The Year of the Ox
26th January 2009 - 14th February 2010, is the Year of the Ox.
The Ox Personality
Oxen are seen as the big friendly giants of the chinese zodiac thanks to their patient,
hard-working and reliable nature. But don't mistake the big friendly giant
for a dim-witted one. Oxen are quite capable of being creative and thinking for
themselves. Sure, it make take a little longer than most, but the thoughts
and ideas themselves are well worth the wait.
Ox are very practical and calm creatures who enjoy familiar surroundings and prefer
to follow daily routines. They are are content to nuture and follow a process
in a methodical way and as such they really enjoy gardening, cooking, teaching and
even doing figures. Once they get the hang of something, they become ridiculously
good at it. However, in contrast to their calm nature, Oxen can have a sursprisingly
quick temper that only comes out if you touch on a sore spot. Think of showing
a red flag at a bull. That's when the Ox will spring out like a different person
where only moments ago, they were pacid and content.
At first, the Ox in love can be hesitant or even stubborn to enter into a relationship,
because it means that their routine will change and that they may not be in control
of everything anymore. Oxen once they have entered into a relationship can be one
of the most loyal and dependable of the zodiac. They are a straight-forward
kind of person and as such, expect their partners to be that way too. But it's because
of this that they also tend to miss some of the more subtle romantic messages making
them appear distant. Don't despair, because once they embrace the changes
to their life that the relationship has brought with it, they will learn to love
the way their partner loves it and as with most things the oxen learns, become very
good at it.
