2003 will be the Year of Goat, which is also known as the Sheep or Ram. According to the Chinese zodiac people born under the sign of ‘The Gentle Sheep' are creative, charming, get along with nearly everyone. The Goat is meticulous and a perfectionist in his/her work. The Goat is the eighth Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, and is a Yin Sign associated with the Fire Element. Recent Goat years have been 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 and 2003. Goats are genuinely nice people -- charming, amiable, and sympathetic to the needs of others. They hate to criticize and always look for the best in people, including themselves. I want to wish all my Chinese friends a very happy and prosperous New Year.
