Men byHoroscope
A closer portrait of the men of each sign. How they love, how they work, and how they carry themselves through life.
Men · Chinese Horoscope
Year of the Rat
The Rat male is a hustler. You thrive upon your high-pressure, high-visibility job and use it to score further opportunities for personal
enrichment. You have an eye for the finer things in life, and will attempt
to impress newfound acquaintances with your savoir-faire and the size of
your bankroll. You enjoy gambling, but are essentially cautious and will
not go so far as to jeopardize that nest egg you're salting away for your
golden years.
You have a wide range of contacts, mostly in the business world, but very
few true friends that you can count on when the chips are down. You have an
ear for gossip and enjoy nothing better than a nice juicy rumor, especially
when you can use it to your own advantage. You can be very sentimental at
times, primarily with regard to your family.
Year of the Ox
The male Ox can be a book that does not allow himself to be read. You tend
to keep any doubts you may harbor about the way things are going bottled up
inside. You are a pessimist at heart, but it is this very caution that
prompts your plans for the future. And you always have a plan of some
sort ready to be placed into execution. You are very disciplined and
dutiful, but not particularly bright.
Your inherent love of personal comfort may preclude your entering into any
positions of power in your career, but should you achieve such a position,
it would be best for you to avoid the hazards of authoritarian rule by
learning how to delegate your authority to trusted subordinates. A sense of
trust in general will go far in alleviating your sometimes overly
suspicious nature.
Year of the Tiger
The Tiger male is essentially peaceful until aroused by continued
mistreatment. You are very strong-willed, with a concomitant absolute
belief in your own eventual success. You ooze self-assurance from every
pore. This may come in handy, as your sense of personal ambition is strong
indeed and you will not rest until you've achieved fame and fortune, power
and recognition from others.
You are quick to take the lead, due primarily to your willingness to risk
all on a throw of the dice. Unless you yourself are in a position of
authority, you are an outspoken critic of those in positions of authority.
You are a champion of the oppressed, a supporter of the weak, and, somewhat
paradoxically some might say, an accomplished and passionate lover.
Year of the Rabbit
The male Rabbit can very well be in touch with his feminine side, but this
does not make you effeminate. Tradition has it that you are tidy and well
dressed, a bit on the superficial side and intensely interested in cultural
pursuits. You are also a very good listener. While keen on the horizontal
arts, you are not particularly interested in fathering children.
Your inborn sense of style is all that prevents you from becoming a fashion
victim in the worst way. While frugal in the purchase of the bare
necessities, you can be a bit of a spendthrift when it comes to the luxury
purchases necessary to sustain your interest in life. All in all, you are
quite content with the way things are going for you, except that you can
get fed up once in a great while.
Year of the Dragon
The Dragon male is a natural show-off, with an army of admirers but very
few true friends. You are also a terminal ego case, with the sincere belief
that you are infallible and can do no wrong. This may well be the case when
it comes to your athletic excellence, as you are quite physically fit, but
you might do to think a few of your actions through before committing
yourself to them.
You are highly sentimental with regard to those you love. You are generally
of a pleasant disposition but if you suffer a perceived slight, you can
harbor a grudge for twice as long as forever. You prefer a succession of
hobbies that stress manual dexterity. Your Achilles' heel may well be your
passion for shopping sprees. Better to cut up your credit cards
beforehand!
Year of the Snake
The male Snake is driven to success, and may exhibit all the classic
symptoms of the poor loser if balked at any point in your ascent to the
top. You are a hedonist of the first water, always trim and neat, tidy and
well groomed. You enjoy playing the field and will angle adroitly to
prevent being tied down by responsibilities, whether of a romantic nature
or not.
You are influential in higher circles and can come off as a bit of a snob
upon introduction to new faces. You are romantic and passionate, and have a
killer sense of humor, with which you bait your attractive traps. You enjoy
frequenting casinos, but you should learn to curb your gambling fixation,
as you never manage to walk away from the table ahead of the game.
Year of the Horse
The male Horse is a perpetual pauper, as when you get a little you
immediate spend it on pleasant pursuits for yourself and any of your
friends that might tag along on your outlandish jaunts. You appear to be
incurably positive but are actually a closet pessimist, always worrying
about the future but never uttering a word about your grave misgivings.
This hidden faculty, combined with your natural hale and hearty nature (and
robust ego) makes you a born leader, as long as you can count upon the
unconditional support of those who may follow. You have an independent
streak, and are not afraid of giving voice to unpopular opinions that may
scandalize the bluestocking crowd. Impeccably groomed in public, your
private abode is kept in comfortable disarray.
Year of the Goat
The male Goat is a complete and utter family man, and you are a fun parent,
if a bit on the irresponsible side. Your spouse will feel as though they
had an extra son at times. You are highly sensitive and have a well-developed sense of aesthetics. You can be very fretful and indecisive, as
you are at heart a very kind and gentle soul and are worried whenever
placed in positions that burden you with undue authority.
