The Sign
of the Ox.
Born
leaders, Ox people inspire confidence from all those around them.
They are conservative, methodical, and good with their hands. However, they
can be at times chauvinistic and demanding. In fact, the strength of an Ox
person comes out in great shows of determination, obstinance, and defense
for what they believe in. Although they enjoy their private life and doing
things on their own, Oxen are strong, dutiful and reliable. They construct
firm bonds with their home and family, and while not the most romantic of
the animals, Oxen make affectionate, faithful partners and lovers.
Those born
under the influence of the Ox are fortunate to be stable and persevering.
The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people
could equal the resolution and fearlessness the Ox exhibits when deciding to
accomplish a task or an objective. As we used this great creature long ago
to plow the soil day after day, so do Ox people labor through their daily
responsibilities either at work or at home without complaint or gripe. Oxen
know they will succeed through hard work and sustained effort and find no
truth or benefit in concocting get-rich-quick schemes.
Pragmatic and
down-to-earth, Ox people are motivated to work hard and have no respect for
lazy or careless people. Although they can be easily trusted and find it
easy to put trust in others, they are not dependent on friends and family
and would rather find an answer or a solution themselves than to ask these
people for help or guidance. However, others can, without a doubt rely on
Oxen, who are always honest and meticulous about their responsibilities.
While they do not feel the need for many distant or acquaintance-oriented
friendships, they value the strong bonds they share with their partners and
families, and make close friends that last a lifetime.
