Happy New Year's everyone.

I'm the year of the ram (and borrowing some links from o_mother_o)

1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
People born in the Year of Ram are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac's other years. But ram year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life. They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Ram people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Ram people are wise, gentle, and compassionate. They are compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses.

And because my birth year ends in a 7 that places me in the Fire element in Chinese alchemy. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence, and with restlessness and a sense of adventure. The element fire plays an important role in Chinese Astrology and feng shui , the Chinese form of geomancy.

Cool. Like Mother, I'm a Wood Dragon. But I think you knew that already.

Dragon i knew but the wood thing not until today

I found that out when Silvrethorn was studying astrology.

I'm the year of the rat :) I like my sign even though it's vermin, but I tend to follow the Chinese astrology seeing as though I'm a scorpio and I'm told I'm very much not like one.

i'm the other way. I'm very much a gemini and not so much a ram

I'm a Wood Dragon (August 1964).

Wood is one of the five elements of Chinese alchemy.

Wood represents springtime when new growth sprouts from the earth. Its associated direction is east. It is associated with the planet Jupiter. Wood is characterized by the color brown or green. Wood's attributes are considered to be strength and flexibility, as with bamboo. It is also associated with qualities of warmth, generosity, co-operation and idealism. The Wood person will be expansive, outgoing and socially conscious. The wood element is one that seeks always to grow and expand. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and fecundity. Wood’s influence affects the liver, the gallbladder and, by extension, the digestion. Wood needs moisture to thrive. Its two opposite yet equally emotional forces are rage and altruism.

In Chinese medicine, wood is associated with feelings of anger or depression. Organs associated with this element are the liver (yin) and the gall bladder (yang).

In the regenerative cycle of the elements, Water engenders Wood. Wood begets Fire. Fire burns to Earth. Earth creates Metal and Metal gives way to Water.[citation needed]. The element wood plays an important role in Chinese Astrology and in feng shui, the Chinese form of geomancy.

I did up a chart from 1660 so I could do a horoscope for all of my characters, too. *g* Somewhere in my LJ I showed the writeup for Sean Patrick.

I'm a tiger (which I knew) but I don't know which element I am (year is 1986, could you tell me?). I think that I am more or less a tiger, the way I am more or less a cancer. I don't fit it 100% but it applies more to me than any of the others.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

according to wiki, you're fire like me

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see, thanks :) I couldn't see where it said which number is which element :/

I guess the restlessness part of that fits me quite well.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i am often restless. It was in a box halfway ddown the page, the numbers that is.

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Can't seem to see them, am even blinder than I thought I was :S

Huh, I'm always restless. If not physically, mentally, often I can't get to sleep just cause my brain refuses to shut down.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

iknow that feeling

(The 0s at the beginning and end of my name are zeros)

And Happy New Year back at ya :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]
