Indeed it is today.

I don't celebrate it as such, except to take a day off work if it is a week day.

"Happy new year to you too sweety, I was born in the year of the Rat, is that why I have a love of rodents? "

I was born in the year of the rat too.

Apparently, the character that is claimed to be of those born in the year of the rat sums me up.....

You are Humorous, Optimistic, lovely and charming, and sociable.

However, you have a tendency to be quick tempered, and overly critical.

You are also inclined to be unbelieving, and find fault with others.

...............

So it's not my fault, it's the year I was born.

Snake.....

Rich in wisdom and charm, you have a good sense.

However, sometimes you are an exaggerator, and fall over yourself for seeking fame.

Im a goat. and in the other im a ram...

oooooo spookey !!!

The GOAT

Creative, Artistic, Considerate, Generous, Easy Going, Sensitive, A Worrier.

Goats are dreamers--creative spirits always in need of more time to explore their inner selves. They are most comfortable while being deep within themselves. To be happy, the Goat?s mind must be free to roam where it pleases. Goats are naturally artistic and inventive. They are not pursuers of material wealth and rely on their imaginations to enrich their lives. However, Goats can be very generous to those they love.

Goats often do not fare well in romantic liaisons. They are very high strung and tend to feel insecure. They are worriers. To quell their uncertainties, Goats need to feel loved and admired at all times. Goats are extremely sensitive and will fret over the most trifling things. Conflict within a relationship will make Goats retreat further into their minds or physically remove themselves from the scene.

When love is going well for them, Goats can be quite demanding of their partner. The happy Goat does not just take, but loves to give to its lover too.

Goats who learn to control their worries can be quite happy. Once they know their friends and family will be waiting for them when they return from their inner journeys, Goats can be very happy.

Both of us were born in 1961 - the year of the Ox, but on closer inspection it was the year of the 'Metal Ox' - meaning :

"The qualities associated with metal are unyieldingness, rigidity, persistence, strength and determination. The metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful and set in their ways as metal is very strong; and they are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The metal person is also materialistic, business oriented and good at organization and stability. However the metal person can also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life. Just as metal can conduct electricity, the Metal person has strong impulses and generative powers and can bring about changes and transformations for those who come into contact with them. Metal is believed to govern the lungs, nose and skin. The negative emotion associated with metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage."

Legend has it the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac were chosen by Buddha. When Buddha was near death he invited all the animals to visit him. Only 12 came: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. For visiting him, Buddha honored each by using them to represent the 12 phases of the Zodiac.

Where the fook does it mention sheep ? eh ?

The MONKEY

Resourceful, Charming, Persuasive, Amusing, Sociable, Cunning.

The always charming, super-energized Monkey is the partier of the Chinese Zodiac. Monkeys have an insatiable appetite for fun and activity. Having a good time comes very easily for them in any crowd. They are optimistic, witty and blessed with a razor sharp mind. While Monkeys love to be the center of attention, they are good listeners as well. Their bottomless curiosity ensures they will be knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics. Their intelligence allows them to address complex tasks and situations with ease. Monkeys are show-offs who love nothing more than to bedazzle those around them with their antics.

Most Monkeys do not have a highly developed sense of morality. Indeed, if its fun, they?ll do it. Their primary goal is the pursuit of their own pleasure. Monkeys make pleasurable, exhilarating lovers, but beware of the possibility they will stray. Monkeys will try anything once, and if it is the slightest bit entertaining are sure to try it again.

The Monkey?s self-serving attitude may be trouble for many other Signs of the Zodiac. They are very hedonistic and lacking in self-control. If they cannot find a party they will start their own.

The rat

The RAT

Charming, Sociable, Resourceful, Quick-witted, Ambitious, Crafty, Self-serving.

While in the Western World the Rat is looked upon with disgust and revulsion, he is admired and honored in much of the East for his cleverness and aptitude for acquiring things of value. In China and Japan Rats are signs of good luck and prosperity.

The Rat is a charming creature capable of captivating almost anyone. Rats are connoisseurs who take pleasure in flaunting their style. They also possess a great sense of humor. Rats can be very protective and generous to those who are loyal to them.

Rats are also quite self-serving. They have their own goals and ambitions and will not hesitate to advance them. Those outside a Rat's social circle may find them easily riled and verbally abusive. Rats do not often pass up the opportunity to debate.

Rats are very curious about everything, and are always on the hunt for new information?anything that may be of use to them in the present or future.

The Rat?s biggest problem is they find it difficult to see beyond themselves. If they can find room for others they will be well on the way to true happiness.

That pretty much sums me up I believe, I have however found it possible to see beyond myself, and often place myself last in the pecking order, this came after a major loss to me, help me view things and people differently.
