If you are a Sheep or a Goat…Goat people are elegant, charming, artistic, gifted and fond of nature. People born under this sign are also the most creative. They are also very delicate, their good manners and charms always bring many admirers and friends.

Goats are insecure. They need to feel loved and protected. They are easily drawn into complex predicaments. This being, so, they usually shy from confrontation, pull back when faced with heavy decision-making and blatantly refuse to take an unpopular stand in conflict.

Goat people are dreamers, sometimes, they are pessimistic, hesitant and over-anxious worriers! They can be lazy sometimes. If Goats have any choices, they would definitely choose to marry a wealthy person and sit back for the rest of their lives. Also, they are obsessed with their appearance. This plays an enormous part in their sense of personal stability. If they don’t look their best, they may be afraid to go out the door to pick up the Sunday papers.

Due to their indecisive nature, Goats like to study the esoteric to know more about the unknown. They enjoy reading books about horoscope and fortune-telling. Therefore, it will not be unusual to find Goats working as astrologers or fortune-tellers.

Disorganized as they are, business is definitely not the strength of a Goat. Instead, the Goat will make a good craftsman or artist or writer and can confidently take up any career demanding artistic talents and creativities.

Are you confused if you are born as a Sheep or A Goat or Ram for your Chinese Zodiac Sign?

The Chinese word yáng refers to both goats and sheep,^[5] whereas the terms shānyáng (山⁠羊) and miányáng (绵⁠羊; 綿⁠羊) refer exclusively to goats and sheep, respectively.

In English, the sign (originally based on a horned animal) may be called either. The interpretation of goat or sheep depends on culture.^[1] In Vietnamese, the sign is mùi, which is unambiguously goat.^[8] In Japan, on the other hand, the sign is hitsuji, sheep;^[8] while in Korea^[9] and Mongolia, the sign is ram or sheep. Within China, there may be a regional distinction with the zodiacal yáng more likely to be thought of like a goat in the south, while tending to be thought of like a sheep in the north. source-Wikipedia

Characteristics

The Chinese commonly regard sheep as an auspicious animal, and the year of the sheep, therefore, heralds a year of promise and prosperity. “Yáng” (羊) is a component of another written Chinese characters “xiang” (祥), which means auspiciousness, and the two were interchangeable in ancient Chinese, according to one source.^[11] It is also a part of the character “shan” (善), which counts kindness and benevolence as among its meanings.

Individuals born in the zodiac year have been supposed to share certain characteristics with other individuals also born in years of the same animal sign. Similarly, years sharing the same animal sign have been supposed to share certain characteristics, repeating over their 12/60 year cycle. The shared characteristics, in this case, are traits attributed to goats.

Due to the lunisolar nature of the traditional Chinese calendar system,the zodiacal year does not align with the Gregorian calendar: new years are determined by a system which results in each new year beginning on a new moon sometime between late January to mid-to-late February.^[13] Goat aspects can also enter by other chronomantic factors or measures, such as hourly.

In Chinese astrology, Goats are described as peace-loving, kind, and popular. With the addition of the Wood element, the Goat characteristic is thought to love peace and to be helpful and trusting, but yet also to be clinging and of a nature resistant to change
