THE OX PERSONALITIY
THE OX PERSONALITY HAS ALL THE STRENGTH AND POWER THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED OF THIS STURDY BEAST OF BURDEN. YET WHILE MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE FLATTERED TO BE THOUGHT OF AS TRUSTWORTHY AND THOROUGH, OX TYPES ARE USUALLY IRRITATED BY THIS DESCRIPTION. THEY WOULD MUCH PREFER TO BE THOUGHT OF AS ADVENTUROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE; FOR THEM, BEING RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE SOUNDS TO MUCH LIKE BEING BORING. BUT THEY ARE HARDLY DULL: FAMOUS OX TYPES INCLUDE MARGARET THATCHER, HITLER, AND J.S. BACH WHO ALL IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL WAYS REVEAL THE ESSENTIAL TRAIT OF THE OX: A STUBBORN DRIVE TO PURSUE THE CHOSEN COURSE OF ACTION, AND TO ENSURE THAT IT IS COMPLETE.
THE OX IS THE COMPANION SIGN TO THE RAT IN THE HOUSE OF CREATIVITY; WHILE THE RAT IS CONSIDED TO BE THE INNOVATOR, THE OX IS THE FINISHER. THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE OX DOES NOT HAVE A CREATIVE SIDE, BUT AS OX TYPES ARE WARY OF ANYTHING UNTRIED AND UNPROVEN, MANY OF THEIR EXCELLENT IDEAS REMAIN UNTESTED.
THE DOWN TO EARTH OX PREFERS FACTS AND FIGURES TO FANCY NOTIONS. IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY, OTHER PEOPLE WILL SEE THE RATHER PREDICTABLE QUALITIES OF THE OX AS A STEADING INFLUENCE-AT THESE TIMES OX-TYPES CAN RISE TO POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY; BUT WHEN CONDITIONS ARE MORE STABLE, THE OX IS LIKELY TO BE PASSED OVER.
UNROMANTIC TYPES
IN PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, OX TYPES MAY SEEM TO OTHERS TO BE UNROMANTIC, PARTLY BECAUSE THEIR APPROACH TO LOVE IS MORE PHYSICAL THAN SPIRITUAL, BUT BASICALLY BECAUSE THEY KEEP THEIR EMOTIONS TO THEMSELVES. IN ANY CASE, THEY PREFER THE AFFECTION OF A FEW TRUSTED FRIENDS TO CASUAL CONTACT WITH MANY ACQUAINTANCES.
THE OX YEAR
THE CHINESE ASTROLOGERS OF OLD DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE CERTAIN FAVOURABLE YEARS WHICH ALWAYS SEEMED TO USHER IN A PERIOD OF STABILITY. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY HAVE BEEN LITTLE OF INTEREST TO RECORD IN THE HISTORY BOOKS FOR THOSE YEARS, THE ABSENSE OF WARS, CLIMATIC DISASTERS, DYNASTIC UPHEAVALS, OR OTHER IMPEDIMENTS,MEANT THAT PLANS FOR ANY EXISTING PROJECTS COULD GET UNDERWAY WITHOUT HINDRANCE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, WHEN THOSE DISTANT SAGES WERE COMPILING ANIMAL NAMES TO BE TITLES FOR THE YEARS, THEY CHOSE THE OX TO SYMBOLIZE THE CONSTANCY AND STEADINESS WHICH WAS THE PRINCIPAL FEATURE OF THE SECOND YEAR IN THE 12-YEARS ASTROLOGICAL CYCLE.
DEVELOPE YOUR IDEAS
DURING THE YEAR OF THE OX, IT IS BEST TO KEEP TO THE ESTABLISHED ROUTINE. WHILE IT IS NOT GENERALLY ADVISABLE TO EMBARK ON NEW PROJECTS, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO DEVELOPE THOSE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BEGUN THE YEAR BEFORE.
IT IS A LESS FAVOURABLE PERIOD TO BEGIN NEW PROJECTS,UNLESS THEY CAN BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE YEAR'S END. BY THE SAME TOKEN, IT IS A GOOD YEAR FOR MARRIAGE, BUT LESS PROMISING FOR AN ENGAGEMENT.
OX RELATIONSHIPS
WITH A TIGER
WITH THE RAT
WITH ANOTHER OX
AN IMMOVABLE OX MEETING AN IRRESISTIBLE TIGER MAKES AN UNLIKELY PARTNERSHIP AND CREATES ITS OWN PROBLEMS. THERE MAY BE FIREWORKS, BUT THIS COULD LEAD TO A LIVELY RELATIONSHIP.
A HAPPY PARTNERSHIP; THEY WILL BE TOTALLY LOYAL TO EACH OTHER, PERHAPS LEADING A VERY CLOSE-KNIT, PRIVATE EXISTENCE. THE TWO TYPES ARE CLOSELY IN HARMONY THAT THEY OFTEN THINK ALIKE.
THE RAT AND THE OX ARE ASTROLOGICAL PARTNERS; THE OX OFTEN PATIENTLY FINISHES WHAT THE RAT BEGINS AND LEAVES. A HAPPY PARTNERSHIP WHETHER IT IS BUSINESS OR ROMANCE.
