    The Ox Energy

    The Ox carried the Rat across the river and came in second. Ox people are hardworking, methodical, honest and enduring. They build slowly and build to last.

    The Water Influence

    Water is winter's stillness and stored power: intuition, wisdom, communication and adaptability.

    How to Work With the Year

    A Water Ox year blends the Ox's steady, patient and dependable nature with Water's themes of wisdom, depth and flow. Lean into those qualities, and watch for the shadow: stubbornness, rigidity and holding resentments for a long time.
