Goats are highly emotional and sensitive. They are easily weakened by external influences. They don't take criticism well - they get sad and sulky because of their porous nature. But with a little recognition and praise, their confidence is restored.

The kind Goat is timid and restrained, but it is also quite attractive and can sometimes have a jealous side. It despises infidelity, and wants to have peace and harmony at home.

When it comes to professional matters, this sign may choose a career that requires some type of artistic specialization. Goats do very well in industries that involve aesthetics because of their good taste. But if they feel pressured to succeed, it is better to just let them be.
