THE RAT
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Charming, sociable, resourceful, quick-witted, ambitious, and crafty.

(from the book "What's Your Chinese Love Sign?" by Neil Somerville)

IN LOVE:

"Romantic, attentive, affectionate - hard to resist.

The rat may not be considered the most endearing of creatures, but it is resourceful, intelligent and alert.  As are those born under the first of the Chinese signs.

Governed by charm, he has a friendly, sociable nature and a good understanding of human nature.  The Rat knows how to put others at ease and is invariably popular.  A keen socializer, he enjoys attending parties and functions and has a good appreciation for the finer things in life.  He can also be crafty, manipulative and driven by ambition.  He likes to keep himself continually busy and one of his main aims in life is to improve upon his present situation.

The Rat is a private individual and will not allow others to pry too closely into his own concerns.  He likes to retain a certain independence in his actions.  The Rat is a survivor and even when events go against him, he will often be the first to pick up the pieces and look for new challenges.

Being sociable, the Rat values relations with others and makes friends easily.  He is supportive to his partner and will try to establish a close-knit family. He tends to have a large family and makes a loving and caring parent.  With his wide interests and fertile imagination he will encourage his children but will also be a good disciplinarian.

The female Rat has a lively and outgoing manner, but no matter how successful or busy she might be, her family always comes first.  The male Rat is confident and suave.  But behind his personable air lurks a sharp mind.

The Rat is the first sign in the Chinese zodiac and, with his charm and outgoing manner, he is invariably popular and well-respected."

FAMOUS RATS:

Lauren Bacall, Kenneth Branagh, Marlon Brando, Charlotte Bronte, Richard Nixon, William Shakespeare, Spencer Tracy, Doris Day, Albert Finney, Dennis Hopper, Sean Penn, Jeremy Irons, Charlton Heston, Jeff Bridges (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the RAT and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -

THE OX
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Resolute, strong willed, ambitious, careful, patient, stubborn.

(from the book "What's Your Chinese Love Sign?" by Neil Somerville)

IN LOVE:

"Loyal, caring and dependable.

Whether ploughing a field or pulling a cart, the ox is a strong and disciplined worker.  The second of the Chinese signs is governed by equilibrium and tenacity and has a calm, quiet and orderly manner.  While he may appear reserved, he is both resolute and tenacious.

The Ox sets about life in a cautious and methodical way.  He plans his activities carefully and does not like change or anything too gimmicky or innovative.  The Ox is a down-to-earth sort of person and while he may sometimes lack tact, at least those who come in contact with him know exactly where he stands.

The Ox is methodical, diligent and often a loner.  He likes to conduct his activities in his own way and to his own exacting standards.  The Ox also prefers to specialize and have set interests rather than engage in a wide variety of activities.

The lady Ox is a practical person.  She is keenly aware of her responsibilities and is supportive to her partner and her children. She also takes much delight in maintaining her home and others often marvel at her capabilities.

The male Ox is quiet but confident in his manner.  He may not be as outgoing as other signs, but he has a sharp mind and a steely resolve.

However, the Ox does have his weaknesses.  He can be stubborn and intransigent and does not adapt well to change.  He can be prejudiced, inflexible and intolerant, he also has an awesome temper, although fortunately it is only used on rare occasions."

"Oxen are among the best human beings around.  And they are often limitlessly talented in some areas which requires enormous concentration and application to detail." (Suzanne White's "Original Chinese Astrology Book")

FAMOUS OXEN:

Johann Sebastian Bach, Charlie Chaplin, Tim Roth, Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Hopkins, Napoleon, the late Princess of Wales, Jack Nicholson, Bill Cosby, Robert Redford (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the OX and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rat, Ox, Rabbit or Cat, Snake, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig

Bad -
Tiger, Dragon, Horse, and Goat 

THE TIGER
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Assertive, adventurous, independent, inventive, generous, restless and impulsive.

IN LOVE:

Sincere, passionate and a true romantic!

Proud, distinctive and ever alert, the tiger is a majestic animal.  Those born under the third of the Chinese signs are bold, enterprising and have little trouble in gaining the respect of others.

