OX (or BUFFALO)
WINTER is your season.
JANUARY is your month. |
Personality :
A Chinese proverb says, "The ox is slow but the earth is patient". You go through life with determination and common sense. You love nature and so like working outdoors. You also like quiet cottages, and have respect for traditions. You are solid, with a quiet interior force that people can count on. You also have a great sense of humanity, are loyal, honest, upright, faithful, and have integrity. No job turns you off when you have made a decision and you never go back on your word even if it means being unduly stubborn. You suppress your emotions, and hide them most of the time - notably when you are in love because you are afraid of being rejected. You are not afraid of solitude, and prefer spending your evenings in a quiet cottage in the countryside rather than a Parisian lounge watching the beautiful people go by. A little bit rustic, you are not a diplomat, and let others know what you think without hesitation. If someone attacks you, you fight back like a bull with your head lowered and horns ready to gouge your enemy. Those who hurt you or those close to you should watch out: you hold grudges for a long time - excessively so - and never forget a name or a face. You always get sweet revenge... even several years later. Your fault: You're a bad loser and can't stand failure.
Work :
You take on mountains of work with no apparent effort. You are well grounded both physically and mentally, face problems head on and always find a solution that is never "the easy way out". You inspire confidence in those close to you because you keep your word and are respected because of your honesty and steadfastness. You master the workings of business affairs and your strong will always gets you to your fixed objective even if the road is longer than expected. Your endurance is without limits.
Money :
You are reasonable and know how much money you have right down to the penny. You earned your money through sweat and hard work and you are not the kind of person to throw it away on an impulse. You invest in land, real estate, and durable goods, and never spend your money unwisely. Your family lives in relative comfort at home but you have to be pushed out of the house to take part in outings or leisure activities. You are an excellent money manager with the mindset of a countryman: you can live on very little and love seeing your nest egg get bigger and bigger...
Love :
"Slow but sure" is your motto in love. You love pleasure but you never get involved quickly and it is likely that you will remain alone if someone doesn't come looking for you! Passion and ardent declarations of love make you feel uneasy. You like to establish a relationship slowly, step-be-step, and take time getting to know a person to learn to appreciate them. To attract you, the person you are seeking has to gain your confidence, respect nature, be very tender, and have nothing against slipping on some comfortable slippers!
In The Year Of The Goat The Ox Needs To Be Patient
For Ox, the year of the Water Goat can be a bit frustrating. The natural tendency of Ox is to achieve, to make things happen, to be extremely goal-oriented, tirelessly going towards a predetermined objective. During the period February 1, 2003 to January 21, 2004, these qualities must be moderated positively by Goat influences, if Ox will permit. Ox would rather ignore Goat, and be on the way to achieving Ox dreams. However, Goat will block the way of Ox, unless Ox cooperates with the message Goat has for the year 2003. Water Goat is a Yin year, in which the predominant energy is passive and receptive. Goat would like Ox to use more intuition, to meditate, to consider the organic nature of life, and to embrace infinite possibilities. Ox would rather focus on one concrete goal at a time. To be smart this year, the Ox will agree with Goat to consider several options and to include opposing points of view when discussing important matters. Simply opening the mental and emotional doors to the possibility that Goat has good things to offer will go a very long way to having harmony in daily dealings with people. The Water Goat year brings people that think very differently from Ox, so Ox must be alert and avoid prejudice and superior attitudes which will only anger Goat, causing flooding of emotions onto Ox. Ox can make many unfortunate enemies unless Ox uses the Goat as a teacher of acceptance and tolerance.
