Year of the Ox

As the year 2008 ends many people are anticipating what will happen in this forthcoming year of 2009. Well according to the Chinese calendar, this coming year is the year of the Ox.

According to Wikipedia, the Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. This powerful sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm, and modest. Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.

Many people who were born on this years (19 February 1901 - 7 February 1902, 6 February 1913 - 25 January 1914, 25 January 1925 - 12 February 1926, 11 February 1937 - 30 January 1938, 29 January 1949 - 16 February 1950, 15 February 1961 - 4 February 1962, 3 February 1973 - 22 January 1974, 20 February 1985 - 8 February 1986, 7 February 1997 - 28 January 1998, 26 January 2009 - 14 February 2010, 2021 - 2022, 2033 – 2034) are anticipating to have a lucky year and looking forward to have a prosperous year. But for me, I believe that everything is permitted by God. Whether it is a good or bad luck, as most people say, I personally believe that we are governed by God and we should thank for all those things.

Have a blessed year to come!!
