Ox

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 06:37:37 +0100

General situation

The Ox will congratulate him/herself on feeling perfectly in his/her element. The New Year will bring him/her a pleasurable sensation of physical and mental well-being. Sufficiently wise not to make a drama out of every grain of sand, he/she will close his/her eyes on the faults of his/her close ones and will thus preserve his/her interior peace.

The astral environment of this year will incite the Ox to devote himself/herself more to reading. He/she will therefore gain more wisdom, for "the reading of all good books is like a conversation with the best people of past centuries" (Descartes). Meditation will also please him/her. One could say that Lao-Tzu and Montaigne would not have been more contented than him/her in this year.

Love
First trimester
With the complicity of some stars, your life as a couple will be on the whole harmonious. However, try to be solicitous towards your mate - a gentle word, a small mark of consideration can work wonders. On the contrary, a little neglect can provoke useless dissension. Think of developing your social life which will allow you to have a sufficiently detached view of your conjugal life, to nurture more refined relationships with the beloved one as well as constructive intuitions. If you're still a lonely heart, you'll seriously consider during these months to legalize your sentimental relationships and to settle down "like everybody."

Second trimester
Profit well by this auspicious period to live your love which will be without storms or clouds. Build for yourself a nest which will be sheltered from prying eyes and in which you'll exchanges tender kisses. If you can't afford to go to a tropical island in order to fully profit by those marvelous days, you can nevertheless enjoy love in whatever other place. What's important is to go unheeded.

Third trimester
Decidedly, that stars always want to favor you. During this period you'll experience refined love which you have been constantly dreaming of. Single natives will meet an intelligent mate or an exceptional person. Both sides will discover a common sentimental affinity as well as common political, philosophical, religious, or social aspirations. The most creative of natives will draw their main source of inspiration from love. They'll also share musical or literary tastes. But in spite of this beautiful general canvas, some problems of common life will prove inevitable. They will occur mostly because of the different views on the use of common money or on the priority to be given to the career of one or the other love partner. However, all this will probably entail no serious consequences, and the end of the period will bring about a very noticeable improvement of your relationships.

Fourth trimester
You'll most probably note a slight decline of your sexual capacities during this period. Beware that the adverse influxes of some stars will be responsible for this phenomenon which, fortunately, will only be transitory. Don't be over-anxious, then. You can remedy the situation by various means, for instance by trying to eroticize yourself through imagination or fantasies. As for single natives, love affairs will be what they will want them to be, for instance to consolidate an existing relation which will prove a matter of equilibrium for them. Consequently, there'll be weddings in the offing! Here is a good bit of advice for those who abhor conjugal life: Put your love life in due order, don't continue making a mess of it.

Career
First trimester
The astral climate of this period's first month seems very favorable to career. Hard work, perseverance, and timely supports will be the keys to your success, especially if you exercise or are going to exercise an independent or commercial profession. You can count on solid friendships which, in some cases, may prove to be decisive. If you're looking for a job, take into consideration your need of independence and freedom of action. With this being said, as it's not always possible to choose the career one wants, you should not be too particular. For want of something quite suitable, take up the job which will be offered you and try to adapt yourself to it, otherwise you'll run the risk of being jobless for a long time. Your best luck will come along in the last month of the period.

Second trimester
If you work in a team, you'll receive congratulations. Anyway, you'll feel that your suggestions are heeded by others. But this should be no reason for becoming disdainful. You'll make new acquaintances, and new contacts will bring about very interesting proposals concerning your career.

Third trimester
Favorable influxes from the beginning of this period, but particularly in the second month. You'll have necessary energy to cope with all your obligations. With some optimism from your part, everything will evolve perfectly. But don't overwork yourself. Avoid participating in non-professional discussions with your associates for this may earn you enemies. In case a misunderstanding arises, try to dispel it immediately. During the last month, the stars will give you ideas of genius capable of promoting your career. But it will be necessary that you are ever-ready to seize good occasions in the nick of time. Don't be negligent or absent-minded. Also, beware of your chronic tendency to take your dreams for reality.

Fourth trimester
The astral climate on the whole can lead you to success through short-cuts. You'll be at the top of your capacities in the last two months of this period, especially in careers that require creative imagination or bold initiatives. It's by choosing among your acquaintances those who would share your enthusiasm that you'll be assured of success. This period will be particularly favorable to writers. Even though writing is not your profession or hobby, try nevertheless to put something down on paper. You'll be well inspired and it's possible that you'll succeed in producing something worthwhile, be it a charming tale, a vibrant poem or the beginning of an endless novel. You might then probably discover your unused literary talents and might get fame, who knows?

