Happy Niu (Ox) Year!!

Today starts the beginning of the Chinese New Year! The Year of the Ox. Ox in Chinese is "Niu". Meaning good luck and prosperity. I am an "ox" being that I was born in 1973. Gary is the year of the "Dog". Another person that is an ox is our new President, Barack Obama.


People who are "Year of the Ox":
Personality Traits:
 People born under the sign of the Ox are generally calm, dependable, patient and unflagging. The Ox is symbolic of prosperity that is achieved through hard work.  Although obstinate they do have logical minds and will not be easily frightened. They appreciate that in order to achieve success things must be done in a certain methodical and correct way.  Ox people are seldom deprived and tend to be both reliable and conventional. They are patient, but once angry and incensed it will be difficult to reason with them, they also have a propensity to hold grudges. Ruled more by their heads than hearts they are full of pride and uncompromising and in order to be happier they should nurture their sense of humor.


About the "Year of the Ox":
The Year of the Ox is one in which success will escape without a sustained, mindful effort.  The sort of problems that are encountered in the year of the Ox tend to be home front problems that seem to be never ending.  The Ox year needs discipline and it is not the time for unruly behaviour or taking short cuts.  In this year success is achieved solely through hard work.
