2. Ox

Symbolizes the attainment of prosperity through fortitude and hard work

Dependable, calm, methodical

Patient and tireless worker, sticks to routines and conventions

Generally fair-minded and a good listener but doesn't like to change his mind

With affairs of the heart, the Ox can be na?ve, not fully comprehending the entrapments of love. Don't expect poetry and romanticism. They will be inclined to long courtships.

Charitable by nature, backbone of society

May hold grudges for long periods of time

Knows how to give and take orders
