Snake I confess that I did not go clicking about to read the profiles of the Chinese Signs not here, but even if I had, I think that I would still be convinced - given this description - that your Chinese Sign is Snake:
The Snake is graceful, strong and charismatic. They are logical, strategic thinkers, and most often do not reveal their true thoughts. Snakes are generous, empathic, and kind-hearted. They possess a quality of elegance in their manner, and do not respect crass, boisterous or undignified behavior. The Snake cannot comprehend naiveté, and considers this trait in others to be either a lack of intelligence or a secret method of manipulation.
I just think that there is a subtle, elegant nuance in your persona that isn't explained by Aries, Scorpio or Gemini. And wouldn't be explained by - Dragon. And then there is that quote from your father ...
