Happy new lunar year of the Ox!

During ox years, everyone has to get down to work and pull heavy barges. For those who don't like work, the years of the ox can be disastrously barren. Dictators flourish during the years of the ox. Careful to the way you vote. The years of the ox, however, are good for the farmers. Crops are generally not devastated by insects, floods, droughts or marauding animals. Oxes born in winter are safe from trouble and tend to be more jovial than those born during the hard summer labor days.

Rat: The Year of the Ox is not a good one for rats. Remember that rats love to live on the land. The ox does not like poachers.

Ox: Of course, since they’re the one in charge, the Oxen should be very happy during their year. They make their best decisions when their authority is not in question.

Tiger: Tigers don't benefit from the goodwill of the ox. Tigers should not budge and wait for better days because any business is untimely for the tigers during the Ox years.

Cat / Rabbit: While the ox does not directly threaten the cats’ balance, it has little indulgence for their prudish demeanors. If I were you, cats, I would make myself very small. Use your charm to the fullest. 2022 will not help matters much.

Dragon: When it comes to authority, few things affect the fearless dragons. Still, it won't be their best years. Oxen think dragons are false gods. They don't do much to make their lives easier.

Snake: Slow to react, the snake will seem to ignore the authority of the ox. Hold on, snakes. The oxen do not give out beauty prizes while they are on the throne.

Horse: For the horses, the work will be profitable during the years of the ox. But love will dry up and fly away. Beware of irrational decisions based on sentimental disappointments. 2022 will be more to your liking.

Goat: The worst. Pity the goats who like to graze quietly. The ox will come with its plow to turn meadows of the sweetest clover.

Monkey: Whatever the year, the monkeys always manage to get by. They are happy under the reign of the ox. Jesters are useful to the serious king ox.

Rooster: When necessary, the roosters can manage. A year of the ox will see the triumph or the ruin of the roosters. If they work hard, a lot of profit awaits.

Dog: Not your best years folks. You may try to achieve your greatest feats, but the ox will find you at fault. Don't put your situation at risk. Better luck in 2022.

Pig: In the years of the Ox, pigs must adapt to the inclement climate of hard and continuous work. These aren't their worst years, but maybe their least fun.

“I create” “I demand”

Water, Mars, Fixed Positive Fire, Yang

This jaunty creature embodies most of the positive traits of the signs it combines.

Scorpio/Horses are magnetic. And they are popular. They are disciplined and

accomplished. They are persuasive and inspired, dedicated and fashionable. Scorpios

born in Horse years are both independent and autonomous. There is little to prevent

these folks from succeeding in a world class way.

This character has the vision and perspicacity of Scorpio and knows how to couple it

with the Horse’s natural vitality. He will take on projects that would cow anyone less

competent, and carry them to their logical ends with remarkable facility. The

Scorpio/Horse is a doer of impossible deeds. Success is written all over whatever he

touches. He’s not afraid of work and he’s got some of the most unbelievably fanciful

notions you ever heard of.

This bent for fantasy can sometimes be his undoing. The Scorpio born Horse does not

fit in well with his peers. He is popular and admired, but people don’t understand him

very well. He’s too different. He’s too odd to make others feel completely

comfortable about him. Scorpio/Horse is, moreover, unafraid of popular opinion and

carries on with his fancy ideas no matter what or who tries to get in his way. He’s not

cruel. Just ruthlessly determined to get where he is going.

Scorpio/Horse takes no detours, either. Nor does he beat around the bush. He says

what he thinks needs saying and then he sits calmly watching the fireworks. He is the

voice of truth. He proclaims outrageous verity with apparent impunity. Once you

know this person and understand how extraordinarily individualistic he really is, you

expect the satirical banter, which can also make you crack up laughing.

The Scorpio/Horse has a rather difficult time getting started in life. He is easily

affected by his surroundings, and if his family life is not perfectly peaceful, he can

suffer undue guilt feelings. He’s an anxious sort, and so sensitive to what is going on

around him that he feels responsible and may retreat into his shell as a child. As a

young adult he will search hard to find his true path. Once he gets past thirty, nothing

can stop him. He’s a winner, an eccentric, and quite a deep thinker as well.

Scorpio/Horses likes to dress up in fanciful garb. They are drawn to the conservative

but find adding a rhinestone clip or splashy tie irresistible. He likes to present well

and is overly concerned about physical attributes, both in himself and others. He cares

if he’s going bald. She worries if she notices a wrinkle.

