Goat people have good taste and are quite charming and elegant
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.

Margot Fonteyn, Mikhail Gorbachev, Toni Morrison, Leonard Nimoy,
Pierre Trudeau, Katharine Hepburn, Boris Yeltsin
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.
WATER GOAT
Feb 5, 1943 to Jan 24, 1944
Feb 1, 2003 to Jan 21, 2004
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! This relationship will be
filled with love of the most abiding kind.
FIRE GOAT
Feb 13, 1907 to Feb 1, 1908
Feb 9, 1967 to Jan 29, 1968
Nary a cantankerous bone in the Fire Goat's body. Their lives are
filled with laughter, giggles, and fun surprises. The Fire Goat
possesses an unusual combination of traits of the introvert and
extrovert. Thoroughly enjoying their own company, they relish
solitude but also thoroughly enjoy the companionship of others.
They exude such warmth and energy, people naturally gravitate to
them, while respecting their needs for privacy. Straightforward in
all their dealings with people, Fire Goats show sublime kindness
because they know every person they meet is facing a difficult
battle. Courageous under fire, Fire Goats realize they need to make
big changes to banish the many obstacles that stand in their way.
For instance, they do not experience a smooth-sailing career. When
something turns bad, Fire Goats have to persevere to make
turnarounds, and they do just that. Financial fortune peaks in
middle age, but the Fire Goat has to be careful to make that
fortune last way into the autumn and winter of life, or else! But,
oh my, do Fire Goat ever experience good fortune when it comes to
Love! Mama mia! Affectionate, loving, and passionate, they never
part from their loved ones without loving words because they
realize they might be their last. Every day is living poetry!
EARTH GOAT
Feb 1, 1919 to Feb 19, 1920
Jan 28, 1979 to Feb 15, 1980
Earth Goats are like dancing daffodils, moving with kinetic
exuberance and joy. Like all Goats, 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 Goats
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 Goats 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 Goat 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.
