Celebrate the Year of the Ox!

The Year of the Ox is celebrated on the 12-year Lunar cycle, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021. For those born in these years, the Ox's qualities are said to influence their own traits and personalities. As noted by the mint,

"The common expression 'strong like an ox' isn't just about physical strength; it also refers to the Ox's mental fortitude. No matter how difficult a task may be, the Ox personality keeps going. While other zodiacs may rely on wit and cunning, the Ox achieves its goals through sheer tenacity and dedication. Its patience is legendary, but the quiet and introverted Ox will buck any injustice and take command if pushed too far. The Ox is fair-minded and a good listener, and will honour you with an unwavering bond."