You have a very good memory for facts, figures and dates. You may find
yourself stymied by the simplest of obstacles unless you build up a reserve
supply of gumption. Your reflective and gentle nature leads many people to
underestimate you, much to their eventual chagrin once the race is run.
Year of the Monkey
The male Monkey is a rule-breaker and perennial rebel. Unfortunately, you
also lack self-discipline, so any rebellion you may attempt will be no more
than a Bronx cheer in the face of authority. You have thousands of friends
who you barely know, all of whom consider you to be a shallow personality
because you get along with everyone equally, despite their differences.
You are a good companion to both women and children. You are generous to a
fault, and this giving nature is perhaps reflected in your lack of success
at the gambling casino. You have a sharp sense of humor that you exercise
frequently, always skirting the ragged edge of insult. You can lie
cheerfully and well when the mood suits you, or when you stand to gain by
such tactics.
Year of the Rooster
The male Rooster, true to the label, is constantly engaged in trumpeting
his own worth to the world. You crave recognition for what to you is the
perfect personality. You are entertaining, witty and charming, and have no
problems winning friends and influencing people. You prefer the company of
the opposite sex, and will be jealous of any rivals, even in the social
sense.
You are not very good at saving money, and prefer to spend it on processes
and things that tend to enhance your appearance in the eyes of the public
that you like to imagine that you have. You have a very good memory for
interesting incidents, and can transform them into riveting yarns when the
mood strikes you and others are present to hear you spin your tales.
Year of the Dog
The male Dog's hallmark is loyalty to those who you deem part of his
immediate circle. You are a true family man, and make a loving husband and
a protective father. You are slow to make close friends, but those few you
do make will be tried-and-true allies for life. You have a very ironic
sense of humor, and the only subject matter that you prefer to self-deprecation is criticizing the foibles of others.
This may escalate into an incurable tendency to spread gossip, which may
result in your being eighty-sixed from all of the best clubs in town, if
not kept in careful check. You are prone to depression, but would sooner
die rather than reveal this to others. You have such a firm belief in the
rightness of your opinions that you have acquired a reputation for hard-headedness.
Year of the Pig
The male Pig is a pushover in the marketplace. You can find yourself
easily hoodwinked by those with superior information sources, so always
check your facts! You enjoy fine foods and expensive beverages, and have
the most impeccable table manners on earth, which serve you well as you
dine at the most expensive restaurants around town.
You compensate for the deprivations you suffered in your youth by
extravagant spending in later life, as you can't stand to be denied
anything that you can afford to pay for on the spot. You do not appreciate
a disorderly life and will do anything to keep the peace, even going so far
as to ignore perceived slights. You always try to see the best in people,
even among your enemies.
Men · Western Horoscope
Aries
As an Aries male, you are first and foremost a creature of the body. You
are strong and energetic, with good posture, erect carriage and an
irresistible sex appeal. You are very stylish and would never be caught
dead in last year's glad rags. You fear the infirmity of age and the
inevitability of death, and wear an air of total self-assurance to
compensate for this.
You are not afraid to take the initiative, but you do expect some backup
from others when the conflict begins. You will win by any means necessary,
but will not stoop to trickery. You have a very strong sense of fair
play. You cannot ameliorate this streak of competitiveness, even if you
wished to do so. You have the unpleasant habit of treating other human
beings as objects to be possessed.
Taurus
The Taurus male may be inclined to stoutness, if you don't go to the gym
regularly. Short and stocky, you are rather hirsute and have been known to
grow a quite respectable beard. You are very materialistic and have
considerable financial know-how, because you're always looking at the
bottom line in any situation.
You enjoy your creature comforts and will work long hard hours to feel that
you have earned them. You are always on the lookout for scam artists, as
you can't bear the thought of dishonest business dealings. You are low-key
and unpretentious, and you prefer to let your actions speak for themselves.
You can be uncomfortably suspicious when placed in new and unfamiliar
surroundings.
Gemini
The male Gemini is tall and slim of build. You are, in fact, more often
than not an athlete of some sort. You are agile and dexterous, with a quick
sharp glance that constantly seeks out new objects to question. You are
also prone to balding early in life. You are eager for human contact,
friendly and persuasive, and could sell iceboxes to Inuits if given the
chance. You enjoy working on several projects all at the same time, but
your real adversary here is quality control. Your excess nervous energy may
manifest itself in boredom, leading you to change your life pattern several
times over the course of the years. You are known among your sizeable
collection of acquaintances for your wit, intelligence and verve.
Cancer
The Cancer male is remarkable for his prominent bone structure and
irregular dental work. You may have a bit of an overbite, or an endearing
crooked tooth. You have a tendency to put on or take off the pounds at
will, due to you binge eating habits when stressed. You prefer to dress
well but conservatively, and hate to stand out in a crowd.
When at home (which is often), you enjoy the comfort and security of
dressing down in your favorite, worn-in clothing, which you rarely alter.
You hate being in the spotlight, and will do anything not to attract
surplus attention. You prefer to be secure in all things, and regard
unwontedly personal discussions as a breach of that security. You have a
good head for business. You have a very close relationship with your
mother.
