Oxen in China are put on a pedestal. So it goes with Oxen
people. 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, shudder, fierce tempers
to boot. Oxen are natural born mentors and life is filled with
examples of people who have gone on to great success because of
them. Mentally and physically alert to the point of genius, many
Oxen belong to Mensa. They can create the most imposing structures,
magnificent sculpture, and homes. They respond like poets to the
beauties of nature and of solitude. Oxen are unique, they are The
Flower that bursts through the crack of cement.

With Water Oxen you never have to sit around listening to boring
lecturing and long-winded yada-yada. Through quiet self-assurance,
they simply carry on with life, setting examples by deed, never by
words. They make extraordinary leaders. They inspire others to do
their best, through kind patience, knowing that even waiters
finally come to those who wait. Realistic and open-minded about the
foibles of others, they are rewarded with unexpected surprises when
people turn around and show their best attributes. Tit for tat!.
Their stable careers and "living right" give them the potential to
be enormously wealthy, and they frequently are. For Oxen in
general, love life is somewhat of a mystery, but immensely
satisfying, interwoven very nicely with contrasts of quietude and

dollar a week. Not only that, they lend money to friends, not a
good idea! Despite a volatile financial life, their careers are
pretty successful. Since they are generally such quick learners,
all they have to do is control their impulsive spending and try
saving for a change. When it comes to moonlight and roses, Wood
