Or, if you simply want to discover more about the Ox and the Chinese 12-Animal System, read on!
The Current 12-Year Cycle, Began with Rat Year (2008) and Ends With Pig Year (2019-20) Ox Tales (Ox YEAR TWO of TWELVE 2009):
Earth Ox Year 2009 was the second of the current 12 year Ghanzhi Cycle. Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor (circa 2,700 BCE) introduced the current Chinese Calendar and Ox year was 4706 in Chinese Calendar terms.
The Ox is intelligent, hard-working a natural leader and by nature Oxen are good-tempered, but if they lose it watch out! ‘Prominent’ Oxen include Barack Obama, a Metal Ox. The Element’s hard, strong and enduring nature suggests his obvious resilience and capacity for prolonged hard work. A list of famous Oxen precedes the Ox Horoscope which follows.
In the Elemental Cycle accompanying the 12-Animal Cycle, Elements repeat twice, successively. Ox Year 2009, was second (Yin) of two Earth Years (following Yang Earth Rat Year 2008).
Key Ox-Year qualities include persistence and intelligence. Folk aligning themselves with those of outgoing Rat Year (hard work and sensitivity) first of the cycle’s 12, could build (intelligently) on their efforts through persisting in them for another year.

Personality
Oxen are intelligent, reliable and make natural leaders. They are very determined individuals who willingly endure hardships to achieve their goals. Oxen prosper through their will-power and hard work and are patient and tireless in their endeavours. Reliable, patient, calm and self-effacing they epitomise the ‘strong silent’ type, yet can be most eloquent should the occasion demand this.
Oxen, however, can also be stubborn, dogmatic and judgmental. They prefer to lead and dislike to be pushed around, consequently they frequently need to develop their listening skills. Oxen value their partners, families, and close friends highly and are good at making lasting relationships.
In relationship terms, Oxen are most compatible with those born under the Signs of the Rat and Rooster/Chicken and least compatible with the Tiger and Horse.
Ideal Ox Careers and Occupations Include:
Medicine, Physiotherapy, Construction, Military, Business, Art and Music, Law Enforcement, Education, Law, Insurance, Horticulture, Academia and Archeology.
Ox in The Dragon Year
Ox feet should remain firmly planted on the ground this year and a degree of caution exercised throughout. Uncertainty about career, at work, or with colleagues means Oxen should show patience and avoid disputes.
Swinging this-way- and-that and with potential ups-and-downs also, Ox finances need careful managing. Scrutinise all contracts meticulously before signing and check your bank-balance regularly.
Caution is also the keyword in relationship terms this year for both married and single Oxen.
In Fact
The Yellow Emperor, Huang Di (circa 2,690-2,590 BC) is credited with creation of the Chinese Calendar in its current form, although it is certain it was in use long before this. Yin/Yang and 5 Elements Theories, fundamentally affecting the way his Calendar operates (1),(2) are also credited to the Yellow Emperor and exert powerful influences on events to this day.
Dragon Year 2012-13 is Year 4,710 by this Calendar, which is also used by many other countries of S.E. Asia. The Chinese who also (not surprisingly) invented History as a Subject for study, have the longest written and consistent, chronological record of events on the Planet (one from which we can learn lots!)
