Each year also carries an element. Wood Ox brings growth and generosity — expansive, co-operative, always reaching for more room; Fire Ox brings heat and drive — passionate, restless, quick to act and quick to burn; Earth Ox brings weight and patience — steady, practical, the one who stays put and endures; Metal Ox brings edge and resolve — determined, self-contained, unwilling to bend; Water Ox brings depth and flow — reflective, persuasive, finding the way around rather than through.
