Goats (also called Sheep or Ram) are kind, artistic and empathetic. They value harmony and beauty, though they can be indecisive and anxious.
As a Yin Wood sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Goat nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
