never quite understood the whole when you were born thingy.....I think if you're born earlier in the year like January and maybe early Feb according to western calendar, you're still the animal of the previous year on the Chinese calendar right??

Yeah 1984.

I wonder if asian personal ads would have something like..

"SAFM(onkey) seeking SAMD(ragon) for long term relationship, must like trips to Macao."

Here are some different attributes than the ones I posted earlier on page 21 for the 12 Chinese zodiacs:

Rat: Born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008. RAT: You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist

Ox: Born in 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009. OX: A born leader, you inspire confidence from all around you. You are conservative methodical, and good with your hands. Guard against being chauvinistic and always demanding your own way. The Ox would be successful as a skilled surgeon, general, or hairdresser.

Tiger: Born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010. TIGER: You are sensitive, emotional, and capable of great love. However, you have a tendency to get carried away and be stubborn about what you think is right; often seen as a "Hothead" or rebel. Your sign shows you would be excellent as a boss, explorer, race car driver, or matador

Rabbit: Born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011. RABBIT: You are the kind of person, that people like to be around affectionate, obliging, always pleasant. You have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. Being cautious and conservative, you are successful in business but would also make a good lawyer, diplomat, or actor.

Dragon: Born in 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000. DRAGON: Full of vitality and enthusiasm, the Dragon is a popular individual even with the reputation of being foolhardy and a "big mouth" at times.

Your are elegant and artistic but the first to complain about things. Put aside your pessimism and worry and try to be less dependent on material comforts. You would be best as an actor, gardener, or beachcomber
