Year of the Rat

One of the Rat's greatest assets is their charm. Rats can melt hearts with their smiles. Add that to their coquettish personalities and you can easily see how they conquer the hearts of others. And, since Rats love to go out, they have plenty of chances to meet potential suitors or future partners. The problem for a Rat is not in finding a lover, but instead limiting themselves to the right one! An annoying quirk of some Rats is they have a difficult time severing ties with former lovers. Obviously, this can pose potential conflicts for the Rat and their new lover and can even endanger their ability to develop new relationships. When the Rat finally settles down with Mr. or Ms. Right, they will find a sincere satisfaction in the intimacy of the partnership.

Year of the Ox

Ox people dislike idle chatter. They don't have fun at parties and don’t have a ton of friends. They are not very sociable and would rather be spending their time at home with their families. When the Ox is in love, they don't confirm their feelings verbally. They prefer to show how they feel rather than tell the object of their desire flat out of their romantic intentions. An Ox will take a long time to decide who precisely is the right match for them because Ox people hate change and want to find someone who is ready to embark upon a stable marriage. Ox people never rush into anything and are not flirtatious in general. Once they have committed to one person, they will usually be faithful and expect reciprocation of their honorable attitudes and behavior.

Year of the Tiger

Tigers are incredibly sexy people, beautiful to most people and sensually romantic. They are spontaneous lovers who never lose their creative spark or flare for an evening of passion. They offer their partner a hint of danger and exhibit a curiosity for the unknown. Due to these obvious romantic virtues, Tigers are never in want of company on a weekend night. The trouble arises when Tigers feel the need to settle down. They will have a hard time convincing their former acquaintances of the sincerity of their intentions and actions with regard to eventual marriage! But it is important to remember that no one can remain a player forever in the social scene, and Tigers are no exception to this general rule.

Year of the Rabbit

The Rabbit lover would never dream of wearing his heart on his sleeve. The Rabbit seems aloof, yet underneath is sensual and loving - a tough facade protects a tender interior. Rabbit folk are romantic yet realistic, generous yet mercenary. Rabbits are, whether male or female, completely in tune with the feminine part of their psyche. Their mothering instinct compels them to nurture others, and they have an innate love of home and family. They will eschew casual romantic connections in favor of someone serious, and don't mind waiting for a very long time for just the right person to turn up. Their highly selective natures can cause them to miss the boat sometimes, and it is important for them to learn how to compromise on their desires.

Year of the Dragon

People love Dragons so much because they are generous, charismatic, irresistible, and so brave that standing beside them banishes fear. They generate excitement and turn heads anywhere they go. They are free spirited and impulsive and can help others achieve their dreams. Others love to be around Dragons because they have a way of making people feel better. Dragons are quick to fall in love, but do not surrender their independence easily, which leaves most of them to live life by themselves. Yet, a smart, witty, and funny companion may intrigue the Dragon long enough to make them want to get married. And once a Dragon person becomes committed, they is unlikely to ever go back upon their given word.

Year of the Snake

Snakes are beautiful people who exhibit a large amount of raw sexual appeal. They are sleek and seductive, and if they want you they will cast an emotional spell on you that won’t let you stop thinking about them. However, Snakes are quite prejudiced when choosing a partner and don’t just choose based on physical qualities -- they need a meeting of the minds as well. The Snake needs a partner who can appreciate their quirky sense of humor and their oddball method of handling difficult situations. Generally, although quite beautiful and tempting to approach, the Snake does all the pursuing, picking, choosing and selecting. In the end, they will slither off with just the right mate for themselves.

Year of the Horse

Horse people in love are eternally young at heart. They sail through life on a whim, spontaneous and open-minded, always watching and waiting for the next big adventure to come along and fall into their laps. Horse persons are charming and affectionate, and full of vim and vigor when it comes to the more physical manifestations of love -- such as dancing. They inspire all those around them with their imagination and vigor, their intellect and their wit. They make potential mates want to get to know them better, and thus hardly have problems securing Saturday night dates. It may be difficult for their current love interest to bring them to a more permanent affectionate arrangement, but it will lots of fun with the Horse while it lasts!

Year of the Goat

People born under the Sign of the Goat have a morbid fear of being left alone, whether for the night or for the rest of their lives. They are very family oriented people, and would love nothing better than a suitable and stable partner with which to settle down and raise a litter of children. If their current romantic interest does not like children or big families, then they just won't be right for the Goat. Goats will give themselves entirely to the right person and will do everything they can to maintain a stable, loving, happy relationship. This doesn't, however, mean that they will allow themselves to be walked all over or taken advantage of. If their partner cheats on them, or otherwise doesn't play according to the rules, then hell hath no fury like a Goat scorned!

Year of the Monkey

People born under the Sign of the Monkey are the most promiscuous of all those personality types mentioned in the Chinese zodiac. They are flirtatious and like to seek the attention of others to get what they want. They are easily bored and must be stimulated intellectually as well as physically in order to stay around for extended periods of time. The Monkey person can be clever, mischievous and manipulative when pursuing a love interest. Monkeys are very intense, sensual lovers. They can tease or charm anyone in a matter of seconds. They enjoy entertaining their lovers with their senses of humor and their ability to captivate a crowd. When the Monkey decides on a mate, it is likely to be forever.

Year of the Rooster

People born under the Sign of the Rooster are generally straightforward when it comes to their feelings. They either like you, or they don’t -- there is no in-between. Although they are outspoken with their opinions, Roosters are pretty tight-lipped about their personal emotions and feelings. They certainly don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves. They are intensely private people who never kiss and tell. Roosters are not extremely easy to live with. However, if you can get past their bossy, obstinate, my way or no way exterior, you find a wonderfully romantic, caring individual hidden beneath. Their hearts are made of solid gold and they genuinely care about their family and friends as much as they care about themselves, although this is not always apparent.

Year of the Dog

People born under the Sign of the Dog can be overly shy when making friends or courting someone. If they are interested, they want to make certain you are as well before expressing any interest. They are emotionally sensitive people, who don't take wounds to the heart very easily. As a lover, Dogs are compassionate and supportive, and are always eager to hear about your day at work or the project you just finished. They share the highs and lows of being in love, defending their partners to anyone who attacks them. Happy Dogs are more likely to want families than Dogs in mediocre relationships. Dogs are simple and lead very easygoing lives. They can be mean with words sometimes and must learn to control their sarcastic sense of humor!

Year of the Pig

Those born under the Sign of the Pig are great love partners to have because they are so supportive and giving of themselves. They are happiest at home, so arguments about late nights out with friends are few and far between for the Pig and their companion. Pigs are very physical and sexual creatures that love to be affectionate as much as possible. Pigs are wonderful companions, appreciative and caring. They are grateful for the things they have, especially a loving and healthy family. Once they choose a partner, they are in it for the long haul. Pigs do not like discord and will do whatever it takes to maintain a peaceful homestead. Pigs are all about raising as large a family as possible, as soon as possible -- they seek like-minded persons to implement these plans.
