Year of the Sheep Chinese Zodiac Black Red Poster

A black sheep or lamb with blue eyes and spiral curly fleece, with sunfire red orange yellow circle background image, red symbol meaning "sheep" (it also means "goat", which is why the Sheep year is sometimes called the Year of the Goat). The Sheep's ruling elements are Earth and Fire, with a little bit of Wood. Red is the color of Fire, and Fire "creates" Earth. The black sheep is a sign of individuality; the sheep's spiral curls are all similar but unique, much like sheep in a flock or people in a crowd! The spiral shape is often found in nature, from tiny snails' shells to rams' horns to immense spiral galaxies. Spirals relate to evolution, progress, life cycles, balance or centering. You can replace the Year of the Sheep text with your own message if you want, or remove the text entirely. To change font size, style or color, use the customize feature. You can also use this option to change the background color (customize-edit-background), or move or resize the design elements if you're feeling creative! The Year of the Sheep is in fact a creative one - the arts flourish, romance reigns and the pace is much more easygoing than in the previous Year of the Horse. The Sheep is the eighth sign of the Chinese zodiac, and eight is a lucky number in Asian culture. This poster makes a great gift for yourself or another special person in the Year of the Sheep 2015, or for anyone born in a Sheep year. The Year of the Sheep occurs every twelve years including 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015 and 2027. Note that the Chinese Lunar New Year falls in Jan or Feb, and dates can fluctuate ... so people born in one of those months may be the sign of the previous year, the Horse. In 2015 the Sheep year runs from Feb 19 2015 to Feb 7 2016. Happy Year of the Sheep!
