The Goat, also known as the Sheep or Ram⁴, is the most feminine sign of the Chinese Zodiac. People born in the Year of the Goat are said to be compassionate and intelligent. Goats are often accused of being worrywarts. They are always worried about problems that are not their own, and they enjoy taking care of others. Goats don’t like to be singled out. They prefer to remain anonymous⁵ whenever possible. Goats also enjoy relaxing in their own homes rather than socializing with others. People who are born in the Year of the Goat rarely lead the way. They are much happier going with the flow.
