Year of the Goat: Feature and Compatibility

The sheep, also often called the Goat, is the eighth in order in the cycle of the Chinese calendar. Energy “yin” is inherent in it, fire is considered to be its element. It is best compatible with the zodiac sign of Scorpio. Among its positive traits are peacefulness and sociability, kindness and hospitality, gentleness and romance. Potentially risky traits are impracticality and passivity, high suggestibility and emotionality that can turn in any direction.

As it should be according to the eastern horoscope, the year of the Goat happens with a frequency of twelve years. In the past, Sheep ruled 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 and 2003, the last time her year was 2015. Accordingly, now the year of the Sheep will again be pretty soon - you have to wait until 2027.

At the same time, it is correct not to equate the Chinese calendar with the generally accepted European one, because the beginning and end of the reign of each sign do not fall on the night of December 31 to January 1. In the Chinese calendar, the New Year’s date is a transitional one, it should be checked every time, especially since the duration of the year is not stable. So, we called the 2015 year of the Goat, but in fact her reign began already on February 14, and ended only on February 2, 2016.

It is customary for the Chinese to distinguish five types of elements associated with color for each sign - they also affect specific character traits, even if not as much as the sign itself. So, 1979 belonged to the Yellow Earth Goat, 1991 - White Metallic, 2003 - Black Water, and 2015 - Blue Wooden. Consider them briefly:

• the element of Metal gives Goat luck, artistry, authority;
• A tree introduces sentimentality, kindness, and a tendency to sacrifice;
• representatives of Fire are distinguished by pride, determination, energy;
• Earth Goats - good performers, optimistic, self-sufficient;
• The element of Water gives its representatives the opportunity to "go with the flow", charm, flexibility.

The characteristics of people born under the sign of the Sheep are approximate - it should not be taken as an axiom, because the sign of the zodiac and even upbringing influence the character. Nevertheless, most of the inclinations in one or another combination are manifested in each such person, so we will consider what can be expected from the Goat.

The positive features of the representatives of this sign include the following.

• The desire to avoid conflict - The goat is unlikely to start arguing or quarreling, it is better to give up its point of view than to confront, and if the disagreement still took place, then it will initiate reconciliation, even if it is not to blame for what happened.
• Sociability - This feature of the Sheep usually finds a response among others, because it is a pleasant, gentle person who does not bear negativity. But with a good sense of humor.
• Kindness “A goat is unlikely to refuse to help a loved one, if only it is in her power, and sometimes it even hurts herself, because some people are not embarrassed to use it.”
• Hospitality - that’s who will always be glad to guests and will gladly drop any other business, just to pay attention to the visitors and treat them with something.
• Addiction to romance - this is the person who likes to arrange romantic surprises and, in general, is trying to build relationships in the best traditions of beautiful cinema.

Of course, even from the above traits, not everything should be considered unconditionally positive - sometimes they harm the Sheep itself. Of those characteristics that are more likely to interfere with her in life, we highlight the following.

• Passivity - The goat is not inclined to make fateful decisions, it’s often a person who simply goes with the flow, which doesn’t always end well, so he wouldn’t be bothered by a companion who can try on the role of leader.
• Impracticality - The goat does not know how to save money, it diverges with ease, but not for useful things, but for all sorts of trinkets, which is why the representative of this sign is very likely to be a debtor.
• Emotionality and unpredictability - a soft and non-conflict Sheep hides its discontent for a long time, but this does not mean that it is basically incapable of it, and when the negative reaches a critical point, a powerful explosion will immediately occur, the consequences of which can be devastating.
• Gullibility and Suggestibility - the passive Goat instinctively searches for strong personalities who can direct her on the “right path”, while she is guided by charisma, not logic, because of which she becomes a victim of deceivers. Moreover, she, succumbing to someone’s influence, tries to spread the newly opened point of view among her friends.

It is difficult for a man born under this sign in life - everyone expects great achievements from him, while he, in accordance with the “goat” specificity, is characterized by excessive infantility and is usually not ready to take responsibility. For such a guy, a woman will be a good couple who would not have disappeared by herself, but ideally she would also be able to guide a potential husband. Please note that it is extremely undesirable to shock such a person with a list of potential responsibilities at the first dates - do not be surprised if he escapes from such a nimble lady.

With the above qualities, which can be considered negative, do not turn a blind eye to the positive from such a relationship. Despite a wide circle of contacts, a man will not look for another woman - at least his inertness does not contribute to this at all. Besides, he does not like scandals and any aggression against him at all, and if you do not cut him and limit him too much, he will turn out to be an obedient and friendly husband.

