And more......

Pretty much right except on two things. I don't think I'm particuarly prejudiced (stubborn, yes, but...), and I do like romance....

The rock of Gibraltar. An indomitable fortress, a true bulldozer. The Ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Being sincere, loyal and unpretentious, they are very down-to earth character who are reserved and may appear aloof to others. In addition, they are essentially temperate people who care greatly for rigor, labor, strength of character and results! As patient and tireless workers, they can stick to routine and conventions harder and longer than anyone else. Since, they hate to fail or be beaten, they simply never give up. Some call them slow, others complain that they are clumsy, in fact, they intentionally choose to move at their own sweet pace and refuse to be pushed or prodded by others. Simplicity and achievements are sure what they believe in. They are definitely not people who are confused by life but those who will not be deflected from their path.

Although they are generally fair-minded and good listener, it is difficult to make them change their views as they are stubborn and often have strong prejudices. They will make friends but it will take a long time to establish a friendship. With their fierce temper, they tend, however, to be eccentric, bigoted, and easily angered. They also speak little, but when they do, they are quite eloquent.

Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn at times. They hate to fail or be opposed. Still, because of his steady and trustworthy character, the Ox person will be entrusted with positions of authority and responsibility. He will not fall short where duty calls. As a matter of fact, he should be careful not to get carried away.

When it comes to romance, the Ox people are capable of profound, enduring love, yet romance leaves them cold. They prefer action to bed of roses and phials of exotic perfumes. Courtship will be a long one to find that ideal life mate but once found the Ox will be a devoted, loyal and hard working companion.

Forecast of the Year: Quality of life first! That will be your motto for this year. You will do your utmost to take more time to live and to live well than to earn money or to climb the social ladder. And you'll regret having forgotten to live for so long. Profit by this teaching of Epicurus: "When one is young one should begin to philosophize, and when one is old one should not be tired of philosophizing. For it is never too early or too late to work at the health of the soul." Your various activities will be very favorably influenced. But this should not be a reason for counting the chickens before they're hatched. You'll still have to make numerous efforts in order to give your projects solid foundations. Amorous and financial matters in particular will be on the upswing, and you'll be very pleased with them.
