Born in the Year of the Goat

Born in the Year of the Goat

This is above all a ‘feminine’ sign. People born under it, elegant, charming, artistic, and fond of nature, could be the most delightful of all – if it wasn’t for the fact that they are also pessimistic, hesitant, over anxious worriers!

The goat is never happy with his lot. The fields over the hill are always greener. Friends and colleagues become exasperated by his whims: he is a nuisance without knowing it. His lack of self-control and the mysterious delays which beset his life make people lose patience with him easily, and thought he can make himself agreeable when he wants to, more often he takes advantage of others- sometimes even living entirely at their expense.

On the other hand, the Goat sets no great store by independence and can adapt himself easily to any kind of life – so long as it brings him a minimum of security. Shy, feminine, sometimes effeminate, the Goat is none the less ready to complain for he loves to be guided, to be advised, to be the center of attraction, despite his eternal hesitations, evasions, and complaints. He never knows which way to turn, and always leaves the decision to others.

The Goat’s manners are good and he has charm: it is only his nature that is so capricious. Those born under this sign are frequently religious – but what ever religion it is, it will only be practiced to the point where it interferes with the Goat’s comfort and everyday routine. He’s not prepared to put himself out for it- though he is often drawn to the fantastic, the supernatural, occultism… and the reading of horoscopes!

The goat settles down with a Cat, a Pig, or a Horse, all will be well.
