Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this 1718 Chinese zodiac thing. Back in them days, it was the year of the Dog, started on Jan 31st. Now, I ain’t no fancy scholar or nothin’, but I heard tell that the Dog is a pretty good sign. Means you’re probably honest and reliable, you know, the kind of person who’ll lend ya a cup of sugar when you’re runnin’ low.
They say if you’re born in the year of the Dog, you get along real good with folks born in the year of the Horse, the Pig, and even another Dog. Makes sense, I guess, dogs like to hang out with other dogs, right? And horses and pigs, well, they’re just good company on the farm. Specially the Pig, they say Pigs are honest and you can count on ‘em, always wantin’ to learn more, and doin’ good things. Like that Rockefeller fella and that Schweitzer doctor, both Pigs, I heard. The Pig, they help the Tiger folks, keep ‘em from doin’ somethin’ stupid and makin’ ‘em feel safe and sound.

But, just like in any ol’ barnyard, not everyone gets along. Take the Rabbit, for instance. They’re kinda quiet and like to go with the flow. But them Rabbits, they ain’t too fond of the Snake or the Rooster. See, Snakes and Roosters, they complain a lot, always findin’ somethin’ to gripe about. Always picky ‘bout this and that. So, if you’re a Rabbit, you might wanna steer clear of them fellers.
Now, if you’re wonderin’ what your sign is, well, you gotta look at the year you were born. They got this whole chart, see? Starts with the Rat, then the Ox, then the Tiger, the Hare… goes on and on. I can’t remember it all, too many critters for this ol’ brain. But you can find it online, easy as pie. Just type in somethin’ like “Chinese zodiac chart” and it’ll pop right up. Then you can see what animal you are and maybe learn a little bit about yourself. Or just ignore it, I don’t care, it’s your life!
This 1718, that’s a long time ago, right? But seems like people still care about this stuff. They wanna know if they’re gonna be lucky, who they should marry, all sorts of things. Me? I just figure you work hard, be kind to folks, and things will mostly work out. Don’t need no zodiac to tell me that.
But, I ain’t sayin’ it’s all hogwash. It’s kinda fun to think about, you know? Like, “Oh, I’m a Dog, so that’s why I like belly rubs so much!” Just take it all with a grain of salt, I say. Don’t let it rule your life, but have a little fun with it.
- Dog is good, honest.
- Pig is reliable, helpful to Tiger.
- Rabbit, Snake, Rooster not friendly.
- Find your sign on a chart.
- Don’t take it too serious!
So, there you have it. A little somethin’ about that 1718 Chinese zodiac and all them animal signs. Hope it made some sense to ya. If not, well, don’t worry about it too much. Just go on and live your life, and be a good person. That’s what really matters, in the end.
And remember, if you wanna know more, just go look it up online. They got all sorts of fancy websites with fancy words. Me? I just tell it like it is, plain and simple. That’s the way I always done things, and I ain’t about to change now.
