Your Chinese Zodiac Sign: Year of the Earth Ox

According to Chinese Zodiac, it is the Year of the Earth Ox. I think your Dad is a Goat (along with your Nana?) and I am a metal Monkey. It said you are compatible with the Rat with is your Uncle Ryan. Since his girlfriend is an Ox, this could be true! ;) Apparently it is a highly favored sign in China. I don't know much about this so I googled and found this:

Babies Born In The Year of the Ox
"Babies born under this sign are said to be intelligent and hard working. Although they tend not to be easily sociable, their honesty and eloquence makes the Ox a born leader. A secure and steady home life, spending time with family and close friends, are the dominant social contacts for this sign. The earth influence strengthens the ox's earth nature for those born in this year making them especially gifted planners and serious about doing the work to bring their plans to completion. The bullish and belligerent aspects of the ox are toned by the addition of this year's nurturing earth force. These are leaders to be followed with trust and good partners for a life filled with good fortune.
The ox is steady and disciplined and not a friend of quick changes. When faced with obstacles that cannot be overcome by planning, hard work or analysis — the ox can be an angry life partner or business associate who does not easily forgive. The ox does not forget that the rat used his broad back to win the first place of honor at the side of Buddha, but the ox still values the friendship of the rat and is content when trust is not betrayed.
Those born under this sign are always ready with kindness and assistance for family and friends in need, but those willing to listen to the advice that is offered will find this to be the greatest gift from the insightful ox. Steady intelligence, the ability to see what is important and the discipline to work until the goal is met are traits that bring success in both business and personal affairs. Those that follow the ox walk an easier road."
