Socially, domestically and
politically, people belonging to the Sheep category are the least likely to
make waves. They respect order and pay attention to rules and regulations
that are laid down by laws and by society. Whether it is because Sheep are
such nice and pleasant people or whether it is because they are born under a
lucky star, fortune seems to favor them. It is quite possible that because
they are so mild, unassuming and whimsical, they would not be capable of
making their fortune in life by their own efforts. Yet many seem one way or
another to attract success and money whether through legacies, patronage or
popular acceptance via the mass media. Consequently, this popularity and
success makes for an easy life where Sheep are concerned.
Endowed with innate
intelligence and artistic talent, the Sheep will fare well in business. Sheep
are good-natured and altruistic. However, their successes are often limited
to money; in family matters they may flounder. They can be a bit too
undisciplined and at times show a morose, misanthropic side. Although Sheep
prefer an uncomplicated, easy life, free of conflict or problems, if danger
appears, especially when it is a matter of saving their own life or that of
others, Sheep are extremely combative and put up a ferocious battle. Life's
circumstances influence the Sheep's actions and disclose startling contrasts
in their seemingly impassive natures. They leave decision-making to others,
but cannot be forced to follow a path they do not like. Their lack of self
control and the mysterious delays which beset their lives make people lose
patience with them easily. And though they can make themselves agreeable
when they want to, more often Sheep take advantage of others, sometimes even
living entirely at their expense. Though their perseverance and impeccability are
admirable, Sheep must be careful not to let determination turn into stubbornness, and
independence into isolation.
Sheep are frequently religious,
but whatever religion it is, it will only be praticed to the point where it
interfers with their comfort and everyday routine. They are not prepared to
put themselves out for it, although Sheep are often drawn to the fantastic,
the supernatural, occultism and the reading of horoscopes.
Generally, those born in the
Year of the Sheep are attracted to the Arts and many are highly creative. But
they are practical too, so that for them Art must also be functional and,
conversely, everyday functional objects must also reflect inherent beauty.
Couple their talents to their manual dexterity and it is not difficult to see
why so many Sheep-born people are gifted craftsmen and women. With their
strong artistic inclinations, it is not surprising that Sheep-folk have a keen
eye for beauty and that they simply adore exquisite things. Just as
psychologically they need peace and harmony, so physically they need to be
surrounded by beauty both in their living and working environment. Without
pleasant or conducive surroundings these people could so easily become
depressed and dispirited. Because of this one negative Sheep trait is a tendency to overindulge in
beautiful things. There is a saying "Sheep eat paper," meaning that the Sheep spends more than he
earns. Sheep don't believe in saving money and would rather overspend on luxuries.
Thanks to others, the Sheep will
generally land on his feet. So great is his talent for knocking on the right
door, he will have no problems with what the Japanese call
I-Shoku-Ju, the life of the senses. If you have a
nice country home full of good things and good conversation, frequented by
artists, don't ever let a Sheep through the door -- with his love of creature
comforts, you may never be able to get rid of him!
The Sheep often struggles in youth. The second phase of the Sheep's
life will be tempestuous romantically, but there will be a lot of luck in
old age. This is because all the good deeds that the kind-hearted Sheep does for others
return to him.The Home-Loving Sheep
Romantic problems are often
frequent in the life of the Sheep and because of this he may experience
emotional agitation. In matters of Love, it is the Sheep's heart which rules
its head. These people work best as part of a team, so a secure, stable and
loving relationship is essential for their emotional well-being. Perhaps
more than any other sign, Sheep are home-lovers and are tailor-made for
marriage and family life. Next to love and security, they crave peace and
harmony, consequently they will bend over backwards within their
relationships to keep things running smoothly. As they hate discord of
any kind their partners shouldn't ever expect them to get embroiled in an
argument for these people will simply retreat into silence. As lovers they
can be clingy and dependent. They like to associate with others stronger
than themselves. Highly sensual, they adore physical contact; however,
despite all their need for tranquility, partners of Sheep should note
that these people want what they want and will all too often wear down
opposition with protestations in order to get their own way.
Sheep women dream of marriage
with a rich man, an affaire with a generous boyfriend, or a liaison
with some influential patron. Failing this, she will be happy living at
home with wealthy parents. She is the stuff of which are made courtesans,
prostitutes, management consultants, public relations officers and other
parasites. She is also the stuff of which great artists and writers are
made. Everything depends on her luck and the influences at work in her life. She is generally
fortunate in marriage and makes a valued partner, is often praised by in-laws, and is
willing to help a mate without fighting for power.
Sheep would be especially
happy with the Rabbit, the
Boar or the
Horse, yet they are capable of living
with practically all the signs. However, the materialistic
Dragon and the critical
Snake consider Sheep too passive for
their likes. The Ox has no patience with
the Sheep and should be avoided. In love or business, a union between the Sheep and the
Dog is destined to fail as they are both
too pessimistic and bring out the weakest qualities in each other.
August is the month of the Sheep.
The time of the Sheep is from 1:00 p.m. to 2:59 p.m.; their direction of
orientation is south-southwest. The Sheep's color is pink.
