Chinese Zodiac Signs (Part III)

In Chinese culture, there are twelve zodiac symbols that correlate with the year you were born. Based on astrology, these symbols can affect your personality and future. Today, we will be discussing four of the zodiac signs: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit.

Rat

People born under the Year of the Rat (1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) are typically highly intelligent, quick-witted, and resourceful. They have the ability to take what they have and make their materials into something worthwhile. However, individuals with the zodiac of the rat do not make good leaders. Their lack of command and courage prohibits them from speaking out.

Ox

Individuals born in the Year of the Ox (1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) are honest, patient, and determined. They are always trying to better themselves and advance. They are typically methodical. On the contrary, those have the zodiac of the ox have poor communication skills and can sometimes be considered stubborn.

Tiger

Those born in the Year of the Tiger (1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010) are usually brave, competitive, and have great confidence. They make great leaders. In ancient times, emperors were often compared to tigers. However, they can also be seen as irritable, authoritative, and judgmental.

    I have been following this series of articles and each one is equally if not more fascinating than the last. One of my sisters was born in the year of the rat so learning about the qualities of people born in the year of the rat have. It is funny that several of the qualities you listed can be used to describe my sister.
