СКАЧАТЬ the situation warrants expert advice, he should feel able to call upon it. Oxen, do remember this. Personally, this can be a satisfying year, but do be prepared to draw on the assistance of others if required.

      Overall, the Year of the Rabbit is an encouraging one for the Ox and by looking to make progress, using his time well and seizing his opportunities, he can make headway as well as enjoy some pleasing personal developments.

       The Metal Ox

      This will be an important year for the Metal Ox and with it marking his fiftieth birthday he will be keen to get this new decade off to a positive start. As he has demonstrated so often, when he sets himself specific aims, his hard work and focus usually secure what he wants, and so it will be this year. This is no time to be fettered by recent disappointments (the previous Tiger year in particular could have been an awkward one) but to concentrate on the present and look determinedly ahead.

      As 2011 begins the Metal Ox could find it particularly helpful to draw up some plans for the year. With thoughts in mind he will find his efforts opening up some fresh possibilities and rewarding him in often special ways. The Rabbit year can be an interesting one and also have some surprises in store.

      The Metal Ox’s relations with others will be especially important this year. His loved ones will often be keen to mark his fiftieth birthday in fine style and not only will he be the centre of attention but often touched by the affection shown him. However, it will not only be his birthday and other family occasions that will be meaningful, but the support and assistance he receives throughout the year. In turn, he should talk openly about his activities and plans and listen closely to advice given. In some cases, new possibilities could arise as a result. This is very much a year that favours a co-operative rather than independent approach.

      In his home life the Metal Ox will also be pleased with some of the activities that take place, including practical projects and activities shared with his loved ones. He will also take a fond interest in the activities of those around him and the advice and practical support he gives to younger and more senior relations will be welcomed, particularly if they are facing problems or anxieties. The Metal Ox has many redoubtable qualities and he will not let them down.

      This will also be an interesting year as far as his social life is concerned. He will have the chance to meet new people and form important new friendships and sometimes, for the unattached, find romance. This is a year that favours activity and the Metal Ox will enjoy and often benefit from his chances to meet others. March, April, July and September could be the most active months socially.

      The Metal Ox should also give some time to his own interests over the year, as these help keep his lifestyle in balance. To mark his fiftieth year, he could also be tempted to try something new. By carefully thinking through his ideas and then taking action, he can make this a constructive and personally beneficial time. In addition, if he is keen to travel and has a particular destination in mind, by making enquiries he could find his travels adding another exciting strand to the year.

      As far as his work is concerned, the Rabbit year holds interesting possibilities. Although progress may not be swift or opportunities plentiful, there will still be some good chances for the Metal Ox to move forward. These could be in his existing place of work as more senior positions or other responsibilities become available. The Metal Ox will often be well placed to benefit, and with determined action and the willingness to put himself forward, he can make important headway.

      There will, though, be some Metal Oxen who will feel they have accomplished all they can in their present role and be keen to switch to something different. For these Metal Oxen, as well as those seeking work, the Rabbit year can have encouraging developments in store. Obtaining a new position may not be easy, but by keeping alert and thinking of different ways in which they could use their experience – talking to employment agencies could give them interesting thoughts to consider – they could be offered an interesting new challenge. This is a year to be open to possibility. Mid-March to early June and October could be important months work-wise.

      In order to go ahead with his plans, the Metal Ox will need to be disciplined in money matters and keep a close watch on his outgoings. Also, when entering into agreements he needs to check the terms and details and to be particularly careful if lending to someone. Without increased vigilance, problems could arise. Metal Oxen, take note and in money matters do be thorough and careful.

      Overall, the Rabbit year can be an important one for the Metal Ox. It will not only bring some special times but also some opportunities to develop. Whether in his work or his personal interests, by being forward thinking and acting on his aims, the Metal Ox will find his energy and focus leading to a lot opening up for him. A positive and encouraging year.

      TIP FOR THE YEAR

      Decide on your aims for the year. Once your attention is directed on these, interesting developments can follow. Also, value your relations with others. These can help make this important year all the more successful.

       The Water Ox

      There is a Chinese proverb which states, ‘With aspirations you can go anywhere; without aspirations you can go nowhere.’ As a determined Ox, the Water Ox certainly has aspirations and the Rabbit year will encourage him and reward him well.

      In his work this is a year of important developments. For Water Oxen who have been languishing in their present role or are feeling disappointed with their recent progress, the Rabbit year can provide the chance they have been hoping for. Sometimes this could arise as colleagues move on, creating vacancies and promotion opportunities, or the Water Ox could be alerted to a position which is different from what he has been used to but which he is well suited for. Opportunities can arise suddenly in the Rabbit year and the Water Ox can also help his position by taking up any available training courses and following developments within his industry. In 2011 he should remember ‘With aspirations you can go anywhere’ and should keep those aspirations firmly alive with initiative and action.

      For Water Oxen seeking work, again the year can bring interesting possibilities. However, to benefit, these Water Oxen should not be too restrictive in the type of work they are prepared to consider. By looking at various options and considering different ways in which they can use their strengths, they could be alerted to an often ideal opportunity. Some might decide to retrain and certainly for many this can be a year of some very interesting options which can give their career and self-esteem a considerable boost. Mid-March to early June and October could see significant developments.

      The headway the Water Ox makes in his work can also lead to an increase in income, but money-wise this is a year for care. The Water Ox’s commitments are likely to be considerable and he should not relax his usual disciplined approach to finance. He should be particularly careful if lending to another person and if he has concerns over any money-related matter during the year, he should seek advice and clarification.

      His relations with others, however, will be important and often special. In his home life this can be a busy time, with the Water Ox actively helping those with decisions that need taking, assisting and encouraging those in education and perhaps also supporting someone in need. He can be of inestimable help to others over the year.

      He will also spend time on practical projects. Many Water Oxen will redecorate some rooms and undertake other home improvements during the year. Their projects could take longer than intended but will be satisfying when complete. Also, while the Water Ox may be content to tackle a lot singlehandedly, it is important that he draws on the assistance of others where necessary and is open and forthcoming about his own activities and concerns.
