    Hell if I can ever remember what it means to be a Snake. I have to remind myself every time I go to a Chinese restaurant.

            Whoa, that was a major typo on my part. I mean to say I rarely go to restaurants. So Chinese isn't really on my menu all that often.

            Though ironically enough we ordered in some Chinese last night. They didn't give us any fortune cookies. :(

                            Nah, that's okay. More often than not I like having nightmares because it gets the creative juices flowing. It's just that sometimes I'll just get really odd ones that for some reason are terrifying compared to the others.

                            That and this morning I was half awake at the time when I thought there were spiders crawling all over my room so that always freaks me out. D:

                              You scare me. Wrote things absolutely like if I did.. being half awake, having odd nightmares which are more terrifying in some way.. I don't like waking up for the fact I'm shaking, sweaty or crying.. needing minutes to realize where I am and its safe! Or the dreams running whole night or having some hard exercises and my muscles get tired till morning awake. Sleeping but getting more tired is sth pissing me off.

    No, seriously...snake.

    Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.

    The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.

    Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!

    In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.

    ox



    Quote:
    The Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.

    The world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.

    Out in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.

    A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.

      so you are a tireless worker being far too serious sometimes? On the hand are you the social type or the closed one: make relations hard or easily?

      btw its good to know you're trustworthy and reliable, know who to call when I need advice :P hehe

                    Ah you know, just being silly :P

        But you are an Earth Monkey, not a young Water one. hehe.

        Earth Monkey, Jan 30, 1968 to Feb 16, 1969
        Optimistic always, nothing will keep the Earth Monkey down for long. They are self starters, both personally and in business. They don't like to work for others and always find opportunities to do it their way, solo. Their entrepreneurial spirit creates very successful business undertakings. They are very shrewd and avoid common pitfalls encountered by others. They possess enormous strengths which lead to a growing reputation for excellence, among them frankness, honesty, dependability and reliability. They sincerely care about others and are very attractive to the opposite sex, particularly the male. The female Earth Monkey needs to be aware of making mountains out of molehills with their constant worry, otherwise they will destroy budding relationships quicker than a wink. Their optimism usually comes to the rescue, however, because problems today, well, there's always tomorrow to make it right!

        Famous Monkey people: Elizabeth Taylor, Charles Dickens, Lyndon Johnson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Rockefeller, Leonardo da Vinci, Simone de Beauvoir, Isaac Stern, George Lucas :)

            You don't have to be Chinese to use their astrology or horoscope system being lunaris. Its about the moon and the time of your birth. So as ascendent of your zodiac changes a lot on the personality. Whatever. I also don't believe in horoscope but being curious ;)
