Re: What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

Another fire rabbit here, seems most of us in this post were born in the 1987/1988 emot-dance

And I knew I was a rabbit but didn't knew I was a firey one school-devil

火Fire 兔Rabbit

The Fire Rabbits stand out from the crowd of other Rabbits. (mmm not sure. I don't know many wabbits ) You might expect Rabbits to be passive, quiet, and loners. Not so, the Fire Rabbits. These extroverts are leaders of the pack! (mmm I am actually introvert or extroverts depending on the place)  Fire Rabbits intuitively sense the right way to bring out the best in themselves and other people. They are brave creatures, thirsty for life.

Others eagerly follow them because of the promise of adventure and great fun, and they are never disappointed. Visionary explorers, Fire Rabbits inspire others to see beyond the surface. Unlike other Rabbits, Fire Rabbits have the potential to be truly rich. Enormously capable and hardworking(hah! I wish it was true), Fire Rabbits can achieve great things others cannot match. Captains in charge of their lives, they experience smooth sailing in their careers.

The multifaceted Fire Rabbits experience great versatility in their lives. Their interests can range from Agatha Christie to bungee jumping, from caviar to enchiladas, from snowskiing to Scrabble. (this one is rigth)  Excellent lovers, they rapturously charm their partners with cozy fireplaces, affectionate hugs, and, most of all, undying support and loyalty. (Nice but I actually need a lover to see if its true in my case)

And I am left with doubt with something. the rabbit is also refered as  the cat. Didn't the cat lose the animal race?

水Water 鼠Rat

When water rats talk, people listen. Commanding and eloquent, always the center of attention, the Water Rats also have a soft side that endears them to the world.

When the world needs, Water Rats are there. Humanitarian fighters against hunger, illness, sadness, they try to bring happiness to others through their compassionate endeavors and smiling warmth. When the world wants a friend, it's the loyal and sincere Water Rat which draws them in. The Water Rat has a successful career but money-wise, it's pretty much middle of the road. Changing free-spending ways could lead to financial security if they are willing to make the effort.

Their natural charisma attracts members of the opposite sex like wildfire, but Water Rats often don't set their standards high enough and are quite indiscriminate in seeking love affairs, until they finally settle down later in life. Once this happens, they advance pretty far exhibiting oodles of charm with their loved ones.

Re: What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

I'm a Fire Rabbit too!!

Well, I definitely stand out from the crowd, but not necessarily the good way emot-rolleyes
People I know in high school love me, college, well, they're news to my "erraticity". I keep to myself sometimes, but when I'm with people, I won't stop talking emot-smile

Well, about the leadership thing, I don't really have it, because my group project partners last semester barely listened to me. Rather, they all crowd around this one guy who is polite and charming to every girl in the campus. Ah, well, their loss for choosing Flintstones over Metroid for go-cart designs.
So Fire Rabbits have what it takes to be rich and successful, eh? Well, I don't care about that. I would be happy enough if I can help people realize their true identity and dreams. That's why I wanna be a novelist emot-keke

I'll also have to disagree about the hard-working thing. There're times when I wanted to buckle down and get to work, and I ended up playing 4 hrs worth of video games(<-This implies the horrible karma of all-nighters emot-gonk, ah well, I have myself to blame for being procrastinator). But, I DO have a range of interest, especially in categories of music. And I do like all kinds of food I've eaten.

火Fire 馬Horse

Through all the moons of many a year, the Fire Horse is a dynamic creature, with a vigor that promises youth and freshness until the very end of life. The will and the spirit of the Fire Horse cannot be broken.

This Horse goes through life with philosophical patience and the ability to bounce back from adversity no matter how dire the circumstances. In times of solitude, Fire Horses also have an insatiable need for intellectual stimulation and they satisfy their curiosity for learning through reading, listening, conversing, and travel abroad. Fire Horses make inspiring leaders, revered and respected. They encourage their subordinates with kindness and just the right degree of strictness and work well with people in all stations of life.

Financial rewards fall in the middle ground, not too bad, not terrific, but always comfortable. Being in love with the Fire Horse brings pure rapture. These noble Horses are generous with their love, with hugs and kisses. Loved ones always know where they stand because Fire Horses demonstrate every day through their actions the love they feel deep within. Each day is a soft and tender love poem.

土Earth 蛇Snake

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.

I always suspected my ex-girlfriend (Gio has listened to my whining about her while we were breaking up) of being a Rabbit.  She was born in 1964, which is usually considered to be a Dragon year, but since she was born on Feb. 3rd, I thought she could be a Rabbit (the Rabbit description fit her better than the Dragon).  Now I know that she is a Rabbit, although really too late.

I am an Earth Pig (translate that into Afrikaans, and that becomes Aardvark) and so is my current girlfriend (we're both born in 1959, which probably means I'm the oldest person on the forum).  What is the Earth Pig description?

BTW, I love your current .sig.  I wonder what effect Haruhi would have on Ohtori?

土Earth  豬Pig

Pig people are friends for life. Their relationships are very deep, devoted, and rich beyond measure. The Pig people are noble and give and receive lots of hugs. They are gallant and extend old-fashioned chivalries towards people they meet. Pig People are quiet, studious, and thorough.

On the other hand, they have a quick temper and sometimes have to pay for their rash impulsiveness. However, no one can overcome their inner strength; they have such tremendous fortitude and jump the goal post very time.

The Pig will have an abundance of good fortune and an abundance of years. The Pig will know a life filled with serenity and riches.


Plum's X-GF was:
水Water 兔Rabbit

The Water Rabbit enjoys the immensity of solitude. Like typical Rabbits, the Water Rabbit is quiet, but don't let this fool you. Water Rabbits are always STRONG silent types. Beneath the passive reserve lies a smoldering ember ready to enjoy life to the fullest extent possible. In solitude there is peace, spirit, nature, strength, music, and a strong philosophical current that keeps anchor in the soul of Water Rabbit.

The Neon and Glitter People truly admire the Water Rabbits for their individuality, not unlike that of the lone rugged cowboy seen against jagged mountain peaks. Water Rabbits make friends easily, but have a tendency to be too trusting. Gullibility is not a safe trait to have! Water Rabbits are happy to find creative outlets through their very fulfilling careers. Their determination to rise to the top makes them well regarded in their fields.

When it comes to making money, it's "easy come, easy go" - money just slips through their fingers and Rabbits gasp with bewilderment, "Where did it go?" Time to find a good financial advisor. "Easy come, easy go" is also the mantra of their love lives. Falling in love too easily leads to heartbreak. Once they learn to hold back and find true love, they throw away romantic interludes for love everlasting.

If Haruhi existed in the SKU universe, then I could almost imagine that the duels that Akio set up to gain 'World Revolution' would really be an attempt to use special ritual magic in an effort to steal away Haruhi's god powers.

No, you probably read it right, but Chinese astrology has nothing to do with Western astrology. Hell, Western astrology gets more confusing every time I read up on it.

水Water 猴Monkey

Always the center of attention, Water Monkeys 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.
