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.
Oxen in China are put on a pedestal. So it goes with Oxen people. Oxen are bright, peace-loving, often easy-going and trusting.
But, on the other hand, they can also be stubborn, methodical, and fiercely competitive, with, shudder, fierce tempers to
boot. Oxen are natural born mentors and life is filled with examples of people who have gone on to great success because of
them. Mentally and physically alert to the point of genius, many Oxen belong to Mensa. They can create the most imposing structures,
magnificent sculpture, and homes. They respond like poets to the beauties of nature and of solitude. Oxen are unique, they
are The Flower that bursts through the crack of cement.s. 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.

YOUR ELEMENT - WATER
Those of you born on September 2, 1973 fall under the influence of the Chinese astrology element of Water. You act with the
assured fluidity of a river, affecting your environment with your strength and quiet charm. Creative and captivating, diplomatic
and intuitive, Water individuals are the masters of subtle persuasion. Without even appearing to try, you can gain someone's
trust and affection, and once you've got them they'll follow you anywhere. You make everyone feel special, noting and praising
each person's unique talents.
With Water Oxen you never have to sit around listening to boring lecturing and long-winded yada-yada. Through quiet self-assurance,
they simply carry on with life, setting examples by deed, never by words. They make extraordinary leaders. They inspire others
to do their best, through kind patience, knowing that even waiters finally come to those who wait. Realistic and open-minded
about the foibles of others, they are rewarded with unexpected surprises when people turn around and show their best attributes.
Tit for tat!. Their stable careers and "living right" give them the potential to be enormously wealthy, and they frequently
are. For Oxen in general, love life is somewhat of a mystery, but immensely satisfying, interwoven very nicely with contrasts
of quietude and passion, solitude and togetherness.
Your inherent pliability, the fluid calm that makes you so appealing, can also make you sometimes too passive, too willing
to be what someone wants you to be. You tend to take the shape of whatever container you're poured into.Rather than letting
others dam up your energies, let yourself flow freely!
OX FORECAST IN YEAR OF THE ROOSTER:
A year of achievement and opportunity in prospect but that doesn't mean that finances will take of themselves so stay alert.
A good year too for friendship and romance, especially if you make an effort to lighten up a bit when you realise you're getting
a bit intense.
This is one of your better years with much support from the Rooster. Be careful about accidents this year and avoid any dangerous
situations. Clarify anything to do with the law in advance of any new projects. Enjoy yourself this year and it will help
you to move ahead.
Subjected to opposing influences, you'll be torn between the desire to act and the fear of defeat, especially in your work.
However, thanks to your willpower, you'll end up getting rid of your fears and achieving your projects. Heartwise, you'll
need the support of your mate. Don't let a climate of distrust settle in.
