Ox in 2008 - Raise your eyebrows and blow your breath. This is the time to show off. It’s a smooth year, replete with many guardian angels and opportunities. The spotlight will be shining on you, so promote yourself. You have the power. Take tests. Get married. Don’t wait. Grab the opportunities. This is a good time to be rid of your old afflictions through good medicine. A good doctor may be in your future. If you find one, switch to that method to cure yourself.

2/4-3/5: Health is poor.  Old illness returns.  Don’t just take over-the-counter drugs.  Exercise more and get plenty of sleep.  Attend to your health. 

3/5-4/5: Be very careful when you are outdoors.  A fall or some accident might be in your future.  To prevent mistakes, don’t make hurried decisions.  Slow down. 

4/5-5/6: Things are smooth, especially in business.  Make big decisions.  Avoid sharps such as tools and bladed weapons, as well as twisting injuries. 

5/6-6/5: You’ll get along well with others.  Friendships improve.  Be lawful.  Go by the book or you’ll get busted.

6/5-7/7: Don’t look for trouble.  Avoid negativity.  Nothing is smooth.  To escape a low fate, change your attitude.  Be more optimistic. 

7/7-8/7: There are many hurdles ahead.  Be persistent and you can win.  Do everything halfway and you will fail.  Use your head.  Be humble.  Listen to others – that’s the beginning of success.

8/7-9/7: Spirits are high, so take advantage and promote yourself.  If you’re too conservative, or succumb to ease and comfort, you will miss an opportunity. 

9/7-10/8: Put your talents to good use.  You’ll undoubtedly reap emotional benefits, but if you’re too slaphappy, others will be envious and defensive.  Enable yourself to disappear.
