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.

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。
