Animal Sign: Ox

Birth Years: 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949

Outlook for 2017: While the Ox people have a benefic relationship in the Rooster year, it is advisable to get yourself covered with hospitalization or travel insurance as a form of safeguard as there is a possibility of meeting with an accident, natural disaster and serious illness when you are overseas. This is due to the rare confluence of negative stars like Court Talisman, 5-Ghost, Blood Dagger and Flying Dagger which spell trouble. If possible, do avoid dangerous sports and speeding on the road. Do not take short cut just for convenience or for making the quick bucks. This will land you into unnecessary brushes with the law or legal disputes. Ox people who are also born into the Sun signs of Sagittarius and Gemini will be more prone to such incidents. The good news is that there is a Heaven Rescue star that will come in to dissolve and mitigate some of these negative energies should you really encounter one.

At home, please be careful of your words because being too direct can lead to many misunderstandings especially if you are also a Virgo.
