When I consider an ox, history shows an animal that has been an essential resource for agricultural purposes and transportation. It’s honest, low-key and never looks for praise, but receives recognition for its hard work. It’s also synonymous with discipline and prosperity as it continues to strive for success regardless of the many struggles or challenges that it faces. It will grind until achievement.

With that being said, this is an ideal year to build or consolidate your achievements since the ox is a strong, resilient, loyal and dependable animal on top of being in-service to others in the community. Success will come with collaboration, so choose wisely when seeking partners to venture with you to ensure you’re following the same path.
