The Ox is the second animal of the zodiac, after agreeing to carry the Rat across the river in the Great Race, only to have it jump off at the last minute and finish in front.

The Year of the Ox is associated with the Earthly Branch symbol and the hours of 1-3am in the morning. The Ox is Yang in terms of yin and yang and the heavenly stem Xin of 2021 is Metal.

The Ox is large, powerful, adept both on land and in water and as such is often associated with hard workers, intelligence and being reliable, whilst not being demanding nor needing of praise.

Tai Sui predicts that 2021 will be a potentially turbulent year for the Ox with unexpected challenges demanding that you will need particularly strong morale to get through. This could be a time to focus on healthy minds and bodies, minimising risk, nurturing relationships with friends and family and being calm and patient.

From the team at QLM we wish you safety, prosperity and the strength of an Ox for the New Year.
