year of the OX

Feng shui expert said that 2009 is the year of the OX (basically, the earth element will prevail). Does this mean? Greener pasture is on the farm side and money will be abundant to hardworking farmers? What about for me? I’m not a farmer and I don’t even have my own lot to cultivate, though I was born in the year of the OX. Should my luck expire? (laugh..) Here are a hit and miss thoughts about year of the OX particular to year i was born. THE SIGN OF THE OX - Pragmatic and down-to-earth, Ox people are motivated to work hard and have no respect for lazy or careless people. Although they can be easily trusted and find it easy to put trust in others, they are not dependent on friends and family and would rather find an answer or a solution themselves than to ask these people for help or guidance. However, others can, without a doubt rely on Oxen, who are always honest and meticulous about their responsibilities. While they do not feel the need for many distant or acquaintance-oriented friendships, they value the strong bonds they share with their partners and families, and make close friends that last a lifetime. Though they are quite open-minded, once Ox people have made a decision about something, they rarely change it. This is a defining characteristic that can be seen as obstinacy, but it is actually the way an Ox learns to be strong, brave and straightforward. It is the way the Ox learned to take on tasks and responsibilities and how he learns to be reliable for others. Oxen are more comfortable with the well-known as opposed to the unfamiliar. Yet, beneath their unpretentious, tranquil exterior lies a heart of gold and a motivation to prosper. OXEN FACTS: People born in the Year of the Ox share certain characteristics.

Anyways, whether it’s the year of the ox, rabbit, pig, etc; It will always be us who make our future nobody can forecast what and where will we be. Always keep your faith on to whatever you believe in.
