The Ox and his Ascendants

Born During The Hours of the RAT - 11 P.M. - 1 A.M.

An Ox with a touch of real sentiment. The Rat's charm softens him and he is more flexible and communicative. Still, he never forgets an injury or how to count his pennies.

Born During The Hours of the OX - 1 A.M. - 3 A.M.

Master sergeant type. Put one toe out of line and he will chop it off. Gifted with extraordinary self-control and dedication. Not much can be said for his humour or imagination.

Born During The Hours of the TIGER - 3 A.M. - 5 A.M.

Captivating Ox with a lively personality. He certainly won't be soft-spoken or shy. By the way, watch out for his infamous temper.

Born During The Hours of the RABBIT - 5 A.M. - 7 A.M.

You still won't get this Ox to change his opinion about you, but at least he will be diplomatic and discreet. A genteel Ox who will collect art and antiques and is not fond of strenuous work.

Born During The Hours of the DRAGON - 7 A.M. - 9 A.M.

Great strength and power to achieve his ambitions. It is a pity he is so inflexible and opinionated; otherwise he could have so much more.

Born During The Hours of the SNAKE - 9 A.M. - 11 A.M.

This combination consists of two secretive signs that are adverse to taking advice. He could be a loner with a cunning side to his nature.

Born During The Hours of the HORSE - 11 A.M. - 1 P.M.

A happier Ox with some of the fancy ways of the Horse. Who knows, he may even love to dance. However, the mercurial Horse in him could steer him away from his steadfast goals.

Born During The Hours of the SHEEP - 1 P.M. - 3 P.M.

An artistic Ox with a tender side to his personality. Will be more lenient and receptive. He is business-minded and will have the sense to make money out of his talents.

Born During The Hours of the MONKEY - 3 P.M. - 5 P.M.

A shrewd but jovial Ox who just won't take his problems too seriously. With the Monkey's influence, he won't have to. He always has a card up his sleeve.

Born During The Hours of the ROOSTER - 5 P.M. - 7 P.M.

Dynamic and dutiful. He will argue a lot before taking action and uses colourful rhetoric instead of just his fists. Something of a cross between the soldier and the preacher.

Born During The Hours of the DOG - 7 P.M. - 9 P.M.

A severe moralist who could be utterly boring if not saved by the Dog's even temperament. Well, at least he won't be too prejudiced and will give you a fair hearing at the court-martial.

Born During The Hours of the BOAR - 9 P.M. - 11 P.M.

An affectionate Ox although he is still demanding and conservative. He lacks the needed conviction to press issues at times. His hard-working qualities will be equally matched by the Boar's love of good food.
