The Fire Goat in Chinese Astrology

While the Chinese zodiac sign of the Goat is thought to symbolize a shy and even passive personality, the element Fire is associated with entirely opposing traits of  dynamism and vitality. It is precisely this coming together of radically different qualities that makes the Fire Goat such a complex personality, one who is full of drive and passion at times but enigmatic and aloof moments later.

One of the main traits of the Fire Goat is a strong determined nature. At first glance this seems to be worlds away from the shy, easy-going nature of the Goat in general who does not like to be involved in situations of stress and confrontation. However people who know the Goat well are also aware of the fixed element in his/her psychological makeup since upon coming across a contrary opinion this sign can dig in his/her heels and even get ready to butt heads much like the animal whose symbolism the it bears. It is this tendency to stubbornness that is amplified by the Fire element so that the Fire Goat acquires an overarching drive which sets out to do great things and accomplish important goals.

A rather unique characteristic of the Fire Goat is a love of travel and adventure. The Goat is essentially a homebody – one who is quite content to stay within the bounds of familiar, albeit tastefully decorated surroundings. Even when Goats do venture out from their comfort zone, it is mostly in order to sample a particularly exotic culture or soak up the sun at a tropical paradise. However the Fire Goat is pulled by entirely different attractions; he/she is more likely than any other Goat to answer to the call of adventure. This Goat can be found scaling the heights of a mountain or shooting the rapids down a treacherous waterfall with equal delight and abandon. The Fire Goat thus is an explorer at heart, looking forward to tread into the unknown and sometimes even reveling in actually dangerous experiences.

The combination of an emotional intuitiveness as well as go-getter’s attitude makes the Fire Goat capable of attaining great heights in life. On one hand he/she can take advantage of their innate knack for emotional persuasion while on the other they are also fearless enough to plunge into direct action and initiative. In fact the Fire Goat may not even be above to a little emotional manipulation should it suit his/her purpose. People who are taken in by the outwardly demure personality that the Fire Goat shares with other members of the herd, often find out to their cost that this Goat can be highly focused, extremely persuasively and if the occasion demands quite ruthless too. In the worldly sense the Fire Goat can be extremely successful since he/she can fall back upon an incredible combination of patience, industriousness, real know-how and genuine good luck.

In personal relationships, the Fire Goat makes an ardent lover. The Goat as it is has a deeply sensual side and when this is ignited by the Fire element, the flames of passion can reach incredible heights. However a certain streak of jealousy in the Fire Goat can create trouble in relationships. Also even though their essential Goat nature is generally easy-going, the times when his/her smoldering feelings burst forth in raging emotions can be difficult to handle for a partner. Thus if the Fire Goat is to improve chances of long term relationships, it would be a better idea to create options for regular give and take so that he/she doesn’t lose control, all at once.
