People born under the year of the Sheep are like this. They are gentle, affectionate, and artistic. They are cooperative and considerate.
However, there is one thing to note. In Myungri, the standard for the Chinese Zodiac sign is not January 1st but Ipchun (立春, around February 4th every year) . So, people born in January 1979 and early February may actually be the year of the Horse in 1978, the previous year. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
