Chinese New Year is celebrated tomorrow, Thursday, February 19 and this year heralds the Year of the Goat.
The Chinese calendar runs in a 12-yearly cycle, with each year in that cycle represented by a different animal.
According to Chinese astrology, people share personality traits with the zodiac animal of the year of their birth.
In the last 100 years, the Year of the Goat has fallen on 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 and 2003.
So, if you're born within the Year of the Goat, what kind of person are you?
In Chinese astrology, Goats are gentle, mild-mannered souls. They are shy, kind-hearted, compassionate and charming.
Goats are the most creative signs, which is lucky, as business is not really their strong point. You will most likely find a Goat working as an artist, writer or craftsman.
On the other end of the scale, Goats are quite the worriers. They can be pessimistic, indecisive, moody and insecure; they need to feel loved and protected.
And one of the most prominent traits of the Goat? Laziness. If it was up to them, they'd hook up with a millionaire and put their feet up for the rest of their lives...