The Tiger has a lively nature.  He likes to keep himself active and often has a wide range of interests.  He follows the courage of his convictions and many admire him for his sincere and courageous manner.  The Tiger is open in expressing his views and cannot tolerate falsehood or hyprocrisy. He holds firm opinions and while he might expense advice to others, he rarely listens to that given to him, preferring to rely on his own instinct and intuition. With his enthusiasm, energy and determined nature the Tiger will often rise to the top of his chosen profession.

In love, the Tiger is a romantic.  He is sincere and open in his affections and has a passionate nature.  He will devote himself entirely to the person of his affection and feelings will be intense.  However, he does have a restless nature and in time his feelings may begin to wander.

The female Tiger has a warm and friendly nature.  She is 
outgoing, sharp, ambitious and versatile.  The Tigress takes an active interest in the education of her children and makes an admirable teacher.

At some time during his life the Tiger may be tempted to throw caution to the wind and go off and do what he wants to do: drop out of society for a time, travel the world or abandon his job to fulfil an ambition. The Tiger is a risk taker and a law unto himself.

FAMOUS TIGERS:

Richard Branson, Tom Cruise, Marilyn Monroe, Demi Moore, The Queen, Oscar Wilde, Charles de Gaulle, Germaine Greer, Hugh Hefner, Miles Davis, Isadore Duncan (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the TIGER and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -

Bad -
Tiger, Goat, Ox, Rabbit or Cat, Snake, Monkey, and Rooster

THE RABBIT/THE CAT
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Sociable, discreet, refined, shrewd, perceptive, sensitive, aloof.

IN LOVE:

Romantic, passionate and a good judge of character.

The fourth Chinese sign is governed by virtue and prudence and has a refined and sociable manner.  He prefers the quieter things in life and sets about his activities in an unflustered way.  He enjoys conversation and he often dispenses wise and shrewd advice.

The Rabbit usually has a happy and contented disposition.  He dislikes arguments and will do his utmost to avoid any sort of unpleasantness. He feels life is to be savored and he sometimes shuts himself off from some of the harsher aspects.

The female Rabbit carries herself with much dignity and is often an elegant woman.  She is softly spoken and has an affectionate nature. She frequently has a circle of close friends and is greatly admired for her discretion and understanding.

The male Rabbit is also popular.  Often good looking, he has considerable charm and his agreeable manner will win him many friends.

The Rabbit has a romantic and passionate nature and is likely to have many romances before settling down.  He is a good judge of character and usually makes a fine choice of partner.  Although they tend to have large families, the responsibilities of parenthood do not always come easily.  Some Rabbits find children a disruptive influence on their otherwise orderly lifestyle and have difficulty in coping with their more boisterous antics.

FAMOUS RABBITS:

Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, George Michael, Roger Moore, Frank Sinatra, Queen Victoria, Fidel Castro, Saul Bellow, Harry Belafonte, George C. Scott, Francis Ford Coppola, Ali McGraw, David Frost, Neil Simon (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the RABBIT/CAT and 
THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -

Bad -
Tiger, Snake, Rooster, Rat, Dragon, and Horse

THE DRAGON
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Active, determined, confident, enterprising, versatile, scrupulous and lucky.

IN LOVE:

Passionate, faithful and sincere but demanding!

Flamboyant, colourful and vibrant, the dragon makes a splendid leader of the carnival.  Governed by luck, this sign has a lively and outgoing nature, a quick mind and is possessed with much energy and enthusiasm. He is a doer and an achiever, and has a most determined nature.  With his confident and self-assured manner he has considerable leadership qualities.  The Dragon thrives on challenges and is constantly setting himself new goals.

Exuberant and confident, the Dragon tends to be at the forefront of whatever he is doing.  To some extent he is showman and he likes to be noticed and win the approval of others.  Similarly, in matters of the heart he will never be short of admirers.  He has style, grace and allure and with his lively and sociable nature makes fascinating company.

If he has children the Dragon can be a firm but loving parent.  He will be quick to spot where his children’s talents lie and will do much to encourage and support them.  However, he does have high expectations for them and sets high standards.  He also expects to be obeyed and woe beside any children who flout his authority.

