Ox



Mine is the stabilising force
That perpetuates the cycle of life.
I stand immobile against the
Test of adversity.
Resolute and unimpeachable.
I seek to serve integrity,
To bear the burdens of righteousness.
I abide by the laws of nature
Patiently pushing the wheel of Fate.
Thus I shall weave my destiny.


I am the Ox.

How the Ox fares in the Year of the Cat (Rabbit) 1999

A fair year for the Ox although he still has many loose ends to tie up and other problems to settle. He could still lose on some investments or fail to collect debts owed to him. His health is protected although he may experience some sorrow at the death of someone close to him. Progress is steady.

And the following Year of the Dragon (2000)

A moderate year as many changes and unexpected troubles keep the Ox busy. Plans will be realised but not as quickly as he wishes. He will have to work hard although he will come in contact with helpful and influential people.
