, it basicly said the complete opposite of myself. The western zodiac works a lot better.
I'm a Metal Sheep. It sounds so tough, I know. :D
I'm an Earth Rooster. I knew I was a Rooster, but the Earth spin (no pun intended) is something new to me.
Definately figured NEKO for a sheep.
