The year 2015 is ruled by the Sheep. The creative Sheep personality embodies wealth, warmth and loveliness. Good things seem to come to the Sheep naturally because ofits irresistibly good nature. The Sheep rarely speaks its mind. It will go with the flow and only object when things aren't going its way. Push too hard and it will react-decisively! The gregarious Sheep is an eternal romantic. It adores being showered with love and attention.
The Year of the Sheep also ruled 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 and 2003. However, people born in January or February should consult the Chinese lunarcalendar. New Year does not automatically fall on January 1st. This celebration is better known as the Spring Festival and coincides with the first day of spring-a date that shifts from year to year depending upon the lunar cycle and solar year.
