Water Goat personality
Water adds receptiveness to the Goat's gentle manner, making imagination and attention to another person's feelings especially prominent. The strength is finding an approach that feels considerate without needing to dominate the exchange. Its counterpoint is absorbing too many concerns: distinguishing one's own wishes from the surrounding mood becomes important when several people want different things.
