새해 복 많이 받으세요! It’s Seollal (설날) – Lunar New Year – and 2021 is the year of the Ox!
According to the Lunar Zodiac, those born under the sign of the Ox are strong, determined, and dependable people. They are patient, creative, hard-working, and find success by being persistent, working with their capabilities and according to their ideals. Oxen are loyal and loving, and value their families. Some of their weaknesses include communication skills and many prefer to be independent and enjoy solitude rather than group settings and social gatherings. They also tend to be stubborn. The year of the Ox is said to be one of positivity, strength, hard work, and honesty.
Some well-known people born under the Ox sign include Barack Obama, Vincent Van Gogh, and Walt Disney. Were you born under the year of the Ox?
