The personality of people born under the Ox sign

They are more of a low key and never look to be the center of attention. This often hides their talent, but they will gain recognition through their hard work. Honest and hardworking Ox is able to achieve considerable success in the professional field.

Oxen believe that everyone should do what’s asked for them and stay within their bounds. Rarely losing their temper, they think logically and make great leaders. People of this sign love to be in the company of creative people, but they will never adapt to the surrounding people in order to receive any benefit.

Thanks to their confidence and stability Oxen will make good lawyers and managers of small and large enterprises.

It is hard to imagine a romantic Ox doing crazy things for the sake of love. But deep down there is a storm of emotions. People of this sign prefer to say little and to the point, they show their love in actions not words. The right partner will never betray you and will do everything to make life without unnecessary worries and problems. So if you look for the perfect family men and you are ready not to put too much pressure on them when it comes to expression of their feelings, they are a great match.

The weakest side of any Ox is their communication skills. Put it simply they are not great when it comes to communicating or even sharing ideas with others.

Men born in the Ox year are reliable and trustworthy. They put their entire heart into everything they do. They feel great responsibility towards their family. On the other hand due to their confidence they won't allow anyone to go against their rules. They have high expectations from children even though it might be unrealistic.

Women born in the Ox year are calm and gentle. They will never surrender to fate and rarely think of choosing an alternative. Despite being stubborn they think and react quickly, but once they make their choice they will hold to it no matter what. They are traditional, faithful wives and put a lot of effort into children education.

Children born in 2021

Every Ox child is born with an inner compass that will guide them in their life. You definitely need to establish whats right and wrong as soon as possible and remember that these children will follow your example even if it falls outside of right thing to do.

Another thing to remember is that Ox kids naturally shield their feelings and won't easily share what's on their mind let alone to show their emotions. They are naive in many ways and fully rely on your moral support even if they don't ask for it.  

There is a very good chance this kid will be a great source of pride for his parents thanks to its character and accomplishments.
