Year of the Ox
The Chinese year 4706 begins on 26 Jan 2009, apparently. So bye bye to Year of the Rat... the year of wealth?!?
Some people asked why just the twelve animals??
Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one in the order they arrived. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some traits of that animal's personality. Those born in ox years tend to be painters, engineers, and architects. They are stable, fearless, obstinate, hard-working and friendly. Jack Nicholson, Jane Fonda, Walt Disney, Barack Obama and Anthony Hopkins were apparently all born in the year of the stubborn ox.
