Playing by the rules is key to your success. The Year of the Earth Ox won't favor any monkeying around when it comes to the law. That being said, your hard work and diligence will reap huge rewards. Just don't bite off more than you can chew -- it's better to focus on one or two big projects than juggle six or seven little jobs. This runs contrary to your multi-tasking instincts, but try anyway.

If you've had a hard time acquiring a skill in past years, that could change in 2009. This is your big chance to learn a foreign language, master a musical instrument or figure out a complicated software program … it's all a matter of perseverance. Fortunately, annoying distractions will be few and far between. Your health will be robust this year, especially if you drink plenty of water; keeping your kidneys flushed will stave off infections of all kinds. In the event you've been experiencing chronic health problems, you could finally find relief for them in 2009. Don't be adverse to holistic therapies. The Year of the Ox is also ideal for fixing dental problems. If you're struggling with substance abuse, do yourself a favor and check into rehab. You'll emerge feeling years younger.
