Chinese Zodiac: The Goat
Oh, Gracious Goat, your sign is the most creative. You are truly gifted, possess a flair for the aesthetic, and enjoy being in tune with nature. You are artless, hardworking, and intuitive. When you’re relaxed, you could teach "take it easy" courses. But before you do anything, you must be provided with security. You need to feel loved, protected, and be grazing safely in a fertile field. Without structure, you're uncomfortable.
You are an eccentric, and something of a winner, too. You don't mind struggling and striving in an effort to reach a noble or tangible goal, but you hate adhering to schedules or performing repetitive, routine chores. You need lots of ready cash, yet you scorn budgets.
A formidable ambivalence divides your basic need for security and your longing for total freedom from stressful limits. Goats are generally very delicate. Your good manners, wiles, and charm will go a long way towards finding that person, group, or profession that offers you maximum protection and allows your talent to thrive. Try your hand at poetry, research, or, better still, just lie back, relax, and embrace a bohemian lifestyle. You would make a perfect hippie.
