OX 牛(1913、1925、1949、1961、1973、1985、1997)

The OX is calm, trustworthy, methodical, and sticks to routine works. They have down-to-earth temper and follow the right things rather than their heart. Once the OX gives their word, they will keep it. The OX adheres to fixed patterns and does things only through their proper order. If the OX can learn to cultivate humor and compassion, they will be much happier. The OX is a natural-born leader and disciplinarian and has dynastic tendencies,. The OX will always be an asset to their company and family. They are good listeners and have fair judgment, but public opinions mean little to them because of their stubborn and strong prejudices. They tend to be too rigid, therefore, it is difficult to change the OX’s opinions and beware they can be unapproachable, inflexible and narrow-minded. When the Ox loses their temper, they will act like a bull and attack anyone. The only advisable thing to do is to get out of their way until they cool off. The OX man and woman are traditionalists and take time to develop intimate relationships because they are too slow to show their feelings. If the OX is severely disappointed in love, they will react by plunging themselves into hard work to alleviate their misery and tension. They may bury themselves in their work forever and lead a solitary existence instead of running the risk of ever being humiliated or rejected again. The OX man may be a knight of the most distinguished order, a gentleman of the highest caliber, but he can turn into a fumbling, tongue-tied lad when it comes to wooing his fair maiden. He may not give his wife diamonds but make her life comfortable and be faithful all his life. The OX lady is neat, punctual and she will make an ideal wife. The checkbook will be balanced and the joint account will never overdraw. She will starch shirt’s collar just the way her mother does it, fold newspaper neatly on the breakfast table every day and poach eggs to perfection. The OX born during the day will be more aggressive and active compared to the quiet night OX. Similarly, the winter OX will have more trying times and a leaner life than the summer OX. Of all the twelve signs, the ROOSTER can be a splendid parter for the OX because they can bring their exciting into the OX's life. Both have high respect for authority, admire efficiency and have strong dedication to duty. The affectionate RAT or the wise SNAKE can care deeply for the OX, however, the loyal DOG may find the rigid OX lacking in humor; the trustworthy OX does not care too much company of the withdrawn SHEEP or the rebellious TIGER, who in turn will resent his/her regimentation.
