Happy New Year! The Year of the Dragon has arrived. If your birthday is between now and Feb. 10, 2013 and your age this year is divisible by 12 (e.g. 12,24,36.48,60...) then you are a Dragon and, as a kid in my son's old after-school program used to say, "Dragons are better."
Alas, I'm a Snake, so another year to go.

I'm supposed to be a bunny so my year is coming to a close. My wife, on the other hand, is a dragon, so her year is supposed to be just beginning. Anyway, if there was such a thing as luck, any good luck for her is good luck for me as well. We two are one.

You're a Rooster unless you were born before Feb. 16 (New Year's Day that year), in which case you're a Monkey (one of my favorites since I'm married to one).
This website is good for others who wish to check. It gives the dates ranges based on the date of Chinese New Year rather than simply the year, important since the Chinese calendar year is lunar and so floats against our solar year.

Cool. Little M is a Bunny and was born near Easter so we were able to get him a really nice stuffed rabbit from a huge Easter display at Toy R'Us when he was a baby. Still has it on his bed today.

I'm still annoyed that my brother got to be a cool dragon and I'm a boring, old ox.

I intimately know dragons -- I once dated someone who had that sign and even though he was on the SKINNY side he put out so MUCH HEAT. Prrrrr :3

What was the most interesting part of the new year's celebration, Tabitha?

Well I'm a rat, firmly, no ifs, ands or buts, a rat and apparently a Metal Rat at that!
If I was Chinese this is an honour and oh, look, at what a Metal Rat is ....
Of all the Rats, these are the toughest and most resolute. They are visionary and possess an emotional intensity that can lead to feelings of rage, envy, or possessiveness. They like to be in charge, and can act selfishly to get what they want. In relationships, business or personal, they can be obstinate. Metal rats have to bear in mind that meeting their partner halfway would help their relationships tremendously. They take great pride in their homes and enjoy decorating them in their impressively good taste.
Who, me!
For those who would like to see what element they are click here Chinese Horoscopes

Turns out it was a chinese smorgaboard . Small resturant-lots of red happy new year cards on the wall, some balloons and that was about it. Only Asian folks there were the owners.
Great meal though. And returant was packed with reservations all night too.

And another Snake (me!) slithers in! Pretty good description on that website, except for the 'femme fatale' part!!
And like Tabitha - my daughter is January born - so I discovered she's a Boar - and pretty true to that.
Husband - a Rat; and son a Rabbit. What a family zoo!!

Im an ox. My western star sign is the capricorn. So what this really means is that I am a stubborn goat and stubborn ox.

At least you're consistent across species.
