Also known as the Year of the Ram or Goat, the traits of the Sheep have little in common with those of the astrological sign Aries. Sheep are shy and timid by nature and would prefer to remain anonymous rather than standing out and making a name for themselves - - something that tends to happen regardless of their humble intentions.
Nonetheless, Sheep are passionate about their work and everything that they believe in. They are highly religious, but also very materialistic individuals. Sheep are often to dependent on the creature comforts their life brings and end up complaining over the smallest of things - - not realizing it may be their own disorganization that they are displeased with. Pessimists by nature and quite vulnerable, Sheep do not respnd well to pressure. However, they are quite adept to finding creative and natural solutions to any problems at hand.
Much like the way a Sheep prides its wool coat, women born in the Year of the Sheep have a certain beauty and vigor about them that only adds to their elegance - - something cemented by the fact that these ladies spend an exorbitant amount of time dolling themselves up. Their rooms are always filled with nice fragrances and fresh flowers, and they pay great attention to their own hygiene.
While a Sheep’s love may be unconditional, their “yes means no” and “no means yes” nature can be a nightmare for any potential partner. Women of this year also have a clever way way of getting what they want through pitiful looks and playfully skilled pestering. Sheep are also predisposed to cuddling and, if possible, would love nothing more than to have someone stay with them every second of the day.
