СКАЧАТЬ can make a real difference to some situations this year, but to benefit the Metal Ox does need to be forthcoming. April, May, August and December and January 2016 could see the most social activity.

      For Metal Oxen who are unattached, the Goat year offers strong romantic possibilities, with a chance meeting likely to prove significant. Goat years can spring their surprises and special moments.

      Home life can also bring contentment to many Metal Oxen. Although various family members will often be busy with their own activities, the Metal Ox’s talents at bringing everyone together will be especially appreciated. He will do a lot to support others and it is essential that he also talks over his own activities and concerns. He will not only find this can be helpful in itself, but also that it can strengthen rapport and understanding. Good communication is a key requisite of the Goat year.

      With some of his more practical plans for the home, the Metal Ox will need to be flexible. As snags and delays arise (as they will), projects may have to be revised. Admittedly, this may not suit the Metal Ox’s orderly nature, but Goat years can be changeable and the Metal Ox will have to adapt accordingly.

      Overall, in 2015 the Metal Ox will need to keep his wits about him. However, while he may view some of the developments of the year with misgiving, there will be scope for him to further what he does in both his work and his personal interests. He will also value the support of those close to him, although to benefit fully he does need to be open. A sometimes awkward year, but a full and interesting one.

      Tip for the Year

      Watch your independent tendencies. Make a point of talking to others and seeking their opinions and support. By being a team player, you will fare much better this year. In addition, stay alert for fresh developments and be prepared to adjust accordingly. Goat years require awareness and a flexible approach, and what happens in this one can prove significant.

      The Water Ox

      This will be a time of change and fast-moving developments for the Water Ox and his resourcefulness and talent for thinking out of the box will prove of great value.

      In his home life this can be a busy and often exciting time. The Water Ox will often be keen to forge ahead with plans, although, in keeping with the volatile nature of the year, these can be subject to change, including major rethinks. However, if he is adaptable, the Water Ox will often be able to delight in his home improvements. Spending quality time with his loved ones will also lead to some memorable occasions, and if the Water Ox has particular ideas, he should put these forward. His input can add greatly to the quality of home life.

      Water Oxen who are parents will offer important encouragement as their children face exams, have decisions to make or grapple with awkward matters. Here the Water Ox’s ability to empathize and guide can be of especial value. More senior relations too will have reason to be grateful for his time and assistance.

      Domestically, this will be a busy year, but despite the demands, the Water Ox will feel great contentment as he sees the results of his efforts.

      Busy though he may be, it is important that he does not neglect his social life. Contact with others is very important this year and whenever possible the Water Ox should take up the invitations he receives and go to events that appeal to him. In some instances, especially if he is alone, it could be well worth considering joining a local interest group. April, May, August and December could see the most social activity.

      For some Water Oxen who are currently unattached, the year can also see the start of a special and possibly significant romance.

      The Water Ox should also give time to his personal interests and consider developing his ideas. His resourcefulness can open up interesting possibilities. Creative activities could be especially satisfying this year.

      In work matters, however, he will need to proceed carefully. With changes underway and an often heavy workload, he will find his skills and patience frequently tested. Throughout the year he will need to liaise well with colleagues and be actively involved in his place of work. Commitment, communication and willingness to learn are all so important this year. While situations may be demanding, the Water Ox will nevertheless have an excellent chance to prove himself and extend his knowledge. His knack for solving problems and ability to deal with pressure can particularly impress others, and quite a few Water Oxen will ultimately have the chance to take on greater responsibilities.

      Some Water Oxen, however, will not feel fulfilled where they are and be keen to make a change. For these Water Oxen, as well as those seeking work, the Goat year can open up some potentially exciting possibilities. The employment situation may be difficult, but Goat years favour change, and by looking to adapt their skills, many Water Oxen could be offered an interesting new position. This could entail considerable learning and change of routine, but the Water Ox will relish the challenge. April, June and late August to early November could see particularly encouraging developments, but throughout the year the Water Ox should follow up ideas, seek advice and keep alert for openings.

      In view of his plans and commitments, however, he will need to be especially careful in money matters. This includes keeping a close watch on spending and taking his time when considering major purchases or transactions. If he has any uncertainties over the terms or cost implications, he must address these before proceeding. This is no time for risk, carelessness or assumptions. Money matters require discipline and care.

      Overall, the Goat year will be a demanding one for the Water Ox. The pressures may be considerable, but the Water Ox has great strength of character and by demonstrating his skills and using his time well, he can accomplish a great deal. In his work, his commitment and ability to adjust can lead to new responsibilities and his achievements may pave the way to other possibilities in the near future. His relations with others will also be of value to him and a great help throughout the year. Conditions may not always be easy, but they will highlight the gifts and fortitude of many a Water Ox and make his rewards this year all the more deserved.

      Tip for the Year

      Proceed carefully and mindfully. Pay heed to the views of those around you and be prepared to adjust as situations change. This may be a challenging year, but what you undertake now can be of both present and future value. Also, spend time with those who are special to you. Their love and support can be significant.

      The Wood Ox

      This year marks the start of a new decade in the Wood Ox’s life. Hopeful, determined and in true Wood Ox style resolute, he will be keen to make the most of it. Although it may not always be an easy year, what he accomplishes during it can have considerable bearing on the better times that await.

      One feature of the Goat year is that situations can be volatile, and the Wood Ox, who likes to be sure of his ground, will find some events giving rise to uncertainty. However, while he may have his misgivings about certain developments, on several occasions they may ultimately prove of value. As Henry Ford noted, ‘Problems are opportunities in disguise,’ and so it will be for many Wood Oxen this year.

      At work, many Wood Oxen will already be established in a particular role and keen to take their career to a new level. However, progress may not be easy this year and these Wood Oxen would do well to broaden the range of positions they are prepared to consider. Important headway is possible this year, but it may involve a substantial change of duties.

      This also applies to Wood Oxen who are seeking work or looking to make a change. Rather than restrict СКАЧАТЬ
