I'm a snake, and wouldn't say I'm emotional.

So compared to them I would say I'm more of a rock. I have the urge to suffocate someone I love though and I have to restrain that. I know it drives people away and nobody likes feeling like they're under a microscope. I do get attached quickly though but I think that's my Scorpio singletons and opposition to my Moon (maybe PLUS being a Snake? I'm not sure.)

Yeah I wouldnt say snakes are immaturely emotional like the situations you describe.

We're emotional because we're intense and deep and don't take anything lightly. I can definitely relate to everything you said as well. -___-

This is very accurate for me.

I become emotional when it comes to people I care about. When I was younger, I had trouble keeping calm during stressful times and I'd go into hysterics. That doesn't really happen anymore. Not that the emotion isn't there anymore, I just control it better.

I do think the snake pretends to be really innocent, fragile, forgiving, etc. but we are only doing that to charm people. we're revengeful and we definitely will be *** for tat even if we dont notice it at all, and do it automatically. I think at the end of the day the snake is kind of superficial. I'm more interested in dressing nice and having the perfect personality (bc i want to charm others) than in having a kid (bc its too much work) or being hardworking at anything (bc snakes are naturally lazy).

Goat/Sheep

Pig/Boar

Cow/Ox

Rooster/Chicken

Somehow the logic doesn't translate well. Not trying to be ficitious

Ox and Cow = Bovine.
Lamb and Sheep = Hircine.
Pig and Boar = Porcine.
Rooster and Chicken = Delicious = Avine

OK. enough of the showing off English skills

Leporine are hares, aka rabbits. Now felines = cats have long ears. That's about the end of the similarities.

and sheep and goat are interchanged.

haha

and they named the cat a rabbit too because both animals have blank cold stares, expressionless faces usually, and are kind of detached/independent and not that affectionate, even though they still look like cute creatures . I think that describes rabbit people well. they always have those blank starey eyes. they look like cat/rabbit eyes.

I've read that they don't have rabbits in Vietnam, so in their astrology, they used whatever little, smart, furry (fertile?) animal was roundabout to represent the sign. They chose the cat.

That's cool, cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt and all.

Oh come on. I are the most delicious deep fried rabbit dish in Saigon. . They've got rabbits there, for sure. They probably cherish cats a whole lot more. And don't worry, I've never eaten kitty. . But I'm a lot more of a doggie person. Having said that, my frenchies look like cars anyway.

"The Chinese word for rabbit is 'mao', which sounds like 'meo' in Vietnamese, where it means cat. As the sound of the word changed, so did its meaning," Papin said.

Makes sense.

As for Rabbits procreating..honestly we do tend to be prolific. Brangelina are both Rabbits. My parents were both Rabbits and had six children. I'm a Rabbit with five. They say Rabbits are "inscrutable" so maybe that's why people marvel at our clan size.

Now, my apologies RAS for the digression.