The female Dragon is versatile and highly gifted.  She is popular, will have many friends and carries herself with considerable aplomb. The male Dragon is self-assured in his manner and keen to make the most of his abilities.

FAMOUS DRAGONS:

Jeffrey Archer, Julie Christie, Salvador Dali, Julia Ormond, 
Matt Dillon, John Lennon, Abraham Lincoln, Al Pacino, James Coburn, Che Guevara, Bernardo Bertolucci, Ringo Starr 
(and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the DRAGONS and 
THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rat, Pig, Goat, Monkey, Tiger, Snake, and Rooster

Bad -
Dragon, Horse, Ox, Rabbit or Cat, and Dog

THE SNAKE
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Thoughtful, wise, shrewd, intuitive, guarded, independent, 
sometimes lazy.

IN LOVE:

Passionate, seductive and possessive!

The Snake is governed by wisdom and has a sharp and penetrating mind. With a quiet and reserved temperament, he chooses his friends with care and does not willingly let others into his confidence.  He can be secretive and in many matters chooses to be his own master.  Some may find his manner cool and evasive but should they try to penetrate through his reserve they will discover a warm and gentle character.

The Snake is best suited to more cerebral occupations and often succeeds in careers such as teaching, politics, writing, science and the law.  He does not enjoy manual labour.  Ideally the Snake prefers to take his time in conducting his various activities.

The female Snake has style and grace.  She chooses her clothes carefully and often adorns herself with beautiful jewellery.  The male Snake, too, prides himself on his appearance and carries himself with considerable dignity.

With his wide interests, quiet manner and good humour, the Snake exudes charm.  He is romantic, seductive and passionate – almost the Don Juan of the Chinese signs – and he does not lack for admirers.  For some his possessiveness may become too overbearing, but many enjoy the love, affection and security the Snake gives.

The Snake has a complex personality.  Wise, alert, and refined, the Snake is his own man.  But behind this there lurks gentleness, good humour and powerful sensuality.  The Snake has much to offer and throughout his life he will endeavour to give of his best and make the most of his considerable abilities.

FAMOUS SNAKES:

Tony Shalhoub, Muhammad Ali, Kim Basinger, Tony Blair, Pierce Brosnan, Greta Garbo, John F. Kennedy, Pablo Picasso (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the SNAKES and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Ox, Rabbit or Cat, Dragon, Horse, Dog, and Rooster

Bad -
Rat, Tiger, Snake, Monkey, Goat, and Pig

THE HORSE
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Active, alert, outgoing, adventurous, eloquent, quick 
tempered.

IN LOVE:

To the Horse, love means everything.  Passionate, attentive and faithful.

The Horse is quick witted, has a sharp mind and wide variety of interests. He has grace, style and elegance and throughout his life he will put his talents to many uses.  With an adventurous spirit and engaging personality he makes friends with ease and is often the centre of attention.

The Horse’s social life is very important to him and he will have friends and acquaintances in many walks of life.  The Horse exudes a strong sex appeal and both male and female Horses never lack for admirers.  He has a passionate nature and when he is attracted to someone he devotes himself entirely to that person.  His whole being is affected and the Horse is totally and utterly in love.  The problem is that the Horse tends to fall in and out of love relatively easily and it takes someone special, someone who understands the Horse character well, to retain his affection.

The Horse has many fine qualities and is greatly admired and respected by others.  However, the Horse’s weaknesses can sometimes undermine his success.  Above all, he is restless.  He tends to jump from one activity to another and even abandon projects if something else catches his attention. He can also let his enthusiastic nature get the better of him and can act impulsively.  The Horse has sparkle, wit and a zest for life and while he may not be the easiest person to live with, life with the Horse is certainly never boring.

FAMOUS HORSES:

Helena Bonham-Carter, Sean Connery, James Dean, Harrison Ford, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Nelson Mandela, Paul Simon, Jack Benny, Jim Croce, Janis Joplin, Chris Evert (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the HORSE and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Tiger, Rabbit or Cat, Snake, Horse, Goat, Rooster and Dog

Bad -
Rat, Dragon, Pig, Ox and Monkey

THE GOAT
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Creative, artistic, considerate, generous, easygoing, sensitive, a worrier.

