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?

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.

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.

Looking for nice Virgo or Capricorn next? She filed for divorce; she suffers from mental illness (high functioning) but all her things from the past/childhood are now coming out. I was very sad and depressed but I realize that I can't do anything about it. I do still love her but she seems headstrong about this. Even the divorce attorneys asked if this is really what she wanted to do. 2 kids (4 and 20 months), just built a home in 2007, good job, rental homes etc. Well, I am reconnecting with friends and family who stayed away due to her mental illness and just overall negativity. I'm sure I will be better off. She wouldn't even agree to one more day for me to spend with the kids for New Years. I allowed her to have more time today instead of picking them up for dinner. That's what I get for trying to be cordial. I just have to deal with this person with BPD for the next 20 years. Really wonder what happened to the person that I knew and loved- she seems long gone now. I'm sad to have married a farce- the mask came off in 2009.

The year of the Ox has been a rather challenging year for me. Lot's of hard work, uncertainties, obstancle's, stress, anger and mental exhaustion. I really feel like a hard working Ox this year. I have done nothing but WORK all year around! I felt very lonely this year. I feel out of place in my surrounding and confused about my future. Financially, I am drained, and have to look for a new job as my work contract ends Jan. 31, 2010. I am in a long distance love relationship. My Gemini/Ox bf and I broke up this summer, but, thanks god got back together a few month ago. Our relationship grew stronger, despite the fact that we have not seen each other since a year! It's heart breaking to be away from someone for soo long. Financially, we are both unstable this year. We are hoping to get married next year. This is what we are working so hard for now. THe loss of M. Jackson was also a big shock. On the contrary I would like to add, I am surrounded by many Ox friends. Ox people are great friends to have. Who ever said that Ox and Dragon is a bad match, need to re-think. I love my Ox men with all my heart and soul, and want not exchange him for any other of the 11 signs. :) Happy Holidays to all!

I thought I was the only one who thought this year has been a nightmare! For me (a dog), it has been a year from hell. Everything that could go wrong has and it has been full of hard work that hasn't paid off yet and full of heartache. I don't want to get out of bed most days. I'm hoping and praying next year will be the exact opposite. THANK GOD I stumbled upon this site! I thought I was the only one who thought this year has been a nightmare!

I'm a Pisces/Rat and my boyfriend is a Sagittarian Ox, just broke it off with him. We had a long distance relationship which could never get off ground always arguing. My dear mother, Taurus/Tiger was diagnosed with Cancer Stage IV and has gone to her bones. She is a trooper and is fighting hard but I'm afraid I'm going to lose her soon. Keep your prayers going please. It's been quite a devastating year for me and my family, career wise I haven't had any luck trying to move up the ladder or find any other job.

Life moves on, people die every single day out of 100 billion people. Another thing is, this can be a sign for the Ox. Yes I agree, the Ox year has been ugly, as I am an Ox myself
