The Water Goat in Chinese Astrology

The Goat is one of the most appealing signs of the Chinese zodiac system. They are creative, sensitive and loyal – traits which are in fact further amplified under the influence of an element like Water.

In general, this sign takes great delight in pampering all the senses – thus the Goat is an avid lover of the good things of life like delicious food, fine wines and nice clothes. In fact if resources are not a problem, the Goat can even spend a small fortune in tailored dresses and personal adornments. More than that do enjoy being surrounded by creature comforts; the inside of a Goat’s home is likely to be quite aesthetic in appearance, done up in soothing colors and delicate fabrics. Under the influence of Water this aesthetic sense is further refined so that these Goats have artistic tastes and are likely to be highly creative themselves. This person may be a fantastic painter, a writer, a sculptor, a musician, or a stylist.

Since it is so important for the Water Goat to be surrounded by objects of beauty and comfort, he/she has a tendency to overspend. This is in keeping with the slight extravagance that any Goat is prone to; but when allied to an element as fluid as Water, any remnant of self-restraint is done away with the result that the Water Goat usually has some difficulty to stick to a budget. He/she would much rather spend on things which are pretty to look at or pleasurable to the senses rather than save and scrounge for something as vague as future security.

Yet another consequence of the Water element is to make the Goat highly popular in the social context. Even in the general sense, Goats are not really unsocial despite being sometimes shy in company. In fact the Goat can be utterly charming and a pleasant person to know in a social situation. They are almost unfailingly polite and well-versed with the behavioral niceties that social situations demand. However under the influence of Water, the Goat is even more sociable and takes pleasure in a large network of friends, family and acquaintances. This is primarily because the adaptable nature of Water makes the Goat very easy to get along with and they are least likely of their sort to make many demands on their friends, family, or spouses. These people are able to deal with change better than other Goats even though deep down they still need the help and support of their friends and family. Above all the Water Goat dislikes conflict and would much rather forge bonds based on peaceful and pleasant co-operation.

Yet a strain of reserve that is innate to all Goats lends a certain wistfulness to one influenced by Water. As a result this sign can sometimes be found with an other-wordly expression as though cued into a different and more ideal world. This trait in fact makes the Water Goat highly attractive to potential partners who find the element of mystique highly seductive, if also a tad puzzling.

But when a partner is finally allowed into the deepest recesses of the Water Goat’s heart, he/she will find the latter to be one of the most giving lovers. The Water Goat is deeply loyal and their strong emotional natures makes them very responsive the needs and wishes of a partner. The women of this sign have a marked desire to nurture though this can at times make things rather overwhelming for a partner. Another drawback could be a tendency to fall blindly in love and consequently give too much to a relationship which does not deserve such emotional investment.
