Earth Ox, - Prosperity Through Hard Work
Chinese New Year is on January 26, with a new Moon is in Aquarius and a solar eclipse ... heralding quite a dramatic year! The historical inauguration of President Barack Obama in the U.S. was a most fitting opening to the year. And Earth Ox is the perfect symbol for 2009... Given the economic, political and environmental state of this planet, it will take diligent, consistent, hard work to recover our balance. Obama's inaugural speech was very much in alignment with the energy of an Earth Ox year... we will need to be strong and determined, to work together, and for the long haul in 2009.
The ox is seen as a highly industrious creature, a symbol of productivity. Unfortunately, the ox can succumb to fate destroying its hard work. This can take place through natural disasters, insect infestations and ill-health..
Still, with enthusiasm and a desire to act, individuals and organizations will create enduring benefits for themselves and the world. The year 2009 will be a period of lasting accomplishments - provided that you get serious about your goals. If you've been something of a party-animal the past few years, you'll need to think of changing your ways!
The ox is conservative, focused, serious and willful... beware the tests of wills that may present themselves this year. ... and be prepared to be willful - determined- to achieve your personal goals... ox tells us to put our backs into our work, and there is no better time for it than 2009.
The Ox is associated with building to last and being slow but confident. Consistency and consolidation are key to this year, as this is a time when hard work pays off. However, you must work hard to reap the rewards. Discipline is required to forge ahead.
Oxen are bright, peace-loving, often easy-going and trusting. But, on the other hand, they can also be stubborn, methodical, and fiercely competitive, with very bad tempers.
In an Earth Ox year we can expect:
Cooling temperatures, blizzards, extreme cold, buildings collapsing, earthquakes, volcanic activity, avalanches, mudslides and landslides… global warming creates a sense of panic for many this year…
A very conservative investment climate, businesses consolidating and thus more lay-offs
Property markets improving, but slowly
Good crops - however Ox also can signal problems with crops, insect infestations, mold and fungi problems
Stabilizing on the economic front
Digestive problems for many – especially associated with the liver - drink in moderation this year!
