So I'm a Sheep, how funny. I happen to love live sheep in all their woolly glory! =D When it comes to proverbial sheep... not so much. I'm extremely unsheepish in the collective society way, very individualistic and family/friend but not club/group-focussed. I guess my Scorpioness/Earth aspect saves me. What the Chinese horoscope tells me is this:
Sheep simply want a bit of peace. They enjoy carrying on with life in their own quiet, individual way, content to be in the middle of it all rather than to be leading it. Sheep are quiet and calm people. They
enjoy cultural things and focus much of their energy on artistic hobbies. Sheep are easygoing and relaxed, happy to be going with the flow. Years of the Sheep: 1907*1919*1931*1943*1955*1967*1979*1991*2003
