Legend has it that the Ox has always been a favourable zodiac sign due to its steady nature and penchant for hard work. Likewise you are perseverant in the most trying circumstances because when you have made a commitment you keep your word. You are sincere and do not like the idea of wheeling and dealing.
You like to work through your ideas in peace and quiet. Underneath your calm exterior you can be stubborn and hot headed like the Ox.
You are not extravagant and the thought of living off credit cards makes you nervous. You are well liked by your friends for your honesty and patience. Though you are inclined to be introverted, in a secure environment you can be quite sociable.
Love
You are gentle and open with the right partner and thrive on strong love and support. But you are hurt easily and your ideal partner will need to be gentle with you and be able to cajole you into new interests. Since you are not driven by romance you will have to be persuaded to accept invitations.
Element
Earth, which works in harmony with the element of metal but is overwhelmed by the element of wood.
Colour
Yellow the imperial colour of China associated with fame and achievement.
Ideal Partner
Snake and Rooster
Yin/Yang
Yin and yang are equally balanced, a combination linked to thought and care.
