Goat people have good taste and are quite charming and elegant Â… and rich. You may find them the center of attention at a stylish dinner party, ravishing all with incomparable wit and bon mots. The opposite is also true: they are often quite shy and sometimes prefer complete anonymity, the quiet life at home with a good book, a roaring fire, and the joys of the palate. A creative flame burns in their lives and you may find them before a canvas experimenting with bright bold genius strokes of paint. Sometimes, they tend to be pessimistic and question the meaning of life, wondering "why they dwell among green mountains." They are quite often deeply religious or spiritual and quite passionate about their work and their belief.

METAL GOAT
Feb 17, 1931 to Feb 5, 1932
Feb 15, 1991 to Feb 3, 1992
The bright moon nearly always comes to shine upon the Metal Goat. Courageous, these hearty souls know their share of trouble, but nearly always recover to rise like stars. The Metal Goat 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 Goat 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 Goats give in to a gambling nature, they can lose it all in a flash. Word to Metal Goats: Watch out! When it comes to Love & Relationships, the Metal Goat falls in love over and over again, too often confusing physical sexual love with the real thing. Until Goats get control over their lusting ways, relationships won't last very long once the honeymoon is over.

Sometimes in life you meet somebody so remarkable, you want to shout it to the world. The very charming Water Goat is such a person. The surefooted Water Goat is irresistibly appealing, the sort of person you might spend happy moments with seeing elephants in cloud formations, while lazing about on the beach. Or, on the other hand, discussing politics and current affairs with conviction and clever repartee. Living life with courage is a tall order, but this the goat does with unerring strength and beauty. The Water goat is also a remarkable leader, smart and capable, never giving up long or short range goals. Luckily, these Goats don't encounter much difficulty at all in careers, but they sure do with money. Financial life is pretty volatile, but thank goodness, their spouses know how to make money. Which leads us to the important area of Love & Relationships. Water Goats like to be taken care of, pampered without having to do too much in return. They like assertive partners who make all the arrangements. Of course, there are partners who are perfect for them, the ones who give without expecting anything in return. Quite a pair! This symbiotic relationship has its share of romantic escapades and tender moments but must be on guard against becoming lop-sided in the give and take department.
WOOD GOAT
Jan 24, 1955 to Feb 11, 1956
The successful Wood Goat has the horsepower of an optimist and the emergency brakes of a pessimist. The Wood Goat has a burning ambition that keeps his or her career path always moving upwards towards the mountain top. They are multi-talented jugglers, excelling in whatever endeavors they pursue. Super organizers, they can solve even the toughest of problems. Because of their laser focus, they always generate results. Financial Life is not too bad either! They have the opportunity to make really big money and must constantly be on guard not to let opportunities pass them by. In the Love & Relationships arena, Wood Goats are blessed. Many divorces are caused by the marriage of two people who are in love with themselves. This won't happen with Wood Goats, who love their partners more than life itself. They take great pains to please their loved ones, who, however, may not ever hear whispered sweet nothings from their Goats. The Wood Goats, you see, don't wear their feelings on their sleeve. It's hard for them to talk about love but easy for them to show it. And show it they do, with countless acts of kindness and courtesy!
