Chinese Zodiac
The Sheep

The eighth sign of the Eastern zodiac, the Sheep (or Goat), is the very definition of the artistic temperament. Sheep natives tend to be effortless in their command of creative expression, and to have a sixth sense for negotiating the most challenging of conceptual terrains. In person, they are delightfully social, sparkling conversationalists with limitless generosity and an infectious love of idyllic surrounds. Here and there, the Sheep personality is prone to being somewhat erratic. If anything, inspiration is more likely to strike at midnight than midday. Sheep natives are no strangers to crippling self-doubt, and are extremely sensitive to being overborne by threats or pressures. Ultimately, though, if people born under this sign are able to build resilience and find the tranquility they need, the love and kindness they infuse into their work and lives is a gift to all who experience them.

In the middle ground, with plenty of potential but some reticence, are signs from the Trine Families that the Sheep does not share a direct connection with. These include the Dragon and Monkey, and the Rooster and Snake. The Chinese zodiac makes some harsh judgements about unfavorable energy connections. For the Sheep, these are their Opposition sign, the Ox, and their Adversary, the Rat.
