In the past, the Chinese have always used ‘San Yang Kai Tai’ to wish everyone a prosperous upcoming year.

The word ‘san’ (pronounce sun) happens to be a homophone for the word for ‘goat’ in Chinese.

The goat has a gentle, loving nature; ‘sun’ warms up the world, bringing harmony.

Together, with a play on words, a phrase for the combination of peace and warmth can be brought about, known as ‘San Yang He Xie’ (Auspicious Beginnings of Peace and Harmony).

People born in a Year of the Goat are generally believed to be gentle mild-mannered, shy, stable, sympathetic, amicable, and brimming with a strong sense of kindheartedness and justice.

They have very delicate thoughts, strong creativity and perseverance, and acquire professional skills well.

Although they look gentle on the surface, they are tough on the inside, always insisting on their own opinions in their minds.

They have strong inner resilience and excellent defensive instincts.
