           The Year of the Ox 2021 牛來運轉

           Goodbye to the tough year of the Rat 2020. Lunar New Year is February 12, 2021 which welcomes the warm, comforting, dependable Year of the Ox. Oxen have been family friends in a traditional agrarian world providing food and clothing. Year 2021 promises to be cozy, homey and a lot more healthy. 

            Chinese zodiac animals have lucky meanings. Chinese popular belief associates each animal sign with certain characteristics. It's believed that people born in a given year have the personality of that year's animal. People born in the Year of the Ox are said to be strong, reliable, fair and conscientious, inspiring confidence in others. What a change! They are calm, patient, methodical and can be trusted. That inspires hope for world health and peace. Although they may say little they can be very opinionated. They expect others to abide by their high principles and benevolent morality. They hate to fail or be challenged. Oxen are strong, true friends. This year will be a Metal Ox year. The recent zodiac years of Ox sign are: 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033…An Ox year occurs every 12 years.
