Year of the Ox: Personality horoscope
Concerning his sentimental life, the Ox has an immoderate love for his family. Life would have no meaning for him without the presence of his family and friends. He is faithful in love and cares very carefully about the education of his children. Very territorial, the Ox is also jealous and possessive. It is better not to enter his domain without having his prior blessing.
On a morphological level, it is not uncommon for people born during a year of the Ox to be broad-shouldered, just as they generally have good bone strength.
Very disciplined in his daily life, loyal and rather honest, his opinions are generally conservative and respectful of the established order. As a result, the Ox sometimes suffers from a lack of fantasy, which doesn't prevent him from excelling in the creative trades whose high level of requirement is up to his abilities.
Self-disciplined and organized, the Ox favors when he can the creation and development of his own business rather than having to report to a superior. That is why, when the conditions allow it, the Ox would rather choose a solitary job, in order to preserve his peace of mind and his productivity, especially as speed not being his best asset, he needs to manage his progression to the rhythm that suits him best.
In the business world, the Ox is a trustworthy professional, with whom one can work serenely, despite his highly developed ego and his lack of flexibility. In case of too much frontal contestation or if he feels betrayed, always beware of the Ox; even wounded, he will always have the strength and agility needed to grip his enemy in the whirlwind of his violent and destructive anger.

Chinese horoscope of the Ox during the Year of the Rabbit 2023, in love, work, career, health, luck, studies and travels
The Year of the Water Rabbit 2023 augurs a quiet period without major obstacles for the Ox. According to the Chinese horoscope 2023, the Ox will still be strongly encouraged, on certain key occasions, to pay attention to the methods he uses to achieve his ends. If the Ox is already exercising a stable professional activity, he will have no trouble advancing at his own pace, but if not, he will have to use discreet stratagems to guarantee the sustainability of his job. The more the Ox will be able to show flexibility, the better he will succeed in obtaining what he covets. In the same way, all the commitments made the previous year must first have been completed before he can seriously consider embarking on a new existential dynamic. Otherwise, the Year of the Rabbit 2023 will not hesitate to subject the Ox to the upheavals of his unfinished actions. Nevertheless, joyful news will come from time to time to brighten up his daily life. The Ox's spirit of devotion will earn him some rewards in the end. These will take root in the new friendships formed during this Chinese year 2023. But for these promises of a better life to materialize, one will need to be selective, given the many requests that will arise for the Ox in 2023.
Indeed, according to the Ox's 2023 horoscope for work and money, this need to sort things out is particularly important when it comes to finances. No loan or credit should be made without the signing of a prior agreement. A friendship transformed into a partnership is not necessarily a good thing for the Ox in this Year of the Rabbit 2023. In the event of negligence in the analysis of the profile of a business partner, the Ox risks losing a large part of his invested funds, not that his partner is malevolent, but rather maladjusted and immature. Little resentful, the Ox will still be able to recover from this setback, despite the bitterness induced by this experience.
According to the love horoscope 2023 for the Ox, the 2nd Chinese zodiac sign can expect to spend a much more pleasant lunar new year in love than all the other areas of his life. The Rabbit (animal of the year 2023) advises him to spend long quiet evenings sheltered and warm, in the company of the people he loves the most. No psychological disorder should compromise the serene atmosphere that he will manage to infuse in his home, including himself. If moments of stress are to be endured outside or at work, the Ox will make the necessary efforts not to take them home and subject them to other members of his family, strangers to his problems. The Year of the Rabbit 2023 encourages the improvement of the living comfort of the home. Some efforts in interior decoration, or even the prospect of finding another accommodation, more adapted to his needs, could be one of the important projects of the year. On the other hand, and this particularly concerns the Ox, any modification of the home must be made according to the Feng Shui predictions of the Year of the Rabbit 2023.
