What's your sign?

[Breaker_Morant]

I was born in Germany to a U.S. military family that was from southern Oklahoma.

It is kind of freaky though how you and I share a lot of the same thoughts and ideas.

You were in the service (Army?) and I was (although I enjoyed it but then again, I was a "superior". Bald. Photography. The list goes on. My father was at Ft Campbell when I was born. In fact when I went on Post, there were people who knew him. My last name isn't all that common.

Chinese Zodiac - Monkey

Personality
Occupying the 9th position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Monkey possesses such character traits as curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness. Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of practical jokes. Even though their intentions are always good, this desire to be a prankster has a tendency to create ill will and hurt feelings.

Although they are inherently intellectual and creative, Monkeys at times have trouble exhibiting these qualities. When that happens, they appear to others to be confused. But nothing could be further from the truth as Monkeys thrive on being challenged. Monkeys prefer urban life to rural, and their favorite pastime is people-watching.
Health
Believing that being sick is a waste of a valuable day, Monkeys very rarely feel ill. Their constantly active lifestyles are likely what helps Monkeys remain in good health. When Monkeys do become ill, such feelings are generally the result of feeling nervous.
Career
When it comes to work, Monkeys can do just about anything. They adapt well to changing environments and they’re very intelligent. They work quickly, but they’ll frequently charge double for their services. Good career fields for Monkeys are accounting and banking. Other good careers for Monkeys include: scientist, engineer, stock market trader, air traffic controller, dealer, film director, jeweler and sales representative.

When it comes to relationships, Monkeys aren’t quick to settle down. In fact, they generally are promiscuous; a tendency that probably has to do with the fact that Monkeys are easily bored. Monkeys




Full of strength and determination, Fire Monkeys are excellent at not only setting goals, but in meeting them as well. Others enjoy being in the company of Fire Monkeys, even though these Monkeys

Chinese Zodiac - Dragon

Personality:

Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion. Unfortunately, this passion and enthusiasm can leave Dragons feeling exhausted and interestingly, unfulfilled.

While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone. Their preference to be alone can come across as arrogance or conceitedness, but these qualities aren’t applicable. Dragons have tempers that can flare fast!

Health:

Considering their hard-working nature, Dragons are healthy overall. They do get stressed and suffer from periodic tension/headaches, likely because they take so many risks. Dragons could benefit from incorporating mild activity into their lives. Yoga or walking would be good as these activities can work both their minds and their bodies.

Career:

Dragons prefer leading to being led. Jobs that allow them to express their creativity are good choices. Some good careers include: inventor, manager, computer analyst, lawyer, engineer, architect, broker, and sales person.

Relationships:

Dragons will give into love, but won’t give up their independence. Because they have quick, sometimes vengeful tempers, their partners need to be tough-skinned. Dragons enjoy others who are intriguing, and when they find the right partners, they’ll usually commit to that person for life.

Fire Dragons –

A Fire Dragon’s emotions can flare instantly. Fire Dragons put themselves on pedestals, and because they react quickly and recklessly, they sometimes make wrong decisions. Fire Dragons need to slow down and keep their tempers in check as that’s when they’re best.


Compatibility:

Dragons are compatible with the Monkey or Rat and incompatible with the Ox and Goat.

What's your other sign?

 

[Desdemona]

I like it better when they call my sign a boar.

I'm an earth pig. Before I lost weight, it was an irritation at best. Snooze found it very amusing to gently tease me about my sign when we were together, but he wasn't mean about it.

Right on in blue, absolutely bullshit (for me, at least) in red, and so-so stuff left in black. Strangely enough - because I don't believe in this kinda stuff - there's a lot more blue than red or black.

Personality
Occupying the 2nd position on the Chinese Zodiac, Oxen possess such character traits as dependability, strength and determination. Oxen are tolerant individuals who believe that the road to success involves hard work and scrupulous behavior; they don’t believe in taking shortcuts. They characterize those who don’t work hard as lazy individuals not worthy of respect.

Oxen are capable of trusting others and will listen to their opinions with an open mind. However, Oxen prefer making decisions that are based on their own research. Oxen favor strong, life-long alliances to casual acquaintances.

Home is where Oxen go to seek comfort, occasionally watching television or reading. They prefer the rural outdoors and spend the majority of their “home” time working in the garden or caring for the yard.

Health
Oxen are strong individuals who overall are healthy and live long, fulfilled lives (?). However, they tend to work too much, rarely allowing themselves enough time to relax. Oxen could benefit from incorporating more non-work-related activity into their lives.

Career
Oxen prefer work that is routine. They take a methodological approach to their tasks and excel in jobs that are specialized. Oxen possess a keen eye for detail and an admirable work ethic. They are more productive when allowed to work alone. Good career choices for oxen include: interior designer, painter, carpenter, quarry worker, archeologist, horticulturist, mechanic, engineer, draftsman, banker, broker, real estate agent and army officer.

Relationships
Oxen aren’t very sociable and rarely participate in group activities. They abhor small talk and won’t waste their time flirting. They will search long and hard for the perfect partner as change makes them uncomfortable. Whether due to an ox’s tendency to be overbearing or tendency to place blame on others, relationships with Oxen don’t always work out. When Oxen realize that partnerships involve two people and two points of view, satisfying matches are possible.

Earth Ox – Years 1949 and 2009
Earth Oxen are successful individuals, probably because they are diligent rather than impulsive. A more modest approach combined with their reliability and sincerity makes them more likeable.

Compatibility
Oxen are compatible with a Rat and Rooster and incompatible with a Tiger and Horse.

Well, I do enjoy a life of calm and peace, but I can't have complete quiet or I'll go insane. And while I'm a bit orderly, I'm pretty chaotic within my order.

This thing isn't performing very well today, I'm afraid.

Snakes and the 5 elements
Wood Snake – Years 1905 and 1965
Kind and genuine, these Snakes enjoy building a solid foundation of friends and family whom they love deeply and whose company they enjoy immensely. But even with all this support, Wood Snakes rarely seek the advice of others.

Okay, so 2 out of 5 is pretty bad here.

Compatibility
The Snake is compatible with a Rooster and an Ox and incompatible with a Pig and a Monkey.


Since this thing isn't very close to accurate, I wonder how accurate the compatibility is? Fun exercise, but not spot on for me. I'm a Cancer, and that is pretty close to the truth in most ways. This one was way off the mark.

 

[madetotakeit]

So being a monkey of the standard type (no special elemental sign listed) I am mischievous and curious. I'm intellectual and creative but appear confused. Illness is a result of nerves (true if I am sick there was some emotional drama previous.) I'm in the right line of work. I take my time to settle down but commit myself in every way for life (that's a pretty accurate description of my attitude.)

Add to that I am an Aquarian who is rarely understood except by another Aquarian.

So according to this I need to look for a Rat or a Dragon. I've dated a few rats in my time already (although not necessarily the astrological kind.)

*Off to make sure St George isn't lurking around anywhere. *

 

[Yasashii_Kaze]

A cock. Yes, I know a metal rooster is more polite and correct, but I love the fact that my sign is a cock.

Oooops! Just now seeing this post. I'm a Scorpio. You?
