For those born in the year of the Ox, there are some lucky stars in your path, but also some negative ones, in addition to “tsong Tai Sui.” “Tsong Tai Sui” means that your zodiac sign is in direct opposition to the star position of “Tai Sui”, the Deity of the Year. This is more serious than “fan Tai Sui”, whose zodiac sign is in opposition to “Tai Sui”, but not directly opposite in the case of “tsong Tai Sui.” What may appear to be good on the surface, may actually be bad. Therefore it is important that this year, the Ox does not have big investments and big changes and not be too greedy. There will be much about gossip about the Ox, so he/she should not easily trust people. You must reason things out meticulously and clearly, and try to minimize your losses. What you put in is what you get out of it; if you work harder, you will have better returns. You need to expand your network and meet new people. Do not be stagnant, but look for active change. Traveling abroad and looking for opportunities there may be good for you.
Because this year, the Ox “tsong Tai Sui”, it will be a year fraught with hardship, where you must work much harder in your journey. Being a busy year for you is not necessarily bad and may even be positive in a sense that if you travel to different places and meet more people, it can improve your luck. You may even consider moving your home and office to help counter some of the effects of “tsong Tai Sui”, as the key words here are activity and change. On the contrary, being lazy, sedentary, and doing nothing will have a compounded negative effect on your luck.
Financially, it is not very good for the Ox this year both in finances and leadership. There may be more opportunities by traveling abroad. Being busy and traveling around may be beneficial in leading to small gains. Especially for those who are self-employed, or have artistic and creative talents, may gain opportunities from helpful people. In your journey this year, you may wish to consider doing a job you have never done before, for example money (banking), public relations, jewelry, stocks, currency, construction, entertainment, and artistic pursuits, and you may be pleasantly surprised. However, if you think yourself unworthy and do not look for change, you may be outdated by the dynamically progressive society. You must remember to not be so easily satisfied, that you must have desire, ambition, and determination. You may thing that you are already great as you are, but there is continually room to grow, so do not be stagnant.
Because there will be a lot of gossip against you this year, it is not suitable for you to seek partnership in business. You do the hard work in helping your partner set up business, but may end up being the loser who gets cut off with the short end of the deal. You need to think more of yourself and do more for yourself this year, rather than for other people. However, do not be impulsive or greedy either. Start small and slow, take initiative and be innovative. Though financial gains will be small on your own, do not be enticed by the greed of a business partnership which may appear to bring bigger financial returns, as you will only be somebody else’s stepping stone for success. The work you end up doing will be for other people’s benefit, not for yourself. You need to invest more in yourself and improve your ability to earn money, and you may find gains in the spring time. As mentioned, it will be good for the industries in jewellery, gold, money, stocks, fashion, esthetics/beauty, and other artistic pursuits. However, there will be barriers to your success early on, but do not let these challenges stop you. You must work hard with persistence to achieve your goals. Do not be afraid of failure, but neither should you walk an illegitimate path. The tenacity may lead you to eventually find an outlet for success.
As said, it is important to re-emphasize avoiding business partnerships, as it may lead to financial loss. Do not put hopes into earning quick and big money gambling or buying and selling, else wise, the small bit of greed will lead to bigger losses than you can afford. There will be much fantasizing, but also much falseness, and a great deal of change. Manage your finances very carefully and wisely. To help prevent financial loss, do not easily listen to or be swayed by other people’s words to entice you to invest in business. Also be aware of your home and your family’s state of health, which may lead to the necessity of larger financial spending.
Relationships this year will come and go. Though there will be new love opportunities, they will be flowers that do not form fruit (no happy ending). Before there is deeper love, the love has already gone, so oftentimes, the Ox is just a bystander of love. You may have infatuations which you think is true feelings, but it is in reality not, and the person you think you love may not in fact reciprocate the same feelings. In your travels to other places, you may find a surprise love, but is only temporary, so do not do anything that you may regret the rest of your life. The female Ox needs to be particularly cautious in whom they choose to have intimate relationships with, as you will be the only one who is hurt if or when accidental pregnancy occurs. Because the Ox is “tsong Tai Sui” this year, your mood will be up and down and easily affected, as well as your self-esteem and goals may be easily eroded; therefore, when you are with your other half, you need to have open communication and have mutual understanding to preserve your happiness.
Health concerns involve illnesses of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat. Some other concerns are fatigue, insomnia, and respiratory disease. Be careful in places with a lot of people and cars, to reduce the possibility of respiratory infection. Be extra cautious at home, in particular fire hazards. If you have children, pay more attention to their well-being. The Ox also needs to be careful of what goes into the mouth, which may result in gastrointestinal illness. Furthermore, try to mind your own business and try not to gossip, as it may lead to physical injury.