Health
First trimester
Your intestine, digestive tract as well as nervous system will be a little shaky during the first month of this period. You must therefore look forward to possible health disorders which will find expression in ulcers, diarrheas, or fits of hysterics. Feeling incapable of doing something or deceived by a dear one will be enough for you to suffer from nervous disorders. Yoga will be a good way to calm your nerves. As for your digestion, a balanced diet would suffice; avoid food excesses.

Second trimester
On the whole you'll fare physically as well as possible in the course of this period - good nervous stability, perfect equilibrium of psychic energy, ability to recuperate rapidly after a sustained effort. But if you don't show good sense, if you abuse your forces, if you indulge in food excesses, then problems of all kinds will besiege you since the stars will not be quite agreeable with you. Excellent shape in the second month, but some small discomforts in the last month.

Third trimester
According to all astral indications, you'll on the whole enjoy relatively good health during the first two months of this period. However, some hitches are possible, but you'll perfectly be able to prevent or control them. Always show good sense. Your nervousness may reach a climax by the beginning of the last month - you'll find it difficult to fall asleep as well as to wake up. Refrain from tranquilizers and sleeping pills. Try to lead a more regular and less stressful life.

Fourth trimester
The astral aspects of this period will threaten your liver and your respiratory system. Everything will of course depend on your age and your lifestyle. More than ever get breaths of fresh air and refrain from all excesses. Practice fasting occasionally, avoid stimulants such as alcohol, tobacco and even coffee which can only unbalance you at length. These same planetary aspects will bring about sudden changes of mood and extreme nervousness. Practice a somewhat violent sport or a sufficiently tiring physical activity if you want to let off steam in a harmless way. Above all don't stay in a corner to complain.

Finances
First trimester
The planet Da La will settle down these days in one of your money sectors. Da La is not necessarily a dangerous star, but he nevertheless tends to limit possibilities of expansion. On the financial plane, his impact will result in certain stagnation. You'd do well to persuade yourself that it's in your interest to remain reasonable. Avoid superfluous expenses and everything will go well.

Second trimester
The numerous planets that are presently in the money sectors of your natal chart will form favorable configurations but also some less beneficent combinations. Notably, the Opposition between the planets Tham Lang and Tang Mon will influence you negatively. Thus you'll have to manage your budget prudently if you want to avoid difficulties. This should not require too much effort from you since natives of your sign are naturally gifted for financial matters.

Third trimester
Excellent news: Tu Vi, a basically beneficent planet, will settle down in the financial sector of your natal chart. This will inaugurate a long, favorable period on the financial plane. All those of you who are in difficulty can have new hopes: Your level of living must indeed improve. If you are part of those privileged who have no money problems, the period will be favorable to a reorganization of your placements.

Fourth trimester
Manage your budget wisely and then everything will go well. The stars will practically have no direct influence on your finances these days. Thus you'll be sheltered from unforeseen difficulties which negative planets could have provoked. On the contrary, you can't count on the providential support of beneficent stars. Moreover, with Pha Quan, the star who governs one of your money sectors, you'll certainly not be prone to indulging in extravagant expenses.

What your element has to add
Wood Ox
Until the end of February, you'll show a winner's morale and you'll collect successes, particularly in your work. But from March onwards, the star Tham Lang will make himself felt and then you may often be gnawed by doubt. Fortunately, the star Tu Vi (success, well-being) will be there to support you and help you to react.

Fire Ox
More reasonable than last year, you'll be in search of stability. In love, you'll make good efforts to strengthen the ties that bind you with your mate, especially if big problems have recently destabilized your couple. In the professional domain, you'll play the security card to the utmost.

Earth Ox
Long live change! You'll want to discover new horizons. But see to it that your energy be directed towards precise objectives. Thus, in your work, beware of imprudences! Heartwise, instead of putting your mate on tenterhooks too often, try to reassure him (her).

Metal Ox
The star Tu Vi (success, well-being) will prove to be your best ally. He'll favor your professional success by allowing you to profit by superb opportunities. Heartwise also, you'll have every reason to rejoice. Harmony will reign in your couple and, if you're free, you could very well meet great love this year.

Water Ox
Here's a year that seems to be rather rough. In work, try to control your imprudent outbursts. In love, your relationships with your mate may often be conflictual. But from May on, you can install a more serene climate in your home.
