A Libra Born in the Year of the Ox

So I have learned I am a Libra!

I did some research on line and learned that Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. Librans are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them and they don't want to be alone. They are good when paired up as they epitomize balance, harmony and a sense of fair play. While they are true team players at work, their favorite partnership is at home: marriage. Librans are most compelled when they are coupled up with their lover forever. It is the Scales which symbolize Libra and Librans want to be on an even keel and striking the right balance. Librans are objective, just, and want to do what's best for everyone. They abhor conflict. They study every possible angle in the hopes ofs acheiving peace and harmony, so much that others may see them as fickle and indecisive. They are keen strategists, organizing groups with poise and getting the job done. They are also sociable folks.

I also learned that, according to the Chinese Zodiac, the year 2009 is the Year of the Ox (or Buffalo)!

After some research, I learned that those born under the influence of the Ox are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people work hard without complaints at work or at home. They know that they will succeed through hard work and sustained efforts, and to not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.

Invariably solid and dependable, Ox people are excellent organizers. They are systematic in their approach to every task they undertake. they are not easily influenced by other's ideas. Loyalty is a part of their make-up, but if deceived they will not forget. Oxen do not appear to be imaginative though they are capable of good ideas. Although not demonstrative or the most romantic people, they are very dependable and make devoted parents. Oxen are known for their patience, but it has limits - once roused, their temper is a sight to behold.

People born under the sign of the Ox usually have strong codes and work ethics. This can lead to a tendency to be a workaholic, and they should make an effort to relax more. Ox people are usually strong and robust, and according to ancient wisdom, they should be blessed with long lives. The Ox home is his castle where he finds relaxation and peace form the everyday hustle and bustle of his career or responsibilities. He also enjoys spending much time in planting gardens and trees. He generally prefers to decorate home comfortable with nature colors.

Able, ethical and aware, co-workers of the OX can depend on their eyes for details. Because they are so well organized they are better-suited for specialized positions and prefer to work in large companies. They work best when they work alone since they can be in happy when participating in a large group.