IN LOVE:

Amorous, affectionate and caring.

Governed by art, the Goat possesses a rich imagination, is creative and prefers the quieter things in life.  He has a kindly and caring nature and relates well to others.  The Goat hates any sort of discord and quickly shies away from arguments or awkward situations.

In his work the Goat needs an inspiring force behind him.  Without this the Goat often lacks the motivaton or drive to make the most of his abilities. However, once inspired the Goat can be diligent and careful worker.  He prefers to follow rather than lead and is not a risk-taker. With his artistic skills the Goat excels in any position which enables him to use his creative or imaginative talents.

The Goat has a genial temperament and makes friends easily.  Although he may be shy on first meeting someone, once he has got to know that person or feels confident in the group he is with, he can be talkative and witty.  He dislikes solitude and endeavours to have others around him.

The female Goat has a caring and considerate nature and is highly regarded by others.  She pours much love and energy into her family and home. The male Goat often has a casual appearance and a genial nature. He may not be as assertive or competitive as some, but his charm gets him far. 

The Goat often has a large family, but with his easygoing nature he is no disciplinarian and may not cope well with childhood tantrums. However, children will respond well to the Goat’s kindly nature and Goat parents are able to establish a close and loving bond with their children.

FAMOUS GOATS:

Jane Austen, Mel Gibson, Michelangelo, Robert de Niro, Rudolph Valentino, Andy Warhol, Pete Seeger, Mick Jagger, Barbara Walters (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the GOAT and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rabbit or Cat, Dragon, Horse, Goat, Monkey and Pig

Bad -
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Snake, Rooster and Dog

THE MONKEY
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Resourceful, charming, persuasive, amusing, sociable, cunning.

IN LOVE:

Captivating and knows how to impress!

The monkey entertains and intrigues and those born under the Monkey sign are similarly skilled at capturing our attention and winning our approval.  The Monkey is governed by fantasy and has a delightful sense of humour and persuasive personality.

The Monkey can do well in almost any line of work.  However, he is at his best when facing challenges or has some objectives to meet.  He soon becomes bored with routine and mundane tasks.  He can lack persistence; if he feels a goal is not within immediate reach, his interest can soon wane. The Monkey is action oriented and is more interested in the present and the near future than the years to come.

Having such an engaging manner the Monkey is popular with the opposite sex, but affairs of the heart do not always run smoothly.  Even though he may appear cheery and outgoing on the outside, he is adept at hiding his true feelings and emotions.  This can cause him emotional turmoil.

The Monkey truly delights in parenthood, particularly as it gives him the chance to rekindle the joys of his childhood years.  The Monkey often remains young at heart.

The female Monkey has a lively and vivacious nature.  Like her male counterpart, she is inquisitive and extremely versatile.  She has a persuasive manner and likes to lead an active social life.  The male Monkey, too, likes to impress others – he invariably succeeds.

FAMOUS MONKEYS:

Julius Caesar, Bette Davis, Michael Douglas, Mia Farrow, Tom Hanks, Peter O’Toole, Leonardo da Vinci, Elizabeth Taylor, Yul Brynner, Sylvia Plath, J.M. Barrie (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the MONKEY and 
THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rat, Ox, Rabbit or Cat, Dragon, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog

Bad -
Tiger, Snake, Horse and Pig

THE ROOSTER
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Meticulous, efficient, orderly, conscientious, intelligent, 
honourable, notoriously candid.

IN LOVE:

Sincere, caring and loyal.

The rooster commands attention, is orderly and vigilant and so, too, are many who are born under the tenth Chinese sign.

In his manner the Rooster appears confident and self-assured.  He is often given to flamboyant gestures and he likes to be in the limelight. He is sincere, honourable and trusting and can be fascinating company. The Rooster likes to lead an active social life.  Extremely well-organized, it is sometimes remarkable just what he can cram into a day.

Keenly intelligent, with a sharp mind and a good memory, the Rooster does well in his chosen career.  He is an adept and powerful speaker, but can be extremely candid in expressing his views.  Some admire his honesty, but others regard him as inconsiderate and abrasive.

