    Dragons, Roosters , Tigers , Monkeys and Dogs

    This could be amusing ...

    What constellation are you born under in the Chinese zodiac ?
    According to Taoist legend , the Jade Emperor devised this as a systemof identifying the movements of the stars and gave them to animals , which would revolve in a 12 year pattern.He held a race to determine the fastest animals - the first twelve to cross a river would be chosen to represent the twelve earthly brancheswhich make up the cyclical order of years in the lunar calendar. People born under the different signs were suppposed to possess the characteristics of their particular animal - for example ,the Monkey's intellect ,the Dog's loyalty , the Ox's shyness etc.

    In order :

    The Rat - generous , intelligent and hardworking , but can be petty and insecure - years - 15.2.1972-73,2.2.1984-19.2.85,19.2.1996-6.2.1997.

    Doesn't really fit me. But that's probably because I was born nowhere near China.

    I'm a Dragon, though only by a month.

    I'm certainly not athletic, but the other ones more or less fit me. None of that really matters to me though, I'm simply happy to be the coolest creature of the lot.

    Charming and suave don't exactly describe me too well, at least not most of the time. Enigmatic and secretive, I suppose so. I bottle a lot of things up. I wouldn't necessary say I have a strange sense of humour, and I don't generally find myself very possessive, but yes, selfish at times.

    Rabbit. I be a rabbit!
    *munches carrot stick*

    Some parts of that description fit me. *shrug* You can see any trait in yourself though, if you look hard enough.

    I am a tiger myself. It is currently the year of the Rooster, by the way.

    Oh yes, if you're going of the Vietnamese interpretation of the Zodiac, all you rabbits are actually cats. Just something you all might find interesting.

    And for those who enjoy the zodiac, I suggest the manga Fruits Basket, which is quite amusing, to say the least.
