Oxen represent diligence. The Ox likes to think things through before taking action. Once they begin to act, they will carry it out until completion. The disadvantage for this is that they lack the flexibility to adapt to changes. They will stick to their decisions, which may be perceived as stubbornness to others. People born in the year of the Ox are usually hard working, honest, creative, ambitious, cautious, and patient. Their weaknesses are that they can be narrow-minded, indifferent, prejudices, slow, and bad at communicating.
In the Dog year, put more emphasis on friendship and loyalty to those around you instead of profit—focus on sincere connections. Stay where you are and focus on what you already have. That way, your friends will have your back. The strongest of all symbols will also get through all occurring problems with ease. Best to take things as they come and to just keep on walking and waiting for a luckier period. Years of the Dog are unlikely to be nasty and a few shakes should not matter that much. They will keep the Oxes awake and perhaps they might even feel encouraged to focus on learning and studies. Your stubbornness seems to get the better of you this year. You should try to be more flexible and learn to listen and communicate with others.
