You are well-known for your perseverance and stamina. When other people fizzle out, you are still standing. Never quick to put blame on others, you make reliable friends and partners despite your stubbornness. You are often make used of by friends but you don't seem to mind. Even in good times and prosperity, you maintain a mellowed countenance. Your partner often get impatient with you but at the same time cannot live without you.

Oxen`s 2009 Luck:
Damn; you must be thinking why it's your year and here and every where else are telling you that bad stars are heading your way and you may be experiencing all the declines. Well, look at it this way, things you don't know, you cant help it. Things that are made known to you, be glad you can take some preventive measures. If a plane is coming crashing through your door, would you rather know or not? If for anything that is worth consoling to tell you, 2010 will be a very good year for you.

For oxen in business, really it's no big deal; you have seen it all before and you have always been strong and determined. Rough it out; what people see as a crisis, is an everyday feat for you. As long as you keep blood pressure down, you won't die.

Same for those working; retrenchment only; can even write a book on your years of such experiences. Attitude and Inner Strength are your 2 best weapons, use them. Keep your arsenal of feng-shui items polished and shined. In military terms, they are called support fire.

As long as you learn how to keep your problems of your work outside your home's main door; all will be well. Spend more time with your family and go visit your parents more often. Children cried at funeral because they did not spend enough times with their parents when they were around. The louder, the less they did. The filial ones only shed a tear of misses.

Don't let the economic crisis postpone your plan to have children; come on, how much can a baby cost? It's only expensive because you chose the expensive way. Same for those who want to get married. Can't afford a grand banquet, throw a simple one. Can't afford a long distance honeymoon, go stay in a local resort. Having baby and marriages are well known to improve luck, let's do it more often.

For those oxen who are still schooling; press on if school works appear to be more difficult than last year. That's because you are on a higher level. Remember only the higher you go, then the more can be left behind you. If everyone is as brilliant, then there are no rich people in this world. Education is the commonly taken path for such pursuit of happiness; but it is, for the record, not the only way.

Useful Feng-Shui Tools for Oxen:
For the Oxen, you need to apply full fledged defensive feng-shui this year. With 8 bad stars and none good stars, you don't attack; you defend. Insulate yourself in a web of feng-shui force field will be the wise call for the year. That does not mean you can't be out and about. Just make sure you have the necessary feng-shui protection up and working and you just behave as normal as you like; good thing we don't prescribe a full armor plated uniform for you to wear. So be glad. The first bad Star to take care of is the Yellow 5 Star; it's what we called the Generic Killer; it just whack anybody.
