Chinese Zodiac Sheep - Virtue outranked ambition even in contests
The Wool-Spun Origin Story
Long ago, the Jade Emperor announced a river race to decide the order of the zodiac years. The compassionate Sheep formed a raft with the Monkey and Rooster so everyone could cross safely, earning the eighth spot and a lasting reputation for teamwork and empathy.
Legends emphasize that Sheep paused mid-race to help villagers, proving virtue outranked ambition even in celestial contests.
Who Is a “Sheep Person”?
If you were born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, or the forthcoming 2027, you graze in the gentle fields of the Sheep.
Traditional texts add that the zodiac year technically begins at Chinese New Year, not January 1, so check the lunar calendar if you were born in January or early February.

Why Extra Care in 2025?
The Wood Snake amplifies yin-wood over yin-earth (Sheep’s native element), which can drain physical energy and heighten emotional sensitivity. Staying grounded with nature walks, curated crystals, and supportive communities will help Sheep convert nervous tension into inspired growth.
Cultural and Spiritual Importance
Sheep symbolize benevolence, righteousness, and artistic grace in classical Chinese thought; they were once called “virtuous livestock” and appear in ancient parables such as King Xuan’s famed “exchanging sheep for cattle.”
Because the sign sits halfway through the 12-year cycle, it also represents balance—a gentle reminder that peace often powers progress.
