Chinese New Year of the Ox

Happy New Year!

Today begins the Chinese Year of the Ox. The second sign of the Chinese zodiac, the Ox symbolizes new beginnings. The Ox signifies building to last and slow but sure action. Things we begin now will have long term, lasting consequences, so we must make good choices.

Like last year, the year of the Rat, this is an Earth year. The difference is this one is yin rather than yang. Therefore it should be less tumultuous. On a personal level, better results should be achieved by reacting to circumstances and going with the flow, as opposed to aggressively charging forward and initiating a lot of action.

According to Chinese astrologists, 2009 will be a period of lasting accomplishments. This is true for individuals, societies and the human race in general. There may be times when motivation appears to be lacking. In fact the big challenge everyone faces is to generate the enthusiasm and desire to act. Those individuals and organizations that do will create enduring benefits for themselves and the world.
