It wasn’t so long ago when we celebrated the Year of the Ox, hindi ba? That was in 2009.
Here comes 2021, described as a year of the Ox, according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
The New Year, per this calendar, starts on February 12, 2021 (Chinese lunar New Year Day).
It will last until January 30, 2022.
It will be a Metal Ox year. The recent zodiac years of Ox sign are: 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021.
The next one shall be in 2033.
An Ox year occurs every 12 years.
Ox is not to be mistaken for a cow, although they have similar characteristics.
Ox is a domesticated form of the large horned mammals that once moved in herds across North America and Europe, but they have disappeared in these regions.
They’re very much around Asia and Africa, where some still exist in the wild state.
South America and Australia have no wild oxen.
It is said that people born in the Year of the Ox are strong, reliable, fair and conscientious, inspiring confidence in others.
They are also calm, patient, methodical, and can be trusted. Although they say little, they can be very opinionated.
TRIVIA PA MORE (Various Sources): Quack, quack…goes the duck. But did you know that such a quacking sound has no echo?
The Clown fish can be born male and female. They can switch
their sex later on as needed.
