Chinese New Year Zodiac - find what animal year you are

[Mousy]

I think I just googled "fire sheep" or some nonsense like that and then it listed the others too and I could figure out which I was from there?

I went through and reread the character traits for each animal and I can't get over how spot on my husband's is!!


Also, I've been seriously considering changing my career to daycare teacher instead of elementary teacher.. but that would be a pay cut. I have been thinking about doing it for a summer job this summer though! That was the career change I was talking about before. XD i'm not sure I'll ever escape the teaching realm. I don't think I could do anything else!

Some nonsense like that XD

Woo, fun stuff. I'm a snake under the element metal/gold,
and my birth year was called the year of th e white snake.
Also my birthday in the chinese calendar is the 30th or 31st of May if I can remember correctly,
in the Gregorian calendar. My actual birthday on that calendar is on the 17th, so it's not too different.

Oh this is an interesting topic. I'm a monkey, and this is a year of the monkey. I always thought that was a good thing but I guess not. xD

JinMay
Doesn't that mean you're 24? Happy early birthday!? Did you know that in olden day China, people used to all age on Chinese new year, not on their birth date! Hence the red packets, ha-ha.
Why isn't that a good thing?

[Mousy]

Year 24 is supposed to be really unlucky. T_T So when you cycle back around to your animal year, it's bad luck! My unlucky year JUUUUUUST ended. Let's hope my string of bad luck ends too. XD

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR UNLUCKY YEAR!

Now, that I did not know! But then was everyone's birthday the same day then? Doesn't China celebrate for 2 weeks? I heard stores etc close down for that time...

4's are not a good number in Chinese, right?

[JinMay]

What mousy said. This is my unlucky year, I thought it was my lucky year! xD
I turn 24 this year in October actually. :/

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I think 6 and 8's are a good number in Chinese and 9 is royal?

JinMay I think it just means you need to be more cautious about things when it is your year

[JinMay]

Well I'll be sure to be extra careful this year!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

That is good to be any year!

[JinMay]

Hahah very true! xD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

But it is all fun to look at

[Chii]

maybe that confidence is hidden somewhere in you Chii!

I sure hope so! I'm doing an education for music teacher so a little bit of confidence would come in handy xD

[Lemon Cheesecake]

you can build confidence by gaining experience and asserting yourself when you need to. If you love your music then I am sure you will want to share that passion and that makes all the difference!
