There is the troublesome “Month Hurdle Star” casting its dark shadow on the luck of the Ox. The presence of this star means that they have to always allow for some leeway. This is for deadlines, deliverables, and even just being on the same page as to what type of outcome is expected. From the back end, they have to give allowances as what is delivered to them might not be what was promised. This can apply to physical products or even on the relationship side.
They may encounter their fair share of disappointments this year as people may fall short of expectations. They may have idealized some people so much that it will be difficult for those people to keep up with their idealized image. They have to be very mindful of the people they surround themselves with and the people they put their trust in.
The presence of this star may bring problems brought by women or create rifts in relationships. It will prove to be nothing too serious if patience, tactfulness, and openness are used in communicating to settle the issues. Putting their faith in the wrong people may result in money loss, a tarnished image or damaged reputation for them. Therefore, think thoroughly, research well, come up with a good strategy, and give things ample preparation time before plowing forward.
The presence of the “Drapes Star” in the chart of the Ox means that they should put in some extra effort into their relationship with their family and loved ones. Chances for disagreements are high so they should be patient and consciously keep communication lines open.
For the singles, this clash and change may actually be good and bring about a change in their status from being single to being in a relationship. For those who are in a relationship though, they should try to spend time with their significant other otherwise a change may also come in their status.
Since this star indicates that the health of an elderly family member may be affected, spending more time with them will enable them to take action immediately if a health issue arises. It is best to see a doctor regardless of whether the health issue is minor or not. It is best to err on the side of caution than to be sorry later on.
Because of the presence of the “Heavenly Dog Star,” the Ox should take precautions this year. They
should pay extra attention to their health and safety and be proactive where possible.
They should take sensible safety precautions like regular car maintenance, avoid speeding, and avoid taking unfamiliar shortcuts. They should be mindful of their belongings and important documents, especially when traveling to avoid losing or misplacing them. They also may be prone to easily catching whatever virus is circulating about, thus it is best for them to get some flu shots or regularly take Vitamin C to boost their immunity.
It will be best for them to always carry a Safety Medallion with them and have a Driving Safety Gourd in their cars.
The “Lamenting Guest Star” in their charts is also related to the health aspect of the Ox. This means that aside from being more vigilant with their own health, they should also be mindful of the health of their loved ones and the people around them.
It will be good for them to carry a Health Medallion with them always throughout the year and have a Brass Longevity Peach on their bedside table.
