Throughout the ages the Ox has worked dutifully, carrying out the tasks man has set, whether toiling in fields or pulling ploughs, the Ox has proved a strong and faithful worker. And these qualities are so often found in those born under the second of the Chinese signs – Neil Somerville.
It’s Chinese New Year soon; most of family will be preparing for the coming year and is blissful time for the majority of children during this time of the year; they will be dressed up from head to toe with all brand new outfits and wait for Red Envelop. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival.
2009 is the Year of the Ox, which is also known by Chinese Astrology its formal name of Yi Chou (己丑). The Chinese Zodiac is a 12 year cycle. Each year of the 12 year cycle is named after one of the original 12 animals. Each animal has a different personality and different characteristics. The animal is believed to be the main factor in each person's life that gives them their traits, success, and happiness in their lifetime.
