The Sheep should be around people who he can always lean on - someone who understands his mood swings and the kind of life that he wants to live. The best matches for a Sheep are individuals who were born in The Year of The Rabbit, The Year of The Horse or The Year of The Pig. Under the influence of the element Wood, the Sheep is a witty individual who is very thoughtful and is mindful to other’s wishes. He is generous, sentimental and has a high moral in life. He completely trusts those people who inspire him. Sheep are intellectual individuals who always have clever ideas about certain things. They cautiously and circumspectly cope with sensitive business matters. These individuals do not usually plan their future but they can intelligently cope with the flow of their lives whether good or bad things happen. They are emotionally strong and are physically fit. Most women Sheep are into outdoor activities while the male ones tend to focus their energy on their jobs or business.
