Each year also carries an element. Wood Goat brings growth and generosity — expansive, co-operative, always reaching for more room; Fire Goat brings heat and drive — passionate, restless, quick to act and quick to burn; Earth Goat brings weight and patience — steady, practical, the one who stays put and endures; Metal Goat brings edge and resolve — determined, self-contained, unwilling to bend; Water Goat brings depth and flow — reflective, persuasive, finding the way around rather than through.
