Kurado must be a fucking dog.
 

Okay, just hit the link and see what sign you are in case you don`t already know. I`m a rooster.

But be careful. The signs don`t go strictly by the year but by the lunar cycle that starts anywhere between late January and mid February. Generally 1981 is year of the Rooster, but Sassafrass, who was born early in January of 1982, is also a Rooster. Check the dates in the link!

ROOSTERS UNITE WITH ME

You's lookin' at a dragon here. Fear me.

Edit: correction, You's lookin' at an Earth dragon here. Fear me.

Rabbit. Dammit. The element associated with my birth year is Fire, making me, effectively, "Fire Rabbit". Much of it fits my personality, much of it doesn't.

Who else got Rabbit? Let's discuss our rabbitness.

I am also a fire rabbit, apparently. How awesome.

I am a rooster as well. Although I have come across some Chinese horoscope materials use the term 'cock' instead. As amusing as it would be to introduce one's self as a cock, the consequences may not be worth it given the amount of mace and stun guns being wielded by the populace.

Dragons represent! Earth Dragon, normally I don't pay too much heed to horoscopes and what not but the whole friendship thing they brought up pretty much hit the nail on the head. roar... although I wonder if earth dragons can also spew fire... maybe we just spew magma or something.

Robo Sheep says "Bleet, bleet, bleet."

Ox right here. I guess it's rightfully so.

Another flaming rabbit here. Like with all the horoscope stuff I've checked out, though, I don't really fit the descriptions.

I'm a damn dirty rat.

I'm a snake. I remember being jealous of my older friends 'cuz they were dragons and dragons are WAY cooler. :/ They're like snakes but bigger and more awesome.

I'm a flaming rabbit. XD And it says I'm extroverted when I'm really not.

God damn. It says I'm a Water Pig. :(

Im a Rabbit. According to my chinese restaurant place mat, that means im artistic.

I already know what I am. Fire Snake here. I don't believe in this stuff, but there are some things for Fire Snakes that matches me. Scary.

I always thought I was a cock, but here I am, a metal monkey.

...I always thought I was a cock...
...I just don't feel like a monkey...

Yeah, I'm a Wood Rat. I first learned this from my Faith, Fiction, Film, and Feminism course last year as our class read Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club, probably the only piece of literature I liked in college. Anyway, yeah: wood rat.

And some excerpts from the horoscope description I feel are true:

Feb 2, 1984 to Feb 19, 1985

-Rat people are so charming and attractive they are always surrounded by friends and admirers.
-Known as Perfectionists, they never want to lose face.
-It takes an understanding friend to get them to "put on the dancing plumes." -Rat people have vivid imagination and are known for creating extraordinarily magic moments in time.
-Rats enjoy being leaders and pacesetters and usually enjoy extraordinary success in life.
-Wood rats don't care about firecrackers and whiz-bam-boom special effects. -Somewhat introverted and shy in social gatherings, Wood Rats nevertheless make a big impact when it comes to career, finance, and entrepreneurial projects.
-A big ego keeps this one focused on the big picture, talking only when necessary to make the next move.
-The enterprising Wood Rat knows and lives the rules in human dynamics: compromise, flexibility, "playing it by ear," the Golden Rule, and generosity. In the Love Boat, don't expect the Wood Rat to whisper a lot of sweet nothings; again, still waters run deep.
-They don't need words, they ACT their love, showering affection, kindness, and respect on their loved ones, who love them in return.

Yeah, so that's at least 90% of the whole thing. Rat for life, I guess.

Earth Snake.. Interesting. I'll have to contemplate this for a little while. >_>

I was previously unaware there were different types of the same animals depending upon the year. I'm apparently an Earth Dragon.

Really, I only think half of that applies to me. Though, that's the thing about zodiacs. Not everything is going to apply to one person in most cases.

I knew I was a Monkey--but an Earth Monkey?

Damn....

*eats bananas and throws poo at you*

I'm an Earth Snake. The description pretty inaccurate though. Especially for a large amount of people who've been born in that year.

I join you in Earth Snakedom. Pretty lame I guess, though it did nail my love of music. Where would we be without the Chinese?

Metal horse. MY RADAR HOOVES PREDICT DANGER.

Another fire rabbit here. Wow that...almost describes me. I'm nothing like the description until I get comfortable in a crowd. Then I'm like a fire rabbit. Otherwise I'm quiet and nervous about so many little things it's a joke.

I have no idea on the poll, but taking a browse at the link sure is interested

gooooo wood rat!

i mean...mouse ._."

I'm a Metal Rooster. Yeah, that's right ladies....hard cock. ;P

I'm also a Libra.

