Bit Metal Dragons don’t need a band of followers to pursue a cause, they will stand or fight alone if need be, just hope you’re not on the opposing side. Chinese Zodiac Signs - Metal Snake Focused of mind and of resolute spirit, the Metal Snake is the most determined of Chinese Zodiac Signs, letting nothing get in the way of their success. Though focused on the object or outcome of their desire, they remain well aware of their surroundings, constantly on their guard against sabotage or ambush. Not that they are paranoid, but they are aware of the competitive and sometimes desperate nature of others, and are disciplined enough not to let themselves forget it. Metal Snakes are very much financially oriented, and the importance they place on money comes rather from the wonderful possessions it can buy them than the security it brings. Unfortunately the self serving/preserving nature of the Metal Snake can make them a risky partner in affairs of the heart, but if you’re willing to take a gamble and a backseat in a relationship; you’ll end up with a passionate partner who’ll be only too happy to share their plethora of toys and good living with you. Chinese Zodiac Signs – Metal Horse Galloping freely through life while avoiding getting corralled pretty much sums up the Metal Horse. They are staunch individuals who cherish their freedom, and any attempts to snare him will have him headed for the hills. A bold and deep-rooted sense of adventure compels the Metal Horse to change partners and jobs quite regularly. A backpacker-type who needs to head into the unknown, he will make a more reliable friend than a lover. Playing by the rules is not always a priority for the Metal Horse, and this makes him a difficult opponent. He’s daring and fierce as well, and will retaliate without hesitation. But his own temper could be his downfall, so Metal Horse types are advised to keep that in mind. By abandoning diplomacy in the heat of the moment, any goodwill will be destroyed making an amicable settlement impossible. Rein that Metal Horse in! Chinese Zodiac Signs – Metal Sheep In order to protect their sensitive and delicate nature, Metal Sheep often project a toughness that’s only surface deep. Relatives and close friends know this, so are not bothered by it, but strangers may misjudge them as being a bit gruff. Often led by their heart rather than their head, Metal Sheep frequently treat others according to how they’re feeling at the time rather than how they should be treated. Sometimes overprotective and vulnerable, they expect the world to revolve around them and their partners. Metal Sheep are insecure in relationships, but can cherish them to a fault. They are self-sacrificing and will do anything for their partners, so must guard against being taken advantage of. They are instinctive in business matters, and if you go into business with a Metal Sheep you won’t regret it, as long as you take the lead. Once assured of by a strong backer, their talents will thrive, bringing success and prosperity to all involved.
