Year Of The Ox
In keeping with my New Year post, A New Year A New Start and Maal Hijrah (Awal Muharram) , I am going to post something about the coming Year of the Ox.
Chinese New Year will be celebrated on Jan 26 in year 2009. Year 2009 is going to be the Year Of The Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work.
Those born under the influence of the Ox are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task or an objective. As we used this great creature long ago to plow the soil day after day, so do Ox people labor through their daily responsibilities either at work or at home without complaint or gripe. Oxen know they will succeed through hard work and sustained effort and find no truth or benefit in concocting get-rich-quick schemes.
Ox babies are those born in the year of1913, 1925,1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009.