For everything else, such a man is not an avid careerist, and crazy wealth is also not an end in itself for him. This guy will be completely satisfied if he just has money for food and housing, he does not chase “show-offs” in any form, so it will be extremely difficult for lovers of jewelry with him.

As you could understand from the foregoing, Goats are characterized by many features that are generally considered more suitable for women in society, and if not everyone likes a man with such a character, then this is almost the optimal set for a girl. This is a classic lady from the high society of past times - she has a unique femininity and a tendency to sentimentality, she is sensual, but at the same time easily vulnerable. By its behavior, such a lady often resembles a child, and this feature in many Sheep does not disappear even at a very mature age.

Weak and defenseless woman. The goat predictably needs a man who can provide her with proper custody. For this reason, Kozochki often choose an older husband for themselves - in their understanding, he has completely matured, "wiped himself" in life and knows how to get out of any difficult situations.

One side, with Sheep is not easy - her childish character is prone to whims, she has a lot of whims, and she loves only the one who will pamper her. On the other hand, one cannot but admit that this is a rather simple recipe for success, because the Kozochka not only needs attention, but also really appreciates it - if she sees that the partner is trying for her, he will be able to know what complete surrender is in love. Those around, as a rule, have every reason to envy such a couple, because from the side it looks perfect, and inside it is quite consistent.

Women love to complain to friends about their man, but not the Goat - she will never put you in a bad light. Her gentle and non-scandalous nature, as well as the innate femininity, will make many men sincerely envy those who have got such a life partner. She has one more hidden plus - a weak and inert person in difficult conditions is still able to get together, and if a guy needs help, the girl will do everything to provide at least a rear.

This romantic nature is conquered exactly as described in old books - by the method of beautiful courtship. First of all, the attention of the man should be demonstrated, including the little things - if a girl casually said that she would like something, fulfill a dream, and she will be impressed.The fair sex will appreciate flower bouquets and romantic candlelit dinners.

A child born in the year of the Goat, on the whole, has all the same features as adults, it just appears in his own way. For example, on the one hand, this is the same responsive and kind little man whose thirst for communication should provide him with a close circle of good friends. On the other hand, children are usually quite cruel, they like to demonstrate their superiority over peers, because sometimes the big problem is that the baby does not defend his point of view and, in principle, tries not to go into conflict.

Moreover, the inertia of the little Sheep leads to the fact that it can be considered an obedient child - such is unlikely to be capricious a lot, he will not go on a scandal with adults because of some petty nonsense. There will be no particular problems with studying if the elders say that it is necessary, but without external parting words the child does not always show a craving for knowledge - at least he does not see the goal of being an avid excellent student and be sure to enter a prestigious university.

It is incorrect to think that only the year of birth affects the character of a person - at least the zodiac sign has no less effect. Due to this combination, certain qualities are enhanced, while others, on the contrary, are leveled or balanced, therefore, the type of person should be considered in conjunction with the eastern horoscope and the zodiac.

• Aries, like any other Goats, it is friendly and peaceful, but it is impossible to offend him - he is vindictive and capable of revenge. This is a relatively purposeful person who spends a lot of effort on the realization of a dream. The activity and richness of life is his element.

• calf especially artistic, and in a good mood, he can become the real soul of the company. Alas, in a bad mood he becomes unrecognizable - this is a typical whiner and pessimist, in whom everything is bad, but anyone is to blame, only not himself.

• Twins Above all, they value two things - communication and new knowledge. Such people are energetic, but tend to act up and sort out, seeing faults in everything. This is not a loner, but noisy companies are not for him, a narrow circle of friends will be optimal.

• Cancer Sheep offending is even easier than snapping fingers, it is a melancholy person with regular mood swings. For him, the opinion of others is extremely important, but the criticism for the Cancer is murderous - from it the representatives of this sign become closed and sad.

• Lion sheep - A curious combination, almost a symbol of the balance between the two opposites. A big plus is their icy calm in any situation, while they are subtle psychologists and emotionally very attached to loved ones.

• Virgin goat - This is Chip and Dale, who are in a hurry to help everyone who just needs. The "girlish" organization eliminates the "goat" inattention and fussiness, so such a worker is good - he performs tasks quickly and quickly responds to any new conditions.

• Libra they almost never happen to be themselves - this is an eternal mask, and even the eyes of others constantly chained to it cannot penetrate under it. Such people are not devoid of charm, their eloquence does not look like pressure on the interlocutor, but subtly affects him.

