I guess everyone has been pretty busy with the new year celebrations but not enough to forget to think how the year 2009 will be. In the Chinese calendar, 2009 is the year of the Ox.
There are skeptics out there about the accuracy of prediction but hey!, it’s still great at least to know what “might” happen and to be prepared if not so good things are in store.
So, how will the Year of the OX be for us, ordinary folks? First, what are the characteristics of the ox. They appear to be slow and steady, yet they are hardworking, very conventional organizer who wants to put everything in order and turn chaos into reason. Chinese astrologers believe the Ox is just we need to clean up the clutter and chaos the previous year of the rat has made.
The ox should never be underestimated. This is the year for all of us to work hard as it pays and laziness does not. There is no room for anyone looking for a free ride this year. It is the year to get your life on track, to plan and budget for you future, and it will all lessen your stress for the next year as well as secure your position. Rules and tradition will also play an important role this year of the Ox.
Eugenia Last‘s advice, “You must work hard and gain respect for your actions if you want to do well during the year of the Ox. The Ox doesn’t care for sob stories or those looking for a handout. There is nothing less appealing to an Ox than someone wanting his or her way paid for.” So, remember, hardwork is the by-word for the year of the Ox. The Ox calls for simplicity, patience and the ability to work as one.
