This should be one of the most stable years in the Oriental sequence, in which the results of previous efforts and ideas should be seen. The ox teaches us that we receive the rewards of life in direct proportion to the efforts that we have put into it, which means that those who have wasted previous opportunities will not be rejoicing when the year of the dutiful Ox comes around again. Traditionally, this year is said to be a good one for making contractual agreements, which implies that it is an excellent year in which to get married. However, the proviso of the Ox year goes something like this: if plans have been made previously ( such as during the year of the Rat), all will be well, but if spur-of-the-moment decisions are made, the outlook is not so good. Slow and steady progression is favored this year, so whatever you do, don’t expect fast results.

The fortunes of the Ox.

When the Ox is in its own year the pressures of life will ease and you’ll feel carefree and happy. So carefree, in fact, that, usually for you, you may be tempted to do something risky. Don’t worry: the momentary urge will pass, and you’ll again find yourself capable of making far-reaching, sensible decisions that will last well beyond the Ox year itself. Change that which needs to be changed now, before life becomes complicated once more and you lose your impetus.
