Goat Chinese Horoscope

With the week beginning under a Goat Moon, this is going to give you an advantage from the start and especially when it comes to being plugged in, emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. While a Goat Moon comes around every four weeks and this is always a valuable chance to check in and get your personal bearings, this first Goat Moon of the new lunar year is a chance to reset your internal compass. Meanwhile, in the heart of the month of the Tiger and its focus on change and transformation, a Full Moon midweek is going to point out where anything needs tweaking.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
The Goat and Snake aren’t exactly friends, but they are definitely not enemies. The Goat, a grass munching vegetarian, sees the Snake slither through the grass with little interest and as both the Snake and Goat are fairly shy and are unlikely to bother the other, at the very least they would each walk away and therefore there is nothing confrontational about their coupling. In fact, after the drama filled Year of the Dragon the peace-loving Goat will feel right at home in the quiet, calm of the Snake Year. The Snake doesn’t see the Goat as a threat and appreciates his empathetic nature. The Snake and Goat also share a love of life’s pleasures, so this should be a smooth and stable year for you, which after the turbulent Dragon Year is just what you need.

The Goat has a need to feel protected and the Snake loves to advise, so you should find that people come into your life that offer either practical or moral support, giving you the confidence to sense that you’re not in this alone and you don’t have to shoulder your own and everyone else’s responsibilities without someone looking after your interests. Goats can become a little bit too independent, especially when times are tough, and you feel that the only one you can really rely on is you. This is likely to have been the case last year, but the Year of the Snake allows you to take your defences down, after being overwhelmed by the Dragon’s influence.

This is going to see your confidence rise and as a result, your social life should pick up and no longer feeling threatened you are likely to open up more and extend your social circle. Learning and travel are back on the agenda this year, with the Snake giving you a chance to dust off your bucket list and if you can combine this with networking, then all the better. While the Snake requires a frugal approach to money you should have that down pat by now, with pursuing your creative passions the route to financial gains this year. Your love life looks good this year, with a foreign or exotic influence thrown in for good measure.

About the Goat
Goats are sensitive, kind and loving creatures. They are also creative, artistic and sometimes eccentric. The Goat is the zodiacal archetype of genuine goodness and consideration. Goats are lucky about being in "the right place at the right time."

Goats definitely don't like to stand out in a crowd and will always hide in the wings, but they are elegant creatures and can be very creative. In general, they are serene, home-loving and nurturing.

They have a need to be loved and are at times, emotionally gloomy. Goats do not take criticisms well due to their sensitivity. They are extremely passive and will only fight under extreme provocation.

Their gentility and generosity with sympathy often leads them to be exploited by others. Goats are at best paired in business with a partner who is more aggressive than themselves, such as the Horse. In romantic relationships, they fare well with partners who have complimentary qualities that balance their trusting and gentle nature, as oppose to those who resemble them.
