Thanks to a good friend of mine, with whom I work, I have been very interested in Chinese traditions and celebrations so, thanks to Wikipedia and the wonderful people who populate it, I found out that I was born in The Year of the Monkey with the elemental sign of Yang Metal. Which I have to say I'm ecstatic about as I've always been crazy about monkeys and after reading the attributes of Metal I am positive that it describes me very accurately! Incidentally, Mr. Sweet is Yang Fire Dragon which is the only thing with power over Metal... I think I'll keep that quiet....The qualities associated with metal are
-firmness
-rigidity
-persistence
-strength
-determination
The metal person is controlling, ambitious, forceful and set in their ways as metal is very strong; and they are self-reliant and prefer to handle their problems alone. The metal person is also materialistic, business oriented and good at organization and stability. However the metal person can also appreciate luxury and enjoy the good things in life. Just as metal can conduct electricity, the Metal person has strong impulses and generative powers and can bring about changes and transformations for those who come into contact with them. The negative emotion associated with metal is grief, while the positive emotion is courage.
