What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

Just for the fun of it, it would be interesting to see what signs people in this forum are and find out if it really fits you or not.

Here is the list.

1960 Jan 28 = 1961 Feb 14 金 Metal 鼠 Rat
1961 Feb 15 = 1962 Feb 04 金 Metal 牛 Ox
1962 Feb 05 = 1963 Jan 24 水 Water 虎 Tiger
1963 Jan 25 = 1964 Feb 12 水 Water 兔 Rabbit
1964 Feb 13 = 1965 Feb 01 木 Wood 龍 Dragon
1965 Feb 02 = 1966 Jan 20 木 Wood 蛇 Snake
1966 Jan 21 = 1967 Feb 08 火 Fire 馬 Horse
1967 Feb 09 = 1968 Jan 29 火 Fire 羊 Sheep
1968 Jan 30 = 1969 Feb 16 土 Earth 猴 Monkey
1969 Feb 17 = 1970 Feb 05 土 Earth 雞 Rooster
1970 Feb 06 = 1971 Jan 26 金 Metal 狗 Dog
1971 Jan 27 = 1972 Feb 14 金 Metal 豬 Pig
1972 Feb 15 = 1973 Feb 02 水 Water 鼠 Rat
1973 Feb 03 = 1974 Jan 22 水 Water 牛 Ox
1974 Jan 23 = 1975 Feb 10 木 Wood 虎 Tiger
1975 Feb 11 = 1976 Jan 30 木 Wood 兔 Rabbit
1976 Jan 31 = 1977 Feb 17 火 Fire 龍 Dragon
1977 Feb 18 = 1978 Feb 06 火 Fire 蛇 Snake
1978 Feb 07 = 1979 Jan 27 土 Earth 馬 Horse
1979 Jan 28 = 1980 Feb 15 土 Earth 羊 Sheep
1980 Feb 16 = 1981 Feb 04 金 Metal 猴 Monkey
1981 Feb 05 = 1982 Jan 24 金 Metal 雞 Rooster
1982 Jan 25 = 1983 Feb 12 水 Water 狗 Dog
1983 Feb 13 = 1984 Feb 01 水 Water 豬 Pig
1984 Feb 02 = 1985 Feb 19 木 Wood 鼠 Rat
1985 Feb 20 = 1986 Feb 08 木 Wood 牛 Ox
1986 Feb 09 = 1987 Jan 28 火 Fire 虎 Tiger
1987 Jan 29 = 1988 Feb 16 火 Fire 兔 Rabbit
1988 Feb 17 = 1989 Feb 05 土 Earth 龍 Dragon
1989 Feb 06 = 1990 Jan 26 土 Earth 蛇 Snake
1990 Jan 27 = 1991 Feb 14 金 Metal 馬 Horse
1991 Feb 15 = 1992 Feb 03 金 Metal 羊 Sheep
1992 Feb 04 = 1993 Jan 22 水 Water 猴 Monkey
1993 Jan 23 = 1994 Feb 09 水 Water 雞 Rooster
1994 Feb 10 = 1995 Jan 30 木 Wood 狗 Dog
1995 Jan 31 = 1996 Feb 18 木 Wood 豬 Pig

eg: 火Fire 兔Rabbit

The Fire Rabbits stand out from the crowd of other Rabbits. You might expect Rabbits to be passive, quiet, and loners. Not so, the Fire Rabbits. These extroverts are leaders of the pack! 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, 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.  Excellent lovers, they rapturously charm their partners with cozy fireplaces, affectionate hugs, and, most of all, undying support and loyalty.


If you tell me what sign you are, I can post the information for your element and sign.

EDIT: Spelling errors

Re: What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

This is for _J_ who is a 火Fire 蛇Snake

The Fire Snake is like a meteor in the sky, brilliant and alive.

With spellbinding eloquence, the Snake converses with conviction on a broad range of topics, but realizes that good conversation lies as much in the listening as the talking. The Snake does both very well, raising communication to a very high and elegant art. People love to be in the company of this very graceful Fire Snake, who is always pleasant, provocative, humorous, and quick witted.

With split second reflexes, they are constantly conceiving new ideas and coming up with new schemes. This entrepreneurial spirit makes headlines and the Fire Snake is much admired. Because of their ambition, perseverance, and infinite patience, and wise financial moves made early in life, their fortunes grow steadily. By the time middle age arrives, financial fortune is truly theirs. Relationships follow the same path, through faithfulness, perseverance, and willingness to make relationships really work, the future is always bright.

Thats pretty much right.  Up until and including the infinite patience part.  All the stuff after that, about the money and stable relationships, not so much.

Re: What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

I'm a Wood Rat.

This sounds bad, how come I can't be Fire Snake, that sounds so deliciously phallic.

木Wood 鼠Rat

Wood rats don't care about firecrackers and whiz-bam-boom special effects.

Still waters run very deep! Somewhat introverted and shy in social gatherings, Wood Rats nevertheless make a big impact when it comes to career, finance, and entrepreneurial projects. A big ego keeps this one focused on the big picture, talking only when necessary to make the next move. The enterprising Wood Rat knows and lives the rules in human dynamics: compromise, flexibility, "playing it by ear," the Golden Rule, and generosity.

In the Love Boat, don't expect the Wood Rat to whisper a lot of sweet nothings; again, still waters run deep. They don't need words, they ACT their love, showering affection, kindness, and respect on their loved ones, who love them in return.

火Fire 虎Tiger

You see the Fire Tiger across the room, making a very dramatic entrance. Suddenly you are mesmerized by the eloquent eyebrows, yes, eyebrows, of that very vital face. So expressive, this face is positively on fire! Wait a bit longer and you will be caught up in hearing laughter that goes right through the bones and catches you up in it.

The Fire Tiger is a thrilling person to know, full of enthusiasm for every aspect of life, optimistic to the core. Even cloudy days are seen for what they are, simply vibrant grays on the verge of exploding into sunshine. Fire Tigers are leaders in the best sense of the word, honest and fair with everyone. They love being boss.

Fire Tigers get over any financial difficulties they might encounter very quickly. Although they might not possess great fortunes, they certainly enjoy comforting financial security throughout their lives. The Charismatic Fire Tiger is full of charisma and has no trouble attracting love and finding lasting relationships. This Tiger loves to play and is enlivened by sensuality and passion. To know Fire Tigers is to love Fire Tigers.

Heh, sorry - I grew up in a place with an extremely large Asian-American minority, most of whom were Chinese.

Re: What is your Chinese Zodiac type and sign?

When I was younger, I was always disappointed that I was born in the year of the goat/sheep because it was so boring compared to the other animals. Then, one day I was at a Chinese restaurant when something occurred to me.

Razara: "Hey, Kealdrea, we were born in the year of the goat." emot-keke
Kealdrea: "... What? You're happy about that because of Shiori?" o _o

Actually, I really hate that nickname, but I was glad to finally have at least a small reason not to dislike my sign. Besides that, apparently I'm the Metal Horse since I was born before the Chinese New Year.

Hey! Goats are my favourites animals! (apart of wolfs) Sheeps are boring, Goats aren't ;D

Plus, the goat of Fruits Basket rocks my socks, that boy really knows what's life for. Since i'm a kid, i've been always sad because everybody got plushies of their favourites animals, and i couldn't!
