Some estimate it to be more than 3,000 years old but recent study of more esoteric beliefs place it further back into the clouded past of human history. In ancient China, and up until today Astrology has been used to predict what happens to countries, the outcome of wars, economic trends and much more. Chinese Astrology is organized according to 12 Animals Signs. One Chinese legend attributes the creation of the animal signs to the semi-mythical Yellow Emperor in 2637 B.C. According to another legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only 12 animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each other one in the order that they arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Thus we have 12 signs today. The animal ruling year in which you were born exercises a profound influence on your life. As the Chinese say, "This is the animal that hides in your heart".

Years born : 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997,2009 The ox is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. According to Chinese folklore, each animal is associated with certain personality traits. They are powerful and faithful individuals of good leadership who look before they hop into something new. They also have positive attitudes towards work and family. The Ox is the second Sign of the Chinese Zodiac. It is a Yin Sign commonly associated with the Water Element. Recent Ox years have been 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985 and 1997. Characteristics of the Ox personality profile include straightforwardness, consistency, kindness and a strong work ethic. They do not tolerate any sort of criticism, and can be very stubborn when they believe they are in the right. The Ox is very capable and hardworking, but the flip side of this particular coin is a tendency to be moody, gloomy, conformist and quite often, not to put too fine a point on it, dull. But in their better moments, they can be very gentle, loving and supportive to those who they regard as integral to their well-being. The female Ox may exhibit the following typical traits: you are quite outspoken and concomitantly lacking in tact and good manners, which results in fewer party invitations, but no fear -- this does not bother you as you are essentially a very private person who enjoys the comforts of the fine home atmosphere that you have arranged for yourself. You have worked hard to provide yourself with the best, so who can blame you for wanting to keep everything close at hand for yourself and for the family that you value so much? You have a strong sense of justice -- favors will be repaid promptly and in kind, and offenses will be revisited upon your enemies tenfold, no matter how long it takes, as you have a good head for remembered insults. The male Ox can be a book that does not allow himself to be read. You tend to keep any doubts you may harbor about the way things are going bottled up inside. You are a pessimist at heart, but it is this very caution that prompts your plans for the future -- and you always have a plan of some sort ready to be placed into execution. You are very disciplined and dutiful, but not particularly bright. Your inherent love of personal comfort may preclude your entering into any positions of power in your career, but should you achieve such a position, it would be best for you to avoid the hazards of authoritarian rule by learning how to delegate your authority to trusted subordinates. A sense of trust in general will go far in alleviating your sometimes overly suspicious nature. ¡¡ · 1.56" in diameter, 2.5mm in thick. · Encapsulated in clear plastic case for perfect protection |
