I never noticed any of them.

Happy year of the Hodzi (my own Hodzi turns 11 today).

Now, I am an Earth Snake


My other daughter's a snake, wife's a rabbit, and I'm a wood rat.

It's so interesting that I can read these putative character and say, yes, it's true ... except there are always exceptions.

OTOH, my mom was reading her chinese horoscope once and was telling me how closely it seemed to match - only to realize at the end that she had gotten the date wrong. ah, well.

It's still fun anyway.

Yeah, FF, that sort of thing happened to me, too. Until I was a young adult I thought I was a Horse, then I learned the Chinese lunar year doesn't start on Jan 1! My birthday's in late Jan, and the year I was born it had just become the new year in the Chinese calendar. So I am a snake, or an ASp as they say around these parts.

My whole family are oxes (I know the plural of ox is oxen but "my family are oxen" sounds much ruder somehow, even my sis-in-law. I on the other hand am a tiger.
