The goat or sheep (sometimes mistranslated as Ram) appears in the Chinese zodiac (related to the Chinese calendar) as one of its 12-year cycle of animals. The Chinese term includes both sheep and goats. According to Chinese folklore, each animal is endowed with certain alleged personality traits. Goats tend to be shy and artistic.

Years Of The Goat

1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027

People born in the Year of Goat are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac's other years. But goat year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life.

They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in.

Goat people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Goat people are wise, gentle, and compassionate. They are compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses.
