The Year of the Ox starts on February 12th, 2021. You may be familiar with the 12-year Chinese zodiac calendar, which is made up of 12 different animals, but it’s actually a lot more intricate.
Which type of Chinese year is this?
The years 2033, 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, and 1937 are currently the most important years of the Ox. Every twelve years, there is an Ox year. The second sign in the Chinese Zodiac is represented by the animal ox.
The year of the ox, 2021, begins on February 12 and lasts through January 31 of the following year, 2022. This year is a Metal Ox. 2022 is a year of the tiger in the following year.
The Ox is a representation of tenacity, strength, honesty, practical persistence, and riches. It is the strongest animal among the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac and is referred to as “the helpful helper” in Chinese agriculture.
Is this the horse’s year?
The Chinese year of the Horse, which begins on January 1st and ends on December 21st, is the seventh year of the 12-year cycle of Chinese Zodiac animals. According to an ancient Chinese legend, the Jade emperor arranged a race to decide which 12 animals would serve as his personal guards. In accordance with the cycle, the animals came.
The years 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, or 2026 saw the birth of those who were born in the Year of the Horse.
Though take note that the Gregorian and Chinese lunisolar calendars do not coincide exactly. Check the Chinese New Year dates from your birth year to find out your true zodiac sign if you were born in January or February (the Chinese New Year typically starts in late January or early February).
What is the element I was born in?
There are 12 astrological signs in tropical Western astrology. Each of the four elements has three zodiacal signs that are always exactly 120 degrees apart along the ecliptic and are said to be in trine with one another. The four classical elements, also known as triplicities, are used often by the majority of modern astrologers and are still considered to be a crucial component of astrological chart interpretation.
Aries, the first sign, which is a Fire sign, is followed by Taurus, an Earth sign, followed by Gemini, an Air sign, and then Cancer, a Water sign. The final and twelfth astrological sign, Pisces, marks the end of this cycle, which continues twice more. According to Marcus Manilius, the twelve astrological signs are each ruled by one of the following elements:
- 1 Aries, 5 Leo, and 9 Sagittarius warm, dry, and fervent
- Earth is heavy, chilly, and dry (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn).
- Light, hot, wet Air: 3 Gemini; 7 Libra; 11 Aquarius
- Water is the element for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
