People born in the Year of the Ram possess the intriguing duality of shyness and talent for the arts. They are driven by a quest for knowledge; the mysteries of life and faith are often on their mind. They are passionate about what they believe in and find a multitude of ways to articulate their convictions, not always simply through speech. Ram people work hard at their craft and, though their skills often provide them with a comfortable living, they do not harbor a great need or desire for wealth. They are wise and compassionate and people are drawn to them for their tenderness. They are most compatible with Horses, Rabbits and Boars.
