The stable and reliable Ox people are usually trusted by their superiors because they are faithful, kind and work in an orderly way. Oxen, in lack of humor and romance, mostly reach success late in life and feature an indomitable character and a strong logical thinking. Their wisdom and skills are often covered up by the taciturnity but once given a chance, they can become dignified and eloquent orators, do what they want wholeheartedly and never give up halfway. Therefore, people of Ox sign are the typical realist.

Ox in 2026
2026 for the Ox - Year of Harming Tai Sui, Prioritize Harmony
Those born in the Year of the Ox will encounter the "harming Tai Sui" phase in 2026, testing interpersonal relationships. Workplace challenges may include encountering people who secretly obstruct progress. It is advisable to handle important matters personally and avoid over-relying on others. Financially, regular income is acceptable, but speculative gains are unlikely. Avoid guaranteeing loans for others or engaging in large lending. Romantic prospects for singles may be unremarkable, while married individuals should maintain appropriate boundaries with the opposite sex to prevent misunderstandings. Health-wise, focus on gastrointestinal issues and sleep quality. Moderate exercise can help alleviate stress.
