Question about astrology

Fri Jun 19, 2009, 4:57 AM
Some of you might have noticed I'm working on a new calendar, one featuring the signs of Chinese astrology. Problem is, I'm unclear on two of them. They are the fourth one, which I'm pretty sure is a rabbit, but might be a hare, and the 8th one, which I'm less sure about, whether it's a sheep or a goat. I've done some rudamentary online searching, and I'm pretty sure about the rabbit, but the goat and sheep seem to be equally likely. I'm going to keep it as a goat for now, but I'd like to throw it out to you guys and see what the concensus is. :)

It looks sunny out there right now. I hope it stays that way so I can bike to work and back. June is going by fast and furious. Gotta be careful not to take it for granted, even though what I'm really looking forward to is August and my vacation. At the moment my schedule is pretty clear, leaving lots of room for work and earning money. Of course, that doesn't have to be strictly a summer thing anymore. I'm very interested to see how I feel in September, when I don't have to cut my work hours for classes, buy school supplies, pay for tuition, or anything like that. Anyway, that's where I'm at right now. Later world!

I believe that the 8th sign is the Ram (sheep) in China, and in Vietnam its the Goat.

Several of the signs are slightly changed for the Vietnamese version. Ox gets swapped for Buffalo, Rabbit for Cat.

I think the info listed on wikpedia [link] seems fairly consistant with the reading I've done.

Good luck with the new works :)
