土Earth 龍Dragon

If you make friends with the Earth Dragon, you have a friend for life! Friendship is a big-time commitment which they show through uncommon kindness, caring, and giving spirit.

When youngsters, Earth Dragons are valued by their teachers and playmates and when older, by their superiors, colleagues, and social circle. It's no wonder! Hardworking and talented, these well-rounded Dragons have a lively imagination which transforms the atmosphere. They are able to do many things well and receive many accolades during their very successful careers and good money to boot. These Dragons are wildly impulsive in money matters. If they see it, they buy it. When they buy it, it's out of sight out of mind, forgotten in the toy box.

Not too late to change these wasteful spending habits, you know! Like most Dragons, those of the Earth don't like to rush Love. They like doing what comes naturally, steady rhythm, beginning from friendship and igniting into the exhilaration of falling in love when it's time. Earth Dragons want long-lasting relationships, not tumbling tumble weeds. After the male dragon has gotten over his playboy stage, he is the biggest convert of all to the joys of the everlasting Relationship.

金Metal 馬Horse

From evening clothes to blue jeans, from the opera to country and western, the Metal Horse is the epitome of a chameleon.

Twisting and turning to new experiences, these Horses will go wherever adventure beckons, always bursting with enthusiasm for their very active and productive life. Because of this, their social circle includes some of the most interesting people with opposing and refreshing points of view. Conversation is a high art. Their natural intuition keeps them in lively sync with people they meet.

Metal Horses are also very talented people, whether it be in sports, managing the bottom line, or dancing their own interpretation of hip hop. They are most resourceful; if they don't know about a subject, they find the time to learn about it. They never have to lose precious time worrying about what might have been. Although they are very serious and responsible workers and have successful careers, they experience a volatile financial life, up and down, up and down. Although they certainly never have to go begging, they need to exercise financial restraint to keep their lives on a stable course.

Love life for the Metal Horse is fine in every respect. They make loyal and understanding partners and they receive the best in return!

金Metal 羊Sheep

The bright moon nearly always comes to shine upon the Metal Sheep. Courageous, these hearty souls know their share of trouble, but nearly always recover to rise like stars.

The Metal Sheep 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 Sheep 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 Sheeps give in to a gambling nature, they can lose it all in a flash.

Word to Metal Sheeps: Watch out! When it comes to Love & Relationships, the Metal Sheep falls in love over and over again, too often confusing physical sexual love with the real thing. Until Sheeps get control over their lusting ways, relationships won't last very long once the honeymoon is over.

水Water 狗Dog

Water Dogs are real charmers, easily attracting friends and colleagues into their inner circle. Handling the ins and outs of human relations is so easy for them! They know how to smooth over any personal situation with their kind, honest, easy-going nature. Always empathetic, always rational, their ability to play Devil's Advocate helps open up whole new ways of approaching problems and finding solutions.

Their views on life are expansive because of an ingrained wanderlust which has taken and will continue to take them to exotic locales about the globe. They adapt like chameleons to new environments and new people and their lives are all-encompassing, full of rich adventure. Financial and career success comes to the Water Dogs later in life -- just watch these late bloomers burst open! Regarding their love life, when it comes to dating and romance, their temperature ranges from hot to cold, from one extreme to another.

Sometimes they want a commitment, other times they run Geronimo. But, when true love finally comes, and it will, they have it made. Their relationships are filled with good honest communication and genuine kindness and total caring for their partner. Marriage will be as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar.

水Water 豬Pig

Some days Water Pigs throw caution to the wind, playing life "by ear" going wherever tumbleweeds go, hither, thither, never resting. Other times, Water Pigs exert every energetic atom of their being into Big Causes, making life beautiful for others with lots of delightful surprises. Career-wise, the older Water Pig has achieved great success because of sheer hard work and sense of responsibility.

The younger Water Pig is successful in school, scoring high on achievement tests and holding leadership roles in student government. A bright future awaits them down the road! Because of innate frugality, the older Water Pig is totally secure financially and the younger ones already know how important it is to save their money.

Wben it comes to love, the Water Pig carries a Good Luck Charm which never lets them down, whether it's a serious commitment or going steady in high school, they are lucky in love and when the time is right, fall deeply in love. They shouldn't be in a hurry, it's worth waiting for!

土Earth 馬Horse

With head held high, the mighty Earth Horse never has to apologize, never has the pangs of a guilty conscience gnawing away the very soul. The life of the Earth Horse passes all scrutiny.

