Ox

The Ox is reliability, patience and steady work. You move toward a goal slowly and surely, you keep your word, and you have no taste for shortcuts. People lean on you the way they lean on a stone wall.

In love

In love you are faithful and solid, and you hide feeling behind a calm surface. You build for the long run, without hot promises made for a minute.

In work

You are hard to replace where stamina, discipline and quality matter. You carry heavy work to the end, and you dislike being rushed.

Strengths and weak spots

Strong in reliability, patience, diligence, honesty Weak in stubbornness, slowness, a heavy temper Gets on with Snake and Rooster Clashes with Goat

What to keep in mind

The animal of the year is one stroke, the same way a sun sign is. It describes the cast of your character. It does not hand out fate and it does not replace the whole chart of the sky. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign against the date of Chinese New Year.

FAQ

Which years are Ox years?

1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033. The circle repeats every twelve years. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign against the date of Chinese New Year.

Who is the Ox compatible with?

The easiest match is inside its own trine: Snake and Rooster. The hardest is the opposite sign, which is Goat. Still, one animal of the year is a rough measure, and full compatibility takes two charts of the sky.

Ox is only the year you were born. The Moon, the ascendant and the planets are waiting in the full chart.
