In 2012, there will be a lucky star in the Ox’s path, so as long as there is a person assisting the Ox. Also in the Ox’s path, he/she may find finance and family. However, some other stars are in the Ox’s way that may lead to approaching matters without confidence, with laziness, and easily give up. Being wishy-washy is a major hindrance to the Ox’s success this year.
The beginning of the year is a period of change for the Ox. As long as the Ox is honest and works hard, it should be not bad this year. However, because there is a lot of burden for the Ox, there may be lack of confidence and an unwillingness to learn new things. Therefore, the Ox should try to improve his/her social skills and contacts and improve self-esteem. The Ox needs to learn to be more open-minded, as some of your views may not be compatible with the dynamic modern day society. You should look to try new things and find new opportunities. Look to those who are older, or who have more experience in your field to learn from, and that may help improve your self-esteem. Keep good contacts/relationships with people of all strata of society. If the Ox has success, gains should be shared with others. The Ox should try not to be afraid of giving more than taking, and don’t be petty or be afraid of failure and if he/she acts promptly in situations, more success can be found amongst a year of change.
Financially, this year is not bad for the year of the Ox. There will not be great gains or great losses, and if the Ox is not too greedy, there may be small gains. However, if the Ox is overly greedy and indulge in gambling and buying and selling, not concentrating on improving career, the money may cause legal problems. The greed and huge financial expenses will cause money to come and go. So if there are some financial gains, it is best to be wise think long-term, saving the money and consider owning your own business or moving to a new home, which may help reduce financial loss. Investing in non-liquid assets long term may even provide some fairly good financial gains. Obviously, the Ox needs to invest wisely with your current financial situation in mind, in that you should not take out a large financial loan greater than your ability to repay, as you will only produce problems for yourself. Remember that financial gains to not come to those who are impulsive. If you try to find ways to make quick and easy money, it will only lead to great financial loss. The Ox should avoid borrowing money from people and do not agree to be someone’s guarantor for loans, lest risk being negatively affected by others, bringing problems that to financial loss and legal problems.
This year, those born in the year of the Ox will have many friends who will burden him/her with their problems, asking to lend them money or be their guarantor. It will be fine if the Ox lends very small amounts of money. However, strictly avoid lending large amounts of money and avoid being a guarantor for a friend’s loan or else there will bring to a lot of trouble to your way.
In terms of relationships, there will be many potential relationships that will come, but they will not result in long terms relationships where there will be flowers which blossom, but do not form fruit (no happy ending). Being overly involving in relationships will negatively affect the Ox’s well-being, career, and luck. There will be many short relationships that may easily lead to love triangles, in particular with those who are much younger or much older than. Be careful of letting your relationship entanglements negatively affecting your schooling or career.
For those who are married, be aware of a third party. Also be wary of arguments with your other half, stemming from financial problems. Always remember that a peaceful family is a harmonious family, and excessive mouths lead to family discord.
In terms of health, be aware of excessive insomnia. For the elderly, be wary of minor illnesses involving the heart, blood, and kidneys. Try to avoid places with many cars and people to avoid gossip, physical injury, and fire hazard. Be particularly careful of infection with respiratory illness like the cold and flu. Avoid entertainment that can lead to infection with sexually transmitted diseases. Be aware of your home and eating, where any arising illness should be tended to promptly by a doctor, else wise complications from prolonged illness may result. Void visiting the sick or attend funerals, as that will lead to sickness and unwanted gossip.
