RAT These are trying times , and so a rosy picture cannot be painted for anyone . But relatively speaking , the Rat is in a good position in the year of the Ox . The Ox is an animal that delivers ( and expects ) dedicated , consistent labour . Everyone will have to give it their all in 2021 , but luckily for the Rat , that work is a little easier when you are friends with the boss .
OX Other Chinese zodiac signs will be asked to step up their efforts this year , but for the Ox , it ’ s time to reap the benefits of the cumulative efforts they ’ ve made year in , year out . It will be a positive and productive year when their hard work is rewarded . It ’ s also an excellent year for having a child , starting a family , and marriage for the Ox .
TIGER The Tiger is one of the animal signs that will have to learn how to adjust to the work ethics of the Ox . Keep your emotions in check and accept the fact that 2021 is going to ask more from you . It will be worth it , though , since 2022 will be the year of the Tiger . They ’ ll be starting a new cycle next year anyway so it ’ s a good time for them to complete things .
RABBIT It could be a challenge because of unrealistic standards from others . The Rabbit could feel frustrated if rewards are delayed or projects take more time than anticipated . Be patient and know that it ’ s okay if your work is not immediately rewarded . Fight the urge to make quick decisions .
DRAGON Don ’ t assume everything will be handed to you at once . Expect a year of steady progress in the reaping of activities begun in the previous Rat year . Wishful thinking is nice , but in the year of the Metal Ox , it won ’ t get you very far if you don ’ t stay focused and grounded .
SNAKE The Snake will be slightly better off in 2021 as compared to 2020 . Unlike the previous Rat year , Snake ’ s work will be rewarded . Great news ! But of course , there is a catch : Don ’ t allow Ox ’ s stubborn influence to make Snake unreasonable or demanding . Be aware of how you approach difficult subjects and how you handle certain relationships .
HORSE The past year was a difficult one for everyone , but the Horse especially . That is because , according to Levitt , the Rat is the Horse ’ s natural opposite . The Ox , however , won ’ t be as hostile towards you . The Horse is easily excitable , but the Ox is more even-keeled and steady . Respect that and you will do well in 2021 .
GOAT Just as the year of the Rat was difficult for the Horse , the same will be true of Goat in an Ox year . If Goat cannot create new opportunities and has to perform what might be considered repetitive or mundane tasks , stay with the program and don ’ t allow your finances or morale to be low . Instead , it ’ s time to develop structure , reduce clutter , and stay focused .
WHAT AWAITS YOU IN 2021 , BASED ON YOUR CHINESE ZODIAC SIGN ?
MONKEY The Monkey is clever ; some might say scheming . More devoted to play than work , the Monkey will try to sidestep the Ox wherever possible . There can be difficulties that force Monkey to restrain their ambitions . If Monkey wants to avoid Ox ’ s demand for hard work , then they can do that if they go through a messenger or liaison .
ROOSTER The upcoming year will be most fortunate for the Rooster as its values most closely align with those of the Ox . As Chinese zodiac signs go , these two are highly compatible , mainly because Rooster is already used to working hard on a daily basis . Ox offers the stability , faithfulness , and sincerity that Roosters like .
DOG For the Dog in the Ox year , there could be some minor problems . This is due to a difference in perspective : while Ox prefers to stay the course , Dog favours trying new things . Their revolutionary ideas and altruistic concepts could be challenged . Dog people are likely to meet resistance in the year of the Metal Ox .
PIG Luck will be on the side of the Pig as long as they abide by Ox ’ s rules . It ’ s a good and harmonious year when Pigs ’ efforts are appreciated . There could be opportunities for career advancement , although Pig must adopt Ox ’ s strong work ethic . Remain diligent in your efforts and good fortune will come !
