People born under the sign of the Sheep tend to be arty. They are good at what they do, and feel most comfortable in the Great Outdoors. Given to feelings of insecurity, they need to feel loved and protected. They prefer a quiet life, and like neither confrontation nor making important decisions. As such, they are not suited to a career in business, and are more suited to arts, crafts and creativity.
In love, they can be romantic and gentle, but occasionally also bossy and unwilling to work hard for the relationship. They do not dare to express their love openly.
生肖屬羊的人饒富藝術天分,他們擅長自己的工作,而且在大自然中最能怡然自得。由於容易有不安全感,他們需要感到被愛、被保護。他們偏愛寧靜的生活,不喜歡衝突或做重大決定。也因此不適合在商業界發展,而比較適合藝術、工藝、創作型的工作。
在愛情方面,羊兒羅曼蒂克而且溫柔,但偶爾會頤指氣使,不願為關係努力。他們不敢公開表達愛意。
Predictions:
