Ox

The Ox

The Yin water animal.

Corresponding Western Sign: Capricorn

Ox people are basically honest, straight-forward people. They are often hard-working and down-to earth. They are normally very easy to get along with as they do what they say they will and say what they mean.
They are often portrayed as placid, and for the most part this is true, but beware stretching their patience too far, as they can then react like a red flag to a bull, and their hot-tempered side is shown.
