Ox people are hard-working and persistent; they can stick at a task longer and go at it harder than anybody. They believe in themselves and tend to classify almost everything into two basic categories, good or bad.

In the home, the Ox is a great guy to have around. In business, the Ox can succeed in the arts, a contracting business, or an estate, thanks to their creative nature. And since an Ox is intelligent and good with their hands, they can be a good surgeon as well.

Ox people are stubborn and dogmatic, they believe in their decision and will never regret. They are also very close to their families.

Disappointedly, Oxen’s often find that those who are close to them fail to understand them. Nevertheless, they are patient and caring and that makes the Oxen the best friend you can ever have.
