Claim to Fame: In the race to determine their zodiac ranking, the Sheep arrived as part of a trio who helped each other get across the riverbank. Together, they overcame several obstacles and concocted a raft to get across river. The Sheep was named 8th as the first part of this trio.

Personality
People born in the year of the Sheep are most often seen as artistic. They tend to fail at businesses and cannot help their creative nature. Sheep people will most likely pursue careers in art, design, or fashion. They are very sensitive, sometimes to their own detriment. Sheep are even more cautious than the Rabbit, and will do anything to prevent someone’s feelings from getting hurt.

Elements
Despite the Sheep’s cautious nature, they are associated with the Fire element, which represents passion and adventurous qualities. 2015 will be the year of the Wood Sheep, so those born in the year of the Fire Sheep and Water Sheep will have a good year. Earth and Metal Sheep will have a hard time and may end up working harder to get their ambitions across.

Tomorrow: The second out of a trio of animals that helped each other get across the bank: The Monkey!

*Because the Chinese calendar runs on lunar cycles, each year starts and ends on a different date. Therefore, if you were born in January or early February, your zodiac animal might be different that you had originally thought. Fortunately there are tables and websites that will help you find out exactly which one you are!

**Since the zodiac animals also are associated with certain months and seasons, one can have an “inner” zodiac animal. For example, I was born in the year of the Ox (1985), but I was born in the Pig’s month (November). So the Pig is my inner zodiac animal. You can further break this down by the exact hour you were born, which gives you your “secret” animal.
