No other precious metal conveys prestige like gold, and this exclusive masterpiece will take a special place in your collection. The common expression "strong like an ox" isn't just about physical strength; it also refers to the Ox's mental fortitude. No matter how difficult a task may be, the Ox personality keeps going. While other zodiacs may rely on wit and cunning, the Ox achieves its goals through sheer tenacity and dedication. Its patience is legendary, but the quiet and introverted Ox will buck injustice to take command if pushed too far. It's a fair-minded powerhouse that will honour you with an unwavering bond.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Year of the Ox occurs every 12 years-1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009-and now, 2021. However, the Chinese New Year shifts annually due to the Spring Festival, and this affects the zodiac for people born in January and February. For example, the Year of the Ox begins on February 12, 2021 and ends on January 30, 2022.
Famous Canadian Ox people include: Oscar Peterson, Jim Carrey, Marc Garneau, Michael J. Fox, Eric Lindros, Roch Carrier, Frank Mahovlich, Neve Campbell and Paul Coffy.
Ox people are strong and robust. They generally enjoy a long, full life with few health issues.
Ox people thrive in careers that demand a strong work ethic and determination to get things done. They perform well in manufacturing, mechanics, pharmaceuticals, draftsmanship, politics, real estate, carpentry, engineering and agriculture.
The practical, hard-working Ox will forge the strongest relationships with the Snake and Rooster. It will have difficulty trusting the Monkey's scheming ways, and will find the Sheep's emotional sensitivity intolerable.
Every Chinese zodiac rotates through the 5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Metal Ox personalities born in 2021 will have an iron will and nerves of steel. They are reserved, but will express themselves sharply and decisively when necessary.
