Oxen are unyielding stubborn and hate feeling opposed. In fact, the only thing they hate more is failing. For these reason the people born in the year of the Ox are natural born leaders and powerfully successful one at that.
While an Ox might seem like a scary person to go up against, they tend to be quiet, very patient of others and highly trusted. They can be kind and calm at times and at others completely rude and arrogant. Nonetheless, they enjoy listening to others and usually take a friend or colleague's advice whenever given. Oxen are very orderly and strictly by the book when it comes to their jobs and chores.
Men born in this year are highly impressionable and any scrap of unhappiness tends to leave lasting marks on their personality-especially where girls are concerned. Put an Ox up against a woman and they turn to mush, literally, on the spot. On the other hand, women tend to be serious, but also neat and punctual. Their cooking is to die for and they are very loving and motherly. Perfectionists at heart, woman born in this year try to turn a deaf ear on flattery, as the knowledge of a job well done is more than thanks enough in their eyes. A good deed though, never goes unpaid with an Ox.
