The personality of the Sheep (or the Goat) in Chinese astrology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sensitive and gentle, Sheep\u2014also called Goat by some Chinese astrologers\u2014are quiet and (seemingly) timid types who might seem not of this world. Like sheep, they often have a cloudlike puff of hair, or even an angelic aura. Their imaginations are vivid and amazing. Timid and self-protective, Sheep harbor many insecurities. To guard against pain, they may isolate themselves from the wider world, or hide behind a false persona. In truth, they\u2019re only comfortable around a few trusted people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tending to internal issues is paramount for Sheep, who need deep healing to cope with life and find their own resilience. More than any sign, Sheep are prone to chemical addictions, like Kurt Cobain and Mel Gibson. Like sheep, they follow the herd and should choose their friends wisely. To stay healthy, this sign must incorporate people, habits and activities that reinforce their strength and keep them grounded in reality. Art, music and acting can be powerful outlets into which Sheep can channel their bottomless emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
