Do you believe in Chinese Zodiac?

galmaegi shared a link said Sat, Sep 12th 2015 at 10:59am ET

My mom's birthday is coming up so I got her a birthday card with a rooster on it for fun. Yup, she was born in the year of Rooster. While I was explaining this to my husband, I found this Chinese Zodiac Website. We both read the description of our zodiac signs and we were surprised how accurate it was. Personality, love compatibility, and blood types... they all seem pretty accurate. What do y'all think?

- real thoughts: I feel like the zodiac stays general enough that most people can find at least a few things that apply to themselves, which I think is fine.
  
  I think it's a little silly when somebody asks your sign and then instantly thinks you suck because you were born in a certain month or year.

Mine is so far off. I was born the year of the pig. I'm supposed to be giving to the point that I'm taken advantage of, rarely thrifty, and unable to stand being alone. I am thrift store loving, cynical, and love solitude.

- @jaremelz Maybe you're using the Gregorian year instead of the Chinese year

  I am a sheep/goat. I find it moderately accurate. Occasionally I feel more like the year before my year. So, I mean, close enough.

Before I clicked the link I had my mind set to doubt it. But then I saw that "Lucky Direction" of south, east, southeast. Wow! That just nailed it for me! Uncanny!

- @Teripie See, I had the opposite experience, because my favorite directions have always been north and west, and the website gave me northeast and southeast, and I was like, "no." On the other hand, it's a lucky direction on the website, so I suppose I can still like north and west best with the caveat that I'd be better off going the other way.

I was born January of 88. I always thought it was cool that I was a Dragon. Later as a adult I realized that the Chinese calendar does not turn over at the end of December so I was still on 87 and I would be the year of the rabbit.

So these days I kinda think I fall under this:

Yes I know that is suppose to be part dog... Its just the image that comes to my brain.

It is fun but not to be taken seriously. I am a dragon and I fit the general description pretty well. My wife is rabbit and she's the green frog opposite of what the description says. And even worse: She has three friends, all rabbits too, who have only three things in common with her: They are rabbits, they are female and they are Korean. Other than that I haven't been able to find any other commonalities ;)
