Description
Do you know what the meaning of 'goat' is? Look it up. The domestic goat is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily - Caprinae. What is a 'goat' in the Chinese zodiac? Here is how it is interpreted.....
Personality
Occupying the 8th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Goat (or Sheep) symbolizes such character traits as creativity, intelligence, dependability, and calmness. Comfortable being alone to ponder the workings of their inner minds, Goats enjoy being part of a group, but prefer the sidelines rather than the center. Their nurturing personality makes Goats excellent care-givers. They�re quite and reserved because they spend much time absorbed in their thoughts.
Home and alone is where Goats feel most comfortable. There they can express themselves artistically, whether it�s by painting, cooking or participating in whatever artistic endeavors they enjoy. Goats prefer the couch because there they can relax and explore their minds. They don�t need elaborate furnishings; only items reflecting their desire for art.
When traveling or seeking entertainment, Goats prefer groups or venues that hold many people. Goats spend money on fashions that give them a first class appearance. Although Goats enjoy spending money on the finer things in life, they are not snobbish.
Health
Perhaps because Goats are basically serene, they tend to have fewer health problems. Their fragile exterior hides the fact they�re typically very healthy. When they�re happy, they�re healthy. When Goats become unhappy, especially as a result of romance, they quickly become sick.
Relationships
Goats tend to be private, so it can take effort to get to know one. The Goat is the one who will decide when and with whom it will share its personal life. As a result, most Goats have few �close� friends, yet they�ll work hard for those they love.
I am not really a goat but this lovely animal choose to model a 'head shot' for me.....
