Goats, and especially wild ones, are not especially easy to approach, and will invariably head for the hills at the first sign of an approaching stranger. This at least reflects part of the mental attitude displayed by the human Goat, though it has to be said that the similarities inherent here between animal and human are not so well defined as in the case of other Chinese signs.

It isn't in terms of social niceties that you will find the Goat to be ill-at-ease or inclined to avoid your company. On the contrary the Goat, male or female, is fairly sociable, at least on a superficial level. But once the trivialities are over, the Goat will be anxious to turn the conversation in your direction, mainly because these people have a desire to keep many aspects of their own nature a closely guarded secret. The Goat is, nevertheless, cultured and refined, takes delight in fine- art, literature and the company of intellectual types, and will unburden that deep mind, though only when the recipient is known thoroughly and trusted absolutely.

The Goat can be something of a sensualist, a fact that displays itself in a number of ways. There is a love of good food and drink, and an extravagance when it comes to buying clothes or personal adornments. Despite this, the Goat really cares very little for materialistic considerations and could easily live on a desert island, where the requirements of sensual fulfillment may be no further away than the nearest sleepy lagoon, with its warm sands and coconut palms.

The average Goat is naturally lucky, can be dedicated to a cause it feels strongly about but is likely to be dreadfully insecure, particularly so about relationships. Getting on with others is something "that can be a problem to this creature and it is likely to have many acquaintances though few real friends. You could work alongside a Goat for months or years, without really ever getting to know what makes him or her tick as a human being. Both Mr. and Miss Goat can be equally difficult to get to know, their natural. reserve acting as a sort of a shell to protect them from what they often see as a threatening world. Despite this reserve however, once this individual learns to love, it does so ardently and, true to the nature of the Goat, usually for life.
