happy cheena new year everyone!

i was curious about my chinese zodiac sign so i went and found out.. here are some excerpts from what i have read. most are pretty true. i have a feelin those born in the year of an Ox would have a great time reading thru the following! hey.. dun take it seriously kk? coz its all off the net..
i'm just saying coz the reports for the ox is not very good.

Never ask an Ox the question unless you wanna hear the truth.
Oxes may appear docile, but watch out! They also have quite a temper. They are extremely determined and work tirelessly to get what they want. Step by step and piece by piece, they move steadily toward their goals. People born under the sign of the Ox are dependable and stick to a routine until the job is done. They are fair-minded and good listeners, but they can also be extremely stubborn.

Because of their trustworthy character, Oxes will often hold positions of authority and responsibility. They always get ahead in the world. They must be careful not to become slaves to their jobs or profession. Oxes can be forceful leaders and eloquent speakers when the occasion arises. In troubled times they will have great presence of mind and will never be intimidated. They are very proud souls. Oxes are systematic and respect traditions. They mistrust things they don't understand,and they hate loose ends.They can also be vulnerable in romance. They are so straightforward that they don't relate to the love games others play. Since it takes a long time to develop intimate relationships, Oxes like long courtships. Once they have made up their minds, they are loyal and giving-almost to a fault.

Ox people are neat and punctual, honest and hard working. Oxes make ideal mates since they always do more than their share. They have a long memory and remember the little details others miss. Once Oxes are angry with you, they will carry their grievance a long way. When they are unhappy or upset, they will bury themselves in their work until they feel better. Oxes always pay their debts. If they owe you anything, they will never forgive themselves until the debt is paid. They always remember a favor, and though they don't use flowery words,they will show their appreciation in other ways. Their actions speak louder than words.

When Oxes lose their temper, they really lose it! There will be no reasoning with them, so get out of their way until they cool off. Always appeal to the head rather than to the heart of the Oxes. They quickly understand the pros and cons to the situation. Oxes seldom get sick and are not tolerant of weaker people. They should learn how to relax more.

Oxes hate to ask for help. If it takes them twice as long to accomplish something, they still prefer working alone. They want things to last and build them with care. Oxes love their home and family and provide well for them. They do well at long term investments with stability and firm foundations. They are definitely not gamblers. Oxes earn their success by their own merits and don't expect any free rides.

"2006 is a stable year with few worries for the Ox. In your career, you can see benefits and profit from your hard work. For salaried workers, a job promotion is possible through your own efforts, and you may think about moving to a better place. Be careful when making new friendships, as you may have to deal with people who make you frustrated and consume most of your physical and emotional energy. Money luck is average to good; the busier you are, the more you gain, but it will be not easy to keep. Therefore, be careful of overspending and watch out for your wallet--some evil people will also be watching it. August and September are the most inauspicious for the Ox. Refrain from gambling or financial speculation."

apparently.. oxes go well best with snakes(4 years away from us) or if im not wrong..horse.. which is like a million years away from us.. Hahaha!

This is one of those years when you need to avoid Dog or Goat people because of the 'earth clashing' of signs in 2006. Projects you have on the go may suffer this year and your energies could slump. Don't share too many parts of yourself with others, as they may not respect it sufficiently. It's not your best year, so hop into the back seat, be detached and wait for 2007.

This is easier said than done.. since both my sisters are dogs.. and my dad is a goat. wth.
