The Chinese calendar consists of 12-year cycles, each corresponding to one of the 12 animals, that according to a legend, were the only animals that came to bid farewell to Buddha, when he left Earth. As a reward, he called the consecutive years after the animals in the same order in which they appeared to pay him tribute. The Goat occupies the eighth position in the Chinese zodiac. People born in the Years of the Goat are friendly, natural and predictable. The Year of the Goat lasts from February 19th 2015 till February 7th 2016.
