Money for the Ox

The Year of the Earth Ox invites you to take a long-term approach to finance. Slow and steady wins the race this year, most likely with regard to jobs involving art and design. If you deal with real estate, consider avoiding get-rich quick schemes; developing a property over a long period of time will probably yield greater profits. Fortunately, you possess enough patience to pace yourself accordingly.

If you want a raise or promotion, think about asking for one between May and July when your boss is likely to be receptive to such requests. Although your wealth probably won't see a huge spike this year, it can be steady, which is a definite plus in this economy. Count your blessings. In the event you decide to launch a business, look at the idea of starting small -- you can always expand as you gain experience. It's better to do one thing well and efficiently than try to be all things to all people.

Love for the Ox

Things will go swimmingly for you this year, which means you can't take anything -- or anyone -- for granted. If you're in a relationship, take extra pains to attend to your partner's needs. This may be difficult, as you have a hard time expressing your emotions. In the event you earn lots of money while he or she suffers a career setback, you may want to encourage your mate to spend the year pursuing a cherished dream.

If your marriage is in trouble, you need to either get counseling or break things off altogether. 2009 marks a "make or break" point in your intimate relations. Single? You could meet someone special between September and November. Don't embark on this relationship lightly -- Earth Ox years favor long-term unions. You could meet the love of your life in a cooking, gardening or pottery class.
