Happy New Year! Am I a goat or a horse?

It is now the year of the goat.  Or is it the year of the sheep? Or the ram?! According to one site on Chinese Astrology (1) “goat people are elegant, charming, artistic, gifted and fond of nature”! Well I certainly identify with that!

So I looked it up and it turns out I was born in a year of the goat (1955) but I missed the start of the Chinese New Year by one day! Less than one day as I was born at 9 am according to my Mum! I was born on 23 January 1955 and the Year of the Goat started on 24 January that year!  That really makes me a horse. “Horse people are active and energetic [yes that’s me!]…..got lots of sex-appeal [sure!]…..love to be in a crowd [oh no, not me at all!].  So, I guess I must be on the cusp, with some goat-like and some horse-like qualities!
