The Year Of The Ox - Good, Bad or plain Ugly? |
![]() |
I don’t know about you guys but this year seems to have been nothing but trouble. the Year of the Ox certainly hasn’t brought much luck this year. There have been many deaths this year of both the famous, infamous and everyday people, a few of which I have known and lost myself.
So the question is this: How has this year been for you? Have you found it to also be a rather devastating and down right miserable year or have you had a different experience all together? If you could also mention your Chinese sign when commenting that would be great.
I myself am a Horse, not known to get on particularly well with the Ox. I will say this though, my personal relationship with my Fiancé has been getting stronger this year, but I think that’s because we have a ’solid as a rock’ relationship that not even an Ox can ruin! (No offence to Ox’s to be taken!!)
I look forward to hearing from you as always :)
I would just like to say Rest In Peace to a friend who was taken suddenly from this World this morning. She hadn’t even reached 30 and had 3 children…she is gone and noone knows why! This has been the worst year I have ever known, and I’ve experienced some pretty tough times !

Maybe not such a farce my friend. I have been married to a Sag for 23 yrs. We have broken up for good this time after 4 tries. She too has some kind of emotional prob. She also becomes very bored quickly & seeks other pastures. By the way.. Im Taurus.
We have 5 kids together but because of her wanderings & lack of commitment to home & family they reject her & her ways.
You re not alone in life. One day she is a major role of love & commitment & then. bam… Dead silence, with drawal, Lack of interest & total lack of communication.
I am planing on divorce in my case. Has to end somewhere.
Good luck.

I feel like I am getting ready to talk badly of a dear friend. I’m not sure why the Ox year should be considered a fiend to me at all though. It has also been a rough year for me. I hope some sign out there has benefited to offset all of us who have had a terrible year.
This year for me has been a reality check in a sense. Most years when something bad happens I have a chance to regain face before the “shit hits the fan”, but not this year. This year moved much to fast and not in many directions. The only direction was down. It started with a lost sense of self. This year forced me to see as others see which wasn’t pleasant to me. It was like putting on your grandmothers glasses, which hurt your eyes and give you a head ache. I never wanted to see things like this.
I was recently married, moved houses, moved towns, changed jobs. All this happened very early in the year and the repercussion were great. I was forced to feel inferior in a strange place with strange people all in my honeymoon year. This pain eventually led to me and my wife splitting. Not yet divorced, but ever so confused. I am sure that this relationship wont see the light and change directions till the Tiger year comes around. And when that happens I will probably throw a party!! This year has brought many extremes in family,love, life and jobs. All of which I would love to change. I have never felt so alone and confused in all of my 31 years. Its not exactly dejavu but close. Any bad situation I previously went thru seemed to repeat it self in odd ways this year. It was odd cause it was not exactly the same, but just as painful as the first time.
My wife was diagnosed with cancer. She is at the point were she doesn’t go and see the doctor any more and wouldn’t even tell me if she did. I guess she wants death to be a surprise, I just wish she would help herself and let others help too. And we also got hit with the news of never being able to have kids together. She has 3 but I have none and desperately want to experience what others have had a chance to. So should I be a good soldier and stay and help her regardless if she wants it or not? Or should I go and live my life with a person who can give me what I want/need. Someone who will at least see me on holidays! Or see me when I am not spending money on them!
This year has also seen the loss and strain of many good friendships. Those I wish to regain and help them thru the OX year as well. If they do better than so will I.
Later
Libra Horse.

It was a year like any other for me. People die every single day, famous people, even, year in, year out.
I think you’re looking at confirmation bias. You’re told bad things are supposed to happen in that year, and you notice the bad things more than you normally would.
I’ve had bad things happen to me in every type of year. I’ve had good things happen to me, too. To say that one “type” of year is any different just because it has some astrological concepts associated with it is not understanding what astrology is trying to teach you. You’re supposed to learn from challenges–whenever they happen, not wallow in self pity and see everything as ugly.
Good grief, what use is it to know this stuff if you don’t learn anything from it?
