YEAR OF THE OX (2009 CHINESE NEW YEAR)
According to the Chinese Zodiac
Signs, people born in the Year of the Ox are emotionally well
balanced and serene, which makes for stable relationship. They are
completely dependable, extremely hardworking, resolute individuals
who can overcome difficulties and achieve the goals that they have
set for themselves. They show great judgment in choosing their
friends. Once they decide to trust you, they become firm friends
whose help and sound advise are much appreciated. However, don't
ever take advantage of an ox, or you'll find yourself with a sworn
enemy.
The loyal and trusting nature of ox women makes them vulnerable.
They prefer to keep to a familiar circle of family friends rather
than move out into the world. For them, affection and responsibility
go hand in hand. They always give the best of themselves.
Ox men are loners. They enjoy taking command, and deserve the
important posts that they hold.