Underneath all the flamboyance there exists someone who is not always as confident as he first appears; a person who is anxious to please.  It takes someone special to penetrate the barriers that he sets up around himself.  Although he may seem outgoing and highly sociable, he is in fact an intensely private person.

The female Rooster, the Hen, is highly conscientious and thorough in all she does.  In her work, the upbringing of her children or the upkeep of her home, she sets herself high standards and aims to please.  The male Rooster likes to impress and tends to wear distinctive clothes.

FAMOUS ROOSTERS:

Michael Caine, Dawn French, Goldie Hawn, D.H. Lawrence, 
Michelle Pfeiffer, Roman Polanski, Katherine Hepburn (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the ROOSTER and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rat, Ox, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Monkey and Pig

Bad -

THE DOG
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Honest, dependable, diligent, perceptive, selfless, caring, pessimistic.

IN LOVE:

Very loyal and dutiful but keenly aware of the feelings of others.

Whether as a pet, a farm dog, or protector of property, the dog has long been regarded as man’s best friend.  Many of the noble features of the dog can be found in those born under this sign.

Governed by loyalty and anxiety, the Dog has a dutiful and responsible manner. A good judge of character, he takes time forming friendships and is much admired for his sincerity, good nature and integrity.  The Dog inspires confidence and trust.  Although he may not be as ambitious as some other signs, he is often elevated to positions of authority simply because he has earned the trust and confidence of others.  Of all the Chinese signs, the Dog is one of the most selfless.

(This is from Suzanne White's book "The Original Chinese Astrology Book")

"The temptation to say that Dogs approach both work and play with Dogged determination is difficult to resist.  Dogs' social and business events are meticulously planned.  From food to music and proper lighting effects, entertainment offered by a person born in a Dog year will be well-prepared and efficiently run.  Sometimes, Dogs pay so much attention to detail, they tend to find themselves drowning in it.  This is particularly noticeable in their conversation, where they may employ a clipped or sharp tone.  When asked about a specific subject, Dog people sometimes launch into accounts of all infinitesimal minutiae that surround the central point of discussion.  The original question somehow gets lost in the shuffle.

FAMOUS DOGS:

Gary Oldman, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Cher, Kurt Vonnegut, Pierre Cardin, Norman Mailer, Alan Arkin, Leonard Cohen, Gene Wilder, Elvis Presley (and many more). 

COMPATIBILITIES with the DOG and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit or Cat, Snake, Horse, Pig and Dog

Bad -

THE PIG
KEY CHARACTERISTICS:

Sincere, pure, tolerant, and honorable.

IN LOVE:

Careful and caring, obliging and chivalrous.

The Pig is born under the sign of honesty. He/she is very popular with others and enjoys other peoples's company. He/she is a joiner and likes clubs and societies. He/she will be a loyal member and will never shirk his duty as a club member. He/she is an excellant fundraiser and loves to be involved with charity work and humanitarian groups. 

The Pig is a hard worker and is well respected for his integrity, honesty, and reliability. People recognize these traits in the Pig and he/she is valued for them at his/her work place. He/she is known for his/her unselfish giving of time and energies to anyone who needs them. He/she is a kind and understanding person who is known for his/her peace-maker abilities. He/she tries to avoid discord and unpleasantness and always strives for a peaceful solution to problems. He/she hates falsehood and deception and will not tolerate injustice or illegal pursuits. However his/her forgiving nature makes him/her a liberal when it comes to law and order issues. He/she is never vindictive and will forgive and forget very easily.

The Pig has such a generous nature that he/she is an easy mark for those who will take advantage of a generous person. He/she is rather naive and gullible and can be taken by unscrupulous persons. If this happens it causes the Pig to wise up and learn from his/her mistakes. He/she will become more self-reliant from this experience and a little less trusting, which will be a good thing. 

FAMOUS PIGS:

Al Capone, William Randolph Hearst, Ernest Hemingway, 
Humphrey Bogart, Lucille Ball, Henry Kissinger, Peter Lawford, Julie Andrews, Woody Allen (and many more).

COMPATIBILITIES with the PIG and THOSE WHO ARE NOT:

Good -

Bad -
