Men byHoroscope

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
