Chinese zodiac: Goat

  • Creative
  • Gentle
  • Empathetic
  • Artistic
  • Shy
  • Indecisive

Because the Chinese word "yang" can mean goat, sheep and ram alike, this animal is translated in different ways in different sources; in Turkish it is usually called Keçi, the Goat. What the sign's versions share is a mild nature, compassion and aesthetic sensitivity. People born in the Year of the Goat are understanding, imaginative and attentive to those around them; they love living close to art, music and nature.

Insecurity and indecision are the Goat's sensitive spots. It can be hurt by criticism, may withdraw under pressure and may need someone else's support in matters of money and career. In a safe, supportive environment its creativity shines. When it sets its boundaries and believes in its own priorities, its gentleness becomes the basis of a strong balance.

Love and relationships

In love the Goat is tender, artistic and loyal. It does not enter a relationship without an emotional bond and expects support, kindness and thoughtfulness. When it feels insecure, it shuts down or quietly accumulates hurt. It is sensitive to its partner and makes its home beautiful and peaceful. It is compatible with the Rabbit, Pig and Horse; with the Ox, expectations may clash.

Career

The Goat comes into its own in art, design, music, education, healthcare and caregiving. Working in a pressure-free environment with creative freedom suits it well. It may struggle in competitive workplaces with rigid hierarchies. Building the habit of financial planning and keeping a high sense of its own worth support its success.
