СКАЧАТЬ situation, decide on future directions and spend time with those close to them.

      Home life can bring especial pleasure, with the practical nature of Oxen often coming to the fore. Over the year several home improvement ideas will present themselves and Oxen will tackle them with relish. When one project is completed, another will often suggest itself, and Oxen will take considerable satisfaction in what they do and the benefits that follow on. With Goat years favouring artistic expression, quite a few Oxen will also enjoy refreshing décor and adding embellishments to their home.

      As well as practical improvements, Oxen will do much to support family members, especially as some will be facing pressured situations or contending with change. Those close to Oxen will have good reason to value their stalwart natures and honest opinions over the year. It can also be marked by some memorable domestic occasions, including shared interests, trips out and celebrating personal successes. In addition, many busy Oxen will be encouraged to spend more time with those close to them, and this can be a beneficial feature of the Goat year.

      Socially, Oxen should take advantage of the many events and activities that tend to happen in Goat years, including in their locality. In addition, by regularly meeting up with their friends, they will not only appreciate the support and camaraderie, but also the ways in which some of them can help and advise.

      For some unattached Oxen, a chance encounter also has the potential to become significant. Goat years favour affairs of the heart, and indeed relations with others.

      They also encourage the exploring and furthering of talents. Oxen should devote time to their personal interests this year and if a new activity tempts them, find out more. They will frequently be enthused by what the year opens up for them.

      However, while the Goat year will have many pleasurable aspects, it will also bring pressures. In many workplaces, Oxen will find their duties affected by change. New procedures and the burden of additional bureaucracy may make progress difficult. Although frustrating, for many the best policy will be to concentrate on their own role and adjust as required. Situations will settle, but patience, and some forbearance, will be required. And when progress does come, it will be well deserved.

      For Oxen seeking a position, these can again be challenging times, with openings sometimes limited. However, with tenacity and widening the scope of their search, many could secure a position in a different type of work and have the chance to prove themselves in a new way. Flexibility, together with a willingness to adapt and learn, will be key this year.

      In money matters, again this is a year for care and close control of the budget. Risk, haste and speculation should be avoided and, especially when considering new purchases or replacing equipment, time should be allowed to assess options and terms and what best meets requirements.

      In general, Goat years can be volatile and Oxen can find the changes frustrating and progress difficult, particularly at work. However, by rising to the year’s challenges and adjusting as necessary, they can learn from it, and what they accomplish now can often be important in the longer term. Care is needed in money matters, but more positively, time spent developing personal interests and on practical activities can be satisfying, and relations with others, and romantic prospects, are favourably aspected. Not always an easy year, but with some important personal benefits mixed in.

      Tips for the Year

      Enjoy being with others and look to make more of your personal interests. Both areas can bring you great pleasure this year as well as help your lifestyle balance. While some developments may concern you, particularly at work, make the most of what happens. Experience gained now can be successfully built upon in the future.

      Ox Fortunes in the Year of the Monkey

      Interesting times ahead. Monkey years offer considerable scope and although Oxen may not always welcome the speed of developments, there will be some good opportunities.

      One of the strengths of Oxen is their willingness to learn and develop. As they realize, to achieve their ambitions and make the most of themselves, it is necessary to assimilate knowledge and build upon their experience. And they continually aim to do so. In the Monkey year, they will have great chances to develop in this way. This can be a constructive time.

      At work, the Monkey year can bring unanticipated developments. Colleagues may suddenly leave, opening up the chance of taking on new duties and/or promotion. Sometimes, too, employers will be keen to harness the skills of Oxen in other ways and will offer training and a different role. By making the most of their opportunities, Oxen can not only further their career, but also add to their capabilities.

      For Oxen who are currently unfulfilled in their role or seeking work, again interesting openings can be found. However, when making an application, extra effort and showing initiative at interview can make an important difference. In Monkey years Oxen do need to put themselves forward, not only emphasizing their skills but also their willingness to adapt and learn. Going that extra mile will be well worthwhile.

      Personal interests are also favourably aspected and many Oxen will be keen to build on what they do, try out new ideas and add to their knowledge. If intrigued by a new activity, they should investigate. Interests and recreational pursuits can bring considerable satisfaction this year, being a good outlet for skills as well as helping lifestyle balance.

      Progress made at work will help financially and many Oxen will decide to proceed with plans they have been considering for some time, including updating equipment. By looking at options and what best meets their requirements, they can make some useful acquisitions. Also, advance budgeting, including setting funds aside for a possible holiday, can lead to much going ahead. With discipline and good financial management, Oxen can do very well this year.

      The Monkey year can also offer good social opportunities. Oxen will find their work and interests will bring them into contact with many people and although Oxen like to take their time in building friendships and other connections, they will enjoy a good rapport with some of those they meet this year. Where matters of the heart are concerned, both existing romances and new ones can often develop well. While some Oxen tend to be private and reserved, all should aim to make the most of the social opportunities the Monkey year offers. There will be many good times to be had.

      Domestically, this will be an active year, with some Oxen despairing about all that needs to be done. Some weeks in particular could be frenetic, as important decisions need taking and other matters, including home maintenance issues, require swift attention. Being conscientious, Oxen will be keen to ensure the right decisions are taken and will sometimes feel under pressure. However, Oxen are blessed with good judgement, which will help them successfully deal with the more awkward moments the Monkey year can bring. Throughout the year, though, it is important that family members cooperate and share their thoughts.

      While some weeks will be pressured, the Monkey year will also bring its domestic pleasures. It has a spontaneity about it and some surprise occasions, including trips away, will be greatly appreciated and capable of doing everyone good.

      Monkey years have considerable energy and a lot will happen quickly. Although this may not always suit the Ox’s style, the year can bring excellent opportunities. Openings can arise and ideas occur that should be followed up. There will be ample opportunity for Oxen to add to their knowledge and skills and, by doing so, they will be investing in themselves and their future. Used well, these can be significant times. The Monkey year can also bring good social opportunities, although Oxen do need to engage in them! Their home life will be busy, but will also bring much that will be pleasing. An active year rich in possibility.
