Because of the 2015 resolutions thread, I did some digging into the Chinese Zodiac symbols.
I used to believe, through very limited information, that I was born in the Year of the Rabbit. Partly because all anyone ever told me about the Zodiac (even those supposedly well versed in it's theological history) was being born in 1987 was The Year of The Rabbit.
Turns out, because my date of birth is before January 29th, I was actually born in the last few weeks of The Year of the Tiger. Year of the Horse. and a Taurus here ~
Tiger:
Quote: "Born leader" is the key word for the Tigers. They are always in the lead and are most likely the ones to cry out "Let's Go"! Noble and Fearless, Tigers are respected for their courage, even from those working against them.
Tiger people are daring fighters, they are capable of standing up to the better end for what they think is right. Although they could be selfish from time to time in the little things, they are capable of great generosity.
Tigers are unpredictable, always tense. and like to be in a hurry. Tiger people are difficult to resist, for they are magnetic characters and their natural air of authority confers a certain prestige on them.
They are tempestuous yet calm, warm-hearted yet fearsome, courageous in the face of danger yet yielding and soft in mysterious, unexpected places. Tigers are very confident, perhaps too confident sometimes.
Although they love adventures, and are addicted to excitement it is better not to challenge a Tiger's confidence. They likes being obeyed and not the other way around. Because Tigers are urgent people and always in a hurry to get things done right, they usually choose to operate alone. Tigers like to work, they are hard-working and dynamic. If you assign a task to a Tiger, the job will be undertaken and accomplished with enthusiasm and efficiency.
Tigers make money, but they are not directly interested in money. Still, the Tiger needs not worry about money: just when they fear the money is gone, more seems to show up. Tigers are sensitive, emotional. They are capable of great love, but they become too intense about it. They are also territorial and possessive, if you are a friend of a Tiger, they want you to take their side against the bad guys and because the Tiger is so adorable, you often do.
As lovers, Tigers are passionate and romantic, but the real challenge for the Tiger is to grasp the true meaning of moderation.
I'm year of the tiger, but I'm a virgo as well which is a total oxymoron. Bold, extroverted, and a leader ala tiger; but quiet, introverted, and prefers to be alone ala virgo.

I was born in the year of the Dog.
Traits: faithful, courageous, dexterous, smart and warm-hearted.
Strengths: They know how to keep secrets and inspire other people's confidence. Those people make good leaders. If they fall in love with someone, they would not change. They can be terribly stubborn with the right things.
Weaknesses: They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. They are irritable and usually bothered by unwarranted anxiety. They sometimes try to flaunt and be brave.

there is more to the chinese zodiac tho, it is just not the animal and you are set.
there is also the ELEMENTAL variation, so you wont end up the same element as the previous cycle of people born under that animal.
and as you mentioned, it is based on Chinese new year and not on the regular calendar.
In my case I am a Metal Monkey.

Occupying the 9th position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Monkey possesses such character traits as curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness. Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of practical jokes. Even though their intentions are always good, this desire to be a prankster has a tendency to create ill will and hurt feelings.
Although they are inherently intellectual and creative, Monkeys at times have trouble exhibiting these qualities. When that happens, they appear to others to be confused. But nothing could be further from the truth as Monkeys thrive on being challenged. Monkeys prefer urban life to rural, and their favorite pastime is people-watching.
Metal Monkey – Years 1920 and 1980
Metal Monkeys are determined and ambitious individuals and as a result, they’re often successful. Although they’re considered warm-hearted and very likeable, their preference in life is to be alone. Metal Monkeys are loyal to both their employers and their partners.
@ Weaknes:
also, the regular zodiac can be too generic by just saying "Virgo", there is also a variable of ascending descending planets, time/place of birth and ***like that. heck, prolly your name is also a variable (?)

Bah I tried reading from many different sites, but the chinese zodiac really doesn't match me. Western one at least is close enough to pretend it works.
Must be cause I'm not chinese.

I prefer to go with the logic that what year and star set I was born under has nothing to do with who I am. And who I am is a series of events, some making more of an impact than others, shaping my attitude towards life.

I have a link(somewhere around here) to some astrological ***. really detail stuff. Idk man, my western zodiac says I'm a Scorpio with Taurus ascendent, and something in the sun. It tends to cover me fairly well.
Chinese says I'm an Earth Dragon...and just doesn't ring any bell. Maybe there's more to see in that too than just the year and month, but I dunno what.

Maybe you're a stingy, bullheaded, dragon that sifts through the sands of time?

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
