    About this ebook

    Are you a sensual horse, an amorous goat or a quiet, seductive snake? All is revealed in this fascinating and fun guide to the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac.

    Bestselling author Neil Somerville looks at the personalites of each sign, providing invaluable insights into how different signs relate to each other and offering an illuminating view of how different signs react when in love.

    Find out which signs will bring you the most happiness, which signs will give you the perfect love match, and how you can make the most of relationships with friends, business associates and children. For example, TIgers are born leaders who should match up with monkeys (for a sizzling romance) dogs (for a harmonious relationship) or horses (with whom you have much in common).

    Neil Somerville has been writing the bestselling ‘Your Chinese Horoscope’ series since 1987 and, as his readers have discovered, these are no ordinary Horoscope books. Although they do contain predictions they also give much encouraging advice and this is what attracted Neil to Chinese horoscopes so many years ago. They are a great indicator of trends to come and, once aware of these, it is possible to adapt and benefit from this knowledge.

      What’s Your Chinese Love Sign? - Neil Somerville

      Introduction

      Chinese astrology has been practised for thousands of years. However, it is only recently that we in the West have been able to appreciate the wonders of this ancient art.

      In Chinese astrology there are 12 different signs. Each sign is named after an animal and each animal sign rules a year. Those born in that year inherit some of the characteristics of the animal.

      To avoid the thorny problem of how to refer to the signs I have opted to use the masculine gender, but unless otherwise stated ‘he’ covers both the male and female of the sign.

      I believe that the 12 Chinese signs can teach us much about ourselves and our relations with those around us. By understanding strengths and possible pitfalls, relationships can often be better understood and improved. I hope that you will find Chinese Love Signs informative and enjoyable reading.

      Rat

      The Rat

      Key characteristics:

      Charming, sociable, resourceful, quick-witted, ambitious, crafty.

      In love:

      Romantic, attentive, affectionate – and hard to resist.

      The rat may not be considered the most endearing of creatures, but it is resourceful, intelligent and alert. As are those born under the first of the Chinese signs.

      Governed by charm, he has a friendly, sociable manner and a good understanding of human nature. The Rat knows how to put others at ease and is invariably popular. A keen socializer, he enjoys attending parties and functions and has a good appreciation for the finer things in life. He can also be crafty, manipulative and driven by ambition. He likes to keep himself continually busy and one of his main aims in life is to improve upon his present situation.

      The Rat is a private individual and will not allow others to pry to closely into his own concerns. He likes to retain a certain independence in his actions. The Rat is a survivor and even when events go against him, he will often be the first to pick up the pieces and look for new challenges.

      Being sociable, the Rat values relations with others and makes friends easily. He is supportive to his partner and will try to establish a close-knit family. He tends to have a large family and makes a loving and caring parent. With his wide interests and fertile imagination he will encourage his children but will also be a good disciplinarian.

      The female Rat has a lively and outgoing manner, but no matter how successful or busy she might be, her family always comes first. The male Rat is confident and suave. But behind his personable air lurks a sharp mind.

      The Rat is the first sign in the Chinese zodiac and, with his charm and outgoing manner, he is invariably popular and well-respected.

      Famous Rats:

      Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Prince Harry, Samuel L. Jackson, Katy Perry, William Shakespeare, Prince of Wales.

      Rat and Rat

      General Relations

      The Rat delights in the company of others and when it is another lively and sociable Rat, the two can have much fun together. Between them they have many interests they can share and, as both enjoy conversation, they may wile away many a happy hour locked in intense discussion.

      When two Rats work together their combined skills can bring them considerable success. Both are enterprising and opportunistic, and both are keen to make the most out of their skills. Rats sometimes spread their energies too widely and become involved in more activites than they can sensibly handle. If they can control their restless and greedy natures, then a working relationship between them goes well.

      In Love and Marriage

      The attraction between two Rats is strong. Both are romantic and passionate and they have a good understanding of each other. Both delight in socializing, entertaining and travelling and may have a fondness for literature and the arts.

      They place much value on their home life and, if they have children, make caring and protective parents. Rats value their family bonds and the Rat family is likely to be close knit. Although Rats can be indulgent, a Rat couple handles financial matters well and enjoy a good standard of living.

      A Rat couple can find much happiness together but they would do well to maintain some separate interests rather than insist on complete togetherness. Also Rats can be forthright and highly critical and this may sometimes lead to acrimonious exchanges. However, as a couple they strive to overcome problems and make a devoted pair.

      A good match

      Rat and Ox

      General Relations

      Although the Rat and Ox have very different personalities -the Rat being far more outgoing then the Ox – these two signs get on well together. They trust and respect each other and can become firm friends. The Rat particularly appreciates the Ox’s confident and steadfast nature, while the Ox delights in the vivacity and charm of the Rat. General relations between the Rat and Ox are often excellent.

      The Rat and Ox also work well together. The Rat is the master of PR and customer relations while the Ox provides method, order and consistency. They recognize and capitalize on each other’s strengths and there is a great deal of trust and respect between them. Together they can build up an excellent working relationship.

      In Love and Marriage

      There is a strong attraction between the Rat and the Ox and, in love and marriage, they can find much happiness. The character differences that exist between them often prove complementary and each loves and admires the other dearly.

      The Rat is the more outgoing of the two and the Ox gains from the Rat’s vivacity, love of life and sociable nature. Under the Rat’s influence the Ox may become more outgoing and more at ease in his relations with others. Similarly, the Rat admires the Ox’s loyalty, strength of character and ambition. The Rat feels reassured by having such a resolute and reliable partner. Both attach much importance to their home and, if they have children, make caring and conscientious parents.

      The Rat and the Ox also seek stability and security in their lives and with the Rat’s thrift and the Ox’s careful nature, most Rat-Ox couples are materially well off.

      An excellent match

      Rat and Tiger

      General Relations

      The Rat and Tiger are two lively and outgoing signs and they generally get on well together. Both are keen socializers and, with their wide interests, they invariably have interests they can share. The Tiger is very much taken with the Rat’s charm and personable manner while the Rat enjoys the Tiger’s vibrant, enthusiastic and confident personality.

      When the Rat and Tiger work together each is quick to appreciate the strengths of the other. The Rat values the Tiger’s enterprise and enthusiasm, while the Tiger recognizes the Rat’s resourcefulness and ability to spot opportunities. Both are ambitious and both are capable of devising many wonderful and innovative ideas.

      In Love and Marriage

      The Rat and the Tiger are often attracted to each other. Both have lively and sociable natures and they enjoy each other’s company. They are also both highly passionate signs and the physical attraction between them is strong.

      The Tiger delights in the Rat’s charming and sociable manner as well as appreciating his skills as a homemaker. The Rat, in turn, finds reassurance in the Tiger’s confident and ebullient manner.

      However, their different attitudes to money may cause problems. The Tiger tends to be generous in his spending while the Rat is more thrifty. In addition, the Rat feels unsettled by the Tiger’s restless nature and he must accept that the Tiger needs a degree of independence. Both are frank in expressing their views and this may give rise to some heated exchanges.

      Their relationship may not always be harmonious, but there is much love and passion between them.

      A reasonably good match

      Rat and Rabbit

      General Relations

      Although the Rat and the Rabbit are both sociable signs neither cares much for the other. The Rabbit, who has a calm and tranquil manner, feels ill at ease with the active and energetic Rat, while the Rat considers the Rabbit reserved and over-sensitive. They may delight in a once-in-a-while conversation but rarely do the two signs become close friends.

      When the Rat and Rabbit work together, however, their different skills may prove
