The 5 Elements
For example the 2010 Tiger Year had brought different developments for the Goats depending upon their birth year. In fact elderly Goats such as Mel Gibson and Steve Jobs ( Element Wood ) or the German President Horst Koehler ( Element Water ) had a very difficult year while the younger Goats ( Element Metal ) like European Song Contest winner Lena had a remarkable year with giant success.
Also the Fire Goats like Boris Becker had a fine year.
