Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Pisces Sheep

The final sign in the Western zodiac is the metaphorical octogenarian, the dreamer Pisces. This is traditionally a time of contemplation, as the psyche prepares to let go of corporeal existence. Pisces have a special appreciation for creativity, beauty, and individual experience, set against the vastness of time and space. Simple shared occasions can, for these generous and empathic souls, convey universal significance as cherished moments of intimacy and belonging. Admittedly, the often extreme sensitivity of Pisces does involve some challenges. The variable element of Water is at its most inconstant in the Mutable modality of this sign. Pisces can be unreliable if tasked with work they consider a waste of their aesthetic ideals. They are easily overawed by crowds or complex emotional cross-currents, and can be dangerously prone to escapism or isolation. However, if Pisces and those close to them are able to navigate this sign's sensitivity and changeability, then their innate wisdom and perspective promises much happiness and aesthetic achievement.

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.
