The Water Ox in Chinese Astrology

The element Water is believed to bestow a fluidity of temperament in a sign. Water signs are thus likely to be more creative and adaptable than other elements, even in the same sign. In event of a sign like Ox being allied with Water, the result is to dilute many of his/her fixed traits and make positive things flow more smoothly.

The Ox is undoubtedly one of the noblest and most caring among the animal signs of Chinese zodiac. And yet many people remain unaware of the deep feelings and generous heart of the Ox simply because this person is not really good with words. It is not so much that the Ox likes being private and mysterious like the Snake but rather he/she has a tough time finding the right words to express his/her thoughts and emotions. Fortunately the influence of Water works to loosen this blockage and helps the Ox’s powers of communication to flow more easily. This is an important reason why the Water Ox is likely to have the best inter-personal skills among all other Oxen from different elements. Once close friends and family hear from the Ox expressions of love and caring, they will only be more attracted to the appeal of his/her trustworthy, patient and deeply sensual natures.

Yet another way that Water acts as a positive influence on the Ox is to make his/her less rigid in nature. While the Ox is reputed to be one of the most dependable signs of the zodiac menagerie, the same trait also lends the personality an infuriating stubbornness of nature. Thus when encountering opposition, the Ox may respond by digging in its heels or lumbering upon a set course with blind determination. On many occasions this kind of obstinacy proves harmful, especially when the situation calls for flexibility or adjustment. Fortunately the element Water influences the Ox in a way so that he/she is more willing to consider changing his or her mind if the ends justify the change. Many Oxen tend to miss out on opportunities because they are not willing to make decisions quickly, but the Water Ox, with his/her greater flexibility, can make decisions faster if they see a reason to. As a result, the Water Ox is more likely to capitalize on good chances. When this is combined with their hard work ethic and systematic approach, the Water Ox can achieve a high degree of success. Also the Water Ox has the capacity to see things in overview instead of embarking on a wrong course first and then refusing to bail out even when things are plainly going wrong.

Finally the Water element opens up the Ox to variety in options and thought processes. In general, the Ox likes to stick to a familiar and even traditional way of doing things rather than sampling something new which may even deliver better results. However the inclusion of Water element in the Ox’s psychological makeup inspires him/her to consider new ideas and interests, thus creating many other possibilities in life.
