Chinese Zodiac

Well, since the Chinese New Year does not start on January 1st, the years/signs listed on the site Lightkeeper posted are slightly incorrect. According to that site, I am a Dragon, but, I'm actually a Rabbit, having been born on the first day of the Year of the Rabbit (30/01/1976). For anyone born in the first or second months of the year, this site is more accurate: http://chinese.astrology.com/?ice=ast,tabchi,sign. Thanks pah for the link.

Rabbit:
Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.

The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.

With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of self-worth and the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-won assertiveness, will help these happy creatures go far.

The most compatible match for a Rabbit is the Goat or the Pig.


Wood:
Like the rings of a tree circle out and expand through the years, so too do those born under the Chinese Astrology Element of Wood. You Wood personalities seek chances for growth and for renewal in all you do, 'branching out' (excuse the pun!) whenever possible. Your open, expansive mind makes you a compassionate and generous friend, colleague and ally. You understand the inherent value of what you and those around you possess, and your confidence allows you to act upon your beliefs.

While your strength forms the backbone of any social group or partnership you're a part of, you could have a tendency to be a bit too systematic in your thinking, and sometimes your passivity allows others to overwhelm and inhibit you. Don't let yourself be lost in a vast forest, an anonymous tree among millions of others. Make your mark on the world -- you're especially adept at business ventures.

It's funny... I completely fit the 'goat' characteristic, but not the 'earth' one, which 1979 is said to be. I can easily see water or or wood, but I'm pretty much the antithesis of earth...

Take one portion of fried rice and a cup of green tea. Go to the site in the morning and see if that cures the problem

Snake/fire

ironically my fiance is Rabbit/wood. :biglaugh:

Actually, not a bad thing. ;)

The Snake and the Rabbit have rather different ways of approaching the world, but they can still have a fulfilling, close relationship. Socially, these two are almost opposites: Where the Rabbit is timid and shy, preferring to entertain at home with close friends over going out and painting the town red, the Snake is very popular due to its innate charm, dangerous intelligence and sexy demeanor. However, both these Signs operate on a more intuitive than rational level. The Snake is known for its powers of intuition as well as its philosophical mind, and the Rabbit is known for its subjective view of the world. The connection between these two might well be cerebral, at least at first.
As lovers these two might connect initially through their minds but, especially if in love, their relationship could be very sexually and emotionally intimate. The Rabbit may be shy, but this Sign can also be very sensuous! Problems might crop up between these two based on their mutual tendency toward insecurity. The Rabbit needs lots of support from loved ones in order to feel stable, but the Snake may have a hard time providing that support, since this Sign suffers from its own brand of insecurity, which can often lead to jealousy or possessiveness in a relationship. Both Signs need to work on developing their own senses of self, a task they may be able to work on together.

As business partners, these two can make a great team. The Snake will likely gravitate toward the position of the front person, the one who charms the clients or customers and is a force to be reckoned with in meetings and power lunches. The Rabbit will make its influence known in subtler ways, such as keeping the office artistically decorated and comfortable. The Snake will likely have to be in charge of the finances, as money and other practical matters aren't generally the Rabbit's forte.

The Snake and the Rabbit share a compatibility of seven, on a scale of one to ten.
