Traits of the Ox, according to Chinese Zodiac

Those born in the year of the Ox are strong in every sense of the word. Strong-willed, they have a strong backbone, and sometimes, to their detriment, they are firmly opinionated. The Ox is trustful and reliable; sticking to their word is utterly vital to them. You will also find that their patience does not run out quickly, making it easy for people to engage with them in school, work, and within a relationship. It must be highlighted, though, that although they're patient, if they do lose their temper, it is not a temper that can be reckoned with. With that, they can come across as hasty and explosive. As far as social skills are concerned, those born during the year of the Ox are not very friendly and may seem mundane and boring to strangers around them.

Owing to their reliable nature, they are mostly serious and quiet, which again, may not invite people from outside their inner circle to engage with them or start a conversation. Being introverted can sometimes make them feel lonely and detached from society or friends. Only those in their inner circle have a better idea and understanding of their true essence, and that's why it may take them long to build a relationship or friendship.

People born in the year of the ox are incredibly dependable as they possess a heightened characteristic of common sense. They are also hard-working, and with all the attributes in mind, they succeed and are easy to work within a work or school set up.

Metal Energy

Overall, the remnants of last year's energy will present themselves in the first half of this new year. Last year was the year of the metal rat, which brought about aggressiveness and complete transformation. So this energy will also overlap for the first half of this year with a gradual improvement after that.

The Year For Longlasting Relationships

The new Chinese year 2021 will bring a significant shift within an Ox' intimate life this year. As mentioned, those born in the year of the Ox often find it hard to find good relationships because of their seriousness and anti-social nature. However, this year will bring about fruitful relationships and friendships that will have deep-rooted meaning for them. That's why if you focus on your relationships and state your needs, you will see things will start to manifest positively. Those that are single may finally find a partner, and those who are not will experience a more profound relationship with their current partners.

Aren't You Just Lucky?!

Regarding finances, the Chinese new year 2021 calendar shows short term projects are expected to prove successful. However, there is an importance in planning projects in advance, with a careful framework and logical planning. So if planning may take a little more energy, it is OK, and every thought that goes towards the process should be rational. In other ways, there will also be a lot of hard work, and achieving goals need a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation.

Overall, those who take their business and work affairs seriously and invest time in their financial gains are forecasted to reap the rewards in significant ways. They will have a lot of luck and benefits in the end.

How will the Ox' reigns influence the 12 Chinese zodiac signs?

The ox's temperaments and luck will also influence the rest of the Chinese zodiac signs. This is where one will have to tread carefully in certain areas while at the same time, will be able to benefit from the positive attributes deriving from an ox's traits.

Love & Social Outcomes

The ox is known for its explosive temper that can have severe repercussions and cause endless ripples. This will also affect the rest of the signs, more so for the tiger, goat, dog, and horse. Without precaution, it can cause irreversible damage to any kind of relationship. Breakups and intimate isolation can occur if there's no mutual understanding between partners, this can cause a snowball effect and cause concern. There should be a focus on relationships and deeper bonds that can manifest and, ultimately, can be magical if emotions and effort take place.

From a social standpoint, most zodiac signs will manifest and thrive in unfamiliar territory and build stable social interactions that will aid in work and even friendships.

Work & Creativity

Workwise means that all zodiac signs will at some point have to reconsider their priorities. Intrinsic factors will take the lead, with companies and entrepreneurs having to use a full, creative force to stand out from the rest within their respective industries. Because of the after-effects of last year's aggressive energy, another factor that will need to be taken on a serious level is communication. Whether it's communication within teams or based on customer support, this is what the energies will need to attach themselves to with a higher need of help, trust, and loyalty.

Health & Lifestyle

We've seen how the metal years are directly connected to respiratory complications, and the same word of caution applies to this year. From a lifestyle point of view, take time to recharge, enjoy the outdoors, get fresh air, and practice mindfulness in a form that you enjoy most; meditation, yoga, reading, learning, and so on. Realignment is crucial too, and so taking time for yourself is generally recommended for all Zodiac signs.
