RABBIT! It’s my year!

KRD's avatar

I was born in the year of the ox. I found out that 2020 was the year of the rat. I find that funny.

@KRD , What’s so funny about year of the rat? That’s my year.
I read somewhere that the Chinese have a preference for having their children born in the year of the dragon, which they regard as special.

@ragingloli , There is no year of the cat, but there is a year of the tiger.

@LostInParadise and @ragingloli The cat is the same year as the rabbit. Some Chinese astrologers use the term cat, and others use rabbit.

I just feel like a cat. Wanting to laze around all day.
Anyway, telling you my actual chinese zodiac would be a personal identifier, and I am not giving anyone that.

I was born in the year of the goat.

Vietnam celebrates the Year of the Cat this year.

Evidently I’m a Year of the Ox. Does that mean something? Is it like western astrology where a symbol supposedly implies vague and nonspecific character traits that everyone actually has but makes a person think “Oh, that’s me to a T!”?

I don’t really follow this stuff.

Monkey. No idea what that means.

Monkey. My dad used to call me a monkey when I was little so it made sense to me when I first learned I was a Monkey according to the Chinese zodiac. When I was young some of the Chinese restaurants had the different birth years and animals on the paper placemats.

If I remember correctly Monkey is an earth sign, I am an earth sign according to my horoscope also. Monkeys are clever and adaptable, and I think their lucky number is nine, which coincidentally is my husband’s lucky number.

People born in a year of the Rooster are very observant. Hardworking, resourceful, courageous, and talented, Roosters are very confident in themselves.
Active, amusing, and popular within a crowd. Roosters are talkative, outspoken, frank, open, honest, and loyal individuals. They like to be the center of attention and always appear attractive and beautiful. yep that’s me :)

Monkey. Which explains my penchant for throwing poo.

Year of the ox.

LadyMarissa's avatar

I was born in the year of the Tiger; however due to the fact that I was born early in the year, I’m considered an Earth OX. I think I remember that I missed being a Tiger by 1 week.

JLeslie's avatar

^^Oh wait. I was born the first week of January.

Tiger

It fits even less than whatever astrology is used in America.

Rat. It’s interesting the cultural differences between the European and Oriental views of the rat!

My mom likes to say that I’m a snake rattle. End of the lunar year. Not the scary end.
