Okay... whatever.

Metal Horse

Eh, sort of fits me...

Hmm... Apparently I'm a wood ox. How delightful! Let's see if I can dissect this... Sorry about the length. Feel free to skip down.

"Oxen in China are put on a pedestal. So it goes with Oxen people. Oxen are bright, peace-loving, often easy-going and trusting. But, on the other hand, they can also be stubborn, methodical, and fiercely competitive, with, shudder, fierce tempers to boot. "

That's more or less true. However, as far as fierce temper, I'm more passive aggressive. It takes a lot to get me riled up enough to do something.

"Oxen are natural born mentors and life is filled with examples of people who have gone on to great success because of them. "

I guess we'll see.

"Mentally and physically alert to the point of genius, many Oxen belong to Mensa."

I kind of laugh. I'd consider myself reasonably smart, but no genius. As for "alert"... he he... Depends on the kind of day I'm having.

"They can create the most imposing structures, magnificent sculpture, and homes. They respond like poets to the beauties of nature and of solitude. Oxen are unique, they are The Flower that bursts through the crack of cement."

I do enjoy writing, including poetry, and I do love nature.

"Bird's Nest Soup and Bean Curd are among the keys to good health!!"

Um, okay.

"Great fun these Wood Oxen, with their marvelous sense of humor that patches up just about everything in their path, winning chuckling friends along the way. Like typical oxen, they are open-minded, with a "laissez-faire" philosophy towards others."

*lifts head up* I have my moments.

"They conduct their own lives with a strong moral code and receive and deserve admiration and trust for their integrity."

Finally! Someone gets me!

"Practical all the way, Wood Oxen never make rash decisions and are always considerate of the needs of others."

Fairly accurate.

"Another story is money! Finances are not too stable because of that old devil Credit! Why, they would buy a dinosaur if they were just offered one with a dollar down and a dollar a week."

I fear credit cards.

"Not only that, they lend money to friends, not a good idea! Despite a volatile financial life, their careers are pretty successful. Since they are generally such quick learners, all they have to do is control their impulsive spending and try saving for a change. "

Yes... but I still loan money to friends. I also enjoy buying things for friends.

"When it comes to moonlight and roses, Wood Oxen have it made. Because they are such good communicators, they know that nothing chills a romance like a cold shoulder. They talk over differences right away, never letting trifles build up into resentments."

Ha ha... no. Though I try really hard to not hold grudges.

"Wood Oxen are very devoted to their family and family life is rich with treasure."

Yes.

So that's me... the wood ox.

EDIT: That's kind of funny. I have a twin, and my two older brothers are both "Water Dogs". We're all very different.

I'm a Fire Dragon! I'm not sure it fits or not.

Well, I was born in 1992, So it said i was a water monkey. I read it, and it was nothing like me. My birthday is pretty late in the year so i looked at 1993 and it was the water rooster which fit me perfectly, So i dont know.

Snake for me. Some of my friend's got this tattood on their arms, just before were the hand starts.

Surprise! The signs are equally distributed, just like the ages of people on this forum. I'm Rabbit by the way

Try having a Dragon brother and arguing that Rabbit > Dragon, it's harder than it seems T-T

Tiger people are sympathetic, kind, emotional, and sensitive. At movies, they can cry their eyes out! Despite their kindness, they can be extremely short-tempered. The rage of Tigers is terrible to behold but it also gives them the adrenaline needed for the sublimest of bravery. The Tiger is also a deep thinker and can make the most astonishing intellectual connections, with great mental agility. On the negative side, they tend to be suspicious and a bit self-centered, OK selfish, and indecisive. Above everything, however, the Tiger stands as a supreme emblem of protection over human life, admirable always.

Soup and Oolong Tea are among the keys to good health.


Look no further than the Wood Tiger for true friendship. This compassionate human being is always ready to lend his or her shoulder for friends to lean on. Friends show a reciprocal spirit. When the Wood Tiger needs it, friendship and support are always there and indirectly help the Tiger's successful ascent up the career ladder. Once there, this Tiger experiences such prosperity, it's almost like winning the lottery, except it's earned good fortune. Wood Tigers are very creative in finding ways to make life exciting, never lacking inspiration to change what can be changed and to forge ahead with native wit and charm. When it comes to Love, the male Wood Tiger has to fight his fantasy of becoming a playboy. When he experiences that familiar lust-in-his-heart tickle, he has to give in instead to his ingrained gentility. When it's time for a Wood Tiger to marry, he nearly always attracts a very beautiful wife. Also gentle, the female Wood Tiger is very generous with love and kisses and is always good to her husband. Wood Tigers in general have a very fulfilling and happy family life, with no regrets.

Bump.

Rooster here, water.

Excerpt from the article.

Rooster is often seen as the original strong silent type, not unlike the Humphrey Bogart and Greto Garbo prototypes. Most people consider them quite eccentric. Sad to say, relationships with other people are often strained. They are quite moody and can be too outspoken. They are often self-centered, but can be quite brave when the situation calls for it. On the other hand, Rooster People are quite talented and capable. They are always devoted to their work and have a reputation for being the hardest of workers. Rooster People are deep thinkers and are pioneers in spirit. They can experience the greatest of joy in complete solitude. Even though often alone, they rarely experience loneliness. Instead, they enjoy their own company and feel solitude helps them in their quest after knowledge.

The only thing that really doesn't fit me is the hard working, I'm a bit lazy if i do say so myself.