ElectricSheep, I´m both as well. Your birthday must be right around now.

Judging by the poll, most people are 1987 rabbits. Fuckers. Only four roosters.

A lot of us rabbits, eh? I'm a fire rabbit...so basically, I'm the shit.

I'm an Earth Dragon, apparently. That's kind of cool I guess. I've always known that I was born in the year of the Dragon, but I never knew there were also elements you could be.

Fire Tiger. It'd be very serious-sounding if it wasn't for the fact that the description says the first thing you notice about a Fire Tiger is its fucking eyebrows. Thanks for making me self-concious, Garden of Sun Luck.

Metal Horse. And like the zodiac, the entire description fits me to a T. wierd.

I'm an Earth Lamb.

This is pretty neat. I've never payed attention to the chinese zodiac before but that described me pretty darn well I think. I'm somewhat quiet, pretty much get along with everybody (or try to), try to be friendly. This is really cool OO. :)

Ditto

Kinda lame, though.

I mean, at least it wasn't a fucking lamb. Oh man

Well now I just feel shitty. Thanks a lot. :(

No, but you're a cool fucking Earth Lamb. I mean, you're all natural, come on now.

Wooo! Earth Dragon!
...
...
...
Oh crap, never mind, I don't believe in horoscopes.

Another earth dragon has realized himself.
I always knew I was grouped under dragon, but I had no clue that you had an elemental assignment depending on the particular year.
Too bad there's no holy element, hehe.

I don't normally believe in these things, but the Chinese have been studying this for thousands of years. I guess that gives them some credibility in my book. The description of the dragon is almost dead-on with me.

As I'm sure it is with the other 6846841539684615684 people that are also "dragons"

Don't you guys know anything about the psychology behind generalization?

Works wonders for psychics.

I thought that too. So that's why I read some of the other zodiacs before I posted that. Of course the environment where a person grows definitely changes things but perhaps my environment fostered my personality to be close a dragon's. Could be coincidence, who knows?

Any of you ever hear about one of the element/animals being frowned upon in Chinese Society? Like, if you`re a firedog you basically became an outcast? Forgot where I read that.

I'm an Earth Lamb apparently. Yeah, a hippy-pothead lamb ;_;.
"Lamb people have good taste..." No shit, lamb tastes great especially the way I cook it with my mystical herbs and spices.

I prefer to call myself a ram, since that sounds more thrusting and virile, UNGH, UNGH!

Metal Horse checking in. I always knew I was fucking metal. :rock:

Roosters for the win, damn straight. ;) And I'm a Metal Rooster no less, get me.

Fire tiger here, whatever that means.. Endangered and in flames. What can get worse.

Wood Ox. I already knew I was an Ox but I had no idea that wood was involved.

That's false as hell. I hardly ever talk (I've probably talked more on the internet than I have in my entire life) and I keep a lot of my feelings to myself. I also don't care much for my family and resent them for not being as civilized as I. :snoot:

I knew I'm a rabbit...but just found out I'm a fire one. I see quite a number of fire rabbits as well...

Then again, the descriptions are pretty inaccurate for me as well.

Wood Ox.

"Great fun these Wood Oxen, with their marvelous sense of humor that patches up just about everything in their path, winning chuckling friends along the way. Like typical oxen, they are open-minded, with a "laissez-faire" philosophy towards others. They conduct their own lives with a strong moral code and receive and deserve admiration and trust for their integrity. Practical all the way, Wood Oxen never make rash decisions and are always considerate of the needs of others. Another story is money! Finances are not too stable because of that old devil Credit! Why, they would buy a dinosaur if they were just offered one with a dollar down and a dollar a week. Not only that, they lend money to friends, not a good idea! Despite a volatile financial life, their careers are pretty successful. Since they are generally such quick learners, all they have to do is control their impulsive spending and try saving for a change. When it comes to moonlight and roses, Wood Oxen have it made. Because they are such good communicators, they know that nothing chills a romance like a cold shoulder. They talk over differences right away, never letting trifles build up into resentments. Wood Oxen are very devoted to their family and family life is rich with treasure."

I found myself disagreeing in some statements but whatever.

Wood Ox. I suppose most of what's written is true for me. Although I don't think I'm a good communicator. People are constantly trying to derive the point of whatever it is I'm talking about.

I'm a metal monkey. Now imagine a chimpanzee rocking an electric guitar. That's not me. Some of the description sounds like me, or like things I'd be flattered to believe sound like me:
I guess so, but this?
That's a big WTF right there. Horoscope says: "EAT MORE RICE."

Im an Earth Dragon. I think dragons are cool and all, but what element could be gayer than Earth. What is an Earth Dragon, I mean really?
