January 26th marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year. 2009 is the Year of the Ox, which predicts prosperity through fortitude and hard work. The Ox provides a much-welcomed turn of fortune.

As we bid farewell to the Year of the Rat, we look back and can recognize uncanny truths in the 2008 horoscope (but isn’t that always the case?). “Behind the smiles and charm, a strong sense of entitlement lurks deep within…Rats can be arrogant, deceptive and selfish…insisting on having things

their way no matter what the cost.” Courtesy Wikipedia.com. The ox is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things.

Some Famous Oxen include:
Barack Obama, Margaret Thatcher, Jack Nicholson, Meg Ryan, Meryl Streep, Princess Diana, Jon Bon Jovi, George Clooney, Walt Disney, Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Hopkins, Eddie Murphy, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Bruce Springsteen.
