I thought you were desperate to leave the country? What are you going to theach them-how to mangle the English language? When are you going to 'zen on' raising your own child?

I'm pretty sure I'm a dog (1970), but not sure what element. Can anyone here advise?

I used to think being a dog was a**, but I'm starting to believe/tell myself that it's not so bad. I mean, dogs are loyal, right? Protective, intelligent, understanding.

--but they also slobber, bark, p*** on the street, so I'm still not completely convinced.

Your element is metal - see here.

[Sang Feng Fan]

Meditate on what? You were wrong. I corrected you. Again.

Just accept it and say thank you.

Wow, thanks Mr. Ching!

(a metal dog...what can I do with that?)

Ok, so metal like a transformer dog, or just a statue like thing?

(gonna have to figure that out myself and get back to you)

...there is a small amount of error built into finding out your Chinese horoscope. The Chinese lunar year does not map directly upon our gregorian calendar, which is why Chinese new year is celebrated sometime in January or February. So, if you're born early in the year, you may actually be the sign in the previous year. I can look that up if any of you are uncertain.

Tug: FYI, some people will also translate metal as gold, so you can think of yourself as a gold dog, if you like.

My B-day is Dec 29 1972....does that change my sign from Water Rat (hopefully )?

I'm a Earth Chicken born on Day of Brown Dog in the Month of Black Chicken....

ah, okay. I looked at that website. I know I'm a Wood Rooster. Sounds sufficient to me.
Not so! My reading follows: "You are Black Rat, born in the year of Green Chicken. The first character to DAY represents you. We can say you are a Water Rat, too."

They want to add any other rats to the chicken stew?

I'm one perplexed chicken,

I'm not sure how the colors figure in - I'm guessing that it's representative of the elements. FWIW, I can calculate for days like Feb. 30th, so it's based on some weird algorithm.

SP: Good example - 1953 shifts to snake on Feb 13.

MK: Sorry, it doesn't change from rat to ox until Feb. 3 1973. Rats are good though - 1st sign in the zodiac and for good reason.

[Cody]

Yes, there was talk of elements. I thought that Wood Rooster would take care of that. lol shrug. thanks, Gene.