Earth Dragon. Convenient, considering Earth is my favorite of the four elements.

(Heavy) Metal Lamb

Lamb people have good taste and are quite charming and elegant ? and rich. You may find them the center of attention at a stylish dinner party, ravishing all with incomparable wit and bon mots. The opposite is also true: they are often quite shy and sometimes prefer complete anonymity, the quiet life at home with a good book, a roaring fire, and the joys of the palate. A creative flame burns in their lives and you may find them before a canvas experimenting with bright bold genius strokes of paint. Sometimes, they tend to be pessimistic and question the meaning of life, wondering "why they dwell among green mountains." They are quite often deeply religious or spiritual and quite passionate about their work and their belief.

Sweet Potato Soup and Cellophane Noodles are among keys to good health.

The bright moon nearly always comes to shine upon the Metal Lamb. Courageous, these hearty souls know their share of trouble, but nearly always recover to rise like stars. The Metal Lamb paints a canvas filled with blacks and grays, as well as brilliant splashes of reds and yellows. Like gypsies, these easy-going artistic souls passionately explore life, from one pursuit to another. Their sense of responsibility and a nagging practical streak, however, keep them anchored enough so that things never get out of hand. The Metal Lamb is full of confidence and very career minded, but despite the best of intentions and best-laid plans, they experience plenty of ups and downs. The good thing is they can usually make a turnaround. Now, about money! The expression "so-so" best expresses the state of their financial fortune. When it's good, it's very good, but whenever Lambs give in to a gambling nature, they can lose it all in a flash. Word to Metal Lambs: Watch out! When it comes to Love & Relationships, the Metal Lamb falls in love over and over again, too often confusing physical sexual love with the real thing. Until Lambs get control over their lusting ways, relationships won't last very long once the honeymoon is over

Earth Snake
Fits me almost perfectly.

Snake people enter a room and there is Music, Music, Joy! Everyone dances! Such high spirit! The Snake is so intense and passionate, just as likely to take out the castanets as to climb mountains of snow. Snake year people are charming and romantic, often planning delightful hideaway surprises. Possessing tremendous wisdom, they are deep, quiet thinkers, calm by nature, but most intense. They often get involved in great causes, bigger than life, and often serve as mentors to the young. To paraphrase Confucius, they have a kind of inner beauty that arises, hovers, then comes to nest. They will have an abundance of good fortune and a long and prosperous life.

Before we get to the good things, let's get this out of the way: The Earth Snake can be, in a word, snaky. Seductive and alluring, they can wrap their prey in a clever web almost impossible to escape. Their disarming manner has its charms but can backfire, when people run like crazy for blessed relief. But, oh, my, how Earth Snakes can shine. Their inborn magnetism, quick response to the needy, and unaffected love for their fellow men compel support from high and low alike. People generally gravitate towards these very graceful creatures who are citizens of the world, as much at home on the tennis court as in a museum or taking part in a street festival. Earth Snakes do well in school and lead a privileged life throughout their later career years. Golden years promise good financial fortune. In the Romance & Relationship Department, Snakes are not at all snaky, in fact they are a bit too cautious, afraid that if they give their love away, they won't get it back. Nonsense! Once the love bug bites, they are very ingenuous and imaginative in keeping the romantic flame burning.

Famous Snake People: Mao Tse-tong, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Ferdinand Marcos, Abraham Lincoln, Lady Pamela Mountbatten, Martin Luther King, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Edgar Allen Poe, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bob Dylan

Metal sheep. It fits me surprisingly well, from what I know of the zodiac.

Metal Sheep/Goat, but I have no passion for art...

Earth Dragons unite! looks like we own.

The Chinese year usually begins anew sometime in late January/early February (correct?).

yes indeed

im a monkey. i suppose it fits me well enough. but by the way its impossible for thesed things to determine our personality because that would mean that everyone who is the same age has the same personality.

yep, thats why I think it is more suppose to be a guide line rather than a rule

Water Monkey, apparently. This whole thing is pretty much inaccurate:

Monkey people, on their merry way to becoming famous, like to strew memorable bits of impishness and practical jokes along the way. Lots of fun, they also possess a serious side and influence a good many people throughout their lifetime. They know how to accomplish the most difficult of tasks with the greatest of enthusiasm, concentration, and ease. Even so, they can easily get discouraged and confused and MUST do things their way! They often become great mathematicians, super chess players, researchers, entrepreneurs or scientists. And, great mentors! Monkeys have a burning passion for knowledge of every kind and they magically are surrounded by the finer things in life. Life is a big adventure!

Duck Soup and Rice are among the keys to good health!!


Always the center of attention, this headline grabber likes to be noticed, by everybody. This alienates some people because after all, others would like the spotlight once in a while, too. Others willingly gravitate towards the Water Monkey, recognizing a natural born leader when they see one. The Water Monkey is very sensitive to criticism and tends to hide behind an iron mask to protect from barbs, insults, and unkindness which might come their way. They need to control themselves to gain the respect of others. If they use their talent properly, they will become prosperous and know fully the Good Life. The passage of time will be very kind to them. They will know great happiness in their golden years. They will never know what loneliness is because children just love being with the Water Monkey. They will accompany them on their journey all the way.

When I saw this I thought "Aren't there already a few threads about this?" Then I saw I posted in 07. I was about to say hello to GH.

Still a wood ox as far as I know. I was also born under the sign of the Ram. Doubly-bull-headed.

Wood Rat. I'm not sure what that is sopposed to reflect.......
