The second sign in the Chinese zodiac, the Ox marks the start of a 12-year cycle. People born as Oxen have unique qualities that shape who they are.
The Ox are born in the year 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021.
The Ox are the ones who work hard and get things done. They are diligent and have strength of purpose. The persistence of people born in the year of the Ox is such that they won’t stop until they have finished the job at hand. The high standards the Ox set for themselves often make them severe. This is probably why the Ox tend to be quite stodgy and standoffish in social situations. No party animal, the Ox are often quiet at a gathering.
But never ever think that the Ox are a pushover. Although they appear tranquil, the Ox are actually capable of terrible rages. Impulsive when angry, the Ox often desire to get back at people who have wronged them.
The Ox are great at crafting methods and schemes. Hardworking and patient when faced with a task, the Ox impose high stantdards on the people they work with, which is why they often have little patience for people who don’t get results.
Flexibility is not the Ox’s strongest suit. So the description “stubborn as an ox” would be quite appropriate indeed.
They are very observant and are blessed with a good memory. They are the ones in the group who are most likely to remember the person introduced to the gang at a party that happened months ago.
As a friend or lover, the Ox are reserved and quiet. They are not the type who laugh out loud at your jokes, or shower you with kisses, or gush at your stories. They are not demonstrative of their affections. But they are caring and family oriented. Known to be responsible and loyal, they are not the jealous type.
