ROAR!!!!!

You certainly are. I was actually given my nick name in Thailand by some Thai friends of mine because I'm a tiger. Very nice of them I thought.

Doesn't the year of the Tiger start in February after the Chinese New Year?

I'm sort of tiger like too.. only smaller and more cuddly.

Shhhh!

The characteristics of the Tiger are tempered by one of the five Chinese elements of

Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year cycle.

THE METAL TIGER 195O AND 2010

THE WATER TIGER 1902 AND 1962

THE WOOD TIGER 1914 AND 1974

The Wood Tiger is more adaptable to working with others and therefore does not demonstrate the typical "take charge" attitude of other Tigers.

The Wood element adds stability, giving him warmth of character that draws people in and makes the Tiger a popular person.

They are not selfish creatures and will give their time, attention or possessions to anyone in need. These Tigers bring a solid practicality to any problem.

They can control their urges to completely take over, letting others do the work. They must be aware of their slightly volatile tempers and short attention spans,

and not let those characteristics get the best of them or cause them or their loved ones undue pain.

THE FIRE TIGER 1926 AND 1986

THE EARTH TIGER 1938 AND 1998

Where do you get this info? I would like to compare what the Chinese system says about me. (January, 1964)

Thanks Pook,

THE WATER RABBIT 1903 AND 1963

Delicate and docile, Water Rabbits will pretty well go with the flow to avoid any conflict or argument. These situations hurt them and bother them because they are such sensitive creatures. They are usually sociable and relaxed, although sometimes they get withdrawn and introspective. They are supportive with family and friends as well as business partners and display an empathy that makes people flock to them for friendly advice and comfort. Sometimes, they can easily be taken advantage of because they are so generous with themselves and their emotions. So they have to be careful not to let their guards down so quickly.

After reviewing my excursions in Outside The Box, I wonder if my mum got my birthday wrong?

Hmmmm, RABBIT. Now THAT would explain it.

When is the year of the Koala?

Think I'm a water rabbit too. Explains a lot.

Fairly accurate portrayal overall, except the above, I have generally been confrontational, small rabbit syndrome, y'see.

When is the year of the Koala?

Those born in the year of the koala have a tendency to be slow and methodical. Koalas are finnicky eaters and would rather go hungry than eat something else. This narrow pallette, combined with a stubborn streak can lead to their downfall. Koalas prefer the night life, yet are not excitable party animals. Rather domestic, Koalas have a tendency to gain weight rapidly due to lack of excersise.

Same here. I'm a Water Rabbit (the 1963 kind though, not the 1903) However, I don't think I'm anything like that.

Hm. I'm a sheep/goat.

apparently.

According to the chinese calender.

Here's a news report:

Here's a news report:

Unbelievable....I didn't see you for a long time and now 2 x within 10 minutes.......and I'm a sheep/goat also and my lady is a rabbit (but not the one from 1903 )

Rabbit/Goat is a very good match according to the Chinese signs.

Lucky man you are Kayo! What's your gf's sign ?

Ill have to have an astrologer match reading done

Well seeing as there's no Year of the Koala on schedule I thought I'd add this and this.

I get on well with tigers. Im a water rat.

COnfusing thing ive noticed though..im a water rat and bf is a water rabbit ..and apparently we are not so well matched..BUT, im a Sagittarius and he is Aquarius, which is apparently very well matched. So??

She's an Ox, accoridng to the chart posted earlier. Which is fairly accurate ( - Oxen Spirit, not looks. She's far purtier) .

BUT! the chinese year fluctuates? And their New Year is often in a very different month to our own. So surely, our calender can't really apply?

As a nipper in Avalon, Sydney, I was raised on Blinky Bill. I bought the book for my daughter too.

Yes, the Chinese New Year fluctuates but it starts mostly on a certain date from end January until end February of any given year, depending on the "moons"; complicated system!

This year -2010/11 = the Year of the Tiger and year 4707 in Chinese calendar- it starts on February 14th whilst the 13th of February (a Saturday!) is the MOST IMPORTANT DAY -kind of New Year's Eve- of the whole year to come.

It's a very special family day.

If your Lady is an Ox, she's either from 1985 or 1973 because I may assume that Sir Kayo considers a girl from 1961 a bit too old to share his bedroom, let alone one from 1949?.....

I am a horse. Does that mean my year is going to suck?

I think that last chart was about compatability...it depends on your wife's sign.

From what I read in the other post.....I guess your wife is a dragon, goat, horse or rooster.

Lol, nope. She is a tiger, believe me!

Her and her mother are both tigers. My sister-in-law is a dragon and my father-in-law is a horse. Dad and I get along real well!
