Oooh the stars!

Whyever would we try to do that?

I'm a Gemini, and I've always found it to be eerily true when I read descriptions, though I sometimes try to hide my less-appealing qualities.

 

"Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. When they are good, they are very attractive; when they are bad they are more the worse for being the charmers they are. They quickly learn to use their outward attractiveness to gain their own ends, and when striving for these they will use any weapon in their armory - unscrupulous lying, and cunning evasiveness; escaping blame by contriving to put it on other people, wrapped up in all the charm they can turn on. In their better moments they may strive to be honest and straightforward, but self-interest is almost always the victor. They are often skilled manipulators of language, in speech and writing.

 

Most Gemini have a keen, intuitive, sometimes brilliant intelligence and they love cerebral challenges, though their thoughts can often turn towards introspection or depression. But their concentration, though intense for a while, does not last.

 

In love they are fickle, not intentionally so but because of the basic inconsistency of their emotional nature, which has an amoral aspect to it. There is a side to Geminians which can become deeply involved emotionally, and another which stands back from a romantic situation, laughing at it and the people in it, including themselves while analyzing it intellectually.They like intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once they have caught the prey, they lose interest and look around for the next creature to pursue.

 

In less serious situations they make witty, entertaining companions, good acquaintances rather than friends."

 

I read somewhere, a small mention that Gemini were more inclined towards their own sex, and also were more likely to marry someone of a different ethnicity.

 

Hope you all, including other Gemini, found this interesting. ,

Gosh, wikipedia is making me blush...

Somebody do mine! If not, I'll claim to be born under the Nik!

I am aquarian .... but by the chinese calendar I think I was born in the year of pig, or so I remember from when I ate at a chinese restaurant (The table cloth had the info written on it )

I'm born in the year of the monkey. *eats a banana*

When were you born, jan?

Ajit!

 

Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.

 

A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.

 

Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.

 

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

Mmmkay ... thanks.

 

Is this according to the year of birth or the birth date ?

I was born in year of the pig, but according to my birth date, my zodiac sign would be a dog

[Marie 73]

In the Chinese zodiac it's based on birth year.

And it is also repetative over twelve years. E.g. I am a Tiger (1986) and 1998 are also Tigers. 1985 are Cows. I studied chinese philology for a semester... but I hardly remember anything

[jan 14]

1976... I'm sure that makes me something awful like a snake or a pig (sorry, Ajit, no offence, but I just don't like them!)

[Sivart Reborn 7]

I don't know my Western Sign, I think it's Taraus. I do know my Chinese one is the Goat/Sheep. Personally, looking at the zodiac, I almost fit the description of the Dog. All my friends even say so now. Hehehe...

You're a Taurus if your birthday is between April 21st and May 21st

Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around, Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in following its ambitions -- and maintaining control.

 

Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom. Seduction is one area where the Tiger is definitely king! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw appeal that's extremely attractive to other Signs. They're not just about attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear this feline.

 

A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce without warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. They can react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. This Sign's bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover.

 

A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is "moderation in all things." Once these cats can find their center and direct their considerable energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposed to racing through life), they will accomplish much.

 

The most compatible match for a Tiger is the Horse or the Dog

 

The tiger sounds like a great one to be for a music man. This is also what I think Moiraine would be, from that other WoT thread about this.

The Dragon is one of the most powerful and lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Its warm heart makes the Dragon's brash, fiery energy far more palatable. This is a giving, intelligent and tenacious Sign that knows exactly what it wants and is determined to get it. Dragons possess a certain natural, charming charisma that ensures they can always influence their peers and often find themselves the center of attention in social situations. This Sign is truly blessed, too; Dragons are considered to be very lucky in love! The Dragon's friends are always keen to hear what this firebrand has to say and when it comes to dispensing advice, the Dragon has the floor.

 

Its ego can get in the Dragon's way, but even so, this larger-than-life creature has a knack for initiating projects and keeping the troops motivated. According to Dragons, it's their natural born right to lead the way -- because who else could do it so surely and so well? As lucky as they are, Dragons have a good chance of achieving considerable material wealth during their lifetimes, although it isn't mere money that's this Sign's main motivation. Power is what the Dragon wants and truly believes it deserves. Dragons are quite the opportunists, forever searching for ways in which to consolidate their considerable power. Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakened Dragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.

 

The role of leader is the only one the Dragon wants, the better from which to give orders and be king of the hill. They make solid leaders, too, knowing instinctively what needs to be done to stay on top. Crossing the Dragon is never a good idea -- this beast can singe! A valuable life lesson for this clever creature would be to absorb the principles of flexibility, compassion and tolerance. Being high and mighty can serve to inspire others, but it also keeps Dragons from living their lives to the fullest. If Dragons can learn to balance their quest for success with an appreciation for the little things, their life will be more than worthwhile.

 

The most compatible match for a Dragon is the Monkey or the Rat.

 

You would make a much better Dragon Reborn than Rand for you are not a piece of wood. *nominates Jan as the next DR*

 

I think it is silly that so many of these say to deflate our egos! Egos are good. Arrogance is special and probably tastes like chocolate.

 

Trav!

 

Daydreaming all afternoon sounds heavenly to the Goat. This creative, esoteric Sign needs plenty of time alone in which to feed its Muse. Goats are generally most comfortable in their own minds (which other, more linear-thinking Signs may have trouble deciphering). This Sign makes a great craftsperson or artisan, or perhaps a teacher of New Age studies -- any occupation that allows its mind the full range of freedom. Goats tend not to be very well-organized, precluding many more dry business endeavors. In fact, Goats tend not to be very materialistic in general, finding plenty of riches in their own imagination. However, especially when in love, the Goat can be quite a lavish gift-giver.

 

Perhaps it's that artistic temperament that so often causes Goats to feel insecure, but the result is that these high-strung creatures need to feel loved and admired lest they start worrying incessantly. For this reason, Goats tend to have a hard time with romance; anyone who couples up with a Goat must know, this Sign has a sensitive streak a mile wide and can be subject to bouts of anxiety over seemingly inconsequential things. Goats need plenty of love, support and open reassurance from their lovers. If a relationship is marked by conflict, the Goat will often pull away -- either physically or simply by retreating into the safe haven of its imagination.

 

If the romance is going well, however, Goats won't hesitate to tell their partner what they need -- and they can be quite insistent about it! This Sign will definitely return the favor, however; the Goat has a luxurious side that delights in indulging a lover's every wish. Appearances are also important to the Goat, which may explain why these folks can spend hours primping and posing.

 

Goats would be well-served by learning to relax and let others run the show from time to time. Once they can be certain that their friends and lovers won't be gone when the Goat returns from its daydreams, life will be a field of daisies.

 

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

Goats are so cute. They are smart too! When I lived in this crappy little fishing village as a teenager they had stray goats instead of dogs. One stray goat used to come to the back door wearing little bows on his horns. Thinking back he reminds me of Siv!

[jan 14]

There has to be a mistake! I'm no dragon!
