2010 ...As the year is about to pass

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step by Lao Tzu"  has always been a beacon in my life's adventure, so do with Feng Shui beliefs, Chinese Astrology and other Chinese/Filipino traditions. To some , they find it awkward, but to me, nothing is lost believing and following them.
As a Scorpion, born in the year of the Metal Ox, 2010 was foretold to be a challenging year in all aspects of my life, health, finances and relationships. 

As the year  draws to a close, I'd rather leave everything behind, hope and look forward for a better  2011 at the beginning of the Chinese New Year on   February 3, 2011 as shown below: 
The OX

Sturdy, earthy, no-nonsense – that’s the Ox. Affectionate and easy-going, the Ox can show a fierce temper when agitated. He is neat, tidy, quiet and studious, with a great love of his home. Music can be a great love. Family life and a loving partner are high on the Ox’s priorities. A wonderful loyal friend.

Forecast for 2011 The Ox will have grown quite a bit during 2010. Its whirlwind moments and sudden challenges meant the Ox had to adjust his thinking and change direction on a dime! Some may feel a bit low about the way things went and it’s important to look forward to 2011 and put 2010 firmly behind them. The Chinese Year of the Rabbit will be encouraging for the Ox. For those who wish to change their career or at least change the direction of it, February, March and September will bring exciting offers and progress. Romance is highlighted in a very special way this year, with unattached Oxen finding themselves in exactly the right place at the right time to meet someone very special. For those in a relationship, this will strengthen and grow. June, July and October are wonderful months for love and romance. Friendship will be important during 2011. Whether the Ox is looking for new friends or drawing on friendships he already has, it’s important that he stays socially active. March, August and December will be particularly busy socially. The Ox should take time to ensure his diet is healthy and that he is taking time to exercise and spend time outdoors. Rest and relaxation will be vital for all Oxen during the Year of the Rabbit.
