Chinese Zodiac was Year of the Monkey

[Neil Ward]

I'm a Taurean Ox:

Ox people, like their animal sign, are placid and easy going. They 
have the rare gift of inspiring others, and this self assurance can 
help them become successful. They are extra-ordinarily good with 
their hands. Naturally quiet, ox people can be eloquent if required 
to speak in public. In family relationships they are often 
misunderstood because of their cool attitudes and unemotional 
responses. Surprisingly, they anger easily.  

>From another site, this note on Oxen:

Patient, hard working, methodical, loners, leaders, proud, reliable, 
reserved, precise, silent, long suffering, tenacious, but 
also...slow, stubborn, rigid, vindictive, jealous, sore losers

and more on Taurean Oxen:

Obstinate to a fault, once this person has a notion in his head, he 
will take himself resolutely by the horns and barrel on through until 
the project, plan, or enterprise is accomplished. Taurean Oxen will 
make good friends and willing beasts of your worst burdens <snip> 
Watch out for that evil temper. The dam doesn't burst often, but 
there is a lot of water behind those gates.

Hmmm.  That is me, I guess, apart from the bit about angering easily 
and being eloquent in public (he mumbled shyly into his chest).  I 
am, 99% of the time, the most even-tempered of people, but don't make 
me angry: you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!! 

It's all a load of bull**** though... isn't it?
