The
Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and
solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable
and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend
to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the
step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight
of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and
believe in doing things right the first time.
The
world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of
loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and
tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they
can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what
makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox
who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends
and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they
don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend,
family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender
and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.
Out in
the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic,
my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to
back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think
they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to
that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and
honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on
the Ox.
A good
lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature
that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to
value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their
hearts to invite others in.
The
most compatible match for an Ox is the Snake
or the Rooster. |
