Hello there!
Although technically goats don't like snakes all year round you should be alright as a goat in a snake year because there are no connections between goats and snakes in the Chinese zodiac. It's the rat & ox years you want to watch out for.
Though i would like to add that while being in our 'worst' years can test us, it can also really define who we are. It's like we are presented lessons in these periods and we either learn the lessons or we don't. So it can make us more angry or make us more wise. But the general rule of thumb in China is to avoid making big life decisions in these periods. Better to wait, as a goat, till pig or rabbit years for best effect on all the other animals/years, working in harmony with the whole.

Thank you so much for appreciating this post and the invisible connections between things!
That's why I had such a good year and so many people I know were struggling. A Goat in a Horse year is next and that looks awesome for me. Yay! I will check out the animal in your heart post. Awesome vibes from you and your family. Thank You!
