Chinese Zodiac: Ox

2012 Fortune by Chinese Zodiac Sign

By , About.com Guide

Several factors are used in Chinese fortune telling to determine a person’s fortune. Knowing your zodiac sign, element and predisposition (hot, cold, or neutral) are all used to determine your fortune. Consulting a Chinese almanac like 2012 Chinese Almanac by Peter So (ISBN 978-988-1905-6-9) or a fortune teller will help you find a detailed, more personal fortune.

The 12-year Chinese zodiac cycle also includes a corresponding element; therefore, it takes 60 years to complete an entire zodiac cycle. Each Chinese zodiac sign has a general 2012 fortune plus an additional 2012 fortune based on the person’s birth year. All months referenced refer to the lunar month.

Oxen are likely to:

  • Enjoy better social status like a job promotion.
  • Forgive people.
  • Get into fights.

Your additional fortune by birth year is:

1937: You will not feel like working hard.
1949: You will enjoy higher social status and authority.
1961: You’ll have luck with wealth.
1973: You have chances to learn and invest.
1985: You’ll have to work hard for money on your own.
1997: You don't feel like working hard this year. If you have important exams this year, you are not likely t achieve good results.
2009: You have better social status and get ahold of more power.
