The tale behind the Chinese Zodiac is one that has survived through time; it's over 2000 years old, yet more ever it holds significance in our modern world. The year of the Ox is one that symbolises strength, and movement towards hope...
In folklore stories and mythology, the Ox helped the Rat at the last hurdle, and would have arrived first if not tricked by the Rat. For those born in years 1985, 1997 and 2009, they often emulate the loyal, responsible and logical nature of the Ox. But they can also be conservative, and even stubborn, much like traits we know of the Taurus.
According to astrologers, the Ox indicates the positivity, honesty and hard work that will be manifested in us all over the next year. And when we look back over the chaos that has unfolded in the last 12 months, a little bit of positivity can go a long way.
If you were born in the year of the Ox, it’s believed you should avoid white and green, but welcome the colours blue, red and purple. Your lucky flowers are tulips, evergreen, peach blossom & rose and the element you are most powerful with is Earth. You can use these aspects to enhance your magickal abilities, such as using the appropriate coloured candle and using grounding techniques to connect more with the Earth.
