Sheep - Chinese Calendar
The Sheep is the eighth Chinese Horoscope and its element is Fire. Sheep are very creative and tasteful. They are also often quiet and subdued, and are happy to go unnoticed. Sheep often find romantic relationships quite challenging; it is very important that they find the right partner who understands them. Sheep can be supersensitive and fragile. They regularly get very anxious over things that other people would see as highly insignificant. Their partner must understand these tendencies so that the relationship is healthy and happy.
When they are in a relationship, Sheep need to receive a number of things from their partner. They need to feel loved and openly supported. Sheep could be (quite rightly) perceived as being emotionally needy in a relationship. It is essential for a Sheep to have a happy and loving relationship. If they do not, they will often remove themselves from the relationship. Sheep may do this by leaving the relationship altogether, or, if things arent too bad, they will simply become mentally detached from the situation.
Despite some of their meeker characteristics, sheep are often demanding in relationships. They can be quite clear about what they want from a relationship, and are not shy to make it clear to their partners. However, they will happily meet their partners needs as well.
Sheep care greatly about how things look. Some could even be seen as vain, because they will spend a large amount of time on making themselves look good. Sheep normally like careers that involve making things look attractive. This, combined with their creativity, means that jobs like hairdressing, flower arranging and interior design are often ideal for a sheep.
There are also a number of other careers that can be suitable for a Sheep. They can be great with anything that involves arts and crafts; or indeed anything that is not too structured and lets them think outside the box. You may be surprised to hear that sheep sometimes make good teachers, their creative minds can bring a fresh and interesting perspective to the world of teaching. However, their organisational skills usually leave much to be desired!
Despite being creative, Sheep are normally not particularly strong in business. As well as having poor organisational skills, their general business skills are not always the best. Both their business ideas and business decisions can sometimes be erroneous, and they are indecisive. Many sheep place great value on material goods, but will be just as generous with a partner that they love.
As Sheep like to do unnoticed, they are often quite sensitive to other peoples feelings, as well as their own. They dont tend to offend others much. However, their timidity also brings self-pity and sensitivity. It is important for friends and especially lovers to understand the Sheep because they are so sensitive. Sheep can benefit greatly by becoming more confident in themselves and sometimes realising where and when they should take credit.