Leo
The Leo male is generally slim and athletic, and reasonably proud of his
prowess on the sporting field. You're also a sexual playboy, and will dress
stylishly to fulfill this aspect of your personality. You're tall, with
very good posture. You like to show off a great deal, and if you're ever
physically incapacitated, you will swiftly move to excel in some
compensatory endeavor.
You are extremely loyal and expect your friends to provide the same loyalty
in return. You court excitement, and will spend a great deal of money to
make every night spent out on the town a blaze of glory. You are as
generous with your love and affection as you are with your material wealth,
but you expect to be virtually worshipped in the meanwhile.
Virgo
The Virgo male generally has a high forehead, with a receding hairline and
a straight nose. You are also very tall, and seem even more so because of
your excellent posture. You are practical and quite unsentimental, and
refuse to budge so much as an inch when it comes to your personal beliefs,
logical or illogical, because you have a way of considering the illogical
logical as long as it's your illogic.
You have a tremendous love of work, and your only conception of a vacation
is to work a little less intensely than is usual for you. You have a good
eye for the little details, which means you can excel at creative work
because you notice more about that which you study in order to mimic it
accurately. No matter how trivial, you take your responsibilities very
seriously indeed.
Libra
The male Libra's finest quality is your voice. It is clear and could
charm rocks into moving. This is not to say that your appearance is sub-par. Libras have very fine bone structure, balanced features, and an inborn
sense of style that dovetails nicely with an incorrigible vanity. You are
also fairly trim, unless that negative laziness factor has overcome you
recently.
You have the ability to make money, which is good because you also have the
ability to throw it away on trifles just to bring happiness to yourself and
those around you. You are interested in the fine arts and prefer refined,
sophisticated settings in which to thrive. You may have a hard time making
decisions, and need to gather as much information as possible in order to
be sure that you've made the correct one for the situation. You are very
free with your advice.
Scorpio
The male Scorpio is possessed of strong features, with penetrating eyes,
thick eyebrows, and sensuous lips. You have an athletic and well-proportioned body, even it is a bit on the hirsute side. You have to
concentrate to maintain your dignity in stress situations, due to your
irascible temper. You will always be sure to take the credit that
rightfully belongs to you, and will always fight for your rights.
You never forget a kindness or an injury, and you are fiercely loyal to
those that you consider your friends, and will go to any extent to aid them
when they are in distress. You are quite courageous when under fire,
whether metaphorically or literally. Whether you choose to descend to the
depths or ascend the heights, you will do either with great gusto.
Sagittarius
The male Sagittarius may be compared to a wild stallion. You prefer to keep
your hair long, as you feel that it enhances your image of devil-may-care
freedom. You will retain a youthful appearance well into later life. You
strong sense of self-confidence adds poise to your stance in any crowd. You
are a risk taker to a fault, and actually enjoy a sense of physical danger,
much to the chagrin of your more timorous associates.
You always say exactly what is on your mind, and have no sense of tact
whatsoever, which makes you a very poor negotiator. You are very witty, and
have a good memory for facts and figures. You detractors might wish to
point out that you tend to look out for number one a bit more than is
strictly feasible among friends.
Capricorn
The male Capricorn is typically stocky of build, with sharp, penetrating
eyes and prominent white teeth. You are very conscious of your appearance,
and will never dress down for any occasion, which may lead to you looking
out of place at more casual get-togethers. As one might infer from the
previous statement, you have a strong sense of the proprieties and are
extremely polite, refusing to sacrifice your sense of personal dignity no
matter what the situation.
You prefer to avoid the spotlight. You are very wary of close contact with
others, preferring to weigh fully the exact worth of another before you
unbend a bit and allow them to get to know you in a social way. This
approach makes you seem cold and distant to the casual acquaintance.
Aquarius
The male Aquarius is generally taller than the average citizen, with long
bone structure and a strong, solid build. You have a rugged profile and
broad, high forehead, nicely characteristic of the cerebral nature within
you that you prize so highly. You are quite guarded in revealing your
feelings, preferring instead to adopt a "hail-fellow-well-met" facade that
works well in mixed company.
You have a wide range of interests, but are especially attracted to that
which is unknown and unknowable. You are a man of exceedingly fair and
upright mind and have your very own unshakeable personal moral code that
you will refuse to deviate from, for any reason. You are intuitive to a
fault, yet strangely practical when it comes to the bottom line.
Pisces
The male Pisces is tall, with a somewhat clumsy appearance mediated by your
broad shoulders. You have few if any prejudices, and are open-minded almost
to a fault, if such a thing is possible. You are known to subsist solely
upon the stuff of your dreams, and have few complaints of a material
nature, as you are satisfied with very little.
This satiety shall serve you well, as you have no use for fame and success
for their own sake, and so rarely make a killing in the market. You are
knowledgeable in many subjects, but prefer to keep this knowledge to
yourself unless pressed for content. You excel at becoming emotionally
involved in every little plot development of your life, even if the results
end up hurting you in the end, as they often do.
