The Chinese Zodiac - Goat

Chinese people use Ben Ming Nian (or the zodiac year of birth) to refer to the year of the zodiac animal in which one was born, and it takes a 12-year cycle to reach one’s Ben Ming Nian. Those who were born in the Year of the Goat, for example in 1955, reach their Ben Ming Nian in 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, and 2015, resulting in conflicts with their zodiac year of birth.

What Should Goats Pay Attention to in 2015

People who were born in 1955 will be 60 years old in 2015, therefore, they should pay more attention to their health, and they should have a physical examination even if they suffer from a slight illness.

People who were born in 1967 and 1979 will conflict with their zodiac year of birth, therefore, they are inclined to exaggerate their problems and feel rather depressed. This will particularly be the case for people who were born in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. They should take frequent walks outside to relieve boredom.

People who were born in 1991 are prone to have noticeable transformations in their feelings. Females are very likely to get married and have babies, but it’s also possible that they will find themselves without love.

They are also vulnerable to injuries in 2015 due to conflicts with their zodiac year of birth, and it’s advisable for them to donate blood to dispel disasters.

In general, people born in the Year of the Goat are inclined to have changes in their jobs, feelings and marriage, and to suffer physical injuries as well as psychological problems in 2015. However, they can go out for a walk, donate blood, and clean their teeth to avert these issues.

It’s also highly recommended for them to carry embroidered purses to encourage good luck.
