How many goats are there in the Zodiac? Most of us only think of one - Capricorn, the goat. However there are two. The Chinese Zodiac has a goat, as well as many others of God's creatures.
Like traditional astrology, there are twelve animals in Chinese astrology symbolizing different personality types. However, other than the goat, the animals are not the same, and they have different meanings.
Chinese astrology is also different, in that it goes according to the year you are born, and not the month.
Similar to traditional astrology, however, Chinese Zodiac is divided up into elements. However, the elements are not all the same the Chinese have one more element.
Chinese Zodiac Elements are: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. Each of the 12 animals have 5 elements, so there are actually 5 other goats, besides the traditional one we know as Capricorn.
These elements are associated with the 5 major planets Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn, respectively. The combinations presented by these 5 elements and the 12 animals actually combine to create a 60-year cycle.
Chinese astrology has existed for over 2000 years, and many have relied on it for soulmate searching.
