Goat Chinese Zodiac Signs
Table of Contents
The zodiac system originated in China and has its ardent followers across the world, especially in Asia. Though it possesses similar attributes to the western zodiac system, the concept and the calculations are night and day.
The Chinese zodiac system uses the lunar calendar as its reference point. It divides time into a repeating twelve-year cycle, and various zodiac signs represent each year of this twelve-year cycle. So, in total, there are twelve Chinese zodiac signs, and each of them is represented by various animals and mythical creatures like a dragon.
It is believed that the year represented by any particular zodiac animal will have the characteristic features of the animal itself. It is possible to even premonition the future of the people born in a particular year by analyzing the year’s zodiac sign.
Out of the twelve zodiac animals, some popular ones are tiger, goat, rabbit, dragon, etc. Each animal is represented in order, and references to the order can be found in Chinese folklore and legends.
The goat represents the eighth zodiac sign in the Chinese zodiac system. The Chinese zodiac goat has always been associated with kindness, compassion, and purity in Chinese legends, and the people born in the goat years are also observed to be quite gentle. There are mentions of a one-horned goat who assisted the Chinese God of justice in the old legends.
The goat is associated with the earthly branch of the lunar calendar. It is represented between 1 to 3 in the afternoon every day. The last occurrence of goat years was in 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943, and so on. The next goat year will be observed in 2027.
Like the zodiac animal, goat people are very gentle, sweet, and kind. They maintain proper etiquette and hope not to break any rules in place. They remain with a benevolent heart even in the middle of hardships and suffering. Goats are featured by their thoughtful nature, strong belief in God, enthusiasm, and ardent interest in anything artistic.
Although goats appear to be subtle and gentle, they possess a strong heart enough to fight through all the maladies that come their way. Being quite introverted, they prefer to be in a peaceful and familiar environment rather than spending time with or making friends with strangers.
Their attention to detail and interest in following the rules make them highly reliable to others. As they do things thoughtfully and gently, people depend on him much for favors and help. They are quite brave and extremely energetic and generous too. At times, this general nature is taken for granted by many around the goats, and they are mostly taken advantage of.
Another major merit of the personality of the goats is that they are highly spiritual and unshaken believers. Nothing can shake their belief, and they abide by the rules set by their religion. They take care of money very seriously and do not spend it on unwanted matters. At times, this financial discipline turns out to be a habit of frugalism, and it would be better if they could avoid such extremity.
The shortcomings in the personality of the goats are innate pessimism, dependence on others, falling for the false praises of others, and essential shyness. The introverted nature of the goats may hinder the growth they deserve, and as mentioned before, the borderline frugalism can also make them unappealing to others. They also find it difficult to stand up for themselves when put amidst an argument. They prefer to keep silent so that the argument will get over soon.
The basic nature, behavior, personality, and fortunes of goats can change according to the element under whose influence they are in. Each lunar year is assigned with a mineral, which can alter and add many attributes to the people born in that particular year.