This person will have excellent skill with things manual. He or she may build rooms

or restore old houses or design wallpapers or knit shawls with weird patterns in them.

Scorpio/Horse is, in fact, a bit of a bohemian by nature, and does not hesitate to flout

convention or commit acts that “shock” society. Scorpio/Horses are compassionate

and will help out those less fortunate than themselves. They are not comfortable with

money. They are, by turns, stupidly spendthrift and stingy.

Love

The love life of Scorpio/Horse people is rarely based on undying passion.

Scorpio/Horses, like all other horses, are practical above and beyond everything. They

choose mates for their convenience and comfort. They take lovers if they need to

enjoy the odd fling. But inside their marriages they appear staid and perfectionist.

Have you a Scorpio/Horse mistress or lover? If so, you already know that she or he is

totally weird and wonderful. There is depth and charm in this character. You will be

entertained and amused. The Scorpio/Horse likes sports and enjoys games. You will

love him or her best by standing by in times of crisis and otherwise staying out of his

or her way. The Scorpio/Horse needs a helpmate in the truest sense. He would like to

do it all himself and certainly could—but he’d rather have a nice sidekick.

Compatibilities

If you meet up with a tawny Tiger or graceful Goat, you’ll probably fall for the

Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn or Pisces variety. The Virgo and Pisces/Dogs, despite their

apparent disquietude, appeal to your sense of caring. Rats never get on with Horses.

Be particularly wary of Taurus, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius/Horses, especially when it

comes to matters of the home. Aquarius/Cat is the last person on Earth you should

hang around with.

Home and Family

Scorpio/Horse is meticulous about his interior. He wants it just right and comfortable

as well as beautiful. He likes things orderly but is not maniacal about cleanliness.

Mostly, Scorpio/Horse is conscientious about his surroundings, and if they are

pleasant it is because he made them that way.

As a parent, this person can be accused of fanaticism. Scorpio/Horses adore their kids.

They live for their offspring and they do far too much for them. They give their kids

everything any kid could want, and more. They spend time with them and they play

with them. Scorpio/Horses should have scads of children. They are really good at it.

These children are cuddly and wise, sensitive and sensible. If a parent says “You can’t

have that today, dear,” the Scorpio/Horse child, reasonable beyond his years, will

invariably say, “All right. I can always have it another time.” These kids are loving

and easy to raise. They go it alone for most of their lives, and ask little more than love

and feeding. They spend much time on their own, and like to be allowed to do crafts

and pursue hobbies.

Profession

Gifted for achievement, the Scorpio born Horse mutely proclaims from the moment

he is born, “I demand to create.” It is a motto that suits him down to the ground. He

will carry off all professions with aplomb but will be best suited to artistic ones.

As an employee, the Scorpio/Horse may prove unruly. He hates routine. He can adjust

to workday habits, but he prefers to do things on his own time and in his own personal

way.

I see the Scorpio/Horse best suited for leadership or even for independent solitary

work. He is always champing at the bit to get his project done. He needs little

prodding.

There is no reason Scorpios born in Horse years cannot be bosses. But I expect they

would have difficulty delegating authority and might tend to do rather too much of the

work themselves.

Suitable careers for this character are: undercover agent, lawyer, medical researcher,

entrepreneur, chef, choreographer, singer, city planner, graphic artist, film producer,

actor.

Some famous Scorpio/Horses: Teddy Roosevelt, Paul Simon, Daniel

Barenboim, Jacques Faizant, Martin Scorsese, Nestor Almendros, Serge Lama,

Aleksander Kwasniewski (Poland), Billy Graham, Sophie Marceau.

Of course our urban-worshipping world of today gives little opportunity for exhibitions of brute force. Gone are the days when a homely young woman would carry babies and bucketfuls of water in the same load up the steepest hill was preferred over her weak and beautiful fairy princess sister. Nowadays people are rewarded for their grasp of the artificial. The girl with the prettiest makeup job is luckier in love than the industrious Cinderella who takes in laundry to help her widowed mother. Our modern hero is the chap with the zippy sports car and the plastic smile. The one in the toothpaste commercials.

So it is that Aries/Ox becomes disenchanted with life and its superficialities. Today's demands for chic and style grate on Aries/Ox's nervous system. Where are the values of yesteryear? wonders the disgruntled Aries/Ox, embittered and finally alienated. I shall move to the country. I'll get an unlisted address. Who needs this phony baloney world?
