Chinese zodiac

Ox 牛

The Ox is patient strength: slow, durable work that outlasts the people who rushed.

The Ox is the cycle's builder: patient, methodical, and almost impossible to hurry. It reads as endurance, reliability and the willingness to do the unglamorous work for as long as it takes.

The shadow is stubbornness and silence: the Ox can carry a problem for years without mentioning it. The useful reading is stamina — the chart shows whether it becomes mastery or resentment.
