What's Your Chinese Zodiac Sign?

[Alban]

Following on from really's starsign post I wanted to find out what everybody was according to the Chinese Zodiac. I realise that the Chinese Zodiac isn't nearly as popular or well-known as the Western one so here's a link so you can find out what you are. http://www.tuvy.com/entertainment/chinese_horoscope.htm There's a ton of sites on the web but this is the first hit I got on google that gives both the sign and the predominant element. Personally, I find it a lot more acurate personality-wise than the Western Zodiac. I'm far more of a Fire Dragon than I am of a Virgo.

[Man of Steel]

I'm an Earth Snake, seems fairly fitting I suppose.

Ox. In other words, a stubborn ol' cow.

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

Hmm, I must say, relative to my sign in that Chinese horoscope, it seems to precisely reflect who I am, unlike the Western one, which never has. Quite curious.

[Vex Kitten]

But that doesn't tell us what sign you are. You just give us a bit of info and then leave us hanging. You're such a tease.

[Never]

Fire snake.

[In My Own World]

Earth Dragon.... "stubborn, passionate, excitable, honest, and brave"

[pj]

Metal Rat, no less. In league with Shakespeare, Louis Armstrong and Julia Child. "Hearty Bean Soup is one of the keys to good health for a Rat!!"

[Super Duck]

Water Monkey ... I would have much prefered to just be a plain old duck

[Lyla]

I'm a Metal Horse - which might be considered an equivalent of Gemeni in the Western Horoscope (the horse), based on the personality charactersitics. I'm also a Pisces and I've always felt that better fitted me. I guess it depends on each individual.

[FreshBrains]

Water Monkey.

[Chaos]

I am a fire rabbit. I read the personality traits and they couldn't be more wrong. I think I was born in the wrong year.

[TweaK]

Metal lamb, what the shit.

[Alban]

Metal lamb, what the shit.[/b] Ha ha! That would be a very cool name for a band. :yumdumdoodledum:

[NeAvO]

Earth snake: 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.[/b] Sounds good, but not right.

[Clairity]

I'm an "Earth Dog"!

[Eldritch_of_Fire]

Metal Horse

[Nathaniel]

fire cat/rabbit... and pretty accurate... not so much an extrovert though

[Richter]

I'm an earth dragon; my mother is a metal rat, and my father is an earth dog. The personalities do seem to fit on the whole! Pretty cool; I remember seeing these on a Chinese restaurant menu!

[ExoByte]

Metal Horse Cool

[Moonbeam]

I'm a Dragon, but I don't know about all this wood, fire, earth stuff--I've read a lot of place-mats, and none of them said anything about that! I think that part is made up.
