Chinese New Year 2021 – The Year of the Ox
The first day of Chinese New Year begins on 12 February, the day of the New Moon and ushers in the Year of the Ox.
2021 – The Chinese Year of the Ox
When we think about the New Year, some images come to our minds, like a shower of fireworks, gifts, hugs, and, of course, the change of calendar. In the West, we use a calendar that considers that a year is completed as soon as the Earth takes a complete turn around the Sun. So, we only are considering the relationship between our planet and our star.
But not all Calendars follow the movement of the Sun. Some of them are based on the Lunar calendar as well. In the Chinese calendar, the time can be measured from the Moon and the Sun in relation to the Earth. According to this point of view, the New Year does not happen simultaneously with the Western New Year.
What is in common between the celebration of the Western New Year and the Chinese New Year’s celebration is the fireworks display.
A striking element of this tradition is the exchange of red envelopes with different amounts of money as a symbolic emergency reserve to face the year’s challenges. In general, older people or couples give these envelopes to children or people who are single.
An essential point about the Chinese New Year is that, in this case, each new cycle is represented by one of the 12 animals that took part in a meeting with Buddha: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. According to the year of birth, the Chinese horoscope considers these 12 animals and that all people are governed by these zodiacal signs. This zodiacal system is quite different from those used to.
In 2021, the animal of the Chinese New Year is the Metal Ox, with Yin polarity. The Chinese believe that signs connect with the soul of human beings and that the ruling animal can influence the spiritual experience of that year, based on its characteristics. The combination of the element and its polarity can have important meanings for everyone’s life.
The Year of the Ox
2021 will be ruled by the Ox and will start on February 3rd of the current year. To understand what this means, we need to know more about the Ox and what it represents for the Chinese horoscope. The Ox can also be known as the Buffalo.
The ox stimulates characteristics such as honesty, hard work, courage, and determination represented by white, green, and yellow colors. So, the ox sign people born in 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, and 2021, will present these qualities.
THE MAIN SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS OF THE OX
Here are some features that can be highlighted in the year of the OX:
• Loyalty;
• Construction;
• Justice
• Frankness;
• Intuition;
• Patience.
Metal Ox in Our Life in 2021
We already know that 2021 will not be easy, but it will be a year full of achievements. Besides being dedicated to the maximum to achieve your goals, it is important to stay healthy emotionally to not get carried away by lingering difficulties. Many elements and energies are hanging around pending still, awaiting their resolution.
Ox is a symbol of labor and resilience. It inspires hard work, the Metal Ox is also conducive to family moments and programs at home. You will feel more like spending time with your family. Pay attention to the way you communicate so that you do not generate unnecessary conflicts. In 2021, you’re likely to have friction with like-minded people. Maybe this will be a behavioral side effect of the constant social distancing. We may need to learn how to be social creatures again. So, have patience and common sense to not wear out of any of your relationships.
Concerning the year that will start, the Ox regency can be analyzed from a more collective and less individual aspect. Overcoming, commitment, and dedication are the virtues that will be present with more force worldwide.
METAL SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS
The following are some characteristics related to the Metal element:
• Success;
• Determination;
• Ambition;
• Stubbornness;
• Self-sufficiency.
Energies for 2021
The energies for 2021 will resume the importance of believing in recovery and transformation, getting your hands dirty, and changing everything that is not good for you or those who live around you. Even in the face of an uncertain future, the Ox vibrations will bring us strength and courage, and resilience.
However, analyzing the year of the Ox still goes beyond understanding that this animal will rule this new cycle. Several other conclusions can be drawn from this information.
2021 brings the Ox influence associated with the Metal element and the Yin energy. The union of these three aspects tells us that the year will be filled with a constant search for order and consistency in our attitudes and environment. Signs with Yang energy and which are influenced by other elements, such as wood, may have a little more difficulty adapting to this.
Another factor to be analyzed is what Metal refers to the lungs, and the search for clean air and a healthier lifestyle must be present in your decisions. Prioritize field trips to open spaces and pay attention to what you eat.
Although creativity is less stimulated at this stage, do not be discouraged. Use this increase in your energy to gain stability to demonstrate ethics and commitment in your work, in all circumstances. A negative point of the Ox’s influence is that it propagates the attachment to tradition and the refusal of new lifestyles.
Expect Challenges
The year 2021 will bring challenges that we cannot yet foresee but overcome with courage, strength, and determination. So, if you feel discouraged and hopeless, take a deep breath, be with the people you love, and take advantage of the energies that come from the management of the Ox to make a difference in your social circle!