• Scorpio surprisingly strong for the Sheep, but at the same time he is smart enough and adventurous to solve any problems in a non-conflict way without loss for himself. He is interested in everything new, so he does not like to sit still.

• Sagittarius - Another adventurer, everyday dullness just kills him.He is gifted with chic imagination, this allows him to understand all those around him and, using his own sociability, make friends. This is not a simple swimmer with the flow - he has a purpose in life.

• Capricorn - One of the most decisive options for Sheep, for which this trait is not too characteristic. For all his impulsiveness, such a person is not used to abandoning what he started halfway, and then he analyzes his emotional decisions for a long time and carefully.

• Aquarius at the same time balanced and a little eccentric, because of which it is both a pleasant and interesting interlocutor. In general, he is very calm, but occasionally “shoots” with unexpected decisions.

• Fishes differ in a certain degree of vulnerability, without extraneous support (both moral and material) they have a hard time. Moreover, such a person is distinguished by creative thinking, such people always remain interesting, since they are difficult to know until the end.

Sheep does not pretend to be a leader, and does not even possess organizational skills, because the boss usually does not work out of her. At the same time, her obedience positively affects the performance of official duties - usually this is a good executive employee, whom the authorities appreciate.

For a team, such a member is also useful in many ways because he knows how to prevent conflicts between those around him. Everyone can let off a goat with a goat, because she always listens and regrets. Among her colleagues, she usually has enough friends and well-wishers.

Inert Goat is looking for someone who will take care of her, and she will love such a partner sincerely and with all her kind soul. She is usually introduced to a potential partner by mutual friends, for which they deserve gratitude. At the same time, Sheep does not show decisiveness here either - she does not take the first step, but expects him from the second side.

It is perfectly normal for Sheep to trust someone, to look for a strong shoulder to lean on, therefore her partner is simply obliged to be strong and decisive. If everything was fine in her family during her childhood, she will try to copy her organization into her life. Having chosen a limp partner, the Goat usually suffers, but does not dare to abandon him.

If you believe that the Chinese horoscope truly characterizes people, it turns out that you can predict in advance whether the union of two people will be happy and productive. In fact, it should be remembered that all people are individual and even a negative prognosis can be overcome if both want to, but it makes sense to consider the main compatibility and incompatibilities in order to know what to prepare for. Let's see with whom Goats have good chances.

• Rat for a Sheep - the option is usually unpromising. Representatives of both signs are not distinguished by their willingness to take responsibility, they need a stronger partner. So in common trouble they will constantly blame each other.

• Bull - Another dubious partner. Despite his ability to be a leader, he annoys Kozu with excessive obstinacy, while she herself is too calm for her soulmate and does not give her the necessary emotions.

• TigerLike the Bull, the Sheep does not fit. His leadership is too pronounced - he not only directs, but also punishes the “subordinate” for deviations from discipline, and after all, the Goat loves periodic antics.

• Rabbit (cat) - the first partner on our list, which you can and should even be considered carefully. Both are peace-loving and not at all prone to betrayal, so there will be no quarrel for such a couple. They rarely diverge - even if love has faded, they coexist further on the principles of mutual respect and friendship.

• The Dragon and Sheep could be a good couple, at least at first they are very interesting to each other. Only after some time incompatibility creeps out, consisting in the fact that each of them sees himself in the role of an object for admiration.

• Snake wise and inclined to understand her partner, but usually even she is not able to solve a situation in which both sides try to pull a common blanket over themselves. Because of this, such a union, even having arisen, usually breaks up.

• Horse attracts the Goat mainly because it is capable of working hard and productively providing for the family, which the Lamb really needs. In all other respects, they have little in common, so the poor Kozam Horses are usually uninteresting.

• Two goats they can greatly like each other, and their family harmony will envy others, but there is only one thing: both need a strong leader who is not. Because of this, a third one often appears in the equation, which is why the “goat” pair collapses. However, if two Sheeps burst together until adulthood, nothing could destroy their ideal relationship.

• With monkey mutual sympathy arises almost immediately, but no impressive prospect is expected. The monkey does not seek to show leadership qualities, but it is very changeable and optional, and for Goat it is a stop signal.

• Cock it requires complete submission to itself, and for a capricious Sheep this sometimes becomes a problem. However, if the feathered partner still gets complete control over the situation, both of them will most likely not regret it.

• Dog with goat - two pessimists who in the union will bring each other to the deepest depression. To break this rule, the Sheep will have to assume the role of a leader that is unusual for her.

• Pig She is inclined to see only good things in Koz, and for the latter this is almost the main condition so that a great return love can be expected from her. The harmony between the signs is complete, because their pair is promising.
