According to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth.
Only twelve came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order that they arrived.
First to arrive was the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep. Followed then by, the Monkey, the Rooster, Dog, and Boar.
The twelve animals we have today.
The animal ruling the year in which you were born exercises an influence on your life. The Chinese say
This is the animal that hides in your Heart’
A congenial way forward! (Extracts taken from T Lau, Chinese Horoscope Handbook)
The OX year
This year is a time for both stoicism and discipline. Time to work hard towards cultivating aspirations, realising dreams enabling achievement, . Be good-natured and show respect and be considerate to each other. Conflicts will arise mainly from poor communication lack of giving and inward thinking. A disciplined approach to challenges of the 21st century is required, your sharing and goodwill to others will be rewarded the demands of the 21st century dictate open-mindedness as key. For those of a rebellious nature it’s worthwhile to note that although the OX is soft-spoken the OX wields much power over this year a period of much growth lays ahead of us.
