Ox Years
Ox years show stability and slow but steady expansion. Although not great years for innovation, old ways will work fine. Agricultural endeavors will be the most rewarding. Sufferers of arthritis, rheumatism, and bone related diseases will most likely suffer much during this period.

Oxen in Rooster Years
After a period of routine, Oxen should start making major, even radical, changes in their lives. Rooster years mark the best times for Oxen to start a new life.

Ox Personality
Methodical, and sensible, Oxen are very reliable, although sometimes a bit dull and boring. Although they can be creative, they rarely take the initiative and tend to be conservative about untested and unproven ideas. Rather than associating in large crowds, Oxen prefer small groups of close friends.

Ox Symbolism
Used in farming to plow fields, Oxen symbolize harvests and agriculture. They also represent tenacity, thoroughness, and perseverance. However, they are also closely associated with bones, limbs, and fractures.

Ox People
Bach, Van Gogh, Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney

The Ox figure is skillfully hand-carved with superior workmanship, with clear and detailed definition. Measures 2cm x 2cm x 7.5cm. This Ox seal is packaged in a nice Chinese decorated box and comes with a dish of special red ink.
