History

The goat holds the 8th position in the 12-year lunar cycle for the Chinese zodiac. The Year of the Water Goat, spanning from February 1, 2003, to January 21, 2004, is believed to bestow those born under its influence with qualities such as kindness, empathy, and wisdom. Depending on the cultural context, the Year of the Goat may also be referred to as the Year of the Sheep or Ram.
