A born leader, the Ox is dependable and can achieve great things whilst being calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring hardship without complaint.

Ox people need peace and quiet to work through their ideas, and when they have set their mind on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise. They have a very logical, intelligent and extremely systematic mind. Although they speak very little, when necessary, they are articulate and eloquent.

People born under the influence of the Ox are kind, caring souls, logical, positive, filled with common sense and with their feet firmly planted on the ground. Security is their main preoccupation in life, and they are prepared to toil long and hard in order to provide a warm, comfortable and stable nest for themselves and their families. Strong-minded, stubborn, individualistic, the majority are highly intelligent individuals who don't take kindly to being told what to do.