WITH THE HARE
WITH THE DRAGON
WITH THE SNAKE
THE OX MAY BE WON OVER BY THE CHARISMA OF THE DRAGON, BUT THE TWO ARE SO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT THAT THEY NEED THEIR OWN SPACE. IF BOTH FOLLOW THEIR SEPERATE INTERESTS THEY WILL STICK TOGETHER.
THIS RELATIONSHIP WORKS BETTER AS A FRIENDSHIP THAN AS A ROMANCE; IN THE LATTER CASE THERE IS BOUND TO BE JEALOUSY, SINCE THE OX VALUES LOYALTY, AND THE HARE PRIZES ITS FREEDOM.
A STRANGE RELATIONSHIP, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FOR THE OX. THE TWO PARTNERS ARE VERY DIFFERENT, YET EACH BENEFITS FROM THE OTHER'S SPECIAL QUALITIES IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS.
WITH THE SHEEP
WITH THE HORSE
WITH THE MONKEY
THERE HAS TO BE DEEP LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING FOR THE RELATIONSHIP TO SURVIVE; DEEP-SEATED DIFFERENCES ARE DIFFICULT TO DISLODGE, WHILE FAMILY QUARRELS OFTEN THREATEN HAPPINESS.
ALTHOUGH THESE TWO PERSONALITIES THINK THAT THEY HAVE MUCH IN COMMON, IT IS THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCES WHICH CAUSE RIFTS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. SOME CONFRONTATION IS POSSIBLE HERE.
THIS PARTNERSHIP IS MORE OF A FRIENDSHIP THAN A ROMANCE, AND IS PROBABLY THE RESULT OF A SHARED INTEREST, SINCE EACH PARTNER HAS COMPLEMENTARY SKILLS WHICH THE OTHER ADMIRES.
WITH THE PIG
WITH THE DOG
WITH THE ROOSTER
ALTHOUGH ROMANCE AND ADVENTURE MAY BE LACKING IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF LOVE, AS A HAPPY HOME AND A CONTENT FAMILY WILL EVENTUALLY PROVE.
IF THESE TWO ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP, THEN WELL AND GOOD. BUT THE OX AND DOG PERSONALITIES USUALLY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WORK DUE TO SUSPICION AND INSINCERITY.
TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, BOTH GOING THEIR SEPERATE WAYS, AND YET BOTH HAPPILY MATCHED. A VERY SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP - LIFE PROMISES TO BE FULL OF SURPRISES.
THE YEAR OF THE OX
STUDY THE CHART BELOW TO FIND OUT HOW EACH CHINESE ZODIAC CHARACTER IS LIKELY TO FARE YOU DURING THE OX YEAR.
THE OX
THE TIGER
THE HARE
THE RAT
THOUGH NOT A PARTICULARLY MEMORABLE YEAR-UNLESS YOU GET MARRIED, THIS IS GENERALLY A HAPPY AND PROGESSIVE YEAR.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TIME TO DEVELOPE ANY PROJECTS THAT WERE BEGUN LAST YEAR. BUT BEWARE OF EMBARKING ON FRESH VENTURES.
BEWARE OF DELAYS AND OBSTACLES. YOU MAY BE FRUSTRATED IN YOUR PLANS, ESPECIALLY FOR TRAVEL. THERE ARE GREATER BENEFITS AT HOME.
THIS IS YOUR OWN YEAR; USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR REAPING IN THE REWARDS FOR ALL YOUR LABOURS.
THE SHEEP
THE HORSE
THE DRAGON
THE SNAKE
THE FEWER THE EXPECTATIONS, THE LESS THE DISAPPOINTMENT. THIS YEAR BRINGS ITS SHARE OF OBSTACLES IN BUSINESS AND IN RELATIONSHIPS.
FOR THOSE CONTENT TO PROGRESS SLOWLY AND STEADILY, THE YEAR WILL PROVE SATISFACTORY; BUT IT WOULD BE UNWISE TO TRY TO FORCE THE PACE.
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED IF EVERYTHING DOES NOT GO YOUR WAY THIS YEAR. TRY TO AVOID ANY RISKY VENTURES. NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER.
THIS YEAR BRINGS ITS SUCCESSES AND REWARDS, PARTICULARLY TO THE STUDENT.IT IS AN ADVANTAGEOUS PERIOD: MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
THE PIG
THE DOG
THE MONKEY
THE ROOSTER
AN IDEAL TIME FOR FAMILY CONCERNS. TAKE ANY OPPORTUNITIES WHICH PRESENT THEMSELVES, AS NEXT YEAR HOLDS LESS PROMISE.
WATCH YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION THIS YEAR, AND DO NOT LET YOUR PLANS BE TOO AMBITIOUS AS THERE ARE LIKELY TO BE SOME SETBACKS.
THIS IS A PERIOD OF IMMOBILITY WHICH MAY BE A BAD THING. IT IS A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW MATTERS WHICH HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED.
TRY TO ORGANIZE YOUR PRESENT POSITION, AND DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN A DEMANDING SITUATION , AS THERE IS A PROMISE OF EXCITING CHANGE.
