Earth Worx

2009 is the year of the world ox from a Chinese astrology perspective. The factor that cycles each two years is known as the heavenly stem; so there are fire, earth, metal, water, and wood oxen. Variations in the heavenly stem influence one’s personality, which explains why not all ox (people or years) are the same.

The earthly branch is the animal-one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. Ox is considered 2nd in the hierarchy, following the rat. 2009 is based on the Gregorian calendar, whereas the Chinese calendar is 4707. The ox is once in a while likewise called the cow or buffalo.

Ox years specifically represent hard work. Think of the animal in it is natural surroundings. It works alone or with one other and stays unfeigned to it is course. The ox is conservative, focused, and serious. Their mottos is “I will,” which in a literal sense may result in a test of wills.

The stubborn ox challenges the Feng Shui fire year (normally brings out a more social, gregarious, and ambitious side). On the surface, Feng Shui world and fire elements compliment each other; however, world reduces fire (think of your Scouting days – dirt over the fire to put it out). In addition, the ox’s unfeigned nature is world so this year is a double-earth over fire year. Earth, in of itself, may protest alter but come around after there’s time to process. Double world will adamantly resist.

I can’t aid but equate it to the presidential election here in the U.S. Obama, whose slogan has long been “Change We Can Believe In,” has altered his slogan to “Change We Need.” I think most persons agree we can’t survive more of the same, and that the economy would be more stable had there been more accountability and oversight. Will we learn from the past? Will there be a struggle of wills? I think so, no matter of who wins the election. It will be interesting to see how it plays out, and the new President has his hands full. The ox year will command a organized approach and quantifiable results.

“Earth” businesses will do reasonably well. They include real estate, recruiting, the feed industry, farming, household products, and practical clothing. The energy implies business consolidation, which is ordinarily met with layoffs. Next months’ article, 2009 Feng Shui and the Fire Year, will disclose another layer of complexity. Earth years may also formulate an earnest search for spirit and more focus on family. It’s fun to validate this theory by looking at history. The Chinese astrology calendar has a 60-year cycle, so the last time we experienced world ox energy was 1949.

Events that happened in 1949: Mao Tse Tung’s army marches into Nanking; a bill is introduced to relocate African-Americans “equitably” allround the country; Truman institutes policy of aid to underdeveloped countries; flight records are made; NATO begins; Republic of Ireland is created; Siam becomes Thailand; Chinese Communists take Shanghai; Orwell’s 1984 is published; Supreme Court rules that proof accumulated through illegal search and seizure may still be used in prosecution; apartheid begins by law in South Africa; Willie Mayes debuts; Vatican excommunicates Communists; seven UFOs in three pairs with one trailing are tracked for ten minutes; Ingrid Bergman divorces and quits Hollywood; Truman announces Russia has The Bomb; Mao Tse Tung becomes Chairman of China; and Chiang Kai-shek’s government flees to Taiwan.

All the King’s Men won best picture. Let’s look at some of the births that year. Some believe we need to see where we came from to see where we’re going (i.e., lessons turned to opportunities). How have these people lived their lives? Think with objectivity regarding the affect they’ve had: George Forman, Robert Palmer, Steve Perry, Erik Estrada, Patrick Duffy, Jessica Lange, Billy Joel, Hank Williams, Jr., Lionel Richie, Meryl Streep, Lindsay Wagner, Maureen McGovern, Richard Gere, Joe Theisman, Ed Begley, Jr., Twiggy, Bruce Springsteen, Sigourney Weaver, Bruce Jenner, Richard Dreyfuss, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Shaffer, Garry Shandling, Jeff Bridges, Tom Waits, Maurice and Robin Gibb, Susan Lucci, and Sissy Spacek. When you think of oxen, these humans are famous but keep to themselves for the most part.

Each Chinese astrology animal has an opposing animal. For the ox this is the ram (or sheep). These are both earth-related animals which implies severe earth-related sensations or changes such as earthquakes. With underlying yin fire, a volcano may also erupt. Other earth-related animals are dragon and dog. Dogs, dragons, ox, and sheep need to keep out of the way of strong world settings such as mountains and deserts for the duration of world and fire months (Feb. 5-Mar. 6, May 6-Jun 6, Jul 7-Sep. 8, Nov. 7-Dec. 7 ), and when their astrology sign is vulnerable (we provide this selective information as part of our on a monthly basis tip).

Does life come to a stand still because it’s not particularly a good year? No, of course not. This is helpful info that enables success. If your energy is low this year, postpone strategic conclusions and major purchases for a better time. You may be sure I check energy patterns and other conditions in my planning process.

This ox world influence likewise brings health cautions such as cancer and liver issues. If you’re a drinker, do it in moderation. You’ll find the DUI (driving underneath the influence) will be met with stricter punishment. Purge your body of free radicals. Explore anti-oxidant agents such as vitamins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and tea. Earth likewise represents the abdomen, stomach, immune system, spleen, joints, hands, and shoulders. Take care of your stomach, and stretch your body to support with joint and shoulder pain.