Earth Horses are elegant, spirited, and adventurous creatures. Poetry in motion! Earth Horses are among the most generous and caring of friends, tolerant of their friends' shortcomings, never judging, never showing cynicism. They blend the right balance of sympathy and empathy. As faithful and unwavering as the Horses are in their devotion to friends, it is important to tell you that they are never weaklings or martyrs. Their inherent dignity and pride demand honor and admiration.

Earth Horses appreciate the good things of life and because of their dedication to their careers, have the financial resources to keep life on a steady keel. When it comes to Love & Relationships, life for the Earth Horse is exceedingly sad and dreary without love. The Earth Horse will go the extra length to please their partners. They love wild and romantic weekends and traditional whisperings of sweet nothings. They pass a happy life, their blood coursing with life bursting cadence.

金Metal 雞Rooster

Sometimes this one walks around with its head in the cumulus clouds, higher than the stars. You see, this rooster struts around with peacock feathers and they never ever ruffle. So much arrogance can make it hard to get along with others, especially when the Rooster is also intolerant of those who are less talented and a bit slower than normal.

On the other hand, the Metal Rooster is extraordinarily talented. Of all twelve Zodiac signs, this one is probably the most high-minded of them all, with a very clean line of thought. The Metal Roosters can distinguish right from wrong very clearly and it doesn't matter which direction they pursue, they always wind up going the right way.

If they confront a maze, or big problem, they will immediately see a solution because of their analytical, logical way of thinking. Through their perseverance, any hurricane becomes an orderly thing of beauty, just like that! When it's time for romance, the male Metal Rooster has no trouble at all, love just abounds; the female has a tendency to keep to herself, making connections less freely, but lastingly when they happen.

木Wood 牛Ox

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

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

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

土Earth 羊Sheep

Earth Sheeps are like dancing daffodils, moving with kinetic exuberance and joy. Like all Sheeps, these creatures are wonderful to socialize with, you just can't help loving their friendly ways and enthusiasm for living. They make lemonade out of lemons, velvet out of porcupines, and find serendipity everywhere. All their friends and colleagues get caught up with this passion.

As you can imagine, they make the best of traveling companions. Earth Sheeps are honorable in all their dealings; they roll up their sleeves and do whatever it is that must be done. They know true contentment because they can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear. Earth Sheeps love good books and spend many happy hours seeking treasures in used bookstores.

This serious nature also applies to their college years and careers, which they pursue with utmost dedication, hard work, and diligence. At some point in later life, they are rewarded with unexpected financial fortune. What a cozy twosome the Earth Sheep makes with a love partner. Relationships are filled with exquisite warmth, gentleness, and tenderness, with magical threads of sensuality taking them on beautiful carpet rides.

Uhh, thanks Tamago.

You know, my zodiac sign is pretty much as i am, that's why i'm really proud of being a ram, but there's just one thing i don't share at all:

Falls in love over and over again, too often confusing physical sexual love with the real thing.

i don't know why, it's really hard for me just to like someone. And i just *can't* take my ex out of my head, even if time goes by.

I always get confused with this...December 1987 should be Fire Rabbit, right?

Eh... It's not really much like me. I'm not talented, and I suck at maintaining a conversation.

Bullshit.

You're brilliant! Your talent is being able to take things apart and analyze them. You're easily one of the best analytical minds I've ever encountered. Now if only we could harness your power for evil....I mean, good!

EDIT: I'm a Metal Monkey, BTW.

I'm also a metal horse. :3

If anything this description has told me about myself, is that I always seem to be an exception that confirms the rule. All of it is as false as false can get. If people would let me, I'd allow my whole life to pass by without doing anything, even less socializing, meeting people, experiencing new things or being talented. Also, I'm dysfunctional when it comes to being resourceful... I just run to my older brother when I need help. X3 It's nice being me, isn't it?

Except that I'm not very funny, except in a malicious way. Although the money thing is spot on. I spent way too much in Seattle, and I spent nearly all of it on other people.

Mmm...cashmere....

I'm not even in it. *sigh*

Earth Monkey!  That's as close as it gets to the Stone Monkey (er, Handsome Monkey King).  Perhaps THIS is why I'm enjoying plowing through Journey to the West so much?

If i may ask who are you quoteing... Aiko? Touga? other?

I'm a water rat....... but I like to call that a mouse.  The word in Chinese can be translated to both "rat" or "mouse".  It is the same word.  *chu!*

And yes, I'm very much a mouse person, from what I've read about it before (from many sites and practically on every chinese monthly calendar circulating in chinese households these days).
